June 27, 1930: "Forest Ranger T.R. Peterson, stationed on top of Granham Peak as fire lookout and his partner, Eric Swanson, smoke chaser, had a merry time of it early in the week during severe electrical storms in this district.
     One bolt of lightning took the tower off the lookout station, split the roof and played havoc with the entire structure, it was learned here today. The rangers escaped injury but do not care for a repetition of the experience.
     The storm started five fires which were spotted from the station." (Spokane Daily Chronicle)

​July 28, 1931:
  "Construction of a new tower and observatory on Graham peak was completed yesterday by forest service employes, Ed F. Helmers, senior forest ranger, reported last night.  The lookout is one of the most modern in the northwest and gives a greater visibility than any other station in the Coeur d'Alene national forest.

     Mounted on a 60-foot tower atop of the Coeur d'Alene district's highest peaks, the 7x7 foot observatory is entirely enclosed with glass, allowing visibility in all directions.  Included in the equipment is a new Bosworth lookout board, all metal and circular, replacing the old wooden, square type.  Modern lightning protection equipment has been installed and a 'dispatcher's head-set' telephone in use.  Five flights of steps, each 14 feet long, lead to the observatory, which is securely anchored by four guide lines.  Tilmer Peterson is the lookout in charge."  (Spokane Daily Chronicle)

c.1933:   60-foot patrol tower with L-6 cab added.

December 22, 1928:  "Because Clair Corey, 19-year-old fire lookout for the Coeur d'Alene Timber Protective association was on top of a mountain when killed by lightning his parents are entitled to compensation, the state industrial accident board decided Friday.
     The award for the death followed decision denying award to the widows and children of two men killed by lightning in valley section.  In the case of the two men, it was ruled, their work did not increase the hazard of being struck by lightning.  In the case of Corey, his location on Marble mountain in Shoshone county, increased the hazard, the board ruled."  (The Salt Lake Tribune)
