Koochiching County intends to put up for auction nearly 25-thousand cords of timber damaged in a windstorm this past July.
A total of 26 tracts of land will be sold off next month.
Loggers and officials with Boise say they would have preferred the auction a month ago.
County Land Commissioner Dennis Hummitzsch says delays in trying to identify the exact size of the damaged areas prohibited them from having the auction earlier.
