TRAIL SYSTEM FOR
THE SISKIY0U RESERVE

On the theory that the time to
fight forest fire is when the fire has
Just started, Supervisor r. l..
Fromme of the Siskiyou national for
ests has prepared. an exhaustive re-
port on the fires of last season for
the district office. In which he out
lines plans for repairing old trails
and building new ones, with a mile
age OF 492, at total estimated cost
OF s50,745.
In his report Mr., Fromme points
out that so many portions of the
forest are inaccessible that II
can get start OF several days be-
fore II is reached. Better trails and
plenty of them will obviate this con
dition greatly, because II will en-
able the rangers to reach the fire
more quickly. Mr.. Fromme also
points out many OF the present trails
run in the bottom of steep CANYONS
and are practically valueless fro.., a
patrol point OF view.
He advocates the building Of some
trails along the ridges 90 that the
man detailed to watch for fires in
n large district may be enabled to
look over larger scope of territory
Ne supervisors scheme also in
wolves the bulldinc OF $40 miles OF
telephone lines within the forest at
an estimated cost OF s16,510. This
will make communication with every
part OF the forest easy and will re-
suit in getting men to fires more
quickly than would be possible other
wise. The report also urges the
erection of more rangers' cabins and
stables, to the estimated value OF
S5395 and pasture fences at cost
OF s2Ss5.
Showing the inadequacy OF fire pa.
troll in the forest with the limited
number of men now on the force and
with the poor system OF trails, the
report points out that district one
OF the forest, in charge OF Ranger w.
B. Milbury, embraces 1856, 900 acres.
To patrol II efficiently would require
300 miles OF travel each day Of the
fire season.
In district two there are 200. 900
acres to be watched. 150 miles must
be Travelled each day to patrol this
area during the fire months. Ranger
H. B. Hills is In charge.
Ranger Wittrock has charge OF dis
trict three. embracing 100000 acres,
and must travel 800 miles a day. II
he would patrol II as II should be
done.
Ranger Anderson has charge OF
district four, which has l9S 900. Two
hundred miles OF travel are REQUIRED
daily to patrol this territory.
Ranger Jones In district five has
100000 acres to care for, which re-
quire $50 miles of travel to efficient
ly patrol each day.
District six contains 100000 acres
and Ranger Mel Lewis in charge
must travel 300 miles day.

CHICAGO, Dec. Threatened
with arbltary reduction OF sleeping
car rates, through an order Of the

an offer Of a voluntary reduction OF

NORMAL ALUMNE IN FIGHT
Insurgents Give Their Ticket the
Name of Harmony.

BY digging in old reports the independent
party in the Associate Alumnae OF the
Normal College has brought to light some
figures which are being used with consider
able effect in the campaign which cuinai-
mates on Saturday.
During the four years preceding the
present administration" says the letter
sent out to the alumn9, the annual re-
ports show gain of 791 members During
the four years of this administration the
reports show a loss of 643 members. This
means a loss of 791 graduates who should
have become members Of the association
and of 643 members who have LETT the as
ISOLATION, making total loss of 1,4Si mem
hers. In other words the association to-
dav is but little more than half as large as
II normally should be. 1t is crippled In It's
finances and narrowed in its policy."
