No new sta tion work was let during the week on account of all teams being used to get in winter supplies and thawing wealth CT making it practically impossible to get supplies over the trail between Potter and Rainbow creeks.

 Sheep creek comp is about so per cent completed. A two-rOOm emerg- ency hospital, size 16 X 82 feet, is un- der construction at that point.
 McHugh Creek camp is about so per cent completed, and Rainbow creek camp about 05 per cent com pleted. A two-room emergency hos pital, size 16 92 feet, is under con struction at the latter place.
 Considerable delay has been ex perienced in getting the different camps completed on account of the lack of roofing and lumber.
 Bridge No. 1122, across Chester creek, which was reported 95 per cen complete in last weeks report, is nov finished.
 The trail between Rainbow and In dian creeks is practically completed It is now possible to ride hOrs through to Indian creek"
