 Trail Should Be Marked
 It has been brought to the attention of The Pioneer that the trail between 1dltarod and Ophir is in places extremely dangerous in stormy weather, the stakes which orlgl- nallv marked the trail, and for the placing of which the citizens of Iditarod and Ophlr subscribed several hundred dollars year ago. having been blown down and remaining unplaced It is pointed out that during storms when the trail becomes obhterated there is nothing to indicate the direction to follow and only the fact that there have been but few storms so far this winter seems to be alone responsible for there having been no casualties Travellers are warned not to travel after nightfall until this condition has been remedied.
 In this connection recently arrived trav- elers commend the marking of trails in manner similar to that employed by Jim Fullerton in his recent trail-building. He has nailed boards at convenient intervals Tn the form of a signpost, with arms crossing, and it is said that these are never out of sight of the traveller, and can be easily dis tinguished.
