The total registrations number sew
ally visiting the forest run into the
thousands. The supervisor urges every
one to register and states, also, that
before leaving home, tourists should
designate the Forest Supervisor,
HALEY, Idaho" as forwarding address
for telegraph and telephone messages
for all cases of emergencies.
PLACE MEDICINE CHEST.
Another feature of value is the medi-
cine chest recently placed at the Rus
sian John ranger station. This station
is half way between HALEY and the
Alturas lake region on the main Wood
river road. Notice is given of tho
medicine at the register box and the
chest contains the necessary medicine,
bandages and first aid packets and in
struCtions for emergency cases. This
service is without charge to the public,
the materials being donated by a
member of the Red Cross.
Several residents OF Twin Falls have
secured sites for summer homes on the
forest under term leases. One Of these
is located on Warm Springs creek and
two others are situated near the I2asley
hot springs on Wood river. Leases of
this kind We're provided for last year
by congress and furnish the means
whereby tracts not exceeding five acres
in size may be secured for "A term of
years at a small annual rental. Those
desiring to erect more or less perma
nent summer cottages are assured pos
session from year to year, but this law
in no way interferes with the transient
campers. on the Sawtooth forest are
a great many beautiful sites for sum
mer homes and forest officers expect
heavy demand as soon as the pos
siblities become better known.
FOREST FIRES.
The fire season has closed on the
Sawtooth, a total of 10 fires having oc-
CURED during the summer. All Of
these fires were quickly placed under
control and less than eight acres were
burned over causing only nominal dam
age. Lightning and careless campers
are the cause of nearly all fires One
cause is preventable, and the local Of
ficers state that campers generally are
using much greater care than formerly.
The recreational use of the Sawtooth
forest is bound to greatly increase.
Very few sections Of the country offer
the good roads, the magnificent seen
cry and beautiful camping sites that
this region does and the many prosper
Gus communities OF southern Idaho will
undoubtedly take more and more adj
vantage Of them. The forest service is
encouraging this use in every possible
way and welcomes constructive crit
icism that will tend to improve the
camping facilities of the forest on
the other hand. it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the users of the forest
cooperate in their protection. and it
devolves upon the tourist to do his
share by being careful with fire and by
keeping his camp in a neat and sani-
tary condition.
Some very complete maps of the
Sawtooth national forest have been
prepared, showing roads, trails camp
ing sites. scenic areas, telephones and
describing forest trips and resources.
These may be obtained without charge
by addressing the Forest Supervisor,
HALEY, Idaho.
