MT. JUNEAU ASCENT
 IS MADE YESTERDAY

Mountain climbing season was ushered in yesterday when Fred Huntress and M. T. Bogby com pleted a round trip ascent to the top of Mt Juneau in seven and one half hours.
 They left here at am. and took to the hills to the rear of the gov- ernment wireless station. Above timber line they were forced to use an ice axe to cross fields of ice and snow
 Numerous ptarmigan were sight ed by the pair above timber line The birds were quite tame. They took a number of pictures of them after herding some of them into compact groups.
 A sun reflector which they took with them failed to attract atten- ton in town, due partly, they said, to the smoke haze which hung over Juneau.
 Bogby and Huntress descended by the Cape Horn trail From the summit down to timber they slid most of the way The going was quite difficult among the trees, as the snow was melting. They re- turned to town about 3:30 pm.

 The early days of the Forest Service were vastly different from today MT. Holbrook, reminiscing today, recalled he first received $2 per day. Beside his own services he was required to furnish two horses and feed himself and the animals. It required some financing to meet the requirements. Tn the winter of 1905-06, feed was scarce for the cayuses, so MT. Holbrook sold his saddle to get cash to buy hay for them, and bought another saddle on the installment plaf9
 Paydays were sometimes deferred two months or more, as the time sheets and work reports were sent in to Washington and checks for mailed out from there to the field Most of us owed all of the merchants before we got our he recalled. When I got my first promotion from temporary assistant to Assistant Forest Rang CT and raise from $6o to $75, it was the most appreciated one I have ever had" he said
