TRAIL MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION PLANNED
 IN WRANGELL AREA

Routine maintenance work on the Mill Creek, Pats Creek, Hunks Creek, Anan Creek, Aaron Creek, Wrangell Reservoir and Rainbow Falls trails will be done this summer by the Forest Ser vice, according to Division Super visor Knox Marshal. The work is scheduled to start sometime in May and will be done by local men as much as possible. Work on the Pats Creek trail will include the sweeping out of a trail from the end of the road to the creek in addition to the trail from the beach to the lake.
 MT. Marshal also announced that within 30 days work will start on the construction of 21a miles of new trail in Kasheets Bay from the beach to the lake At the lake a shelter will be built similar to the one at Mill Creek and in addi- tion, 12 foot punt will be put on the lake. It is also planned, he said. to put a 12 foot punt on Toms Lake before July.
 It is planned to do a small amount of repair work in the Wrangell Park such as building a new bridge across the creek and fixing the broken tables and dam aged shelters.
 The seldom used emergency Stikine River trail from Green Point to Andrews Creek will be checked before fall with any need ed minor work completed.
 MT. Marshal explained that there are no road construction plans at the present time, and with the increased interest in pulp mills and timber, it was difficult to obtain money for the recreational program of trails and parks.
 MT. Marshal arrived in Wran- gell last Tuesday to scale logs for half dozen loggers in this area. While here he also checked the homesite survey out the Zimovia Highway. He reports that all the homesites are taken up between town and the Institute but that about 40 homesites are open from the end of the road to the Insti tute.
