Show MARKING FOREST TRAILS Word has gone forth from forest headquarter to have the roads, trails, and streams on the national forests well marked before the camping season opens. In consequence si nj conveying accurate, reliable information are being prepared, at odd times during the winter when storms and deep snow make it impracticable to engage in outside work, to be placed at points where needed throughout the forests. At every crossroad cross-road or point where there is a probability proba-bility of leaving the main roadsor trails a sign will indicate the direction snd distance to local geographic points. If the trail is well defined there will be no further directions until another point of divergence is reached; if, however, the trail is so dim that it is hard to distinguish disting-uish it from the many game and stock trials, it will be "blazed," that is trees along it will be marked with a catface slash under a line at a height of about five feet. These blazes should not be confused with a blaze without a line, or bar, above it, since the latter are often made by hunters or others for the purpose of locating game or other things they have cached. No longer will travelers have to rely on the directions, sometimes misunderstood, misunder-stood, that they get from the occasional occasion-al meeting with other pleasure seekers, but with the trails plainly marked, persons per-sons visiting a forest for the first time will not be delayed and lose patience in taking a wrong trail at a junction point; nor will they travel for miles in doubt as to whether they have passed the point where they were directed to turn off from the main toad to find adelight-ful adelight-ful little spot for camping, tucked away among the wooded hills by the side of one of the numerous mountain meadows, just large enough to afford abundant pasturage for the camp stock. (Continued on page 4) MAiiKiHil FOOT TRAILS (Continued from page 1) Many localities have two or more creeks which h tve been known by the same name, such as D-er, Moose, Bear, or Rapid creek This duplication of names is being corrected, leaving the iiest known creek to retain its local name, and restoring to the other, so I far as practic i bio, its original distinctive distinc-tive and euphonious Indian name. Maps have been prep ired of some loca lities, showing creeks, roads, trails, and the location of ranker stations. The prac- tice of calling at the Utter is becoming I the more general as the attitude of the I forest service and its local representa-' representa-' tives toward the traveling public is the 5 better understood. The ranger, familiar I with the remote points of his district and its animal life, welcomes visitors, : and lends such assistance as is practi-i practi-i cable, including the use of his telephone, ! which has on ' he occasion of accident j been the means of summoning medical assistance when delav would have rc- suited in prolonged h-i ITeri'i and po- sible death. While 'v.-ll-m irked trails and tide- phone service are of great convenience to the camper, the sheet-iron Ftove has probably contributed more to his comfort com-fort than any other one thing. A camp outfit, be it for on" or a dozen, is not complete if it does not include a ,camp stove. The convenience and comfort in preparing the meals, the saving of both labor and wood in keeping the pot boiling, and reducing to the minimum the danger of FOREST FIRES, make it almost indispensable. These stoves can be bouyl-.t at sporting goods and outfitting out-fitting stores at prices raneing from 55 cents for a small camp broiler to $3 for a 4-hole collapsible stove weighing a-bout a-bout 11 pounds. Good stoves, not collapsible, col-lapsible, can be had from $1.50 to $2.25. To the person going camping for the first time, or to the man with whom camping has become a habit, a visit to a store that specializes in camp equipment equip-ment and sporting goods will be a long step toward maki 'g his summer outing a success.
