Show ONLY THE FOREST SERVICE CAN DO THIS FOR US with the opening of the fishing season at the yankee reservoir we are again reminded of how fine it would be if this place could be made into a real forest camp like the one at the five mile how much better it would be if a camp ground with the stoves running water and sanitary conveniences conveniences were built up there it would also be possible to have some supervision of the fishing at that place if a caretaker was placed there such as is done by the forest service at the camps they have built in this section that some supervision is needed there questioned by anyone hardly anyone who goes there makes any effort to keep the camping places clean and sanitary cans paper and bottles are throws out anywhere fish are cleaned in the creeks and along the edge vf the lake which causes a very un sanitary condition private property especially boats left there by owners are misused and thing stolen from them illegal methods of fishing go on there all during the season and fishing hours are not observed by many as they should be with a care taker there and doing his duty much of this could be prevented who is going to do this the owners of the land around the reservoir cant afford to do it because there is no remuneration in it for them the sportsmens sports mens organization has all it can do to keep the place stocked with fish for those who nho go there the reservoir company which owns the water is interested te mainly in it as a place to store water and is therefore out as as tar far as supervision is concerned and too many of those who go there to fish are only interested in getting their limit and leaving giving no na thought to how they are leaving their camp or the streams running into the reservoir this leaves only one organization which is interested in the yankee which could coald and would do something to better things there this is the forest service they are am able to provide the campground and its facilities and give it the kind 0 supery supervision ision that is needed there and ana the forest r orest ser willing and anxious to do this very thing for us and have been tor for the past year they have offered to do a lot more than that they have offered to build better retort resort trails out to scenic points in that vicinity and do other things which would add greatly to it as a tourist attraction tract ioa all that 4 s asked by th the forest service is that the land around the yankee approximately acres be procured by us and turned over to it to use as it sees sec fit and to keep private interests fro from in capitalizing on tho the improvements that are put there it seems that thai all the citizens of this community should think this over and then do all that is possible to put this project aver over |
