LOOKOUT STATION 10
BE ESTABLISHED ON
George Ilonebrake, who is em
ployed in the local forestry offices,
returned here this afternoon after
constructing a new telephone liue
and trail from Wolf Creek to the
summit of Ked Uutte mountaiu.
The distance between the two
points is about eight miles, accord
ing to S. C. Bartrum, and the im
provements were made with consid
erable difficulty on the part of the
men In charge. Besides construct
ing the trail and telephone line the
Government will soon establish a
lookout station on the summit of Hed
Butte. The station will be modern
ly equipped, and will prove very
valuable in locating fires in that sec
tion of the county. Ked Butte is one
of the highest mountains in this part
of the state, and the surrounding
country can be seen for a distance
of many miles.
