Forest Ranger Has
; Seen Long Service
SANDY, July 11 C. L. Henson,
whose resignation, took effect at Zig
Zag June 30, took charge of the Little
Sandy ranger station in 1910. He has
seen forest protection develop in this
section from a single patrolman with
a pack on his back climbing over
high peaks to reach lookouts and fife
finders, to Ford cars and even aero
plane service.
There were only 7 miles of phone
lines when Henson went to the Little
Sandy. Now there are 79 miles of
lines in this district, all of which
were built under his supervision.
There are at present 171 miles of
trails. All the old rtails have been
reconstructed and many new one's
built, which includes the loop trail
around Bull Run reserve. Henson
first entered the service in 1908 in
Hood River ranger district No. 1,
and moved his wife and six months
old daughter up to the mountains on
horseback where they lived in tents
for two years. At Lava Lake Mrs.
Henson was alone all one summer
with "no settlement 'in thirty miles.
The only accident occurring under
Henson's regime was during the big
fire on Roaring river in 1919 when
Roy Mitchell, a Sandy overseas hero
was killed by a falling tree.
" Henson will probably move to San
dy this fall.
