Macduff, supervisor. Mont of the time the wheel Is pushed by a man on foot, although sometimes it can be maneuvered on hornobacii. This method has been used in this forest for some time, but recently Mr. Macduff noticed in tbe National Geographical magazine that an Arab ian used the bicycle wheel and cyclo meter for the same purpose, but pushing it alongside a camel. Cascade trails will be well marked this year, it is stated, with approxi mately 400 signs on the 200 miles of trails. C. It. Lockard, junior for ester, has gone to Oakridge to aid J. F. McFarland. district ranger in some special survey work and running trail work. Measuring trails will be done regularly f rom now on, and special trail reports will be made from time to time. C. A.
