PREPARE WORK
FOR SUMMER
Forest Office Busy Outlining Plans
for Campaign Against Fire Menace
This Summer Badly Handicapped
by Lack of Necessary Funds.
nans nre m course ot prepara
tion in tho local office of the forest
service for tho work to bo done in
tho Crater national forest in prepa
ration for the coining summer, and
while everything depends upon tho
amount of money appropriated with
which to cany on tho work, it is be
licvevd that sufficient now work- will
be possible, to keep an increased
force busy.
The work of building tho portion
of tho Crater Lake road situated
within the boundaries of tho fore-it
will bo commenced about April J.
This work is being carried on under
n provision of $5000 recently mndo
for the purpose of which n part will
bo apportioned for the work to be
done within tho forest limits. The
road is now pnssablo and about 1"
men will bo put to work upon it.
With tho exception of a bridge across
Whiskey creek, almost 10 miles of
tho rood has already been construct
ed and eigli miles more will be added
to it this summer. It is hoped to
open the road by the latter part of
June.
No provision hns ns yet been mndo
by the war department for tho sta
tioning of United States troops in
the forests during the summer months
and it is feared that the proposed
move has been allowed to die for
want of sufficient agitation, but a
number of extra fire guards will be
stationed in the forest from timo lo
time until, by July 1 n sufficient
number to handle any ordinary blaze
wil have been put to work.
