Extensive Use Made of Forest Klamath Falls - Extensive use of recreation lacilities continues on the Winema Na tional forest. According to Earl Karlin per, Klamath district ranger, some fine catches of fish have been reported on the district. Portions of the Ore gon Skyline trial are being reconstructed and improved. Most of the other trails on the district are free of snow snd many have been main tained this year. Many forest travelers are visiting Four mile lake and Lake of the Woods, it was reported. The Oregon State Game commission reports it is still not possible to restock Mil ler lake on the Chemull dis trict. The lake and its tribu taries were treated several years ago to control lamprey i-el. Testing is continually being done and, according to . the game commission, the lake will be restocked when il becomes non-toxic. The game commission also con structed an eel-pronf dam at Miller Creek Falls tn prevent future rcinvasion. With con trol of lamprey established, Miller lake and Miller creek should provide excellent fishing when they are re stocked. INFANTRY TRAINING Army National Guardsman pvt. John H. Gates and Pvt.
