MISCELLANEOUS 



With the growing interest in nature and wild 

 Mountain Climbing life, in the forests and mountains, outdoor and 

 Clubs of the mountain climbing clubs are becoming recognized 

 Northwest by foresters as organizations on whom they can 



rely as allies. In the broadening of the recrea- 

 tional use of the National Forests in the North Pacific region at least 

 the Federal and State forest officers have found warm supporters in 

 the full but proper use of the forests by such organizations as the 

 Mazamas of Oregon and the Mountaineers of Washington. Each of 

 these mountaineering clubs issue publications which are worthy records 

 of their many trips over trails and to the summits of peaks within the 

 National Forests. Forest officers are members of and co-operators 

 with these clubs. The Mazamas, founded in 1894, have shown their 

 interest in the forests in a most practical way, by the construction of 

 forest trails, in making and putting up trail signs and markers, and in 

 inculcating a sentiment in those who love and use the outdoors, of 

 healthy regard for the rights and health of the other fellow, by insist- 

 ing on sanitation and the utmost care with fire. 



The last volume of the Mazama, of 100 pages, the publication of the 

 Mazamas which has been issued since 1896, contains readable records 

 of their 1920 trips, with much historical and some scientific data of 

 note. This last volume is No. 1 of Vol. VI. 



The latest issue of the Mountaineers' annual contains accounts of 

 several trips to peaks within National Forests, an article on the Indians 

 of the Olympic Peninsula, several illustrations by forest officers, and 

 acknowledgments to hearty co-operation by forest officers. The Moun- 

 taineers were first organized in 1906 and this is Vol. XIII of their 

 publication. J. D. G.
