Fig. 117. — Lookout Station on Sanger Peak, northern California, in the 

 Siskiyou National Forest. These stations are placed on the high peaks to 

 aid in fire protection. A lookout man lives here during the summer months. 

 He is on the watch for fires. The notice of a fire with its direction is at 

 once telephoned to a central station. The living room is below, the observa- 

 tion room above. 



Fig. 118. — California pitcherplant {Darluigtonia calif ornica) in a bog 

 along Josephine Creek, near Kerby, Oregon. The leaves are tubular with 

 an arching hoodlike summit, beautifully mottled with purple. Large numbers 

 of insects are found in the old leaves. The species is allied to the pitcher- 

 plants of our southeastern states (Sarracenia). 



Fig. 119. — McKenzie Pass, Oregon. The main road from Eugene to Bend 

 goes over the Cascade Mountains at this point. The whole region has been 

 covered with a series of lava flows. Here are shown comparatively recent 

 flows passing around a hill of earlier flows. The recent lava does not yet 

 support vegetation.
