Spent night at Grand Marais. Date, 7/19, 1915. District 20. 

 Condition of district, fair. SW. wind. 



Worked in office in forenoon. After dinner, Patrolman Pe- 

 terson and I took boat and ran west four miles. Started up 

 to the tower from there to put new batteries in phone on Mur- 

 phy's mountain; got up about a mile and a half when it 

 started to thunder and spill rain; so we walked back to boat 

 and ran in to G. M.

Left G. M. with motorboat and ran west to Caribou point. 

 Anchored boat and walked up to Arvid Erickson's mill on 

 Caribou lake. This portable mill just started up lately. We 

 found his mill site nicely cleaned up and the brush all piled 

 along road leading into mill. We took Assistant Attorney 

 General Weeks along on the trip, and he seemed to enjoy it 

 very much. Returned to G. M. same evening. Rained while 

 we were out. 



Spent night at G. M., 7/21/15. NW. wind. 



Spent day working about the boat house and boat, helping 

 to put on oil and getting ready to start for Duluth in the 

 morning, if I don't get word to do different. 



Spent night at G. M., 7/22/15. NW. wind. 



Did not leave for Duluth, as we expected to. Spent fore- 

 noon in office, making out vouchers; also wrote a letter. .After 

 dinner, took team and went out to the tower on Murphy's 

 mountain. Put in new batteries and brought back some tools 

 and blankets we had out there. 



Spent night at South Brule, 7/23/15. NW. wind. 



Left G. M. at 8 a. m. for South Brule. Arrived there at 3 

 p. m. Fixed up the canoe and made a yoke on which to carry 

 it. The road is very rough and muddy. Found everything 

 here in good shape. Telephone works fine since the new 

 switchboard was put in. Met U. S. Supervisor Brownell here; 

 he was very wet and so were we, for it rained most all the 

 time we were coming out.
