District Ho. 4 



Them have been no firea In this district during 

 September. 



The work on the Tedock trail has been carried on 

 by two con v/ho have been improving the trail by cutting 

 out the steor grades. 



There is now being constructed a blacksmith shop 

 at the V.'hite Rock Rangar Station by two temporary nen and 

 Foreat Guard Buckl* . This shop will be completed In 

 about two v/eeks. 



Several miles of the telephone route for the 

 telephone over V/hite Rock Ranger Station to the Yola Bola 

 have been looked over as a preparation for later work 

 on the line. I hope to put up several miles of the 

 telephone this year since six and - half miles of the wire 

 are already on the ground. 



The emergency line near Yola Bola lookout has 

 been working very well. The other evening, however, a 

 bear having become entangled in the line, played serious 

 havoc with its usefulness by twisting up the wire quite a 

 bit and stripping the insulation for oeveral feet.

 fires, one on September 13 which burned over an area of 

 three and one -half acroo, and another on September 22 which 

 burned over one-eighth of an aore. The first mentioned fire 

 occurred on private land, the second on Forest land. A 

 light rain falling on Septeraber 25 has eliminated the fire 

 danger in thio section temporarily.
