Canyon near its ^unotion with the South Pork. Ke^rt year, 

 If funds aro available, It is hoped to complete the trail 

 from Palisade Creek up the Middle Pork of Eings River to 

 Muir Pass and to start in on the trail from Blaney Mead- 

 ow over Selden Pass and down Bear Creek. 



The uniform ooraralttee reoently appointed by the Dis- 

 trict Forester, after having ascertained the sentiment of 

 the field men on the question, held meetings in San Prcm- 

 oisoo October 18-25. ninety-six percent of the odd 325 

 field men heard from favored the wearing of a uniform. The 

 committee made its recommendations aonoerning the kind of 

 uniform to b* adopted, and adopted rules for its wear. 

 This report will soon be sent to all the field men. 



It will be renembered that the last number of the Ran- 

 ger called for a good fire picture for the cover illustra^ 

 Ton of this number. The most striking one received was 

 fron Ranger Soothe . The fire, while not serious, waa a 

 wonder fully picturesque one. It occurred in the canyon of 

 Middle Pork of Eings River, when Boothe and the Super- 

 'Isor, finding the temperature much lower than had been an- 

 icipated when bedding for the trip had been selected, 

 Built a camp fire In the night and were later wakened by 

 the brilliant light caused by the flawing up of a white- 

 arked pine (P.albioaulis) to whose foot their fire had 

 crept. Boothe had enough presence of mind to photograph 

 the blaze before making it safe. 



The registration at the ranger stations this summer 

 taled 1437, the largest number being 374 at Mr .Leslie's 

 oanp near the Pines, and the next largest at the Signal 

 Lookout to which guests at Wawena sometimes olinb. 

 til o the men keeping registers report that the traveling 

 io was glad to register, feeling that in that way they 

 easily lowt d i* anything important happened 



The t^tal registration at the hotels within the Porest 

 where people stay for some length of time, was approximately 

 4000. In addition there was a registration of about 20,000 

 at Miami Lodge and Waweaa, mainly transients on their way to 

 or from Y samite Valley but seeing something of the Forest 

 whr thp Htage rads go through as fine timber as there is 



on the Sierra.
