wrestle with, and with due thanks to the Property Auditor, I 

 think I have every Improvement vividly Impressed cm ny memory. 

 I arc euro I would recognize every house, barn, toolhouse or 

 fence at any of the rangor stations, and as for the telephone 

 lines, roads, trails and bridges, - Just ask no, and I will 

 tell you what they are made of and h*w constructed. 



The work has boon, to say the least, very Interesting and 

 ir^ver monotonous, for while there is a great deal of everyday 

 routine work, thcro is also something new and diverting coming 

 up every day, and as there are eight telephone lines coming In- 

 to the office, cue can readily beliove that that helps some to 

 relieve any monotony that might occur. 



The Sierra National Forest as a whole will always have a 

 place in 3iy heart, and tho memory of the pleasant days spent 



th my fellow workers, both In a business and in a social way, 

 will remain fresh for all the years to come. I am proud of 

 this Forest and proud of the fact that I have been, even In the 

 smallest way, connected with It for tho past two years and a 

 half.

The ciuostion of installing a satisfactory water system 

 for tho special uso permittees at Big Creek has been consid- 

 ered for some time. On Uovombor S.Deputy Supervisor Jordan 

 net with a number of the permittees and an Informal agreement 

 was rrxide for a cooperative project. On December 3, Mr. Jordan, 

 Clerk Leslie (who is an even better engineer than clerk;, and 

 Deputy Supervisor J.D.Coffr-an of the Trinity all went to Big 

 Creek, and this time an accurate survey was made, with the 

 transit, of the proposed pipe-line route. Mr.Ieslie then 

 napped it, permission and additional funds were obtained from 

 the District Forester, bids for pipe sent out, and all in all 

 the project seems in a fair way to be completed during the com- 

 ing summer. 



Deputy Supervisor Coffman, after this introduction to work 

 on the Sierra, was on this Forest, either in tho office or in 

 the field, for a month, after which he went to the Sequoia For- 

 est with llr.Redington, This is tho first of the Interforest 

 details inaugurated by the District Forester, and the Sierra 

 feels it has profited by the interchange of theories, conclu- 

 sions and plans. Tho Impetus ^Ivon by a man with a fresh view- 

 point was decidedly worth vhilo.
