A Look-out in British Columbia. 



The accompanying ilhistrations 

 show the Huckleberry Hill Look-out, 

 erected this year in the Lillooet forest 

 district of British Columbia, and the 

 outlook obtained therefrom, looking 

 N. E. over Horse Lake. 



While this Look-out is similar in 

 character to many others in various 

 parts of the Dominion, some details 

 concerning it may be of interest. The 

 railed platform is 8 feet square and 30 



feet above the ground. The time oc- 

 cupied in construction was ten days, 

 the work apart from hauling being car- 

 ried out by two forest guards at a time 

 when the low fire hazard permitted 

 their transfer from patrol. The total 

 cost, including the guards' time, haul- 

 ing and supplies, was a few cents over 

 $58.00. and is small in proportion to the 

 assistance the look-out will afford in 

 the protection against fire of the area 

 controlled.
