development of the country. A central office has been established at 

 Kamloops for looking after the organization and protection of these 

 forest reserves, and several trails have been opened up and other work 

 undertaken for the better protection of the reserves. 



One of the most interesting features of the reserves is the beauti- 

 ful little lakes found in them. One of these, generally known as Trout 

 lake, in the Long Lake Forest reserve near Kamloops, has become 

 quite a summer resort and is celebrated for its fishing. People from all 

 parts of the world come there for that purpose. A portion of the shore 

 of this lake has recently been surveyed and is being handled by the 

 Forestry Branch as a summer resort. The area proposed to be added is 

 1,670.51 square miles.
