46 FOREST PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION 
from the lookout to the Bowen Camps, a distance of one mile. It 
ss now in fine condition. Mr. Bowen built this line a few years 
ago. He has not been at his camp for two years but he is willing 
for the State to use his line if it will keep it up. Mr. Small recom- 
mended last spring that I should do this. Mr. Bowen wishes me 
to use his camps in case of fires or in any way to help out the good 
cause. I would recommend that the State extend its telephone line 
from the station to the central office, so that we may have a clear 
line at all times, as at present there are fourteen parties on the

line and at times it is bothersome. I would suggest that our fire 
camp be enlarged. It is only ten by twelve feet, and with the bed, 
sink, stove, etc., it is too crowded and also in summer very hot. 
An addition of about eight by ten would make it very comfortable. 
I think it would be of great advantage to have a thirty-foot steel 
tower at this station; this would allow us to cover a much greater 
area. The slash in my section is well cleaned up. I have cleaned 
up the brush around the camps and the trails are also bushed out. 
I have been around and collected all my large signs. 
In visiting the camp and lookout recently I found that some of 
the roofing at both places needs to be renailed and also repainted. 
I shall see to it at once.
