54 FOREST PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION 
A good trail has been cleared out from the foot of DeBoulie 
Mountain to the top, where the watchman had a temporary lookout 
in the trees, which answered the purpose very well for this year. 
The steel tower for the DeBoulie Mountain lookout station, and 
other materials for building the same, were started en route for 
the mountain, but too late to get there last spring; therefore the 
work was put over until this fall. As soon as the lakes freeze up 
I would recommend that the work be completed. 
I would also suggest that the patrolman’s camp on Walla- 
grass Lake should be moved to higher ground at the head of first 
lake, where there is a never-failing spring of water. The reason 
for this is, that the American Realty Company has built a large 
dam at the foot of the lake that flows the water nearly over the 
floor of the camp at present. This could be moved with small cost 
in the early fall when the lake is frozen over. One pair of horses 
could haul it to the new site.

There have been three lookout stations in operation in my dis- 
trict this season. Squaw Mountain station has been greatly im- 
proved by the erection of a modern steel tower, 20 feet high, placed 
on the highest.peak. This gives the lookout man a better view of 
Indian Stream Town and Big Indian Pond. JI recommend six miles 
of telephone wire for a metallic line for Squaw Mountain, as our 
telephone service is very poor. 
I recommend a 40-foot steel tower for Lily Bay Mountain, to 
be put up first thing next spring. Wire, insulators and brackets 
should be sent to Greenville some time during the winter for Squaw 
Mountain.

Although there have been several small fires along the railroad, 
I have had but one bad fire in my territory during the season. This 
occurred at Chase Stream and was quite a bad one on account of 
the high winds and its being so far away from men. The help 
used to extinguish this was almost wholly Preble & Robinson’s 
crews of lumbermen. The smaller fires along the railroad have 
been almost wholly taken care of by the railroad men, except one 
at Misery Siding which deputy warden Daniel Burns, with a crew 
of log-drivers, took care of. There was a small fire July 3 on
