and finer headquarters than ever before. Those who have not 

 subscribed to this fund and are able to do so will kindly remem- 

 ber it. 



The accessions to our new library have been noted in our 

 circular letters from time to time, and indicate that we will start 

 with a splendid nucleus for a mountaineering library. Since 

 our last circular was issued the Government Survey of Canada 

 has sent us duplicates of all its publications which are still in 

 print. 



The King's River Report which was published in our last 

 Bulletin will doubtless do a great deal toward attracting atten- 

 tion to that region, and we already have promise that certain of 

 the recommendations made in the report as to construction of 

 trails and bridges will be carried out in the near future by the 

 Forest Service. 



We plan to issue a similar report on Yosemite Valley and its 

 needs in the January, 1908, Bulletin, and endeavor to secure a 

 large appropriation for the improvement of the valley and the 

 surrounding national park from the next Congress. Since we 

 v/ill visit this region on our Outing this summer, we will be in a 

 position to render a comprehensive and intelligent report. 



This Outing promises to be a splendid success in every way. 

 The heavy winter will make the falls especially attractive, and 

 the High Sierra will be most picturesque with its mantle of snow. 



During the fall of last year we secured, through the courtesy 

 of Mr. Chas. F. Vogelsang and the State Board of Fish Commis- 

 sioners, 5,000 rainbow trout fry, which were planted in Copper 

 Creek of the King's River Canon, and also 15,000 Eastern brook 

 trout fry, which were planted in the hitherto Ashless waters of 

 Paradise Valley. The success of this commendable enterprise is 

 due to the generosity of certain members of the Club who sub- 

 scribed to a fund to cover necessary incidental expenses, and 

 also to the generous services of Mr. Gallagher, of the King's 

 River Stage Company, and to Mr. P. A, Kanawyer, of Millwood, 

 who assisted in the very difficult transportation of the fry. 

 This is work which the Club could undertake and direct to great 

 advantage. No one thing will do more to aid in popularizing 

 and attracting travel into our mountains than the systematic 

 stocking of the vast number of lakes and streams in our High 

 Sierra that are admirably adapted to fish life and yet have none 

 whatever. In places a very little work will accomplish the 

 desired result, and again it will take money and time to stock 

 certain less accessible regions. 



Through the generosity of Mr. Alden Sampson, our die has 

 been replaced, and stationery stamped with it may be obtained
