Washington, Oct, 27.—During the coming winter and spring many miles of traills will be built in the government forest reserves. One of the chief cares of the forest service in the man- agement of the reserves is to protect them against fire. A statement issued by the forestry service today says: “The trails will afford a means jof reaching all parts of the forest reserves on horseback and the Ifire lines will form vantage points from which the fire may be attacked, or against which it may be directed and there con- trolled. “There are already many miles of trails in the various reserves, but most of them are rough, in poor condition, or not passable for horses. The trails to be bult will be carefully planned and constructed with an |easy grade. This does not in volve much expense, for in many situations a perfectly good trail can be built for $20 a mile and many miles will costless than $5. { The work will be directed by the regular forest officials and the rangers themselves will perform most of the labor.. There is no question but that these trails will prove of inestimable value in protecting the forest reserves. Many of them will also be worth as much more in making regions accessible to hunters and pros- pectors, which are now almost entirely beyond reach.” ‘jiany Miles to Be Built on .

The present spell of cold weather is just what loggers in this vicinity have been wishing ‘for, and now that they have got it they are daily becoming more active in preparing for the sea- son’s work. It is one of the most important things in the log- ging business that the ground should be frozen to a depth of seyeral inches before snow falls, so that the work may be carried on without it being necessary for the men employed to wade through water in order to cut roads and make the other pre- parations for the winter’s work. Is is also important that the ground should be frozen before operations are‘started for the reason that unless a good bottom is obtained under the logging roads the hauling season is in- variably late. The conditions so far indicate that the coming sea- son will be an excellent one, Minnesota - Wisconsin vFootball Game. - On account of the Minnesota- Wisconsin football game at Min- neapolis, Novemoer 4th, the Great Northern Railway will sell tickets at the rate of one fare plus 50 cents for the round trip.
