Scope and Contents

During July Woodbury prepared reports, issued fishing and hunting licenses and surveyed the line of a new drift fence in Diamond Valley. When John Raphael became sick in mid-July Woodbury took over the supervisory duties in the St. George office. He remained until August 4. After returning to Pine Valley, Woodbury continued the survey on the new drift fence, prepared a report and discussed it with the stockmen. On August 20 he travelled to the district office in Ogden to have the project approved. Woodbury and his wife, who had accompanied him on his trip to Ogden, remained in Salt Lake City through September 4. Upon returning to Pine Valley, Woodbury resumed his routine duties.
7 August. Woodbury discussed the new drift fence with the stockmen and proposed that they build the fence if the Forest Service provided the materials. All were enthusiastic but Woodbury cautioned that the agreement depended upon the approval of the supervisor and district forester.
12 August. Woodbury "drove over to the Newcastle Reclamation Co.'s camp in the head of Pinto Canyon. [He] found that they were building cabins and roads and intended to put up a cable. I think they have no permit for the operations."
16 August. Woodbury prepared a special use report of the People's Telephone Company's line.
20 August. Woodbury met with the District Forester in Ogden to discuss the Pine Valley drift fence. The project was approved with a budget of $1,760.
