If you could trade places with me for, a season and see some of the stunts of these vandals, you’d know why I. get hot under the Stetson. Let’s look at this \business with common sense. Herse’ Here’s the forest Service and the automobile associations of the state spending a lot of good money each year to p'ut up fine enamel signs so 3iat our own folks and all the people who visit... this district can tour around in the mountains without getting lost. Then along comes some smart aleck with a gun and Bang! Bang! another sign is shot full of holes and ready for the ash heap.- And It isn’t only. one,, but thousands, of them that get made, into a sieve that-a-way. Seems like these fellows would appreciate rather than depre ciate asign, and think a bit about the people that’s coming after. Every time a sign is badly defaced a new one has to be made and put up, and that means more money and work. Once in a while we catch these birds, and the way. the judge usually hands it to them sure does a man’s heart good. If there is anyone tha tought to get it, and get it good, it’s these sign poachers. “Now look at tihose autograph sharks and some of their artistic work.
