Scope and Contents

  1. Woodbury began the year by moving his wife and son to Enterprise Ranger Station. During January, February and March, Woodbury was occupied with his usual duties--surveying, investigating claims, patrolling the range, and repairing fences. With the help of Fritz A. Johnson as guide, he investigated mining claims in Bull Valley from January 19-21. From February to mid-March Woodbury and a crew surveyed the Nevada boundary line and proposed additions to the Forest in the Beaver Dam and Shoal Creek watersheds. This survey was hampered by heavy snow. The final week of March was spent investigating the site of a new ranger station at Grassy Valley and proposed eliminations in Diamond Valley.
  2. 20 March. "A ranger meeting [of the Dixie, Kanab and Ogden officers] is scheduled for 21 & 22 and I was booked for a short paper [on the ranger and his duties]."
  3. 30 March. Woodbury met with representatives of the Enterprise Reservoir and Canal Co. who "had filed on 6000 cubic feet of water to be stored on the top of their present reservoir and wanted a permit to raise the dam and a right of way for the additional water." The following day, Woodbury telephoned Supervisor Raphael who advised that a new survey of the area to be inundated by the reservoir would be necessary before a permit would be issued.
