Troops Will Not be Sent to Patrol the
Glacier Trail—Marshal May Send
Special Deputies.
Captain Erwin, commanding officer
of Fort Liscum, has received instruc
tions from the department at Wash
ington not to send troops to patrol the
glacier trail from McCarty to the
Chisana. It was expected to send sol
diers for the work to aid the travel
ers and prevent vandals from de
stroying the stakes placed at great
expense along the glacier trail to
mark the way during the terrific
storms which sometimes rage on the
glacier. The department, however,
has decided that the work can best be
done by the Cnited States marshal,
who can employ special officers better
adapted to the work
In the early part of the season a
large number of the stakes on the
glacier trail were used for kindling by
the stampeders, causing the fear that
during future storms the loss of life
would be heavy. The damage has
been repaired and the public feel
ing aroused by the vandalism has
prevented its repetition.
