5 mi. W Cowalla, 3500 ft., Bonner Co., Idaho.
July 27, 1932
At 2 p.m. two more gophers were taken from the sets. Some of the boys living about here told me that there was an adult and seven young Brushy-tailed Woodrats living in an old cabin about 3/4 mile north of here. Weasels and Skunks were rather rare. The vernacular name for CITES columbaines about here is "Go Down", the same name as the inhabitants of Cuddy Nite called them.
Blanchard placed out 59 mouse traps this p.m.
July 28, 1932
This a.m. I took two gophers from the remaining two sets. Blanchards trap line contained 3 dozen and 8 Microtes. Moved camp early in the a.m. going through Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry up to Meadow Creek. Camped 4 miles west of Meadow Creek at 3000 ft. The Canadian line is about 15 miles north of here by road.
We are situated in a small clearing in a rather wide canyon. Fire and logging has made the fir forest rather open in many places, but 1/2 mile west of here the timber is untouched. Along a small stream running thru the canyon there is a considerable growth of tall grass and raspberry bushes. Did not place out any traps tonight be-cause of yesterdays animals most of which have not been taken care of yet. Gopher workings are very numerous as at the last camp.
