Hoffmeister 1939 Itinerary Stegswhie Spg, 5150 ft., Columbia & Wash. My trap-line started at the creek opposite the cabin and continued down-stream. The traps were not set at any special distance apart but near the water edge in spots that seemed most likely to be the habitat of Sorex, Microtus, Clethrionomys or/ and Zapus. The traps averaged between 5 and 15 feet apart, continuing down the south side of the stream for 200 yards and then returning to the original spot along the trail 50 feet south of the creek, these traps being at an average distance of 25 feet apart. Caught 9 mammals, 6 in the traps near the stream and 3 along the trail: 3 Clethrionomys gapperi (2? [1 along trail], 1?). 4 Peromyscus maniculatus (2?, 2? [2 along trail and 1 beneath cabin]); and 2 Neotoma cinerea (?, adult and juvenile [both beneath cabin]. The 3 "beneath cabin" taken specimens were caught in a Twice re-set rat trap under the cabin beside which we are camped. William Loughman shot 2 Odocoileus hemionus (?) a few miles from camp, and I helped skin the younger of the 2. This younger buck was in fair condition. Left my traps out during the day & revisited them during the afternoon but had nothing, but about 10 of them were sprung, and I was gone a bird undoubtedly having been caught in it by the number
