July 13, 1934: “Lookout Trub on Three Brothers and Kuntz on Mission Peak reported a small smoke in the head of Schaser Creek Tuesday evening. A crew of CCC boys were called out headed by A.K. Pilgeram and Fremont McComb. After a thorough investigation the smoke was decided to be sheep dust.” (The Leavenworth Echo)
August 10, 1934: “Marooned on Three Brothers lookout, Ernest E. Trub told us last week of his witnessing through field glasses two mountaineers making the ascent of Mount Stuart, 9470 feet above sea level and the highest point on the forest. For two afternoons these pigmies toiled up the steep cliffs and glaciers apparently on the wrong location for making the ascent. Mr. Trub did not believe the men reached the top. Only a lookout can appreciate how humanly interesting witnessing such an incident can be.” (The Leavenworth Echo)

August 29, 1934: Ernest Trub, lookout on Three Brothers, also had troubles to tell Anderson. He had been raided from the air. Trub had cached his bacon supply in a snowbank near the look-out station and had watched it fade away into the distance—in the claws of a huge eagle.” (The Wenatchee Daily World)
July 17, 1937: “Mr. and Mrs. Russell Lee, Miss Ethel Bersing, and Louis Wagoner hiked to Three Brothers lookout station Sunday to spend the day with Everett Wagoner.” (The Wenatchee Daily World)
