INTER WORK OF
FOREST RANGERS
Uncle Sam’s Employees Strug
gling to Preserve Woods So in
Future They WiU Not Perish.
Washington. —Out In the snow-piled
reaches of 160 Federal Forest Reserve*
a small army of Forest Rangers, Un
cle S«m> most picturesque employes,
are burning brush, making trail, and
building bridges, In order that timber
for the multifarious uses of posterity
may not perish from the face of the
earth.
Mounted on snow-shoes or skis and
clothed In corduroys and mackinaw,
the Forest Ranger has Mettled down to
his winter's work, far back In the
wooded hills, miles from human com
panionship, with no line of communl
■atlon but the attenuated strand of
telephone wire, which he hlrrißelf has
strung behind him. For the Forest
Ranger is a kind of "hibernating''
animal that works while he hibernates,
with the last danger of destructive
forest fires gone with the arrlva 1 of
the heavy snows, he deserts ills look
out station and devotes his attention
to the work of the winter, the clean
ing up of his range, and the mainte
nance of the trails he has wrought
through the forest.
The first snows start the Ranger
out to burn the brush plies left bv
the logging crews that cut over sale
areas, and free-use timber on his
range. The brush Is left in piles un
til a wet blanket of anow insures
against the starting of forest fires
from the blazing refuse. Then it is
binned with the snow on hand as
nature's own fire extinguisher.
That Bridge.
The Ranger furbishes up his snow
shoes or skis and patches up his hand
or dog sled. Away over on the other
side of his range he knows there 1h a
bridge that spans a mountain torrent,
which needs considerable strengthen
ing to stand the weight which the
break-up of the winter's Ice and the
spring freshets will put upon It. So
he loads a quarter of a ton of bridge
iron on his sled, hitches up his dogs,
shoulders a provision pack and closes
up his log cabin that he calls head
quarters. Me may have to negotiate
a snow choked pass, seven or etgbt
thousand feet In altitude, where the
wet, heavy snow clogs his snow shoes,
and where lie may have to make three
or four trips to haul his Jack over the
crest. When he arrives at his desti
nation he may find his bridge burled
under a ten-foot drift of heavy snow
which he will spend a day penetrat
ing Through delays and heavy trav
eling, he may find his supplies giving
out, and by the rime he has fought
Ills way through a snow storm back
to headquarters he may have been
lunching for days on frozen raw bacon
and sleeping in sodden blankets under
a sheltering tree.
Kept Busy.
Throughout the long winter the
Ranger is kept busy with Just such
Jobs as these. Ten feet of snow may
come down from the mountains and
bury his cabin, and he must dig him
self out and take the trail. And he
must keep everlastingly at it until
spring break up sends him scurrying
to the high points to watch for the curl
nf smoke that foretells the coining of
the forest fire.
Development of the winter work on
the ranges has removed the Forest
Ranger from the “patronage” classifi
cation In government Jobs. Formerly
congressmen were inclined to look on
the Forest Ranger pluco as a desirable
position for some constituent looking
for “light outdoor work." That time
has passed, however, for the forest
Ranger must submit medical certifi
cate showing that he Is ahle-bodled
before he Is appointed. As the forest
service puts it:
"He must be ahle-bodled and capa
ble of enduring hardships and of per
forming severe labor tinder trying con
ditions; able to take care of himself
and his horses In regions rtAnote from
settlement and supplies; and must be
able to build trails and cabins and
pack in provisions without assistance,
lie must know something of survey
ing. estimating and scaling lumber,
and the livestock business; and tn
addition to this he should have a
general knowledge of farming and
mining."

DELUGED WITH LOVE LETTERS
Worcester, Mass. Rev. Frederick
Nicholson, of the First Spiritual church,
today appealed to the chief of police for
"protection against love-sick maidens
and scheming mothers." For weeks,
lip said, his life hae been made unhappy
tft love letters and telephone calls. He
turned over to the police a package of
letters.
Police officials subsequently visited
one home and advised that attentions to
the pastor cease.
Do your Christmas shop
ping early and avoid the
rush. There’s no time like
the present.
It will pay to say “I saw it
in The Herald.”
