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."
