THE FOREST RESERVES.

The Work Of Supervisors and Rangers
Productive OF Much Good.
When the forestry reserve super
visors and rangers were appointed
last summer few of our people had
any real idea Of the scope of their
work and what they were expected
to accomplish, but the result of their
efforts has been highly gratifying.
Since they began their duties in the
early part Of last August not single
forest fire has occurred within the
limits of the reserves, while many
that had just started were promptly
suppressed before they secured head
way. Some fires have occurred out
side Of the reserves that have been
extinguished by the rangers. In ad-
dition to this, the rangers have cut
new trails all along through the
timber and up the mountains, re-
moving and burning or destroying
brush, debris, etc, thus eliminating
danger from fires in future seasons
and making it more practicable to
get at those that may occur. In ad-
dition to the other results Of the
establishment Of the force it may be
stated that not single instance OF
timber depreciation has occurred dur
ing The time it has been in the field,
something that was unknown before
Again, the rangers are charged with
the duty Of seeing that the game and
fish laws Of the state are enforced
and Of promptly reporting any VIOLA
tion Of the same, and this, also, has
had its effect. The public are be-
ginning to appreciate the work done
by these men, and to their credit, be
it said, settlers and prospcctors on
and near the different reserves have
shown a readiness and willingness
to cooperate in the preservation Of
our forests. In this reserve Mr.
Weber, the supervisor, and the force
of RINGERS under him have kept their
portion Of the work up we'll, and
their efforts have been productive of
much good.
