FORESTRY DEP ARTMENT
Cant. Bullock Would Have One j
Western Technical Schools.

Special to The Journal.
Deadwood, S. D., May 2S.-Captain Seth
Bullock, supervisor of the Black Hills
forest reserve, is urging the establish
ment of forestry departments in techni-
cal schools Of the west. The object of this
is to prepare western young men for the
vast field that, is being opened in the
management Of the western forest re-
serve. Yale, Princeton and Cornell and
other eastern colleges and universities
carry the course, and at the present time
all the graduates in forestry are being
sent out into the west from these institu-
tions.
Captain Bullock contends that it would
be far more satisfactory if the positions
on the western reserves could be given tc
western young men. He has been en-
sdeavoringrto have the course adopted al
the South Dakota normal in Spearfish and
the school of mines at Rapid City, and ex-
presses the opinion that the Colorado
school of mines at Golden is in an excel
lent position to take UP the course. He
believes that the United States bureau Of
forestry would detail instructors, just as
the government does, where military sci
ence is included in the regular course
The western schools, he says, would have
decided advantage over the eastern in
stitutions for the reason that they afford
opportunity for practical and preliminary
training in forestry, which is not possible
in the east.
The great forest reserves of the govern
mentf all lie i'll the west, and their i'm
portance is being more generally appreci-
ated with each succeeding year. Hereto
fore forest ranges have been selected from
among the western men, at salaries Of
from $50 to $75 a month Now the gov
eminent is sending out head rangers al
salaries of from $125 to $3.50 month, ano
it is noticeable that these positions all
goito the graduate foresters from eastern
colleges. They possess the technical
learning, but the work to which they are
assigned could be accomplished more
satisfactorily by western men if they were
properly equipped. -.--. ~ E.--+ ..s. X
