EMPLOYMENT ON FOREST RE-
SERVES.
LeaHet Giving the Organization,
Qualifications, Duties and Salaries.

LeaHet Giving the Organization,
Qualifications, Duties and Salaries.
The bureau of forestry has publish
ed a circular giving information re,
garding employment on the national
forest reserves. This circular ex,
plains how appoint ments to the forest
service on the reserves are made,
states tae salaries of its members, ana
indicates the knowledge and e&.
perience required of rangers ana
supervisors, and the duties each must
perform. The future organization
will include forest supervisors at
$500 10 $2,50o year, deputy forest
supervisors at $1.500 to S1700, forest
rangers at $1,000 to s1,4O0, deputy
forest rangers at $1,000 to $1,l00 ana
assistant forest rangers at $500 to
$500.
The law requires that every ap,
plicant for position in the forest
service pass a civil service examina,
ton. Legal residence in the state or
territory in which employment is de-
sired is generally necessary since only
wlere examinations fail to secure
thoroughly satisfactory men are
vacancies filed by the examination OF
applicants from other states. Ap,
pointments of supervisors are made,
so far as practicable, by promotion or
competent rangers or forest as
sistants.
To be eligible as forest ranger the
applicant must be physically sound, ac-
customed to outdoor work, ana know
how to take care of himself and his
horse in regions remote from settle,
ment and supplies. He must know
something of surveying, estimating
and scaling timber, numbering, ana
the livestock business. Some Of the
reserves require a specialist in one or
more of these lines of work. The
applicant must be thoroughly familiar
with the region in which he seeks en-
ployment. The entire time of rangers
is to be given to the service.
Rangers, under the direction of the
forest supervisor, patrol to prevent
fire and trespass; estimate, survey.
and mark timber, and supervise it's
cutting; issue mining permits, builG
cabins and trails, enforce grazing
restrictions, investigate claims, ana
make arrests for violation of reserve
laws.
Forest supervisors must have ali
the qualifications of rangers, combined
with superior business and q al
ministrative ability. They deal win
the public in all matters connected
with the sale of timber, the control OF
grazing, the issuing of permits, ana
the application of all regulations for
the use and occupancy of forest re-
serves. knowledge of technical for
estry is desirable, but not essential.
Work upon the forest reserves
offers good and increasing opportunity
for men of tine right sort. Requests
for information about the times and
places when and where examinations
will be held should be addressed to
the civil service commission, Wash.
ington.

This Gearing Is seasonabIe.

Washable gloves have become abso-
iutely indispensable to the summer
girl. Not only do they save her hands
from the ravages of the burning sun
without inducing perspiration, but
they are always Immediately clean
and fresh. Each night the pair she
has worn during the day gets its tub
bath in warm soapsuds and is dry
and ready for use the following day.
Fabric gloves, whether in Isle or
linen mesh, are so skillfully woven
now that they have lost all of the
.scratchy feeling which has long been
their Objectionable feature. The girl
who is peculiarly sensitive to this irri-
Ftation will find Isle gloves lined with
the most supple of China silk.
Fashionable shades, such as old
rose and old blue, are lined with cneck
silk or silk embroidered with polka
dots or tiny flowers. Linen mesh
gloves, SO popular during the warm
months last year.. are more than ever
in evidence this summer, and the
stitchings on the back show most
elaborate handwork in self-tone ol
contrasting shade.

FOUND A PIRATE SHIP.
California Man Has Visions of Gold
in the Buried Hulk.


While -excavating for cellar an
eighth of a mile from the shore line at
Larkin cove, Los Angeles, Welcome
Riggs came upon the hulk of an an
cient vessel, supposed to be Span
ish galleon. The anchor, which is bad
ly rust-eaten, is of pattern used a
century or more ago. 1
The sea must have extended much
farther inland at that point at one
time, and the vessel was probably
driven ashore in storm and wrecked
1t is believed that it is the relict of one
of the pirate ships which preyed upon
this coast about 100 years ago.
1t is known that some of these ves-
sells were wrecked upon the shore in
this vicinity, and three of the surviv-
ors of one of the wrecked pirate ships
made their way to San Gabriel mis-
sion and professed repentance.
Mr.. Riggs will excavate the entire
wreck and search for any hidden treas
ure it may contain. The iron portions
of the ship are nearly rusted out, but
the wood is in fair state of preserva
tion.-New York World.
