Agent of Government Tests Skill
of WOuId-Be Range Riders

Smith Riley, special land agent and
inspector, was here Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday conducting the exam
ination of eighteen applicants for pu-
sitions as forest range riders. Four
or five were disqualified early in the
examination. On MONDAY morning
the applicants Were subjected to n
paper examination on the three RS.
wherein the requirement is about the
same as the grammer grade in the
schools Perfection in the paper ex
animation amounts to only about 30 per
cent, the main test depending upon
proficiency in field work In The
afternoon the would be rangers gave
exhibitions of their skill on HORSEBACK.
Tuesday was spent in the vicinity of
Bennett $ saw mill, telling trees, cal
culating feet of Timber to the acre.
scaling logs, cording wood, cleaning
up brush and removing refuse, and
many other duties that enter into the
range rider work Part of Wednes-
day was devoted to target shooting
with revolver and rifle, and in sad
ding and packing horses, the crowd
using Voorhees, horses for the purpose.
subsequently the party left for the
neighborhood of Meredith in Pitkin
county, where further practical tests
will be made ON the forest reserve.
No set number of positions to be
awarded was announced before the
examination. Those who pass will
be simply scheduled ON the eligible
list in the order of merit, to be called
upon as vacancies occur. The forest
reserves are now under the care of the
Agricultural Department instead of
the Land Department as formerly,
with respect to the appointment and
regulation of riders and supervisors
These jobs We're formerly secured by
political pull, but are now under the
civil service regulations. so that man
can continue in the service and look
for promotion according to merit,
without regard to his political com
plexion. Applicants are forbidden
to write or say anything in the exam
ination abou. their politics, their re-
ligion or their views on the Darwinian
theory: since forestry has nothing to
do with the tariff or sanctitica,ion,
nor does it make the least difference
whether man descended from monkey,
or monkey from man.
1t hardly need be added that the
applicant must be healthy and robust.
In the assignment to forest work where
all other things are about even, the
man living nearest the reserve needing
a ranger stands the best chance
There is no examination in forestry
laws, since the law is interpreted at
Washington and instructions given
out to officers in the field through
printed circulars, or special letters

BARREL JUMPING.
A LITTLE Trick Connected Herewith
Which It Is Worth a Boys While
to Understand.

Many a boy who is a first rate stand
ing broad jumper will be stumped ut
terly in barrel jumping. 1t is no easy
thing, and. like many sports of the
kind. it requires q "knack' to win at 1t.
We will suppose that several OF your
boy friends can beat you in a standing
broad jump. When you tell these chaps
hat YOU can turn the tables on them
in barrel jumping they will naturally
scott atyouands say: We'll, get your bar
rel, and Wen show you!" Then you get
your barrel.
Make them jump first, They will
climb on the barrel. which lies innocent
~ on it's side. The barrel will roll
and wriggle beneath them, and when
you tell them that a rule OF the game
is that no jumper must stay on the bar
rel more than 80 seconds, n or two
of them will be out of it from the start,
for they will be quite Unable to get
their balance in that time. so they can
get in their favorite jumping position.
The best of them will be able to jump
but a few feet from their ticklish perch.
for the barrel will roll beneath them,
offering no resistance to the backward
