Forest Rangers.
BY Beverly Page.

Can you throw a diamond hitch
II you can't you are probably some
thing OF tenderfoot, and as such
would undoubtedly be well entertain
ed and very much enlightened II you
could attend one Of the examinations
to be held next Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday in seventeen of the
Western states. These examinations
are for the purpose of finding three
hundred or more men each qualified
to fill position as forest ranger.
National forests are still new In
the United States, and the manage
ment Of their vast resources is a
very difficult task. The business con-
nected with these forests Is transact
ed on the ground. The local officers
consist of Supervisor, having d.
rect charge of all the business and
being located at some nearby town,
and his field force of rangers living
at points thruout the forests. The
national forests are vast estates
worth many millions Of dollars, and
upon the rangers in a large measure
devolve the duties of safeguarding
the most valuable heritage of the
people. At present there are not
half enough rangers to properly pro-
tect the forests, and Uncle Sam is
eager to recruit the little army to its
complete strength. He wants the
hardest and most fearless riders,
the best shots, the quickest and most
accurate lumbermen, and the most
trustworthy young men in the coun-
try.
Applicants should have a fair
knowledge Of readin' and writin' and
'rithmetic, for the forest ranger is
required to scale timber, draw up
make out reports, ETC.,
but the man who is little short on
book learning and away ahead of the
others in throwing a diamond hitch

REAL TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Communication Over Wide Area Nee
essary to Give User Full Value.

Communication Over Wide Area Nee
essary to Give User Full Value.
Telephone service to be of full val
ue to the user must be something
more than local. 1t must offer the
wider area of communication afford
ed by a comprehensive long-distance
system, putting each community into
instant touch with other commune
ties. The telephone user is not get
ting full value for his money unless
he has facilities to reach all portions
of the region in which he lives with
out leaving his Office or house.
Every BUSINESS house and every
person of affairs In the inter-moun-
tain region has learned that local
and long-distance service, as supplied
only by the Rocky Mountain Bell Tel
ephone company, is necessary to best
business results. The 1876 exchanges
of the company cover thoroly all the
larger towns of Idaho, Montana,
Utah. and Wyoming, and the long
distance lines, with their extensive
rural connections, put the towns in
communication with almost every
rural connections, put the towns
settlement and with hundreds of
farms, mines, mills, factories and
camps, thus uniting all parts of the
territory and bringing together all the
different interests and Industries.
This great system, already SO COM
prehensive as to be regarded as a
marvel in the telephone world, is
constantly being extended and i'm
proved, the aim of the company be-
ing to keep ahead of the develop
ment of its territory. AS it was
pioneer In the Industrial field of the
West, SO 1t has sought always to be
a pioneer in opening new regions and
construction and operation. It's pol
icy has been to. own its home when
possible and to its large real estate
holdings in different towns of its
territory it plans to add whenever
practicable and to erect more tele-
phone buildings to handle the bust
ness of the various exchanges.
The company's rates for service
are adjusted from time to time to
meet changed conditions and are al
ways made with the idea of keeping
plant and service in the best posi-
BILE condition at all times, while al
lowing a reasonable profit to those
who have their money invested in
the company's stock. Local service
Is divided into several different class
es, for which different rates are
charged. The idea in this is to pro-
vide for every telephone user SER
vice suited to his needs and the rate
amount of service furnished.
