GET NEW MEN
IN SOUTHWEST
FOR FORESTS
Ten or Fifteen ForestenS to Be
Added to the Squad With
Headquarters at Albuquer-
que-List of Supervisors.


Ten or fifteen men who will be add
ed TO the forest service in the south
west as the result of reorganization
of this government, will make their
headquarters in Albuquerque. That
city has been selected as one of the
six western cities in which forest ser
vice headquarters will be maintained,
The reorganization Of the service
will take out of Washington all but
the few officers necessary TO conduct
the business there, and the rest will
be distributed at different stations
throughout the west. Albuquerque, as
one of the six division points, thus be-
comes a more important headquarters
than it has BEEN heretofore, the super
vision of the New Mexico and Arizona
forests being done from that city.
Some idea of the Importance of the
service work may be gained when it
is stated that since the work of open
ing lands 10 homesteaders more than
Y, 2,342 acres in the southwest alone
have been opened to and taken up by
settlers.
