Washington. D. c.. Oct. 25.-The
civil service commission has arranged
to conduct examinations today and
tomorrow to fill vacancies in the
ranger force on 149 national forest
reserves in twenty-one states and ter

in their care and men with ability
to serve in supervisory capacities are

sitions are filed by promotion from
lower grades. Only men who are at
least 21 years of age and not more
than 40, temperate and in good ply
sical condition are eligible to the SER

is $500 a year. Much higher salaries
are paid to those holding the more

UPWARD TENDENCY
Of LAND VALUES
MALAGA TRACT WHICH A YEAR
AGO SOLD FOR $17,5OO HAS
QUADRUPLED IN VALUE -
MADE HOMES FOR MANY.

An idea of the general appreciation
of land values in this city will be
learned by the sales that have been
made in the Lockwood tract near NAL
aga. This property a year ago this
spring passed to the control of Walk
er & Widney of this city for $17,5O0.
Ten acres of this was sold Saturday
to D. H. Homer of Southside for $8,-
500. During the season another ten
acres sold for $500 and 221k acres
for $4,000, or the " acres selling
for $25,700.
Walker & Widney have SO acres
of good land in this tract left. This
will be planted in the spring to a
good variety of commercial apples
and will be sold off in ten-acre tracts.
This is simply one illustration in the
Wenatchee valley of the way all land
values have appreciated during the
past several years.

WANT COMFORT
STATIONS
LEO MARCHANT VENTS GRIEV-
ANCE OF MANY RESIDENTS OF
CITY WHO FEEL THE NEEDS OF
BETTER CONVENIENCES.
Wenatchee, Oct. 25, 1909.

To the Editor of the Daily World.
Dear Sir: The influential status of
your paper no doubt will bring great
bearing in venting a grievance felt by
every citizen and visitor to your fast
developing city.
While so much money is being
spent in the formation of good roads
and sidewalks for the comfort of all,
would it not be also a wise policy to
erect few comfort stations for both
sexes, so that these improvements
could be enjoyed and ourselves re-
lieved.
l know of nothing more essential
to the welfare of thriving commun-
ity.
We have no right to enter a hotel
or pool room unless we are paying
guests. If We do so, we are under
obligation. The initial outlay would
not be great. and the upkeep could be
by a small charge to
cover the expenses of attendants.
1t is necessity of so great an i'm
portance that some move should be
made quickly in the matter. If the
powers that be" do not approve, let
us remember that we have a CONNER
cial club eagerly looking forward to
a population of $4,000. Is it much
to expect some forethought and con-
sideration from that enterprising
body. for the comfort of the 5000
now here?
Faithfully yours,
LEO MARCHANT.
