woods of Minnesota; they were not
even the biggest ones.
"It is certainly time to start some
thing and very good thing to start
would be young TIMBER but more
important than this is the protec-
ton of the young timber already
started.
Lightning Starts Some.
"Some fires originate from light
ming, and no doubt many earlier
forest fires started in this way
Careless hunters and fishermen leave
camp fires unextinguished; settlers
clearing land and lumber companies
through their slashings bring about
many fires and one of the commonest
sources of danger to the forests is
the fires which start along the rail
road right of way.
How He Will Prevent Them.
'To prevent fires, it is going to be
necessary to have a force OF patrol
men in the woods and along the rail
roads. The settlers clearing fires
and the lumbermens slash burning
must be controlled.
The campers, hunters and fisher
men need to be educated to proper
respect for fire and thesslaw. The
railroad companies, must be compelled
to use spark arresters, and to Keep
their rights of way clean. Under
the old law, local town officers were
made fire wardens but their duties
in this regard were merely incident
al. There was no force of men
looking out for fires as their princi-
pal job.
Hard Work for Employees.
"Under the new law we are going
to have 20 or rs rangers each of
which will have a large fire district
to look after. Under these rangers
there will be force of patrolmen.
A patrolman district may be one
township or it may be three of four,
depending upon the fire risk. His
duties will call for strength and en-
durance and especially for exper-
fence in woods work. He will have to
hit the trail with his pack on his
back and many time there will be
trail will ho oo11o1 ~
use axe and shovel and hoe in fight
ing fires, to find his own way, keep
his bearings in the forest, to chop
trails and clean out portages and
build lookout towers and be on the
job every minute of his time. The
rangers will see to it that he is.
Personally | take seriously the task
of protecting the forests of the state.
'Dubs" Will Be Dropped.
"A number of first class men have
been recommended to me by people
from different parts Of the state; a
still greater number have applied to
me on their own account, but the
large number Of inexperienced young
men who have applied for positions
in the service, and the equally large
number of merely good fellows who
have been recommended by various
people, prompts me to say, that
every inefficient man on the patrol
or ranger force is not only worthless
but is positive injury to the Or
ganization and a danger to the
woods and settlements. Just as
soon as we find man who is worth
less or inefficient he is going out"

Freak" schools were the subject recently of an article in provincial paper. and W are confident that few of our readers will have heard of some of these very odd educational establishments. It appears that in Belgium before qualifying for a post as sexton one must pass an eXamina- ton in a school of gravediggers, while in Paris there is school for judges, where make believe trials are carried out in detail before lawyers of re- pute.
 Russia has a school for policemen, which it is, we believe. the pet ambi- ton of the young and aspiring burglar to join. In an adjoining museum the pupils make themselves familiar with iimmies, drills chisels and other tools used by professional thieves"
