FOREST RANGERS WANTED.
Healthy, Husky Men Desired Who
Can Do Things With Their Hands.

There is no health resort annex to the
forest service, and invalids who are look
ing for light, recuperative work need not
apply That is the gist of an announce
ment issued by the Department of Agri-
culture today in connection with an eX-
animation to be held for forest rangers
in the national forests.
There will be about 400 of these va
cancies scattered through the forest-hold-
ing states of the far west and the Pa
cific coast. Preference will be given TO
residents of the state where the job Is
situated, according to the announcement.
But the chief interest in the statement
is the way it warns invalidS OFF the reser-
walton.
What the forest service wants in the
way of rangers is an aggregation OF
husky individuals who can ride, rope,
shoot build trails. cook. sleep on the
ground. do carpenter work and oulid
log cabin without anything but an AK,
throw the diamond hitch and make
Topographic map. Education will not be
considered an absolute bar to the service
if the applicant can qualify in the other
practical branches. He ought to know
about forest fire-fighting, have working
knowledge of entomology, be able to
write q good report. and in certain of the
forests OF the southwest be able to talk
Spanish. so as to do business with the
Mexicans Added to these other accom-
plishments. he must be a good business
man, and have tact and diplomacy, so as
to be able to handle all classes OF people.
Beginners in the service will be taken at
a wage of S1.1Oo. but they must furnish
their own horses and outfits. This is the
strenuous life end no weaklings need
apply.

these prairies produced 115.000.0oo bushels

After all, the wealth of this region, and
it will be unbounded, will come from the

SASKATOON Canada,
September 26, 1911.
What first impresses a thoughtful tray-
eler on this far-reaching railroad is the
contrast between the facilities offered the
modern homeseeker and those who
started out from Independence, Mo. and
other points on the Big Muddy to seek
their fortunes upon Uncle Sans farms.
They travelled in prairie schooners drawn
by oxen or horses, the women of the
family making themselves as comfort
able as possible under the canvas that
was spread over the bows; there were a
few chickens in a narrow coop dashed TO
the reach and a COW was hitched to the
tailboard. Sometimes the family was
so numerous that some of its members fol-
lowed on horseback like a cavalcade and
often supplemented the scanty rations
by bringing in prairie chickens, antelope
and other game. They slept under the
wagon and made twenty miles between
sleeps. day after day, when there were
no ugly rivers to cross.
The pioneer of northwestern Canada
who goes out to take up homestead or

along the Grand Trunk railway. which
is being rapidly extended across the con-
fertility, travels in an electric lighted
sleeping car, takes his meals a la carte
in a dining car and makes 400 miles
