Large Missionary Meeting in
Milwaukee.

On June 18th and 18th was celebrated
in Milwaukee the thirty fifth year of the
work in Wisconsin of the Woman
Auxiliary to the Board of Missions.
This is the great missionary organiza-
ton Of the women Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and is at work
throughout the world.
On Tuesday Of last week a meeting
was held at St. James church, in Mil
waukee, at 2 80 p. M, the short opening
service being conducted by the Right
Reverend Bishop W. W. Webb assis-
ted by the Rector, Rev. DR.. Edwards.
After an address of welcome by the
Bishop the reports of branches were
called for, and they showed active work
in city and country parishes. After
some further business the very short
service closed the meeting and many
adjourned to the adjoining large Parish
House, where the social spirit was
greatly enhanced by light refreshments
daintily served.
At 7:3O Prof. Williamson, organist at
St. Pauls, gave an organ recital at
Plymouth church, and a half hour
later the mystery play, The Little
Pilgrims and The Book Beloved" was
given by the Junior Auxiliary of Mil
waukee. This is an impersonation of
the offices in The Book of Common
Pilgrims from across the sea. Mother
Church calls each Office beginning with
the Morning Prayer, and asks its
meaning. 1t is very instructive and
pretty play or exposition and was we'll
, done, ending with The occasional.
Onward Christian Soldiers, in which
the audience joined. A reception in
the large parlors in the church followed.
On Wednesday morning a number of
Auxiliary members joined in the Cor
porate Communion at s a. m, in All
Saints Cathedral going from there into
a
good breakfast.
In ST. Pauls Parish House there was
an exhibit of missionary literature, and
at 1890 in the adjoining church was
held the anniversary service The fine
choir furnished the music, and sang a
magnificent offertory. (Their choir
master, Professor Williamson, opened"
the organ in Trinity Church Mineral
Point few years ago. The sermon
was an inspiring one by Bishop Nc
Cormack of Western Michigan. Dur
ing the offertory the name of each
branch was called, and its representa-
tive walked to the litany desk and laid
her offering on the aims basin on a
table just beyond; after which the
regular offering was taken, as usual.
Later it was found that the sum ex
ceeded $3.50 which goes to a much
needed hospital in Sagada. P. 1.

EARNINGS FELL OFF
While Railway Operating
Expenses Increased.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-During the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1871, the
operating revenues CT the railroads Of
the United States declined an average
of SO mile for the year. while op-
Grating expenses increased an average
of $236 mile. Increase in taxes and
decrease in net revenue from outside
operations resulted in a decrease in
operating income Of an average Of
$}1S mile for the year This is
equivalent to a decrease in net income
of the total mileage of the United
States approximating s75,O0o00O, or
about 25 per cent. of the net dividends
paid for the preceding fiscal year
The operating revenues were six
tenths of per cent. a mile lower than
for the fiscal year 1910, while the op
Grating expenses were nearly 3 per
cent. higher and were the highest on
record. This increase in operating
expenses is notwithstanding the rigid
economies that were begun in Febru
ary, the retrenchment in labor force
and the cutting down of maintenance
expenses. The above statement is
made by the bureau of railway eco
Monies and is based upon the official
reports filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

ASSISTANT FOREST
RANGERS WANTED
Examinations to Be Held in
Octoher-Must Be an All
Round Handy Man.
palladium Specially

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. 3
The Civil Service Commission will
hold an examination for Assistant For
est Ranger on October 1924, 1911. The
Y. S. Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that 400 eligibles will be need
ed during the field season of 1912.
Assistant Forest Rangers are paid an
entrance salary of $1,100 per annum.
The examination will be held at Ma
tional Forest headquarters in Alaska,
Arizona, Arkansas, California, COlOra-
do, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mex
leo, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota.
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. No
examination will be held in Michigan.
The law requires that, when practi-
cable, Forest Rangers must be quail
fled citizens of the state or territory
in which the national forest on which
they are appointed is situated. Since
the lost of local eligibles must be ex-
hausted before eligibles residing in
other states can be appointed, the
chance of citizens of outside states
who so to the national forest states
and take examination to secure an APP
pointment is small.
The requirements and duties of For
est Rangers are thus described in
THE Use Book" which contains the
regulations and instructions for the
use of the national forests:
"A ranger of any grade must be
thoroughly sound and able-bodied, ca
pable of enduring hardships and per-
forming severe labor under trying con-
ditions. He must be able to take care
remote from settlement and supplies.
He must be able to build trails and
cabins, ride, pack, and deal tactfully
with all classes of people. He must
know something of land surveying, es-
timating and scaling timber, logging,
land laws, mining, and the livestock
business.
'On some forests the ranger must
be a specialist in one or more of
these lines of work. Thorough famili-
arity with the region in which he
seeks employment, including its geo.
sraphy and it's forest and industrial
conditions, is usually demanded, al
though lack of this may be supplied
by experience in similar regious.
The examination of applicants is
along the practical lines indicated
above, and actual demonstration, by
performance, is required. Invalids
seeking light Out-of-door employment
need not apply. Experience, not book
education, is sought, although ability
to make simple maps and write intelli
gent reports upon ordinary forest
business is essential
For duty in some parts of Arizona
and New Mexico the ranger must
know enough Spanish to conduct for
est business with Mexicans.
Where saddle horses or pack
horses are necessary in the perfor-
nance Of their duty, rangers are re-
CURED to own and maintain them.
The Forest Service furnishes no por-
sonal Or horse equipment.
Rangers execute the work Of the
national forests under the direction
of supervisors. Their duties include
patrol to prevent fire and trespass,
estimating, surveying, and marketing

compromise with the traction COM
pany on this basis.
Board Was Willing.
The commissioners indicated their
Willingness to accept such a PROPOSE
ton If proposed by the traction com
pany. whereupon the committee began
negotiations with the traction com
pany which continued for several
weeks before anything definite was
agreed to by them The company
agreed to move to the forty foot line
as proposed. but required that the
township build the wing walls to the
bridges and furnish the necessary
space to make the fills, also that ar
rangements be made for the removal
OF trees. The committee made salts
factory arrangements about the trees
with the owners, consulted with the
engineer, Mr.. Charles, and secured an
estimate on the cost of wing walls and
cost of necessary space for fills. 1t
was estimated that the cost would be
approximately $500. After consider
traction company the company agreed
to pay $500 toward the expense. At
this juncture the president increased
the committee to thirty, who were to
present the compromise to the COM
missioners. which was done on Satur
day, September 9th.
The commissioners thought the
ho f0r nd
had Mr.. Charles make an accurate es-
innate which showed that the ex-
pense would probably be $3.50 The
commissioners therefore informed the
committee that if the traction company
would pay $3.50 they would accept
The committee reopened negotiations
with the traction company which final
ly agreed to pay this amount. The
agreement was signed by both parties
and the controversy is thus ended.
In view of the decision of the Wayne
Circuit Court and the long delay GER
tain in getting a ruling by the SUI
preme Court, we believe that the
county commissioners acted wisely in
accepting this compromise. We be-
lieve that they have been earnestly
endeavOring to get the best possible
arrangement for the township and in
view of the unfavorable decision of
the court. the compromise effected is
a good one as t. company has made
concessions that are more favorable
to the township than had been pro-
posed by them .before the trial. The
road can now be speedily completed
and the very embarrassing and annoy
ing situation be relieved. AS to the
traction company's course in the mat
ter the committee can only say that so
far as negotiations with the commit
tee are concerned, they have been fair
and businesslike. The committee had
no part in the matter prior to the
court trial, and will therefore not at
tempt to reconcile the many conflict
ing reports concerning the contro-
versy.
