Lyndonville Driving Club.

The Lyndonville Journal says: In
addition to the local horses expected
at the matinees, are some fast ones
from out of town that have not been
mentioned before. Harding of Barton
will be here with Highbsu and DIR.
Gains of Newport has tsotter that he
will bring down for some of the races.
With all the horses now in sight and
all the others that arcyexpected later,
the chances are good for some exciting
matinees this winter and it is possible
that the track record made three years
ago by Ruggles' C. E. R. may be bet
tered this year. The matinees will
start just as soon as the snow comes
and the track is put in shape. There
will be one en- New Years day if
possible. No one wishing to take part
need be bashfui about coming out with
their horses as there will be classes to
match any horse, fast medium or SLOW.

FOR
FOREST RANGERS
Will Be Held at Standpoint and Couer
dAlene the 2lst and 22nd
Of October
SALARY IS $1,000 YEARLY
Government Does Not Guarantee Year.
long Employment

ne OnllSQ SldlcS civil ScINlCc
commission announces an examina-
ton for assistant forest rangers on
October u and %. In field dis
trict No. l of the forest service the
examination will be held in Idaho
at Occur d'Alene, Grangeville,
Kooskia, Orofno, Standpoint, and
St. Maries in Montana at Anacon-
da, Billings, Bozeman, Choteau,
Dillon, Great Falls, Helena, Kalis-
pell, Libby, Livingston, Miles City,
Missoula, Sheridan, and Thompson
Falls; and in South Dakota at
Camp Crook.
Candidates must be able bodied
men between the ages of p and 40,
capable of enduring all the hard
ships of outdoor life. A medical
certificate to this effect is required
The examination consists of two
parts, field test and the answer
ing of practical questions. The
latter relate to land surveying,
timber estimating, and numbering,
land laws, mining, and the live
stock business. Practical expert
ence and general intelligence, as
shown by ability to write with
reasonable clearness of expression,
are the main requirements. APP
plicants must be residents of the
state i'll which they seek employ
ment and should be familiar with
local industrial conditions and
topography.
From the list of successful candi-
dates, the government selects new
men for the forest service, who are
appointed as assistant forest rangers
at $1100 yearly salary. They are
eligible to promotion later to higher
grades, including vacancies in the
position of deputy supervisor and
supervisors.
These field men rangers and
assistant rangers transact t h c
business of the national forests
under the direction of the super
visors. They conduct the govern
ment's grazing business, handle
small timber sales. build roads,
trails, telephone lines, and cabins,
fight forest fires, and estimate
timber.
When necessary the ranger must
own and maintain his own saddle
and pack animals. Rangers per-
manently assigned to a forest are
provided with headquarters con-
sisting of cabins, barns, and sheds
and with some agricultural land to
grow food for their families and
domestic animals.
The government in announcing
the present examination calls at
tention to the fact that appoint
ment in the forest service does not
guarantee yearlong employment,
since it is necessary to furlough a
| number of rangers during the
| winter months when their services
are not needed on the forests
Preference is given, however, tc
furloughed employees whose ser
vices are satisfactory in recruiting
the force at the beginning of I
field season.
Applicants can secure informa
concerning the examination from
the U. S. civil service commission
| Washington, d. c., or from fores
supervisors, at the places named.
