Hardships of Fsderal Foresters

Washington, Dec Out in the
snow-piled reaches of 100 federal
forest reserves a small army of fores.
rangers, Uncle Sans most pictur-
asque employees are burning brush,
making trail and building bridges, in
order that timber for the multifarious
uses OF posterity may not perish from
the face of the earth.
Mounted on snowshoes or skis, and
clothed in corduroys aud mackinaw,
the forest ranger has settled down to
his winters work far back in the
wooded hills, miles from human COM
panionship, with no line of communi-
cation but the attentuated strand of
telephone wire, which he himself has
strung behind him.
The first SHOWS start the ranger
out to burn the brush piles left by the
logging crews that cut over sale areas,
and free-use timber on his range The
brush is left in piles until a wet
blanket of snow insures against the
starting of forest fires from the
blazing refuse. Then it is burned
with the snow on hand as Natures
own fire eXtinguisher.
Pulls Quarter OF Ton On SIedge.
The ranger furnishes up his snow
shoes or skis an dpatches up his hand,
or dog sled. On the other side of mis-
range he knows there is a bridge tina.
spans mountain torrent, which needs
considerable Strengthening to stand
the weight which the break UP of the
winters ice and the spring freshe.s
will put upon it. So he loads a quar-
ter OF a ton of bridge iron on his sled,
aitches up his dogs, shoulders a pro-
vision pack and closes up the log
cabin that he calls headquarters.
He may have to negotiate snow
choked pass, seven or eight thousand
feet in altitude, where the wet heavy
snow clogs his snow shoes, and where
he may have to make three or four
trips to haul his pack over the crest.
When he arrives at his destination he
may find his bridges buried under a
lO-foot drift of heavy sntw which he
will spend a day penetrating. Through
delays and heavy travelling, he nav
find his supplies giving out He may
have TO go for DAYS On frozen raw
bacon, and sleep in sodden blankets
under sheltering tree.
No Longer 4 Soft Job.
Development of the winter work on
the ranger has removed the forest
ranger from the patronage" classif-
cation in government jobs. Formerly
congressman were inclined to look on
the forest ranger place as a desirable
position for some constituent looking
for light outdoor work" That time
has passed, however, for forest ram
ger must submit medical certificate
showing that he is able-bodied before
he is appointed.
