J. A. Free bur who is now in Pleasant Valley on the Tonto forest, may have ample time to take over the work here.
 Nichols has been in charge of the Prescott national forest for nearly five years; and is considered one ot the best rangers in the state Aside from the many friends he has made while in Prescott, he has distinguished himself by his work in the service
 The beautiful and interesting exhi- bit of the forest service at the tair here recently was partly in Ranger Nichols hands. He ably assisted Forest Examiner Edward P. An coma. of Phoenix. in staging and operating the display, which attracted much comment from fair visitors.
 During the forest fires in the Flaastaff district last summer Nichols was sent from the local office here to assist He remained on duty there for week, winning much praise for his effective work with iother forest men,.
