live down that unwarranted nickname.

rangers requiring that they restrain
themselves from making arrests cx-
cepting in tho most urgent cases.

however, for all rangers to arrest any
one infringing on forest fire laws"
Placards bearing simple fire rules
have been posted thruout all the for
ests in this state, and every other
state, where national forests are To-
Gated. All approaches to national for
ests bear cards of warning concern
ing the fire hazard in districts bound
ed by laws of tho department of agri-
culture.
