PMSONAL EXPERIENCES ARE EXCHANGED Mr. Hartruiri Tells Hungers of New Duties Tlicy Must Assume In Community Uplift Much Was Learned. District Supervisor S. C. Bar trum, of the Umpqua National For est, gave a banquet to' the forest rangers under his charge who have been here the past two days on their annual visit for instructions to the headquarters in this city. The , ibuss.. u..uc. ... v.,.e .... trum were F Ames; assistant been here the past two days on,,,,,. , . t, . affair was held .'in the dining room of the Umpqua hotel,-and lasted, fom 7:30 untl 11 p. m, I was at-1 tended by all the rangers of the dis-, trict. besides several Invited guests from Roseburg and outside of the cltJr' ' As usual mine host Weaver of the ; Umpqua proved himself equal to the occasion, and a most suniptous course dinner was served without a flaw, and the good things were en joyed by every one present. When the fragrant Habanas were passed and lighted, Mr. Bnrtrnm, acting as ; toast master, called for some ex- j perience talks from the men whose: business, It is to do the actual work and supervision over the vast ex panse of forests embraced in' -the! domain of the Umpqua National Forest, the largest, so the nnlnform-l cd were told,' in the United States.! During more than two hours of' unconventional talks and addresses the listeners were entertained with ; stories of the woods, the hills and the mountains, from the lips of men j whose lire is psssea among inem. Game Wardens Thompson and and new ideas were gained by some gykes and as u was plalllly Evident -who listened,' as to the character , that they had bpen froshIy kllle(Ii and calibre, and fitness of the men I thfl wardena j,nmodlBlely swore out In this department of -government a con)plalnt. 0n account of busi work. Every man present was call-1 nesB condiUons lt waa very nard for ed upon, and the experiences relat- Mf Kn,p) ,0 come t0 Roseburg at ed ranged through the humorous, the ,he ,Hme ,hat tne warrant was 80rv. educational anu me uangerous. -was told how trails were blazed, ; fires discovered and handled, how , government timber was brought down from the tops of mountains, and of the many ways In which the little end of a piece of timber can be told. j T. A. Raffety made an excellent talk in which he showed the value ; the forest service had been to him in his official capacity as a mem- ber of the fish snd game depart ment in various parts of the Btate, and D. B. Bubar, president of the Douglas County Sportsmens League, I gave his experience in various states on the manner of game protection ' -where it was without assistance from the Forest Service, both gentlemen Tounding off their remarks with nil appropriate story. After all had spoken, Mr. Bar- trum said he desired to speak of some things which had not been taken up at the day meeting, and: an old pioneer of this state and a called attention to the duties of Fro- brother of Henry Conn, of Melrose, est Rangers as they were yesterday. ' passed away at his home In Callfor as they are today and as they wll?, nla yesterday. Mr. Conn was a na bs tomorrow, In the figurative sense tlve In Ohio coming to Oregon In of the past, present and future. The ranger of yesterday, by which he' meant the earlier days of service, had duties different from those of today who are entering upon a new era. He urged the rangers present to impress this firmly upon their minds, and upon those under them in the capacity of guards.' They were to assume a higher station in their respective communities, and' take part In that social and mental uplift which is now exerting such a powerful Influence over the land, They,, should o familiarize them selves with the needs of the sections under their immediate control, that involuntarily they will be turned to for advice and suggestions when mat. ters pertaining to It come up, and Information Is asked. SpeJking of the co-operation of this service with the fish and gamej departments, he showed where the ! advice of these men in planting fish ' rye and caring for game was ines timable, for they were better In formed as to the habits of both fish and game than any one else. Mr. Bartruni demonstrated In his care u' address the desire of tkedepart- j nient to Increase the efficiency of the men engaged In this service, so that the greatest amount of good would be given the state and com munity "71 which they move, and the earnestness and attention given his remarks showed the devotion of the men to their chief and the work in which they are engaged.' The Umpqua National Forest stands high in the regard of the head officials in the National capi- tal, and under the supervision of its -.ompetcnr head, Mr. Bartrum.'is second to none in efficiency, and this can be accounted for when one con siders the quality and calibre of the men In official and active charge, as. shown at this annual getting to gether last night.
