The letters have be: : turned over
to the postal department and every
effort will be made to arrest the mis

Thorndyke, editor of the weekly
Leader, received a similar missive. A
well known business man also found
one in his mail. It is also said that a
young lady residing in Uniontown re
ceived a series of letters about a year
ago, all of a blackmailing nature.

its entirety.
mount higher. The Government pays
them $1,000 a year at the start.
On the National Forests the Forest
Assistant often acts as adviser to the
Supervisors in charge, who are wes
tern men experienced in afl practical
matters, but usually without school
training in the science of forestry. Of
they may be assigned to the study of
some particular problem which needs
to be investigated in the interest of
good forest management. As forestry
means knowing how to get the most
out of any given piece of forest land,'
it calls for studies and experiments,
both scientific and practical, much like
those which have to be made in the in
terest of good farm management, and
the Forest Assistant is.prepared to do
valuable work along this line. "
There is a growing interest in the
profession of forestry now, and many
young men are asking how to get in
to it and what it promises. Gifford
Pinchot, the Government Forester,
has lately written on this subject:
' "To be ? good forester a man should
combine something of the naturalist
with a good deal of the business man.
To know how to use the forest he
must be able to study it. ,11c must
have, therefore, the power of obser
vation, a fondness for nature, and the
ability to penetrate her secrets. But if
he is to succeed he must also have
good practical judgment and the abil
ity to meet and handle men. He must
be resourceful, able to stand by him
self, willing to undergo the privations
of rough life, and capable of comman
ding the respect of rough men, who
quickly recognize virility and genuine
ness of character, but will not toler
ate pretense of the assumption of su
periority. A forester needs a vigor
ous mind in a vigorous body. He
must be of the kind that likes to get
things done, and does not give up
when things are not going his way. He
will have to face difficulties and work
out problems far from outside help,
relying solely upon himself. He ought
to be hard to whip."
"The professional forester cannot
hope for big fees and certain pleasant
surroundings of life which crown di
tinguished success in some other pro
fessions. The first prizes which are
bestowed upon the great lawyer, the
eminent physician, are not yet open
to him. He must be content without
much luxury, he will have to spend a
good deafof time out of reach of the
ordinary comforts. He must be able
and willing to rough it without com
plaint to sleep on hard beds, eat home
ly fare, endure prolonged exertiorf and
get along with plain people. On the
other hand, if he is at all fitted for his
profession-ami -a few weeks of actual
forest work or good .summer-school
work will tell him whether he is br
not-there is open to him a very rich
reward-life in the open, in the midst
of beautiful, healthful and congenial
surroundings, creative work of un
matched usefulness in any material
field, a place of large responsibility
and dignity, and with it all a fair liv
ing. If the foYestcr's temperament is
scientific he will have the joy of the
discoverer and organizer of know?
ledge in a rich and almost virgin field,
while if it be practical he wilt have
the chance of sharing in a .national
work of prime importance to our peo
ple both now and hereafter.'
