ciated. No Ranger Test This Fall
"No examination for forest
rangers this fall" is the announce
ment of the district forester's office
Portland. The reason given by the
forest service for not holding a civil

fact that there are sill 53 names on
he ranger eligible list for the ttates

October, 1927, examination. The
ranger examinations will, however,
be held in the eastern and some of
the western states, but not in Ore
