O, May 11 (Spe cial, to -.The,. Statesman). Because of the extreme ! frequency of the forest fires throughout Oregon and other, tim bered states of the Northwest, special effort; will be put forth by the forest service of, the department ox agricul ture this year to obviate the great -destruction to the wealth of these states. To this end, it is j the purpose of the service to employ an increased number of forest guards, who will be distrib uted at - more frequent - intervals over the .forests of the states, thus keeping in closer, toueb with conditions and be ing . in greater readiness to begin , the fighting of any fires that may arise. " - The . . destruction of this source - of wealth to .the statea of the northwest has been on the increase -. during the past . deeade ; and has assumed such enormous r proportions . that the forest service ha been obliged to take cog nizance of.it and. make greater and special effort to combat it. t The forest service has . been trans ferred from the department of the in terior to the department of agriculture by. act of Congress in December, and it is expected that it will be made a great deal more efficient than in the past. v One of the immediate benefits of this transfer comes in the shape of placing ! the service under the rules of the civil service, thus giving to it a better and more capable class of officials. Under the new regime, the service has been divided into;, five departments, the for ester, forest ' inspector, forest super visor,. forest assistant and forest rang er, and, during the season of fires, tern- porary guards are also provided for; The forester has .general supervision over the .. entire, work , of the service and is amenable only, to the secretary of the department oi agriculture. ' The forest inspector is assigned to the in spection pf forest reserves or in other branches or the work. Supervisors are appointed " b$ - promotion - from . forest rangers or assistants, each being as signed to the charge of "one or more re serves at a .'salary "of from $1,000 to $2,000 a year. Forest assistants are appointed., only by; eompetitive exam inations and receive a. salary . of from $900 to $1,400 year. Eangers are appointed by competitive examinations only and are assigned, to police and pa trol duty upon forest reserves and to. a conduct of the business of the reserves under the direction of the supervisor. Rangers receive ' from $60 to " $90 a month. ' The ranger has a deputy and an assistant. -- - i - Only legal residents of a state, be tween, the ages of, 21 and 40 "years,. are eligible for, examination and appoint ments in their own states. The exam inations are along practical lines and include tests in the actual performance of field work. The-restriction as to res idence is not imposed, upon applicants for the forest assistant examinations, for which the age limit is 20 years or over. - ' . '. WOMINO HAS SNOW STORM.
