yun & give it three. This yeer they knok off one-third for 

 cash. What doo a buntch of ignerrent ranjers want of signul 

 stashuns & telyfon lines & graided rodes. They ain't put 

 owt there to ride in ottermobeels, or chat with each uther 

 over the wier, or doo fancy wigwagging from signal stashuns. 

 Let them git owt and chop their own trales throo the brush. 



Say, I cood put them kongressmen on plum level grownd 

 in enny of owr Rokky Mountin Starts, set a whisky bottel in 

 fotty (40) yards of them, & they wood be awl day getting to 

 it, over & under & around the down timber. They wood braik 

 their neks in no time on the trales that the Forrist Ranjers 

 have to use regular. The kongresshunal idee of a state pree- 

 serve is a park with sum seement waks in it, but not as 

 menny as the pampered & luxyoorius Ranjers wood like. 

 Why bild speedways for a lot of cheep fire fiters, when good 

 friends of owrs need the munny. 



So far as intylekt goes, the avridge Forrist Ranjer ain't 

 in the same klass with a kongressman. If he was, he wood 

 burn his pantz & never put the fire owt. But he can't be in 

 too (2) plaises at once, nor he can't commoonikate by thot 

 waves with uther Ranjers throo the brodside of a mountin. 

 It's hard to let that milyun loose, but maybe you must.

A study of the forests of Koochiching county is now being 

 carried on by Phil. Allen. The distribution and location of 

 the timber types will be determined. The amount of timber 

 and the rate of growth of the principal species will also be 

 studied. 



A Forest Service telephone line is now under contruction 

 up the Big Fork river to Big Falls and east to the Little Fork 

 river. Fred Kueffner is in charge of the work.
