Alberta rangers, J. A. Hutchison, of the 

 Brazeau Forest staff, is also leaving, and 

 it is his intention to join the aviation ser- 

 vice. Forest Assistant Macdonald of the 

 Bow River has also completed his Officer's 

 Training Course, although up to the pres- 

 ent time he has not yet been assigned to 

 a battalion. 



Aside from the above changes there has 

 been little change in the personnel arrange- 

 ments at the Alberta branch, with the ex- 

 ception that Mr. R. C. St. Clair, formerly 

 with the C. P. R. Forestry Branch, has been 

 employed by the Branch and is assigned 

 as Forest Assistant on the Crowsnest For- 

 est. Forest Assistant Manning, who, up 

 until this spring, was on the Clearwater 

 Forest, has been transferred to the Alberta 

 office at Calgary and will conduct special 

 lines of work essentially in connection 

 with timber sale and timber permit 

 administration. 



Fire-fighting Combination 



A new fire-fighting tool has been invented 

 by a forest ranger in California which con- 

 sists of an interchangeable hoe and rake. 

 It is said to be the best tool of the sort 

 yet devised. 



Osage Orange for Dyes 



The use of Osage orange for making dyes 

 promises to be extensive. The Forest Prod- 

 ucts Laboratory is making a census which 

 shows that the supply of the wood is more 

 than ample to meet present needs.

 Handbook 



I want to send a copy of my 

 "Sportsman's Handbook" and catalog 

 to every one who loves the Big Out- 

 doors. It is the most complete 



Sporting Goods Catalog 



I have ever written. It not only illus- 

 trates and describes hundreds of arti- 

 cles for the Camper, Fisherman, Hunter 

 and Forester, but tells of my experience 

 in the "wilds." There are pictures of 

 birds and animals, and advice as to 

 pitching a tent, care of firearms, pre- 

 paring skins for the taxidermist, etc. 



Camping, Fishing, Hunting 



There are chapters on where to Camp, Fish. 

 and Hunt; what to take, what to wear, and 

 .many "kinks" in wildcraft.
