There were five hundred and nine Federal patrolmen employed, of which 

 about two hundred were on continuous pay from the date of appointment to 

 the end of the season. They received from $2 to |2.50 a day. Each had a dis- 

 trict to guard varying in area from about 25,000 to 100,000 acres. Without 

 necessarily attempting to cover the whole district he made his rounds of the 

 dangerous places on the most valuable areas at the most advantageous times. 

 The routes he followed varied from ten to forty miles a day, depending on the 

 method of travel, usually on foot, horseback, or bicycle, whichever was the 

 most feasible. Along the railroads, except where oil was burned, there was a 

 special and continuous patrol, in some places on foot and in others on veloci- 

 pede or bicycle.
