By 

 Arbert R. 



The Hanger on tho Tahoe, in the Winder has a snap. 



He has nothing to do "but wcrk t ill hiking time cames back, 

 Uhen the season's fires are ever, full of Jjy he cemes to ' 

 He's maybe g;t the notion that he T a going to lay arsund, 

 But the 3oes t too, has a "Ilotisn" :nd it'u mixed with plenty 



tact. 

 Per he grips &ur hands with pleasure; aays "I'm glad to see 



you back. 

 We've had a dandy season, and it's tine to take a rest, 



"Je t re going to plant some seedlings ~ fifteen thousand at 



the best. 







Tho Job will soon be finished, so Just to fill cut tine. 



We^ll sgw two hundred acres with tho seed of Jeffrey ine. 

 Cf course we'll let all trail work lay 'over till tho Sh 



If it reins TTD'}! make out estimates, reports, rnd other 



1 things , 

 Az;d do F. little mapping, r.nd straighten up our files, 



Also figure en a trail that will save us many miles. 

 And since the phone last season, proved Just to be UKS THIITG , 



Y.'c'LI' bull! a line to Blocmfiold between new and tho Spring. 



It'o only fourteen miles, and of course we'll cut the poles, 



And cut tho brush along the way, and als dig the holes; 

 Vi'o'll stretch the wire, install the phone, end thus cut down 



expense , 



And then, by way <of resting, we f re ^oins * build a fonco, 

 7or cur seedlings need protection from the sheep, tho Ctfir, 



and horse. 



And then in stormy weather, ( /hen we can't jet out, Of oours) 

 77e can atucy up on Erasing, Silviculture, an*?, the like, 



To polish up our 'Thinker 1 before we have to hiko n . 



So the Ranger on the Tnhoo has nothing to do but work, 



But you can't hear any kicking, and nc one tries te shirk, 

 ?cr we've got to koep on huatling if we finish up by Spring. 



You can bet your bnd;ro we '11 'be there with every singlethJbig.. 

 We're a happy bunch of Hangers, and when we have to part, 



T^o'll have :. friendly feeling for oach ether in wur heart. 

 And vro'll start our Summer's duties with a great deal keener 



zest, 



Then if we hadn't hustled to get a "'/inter' 8 rest.
