90 FOREST RESERVE MANUAL. 



the ranger of the Icwer grade warrants such promotion, to 

 the end that good service may lead to better pay. 



Rangers are required to keep one or two saddle horses to 

 enable them to travelreadily about the reserve. Where the 

 conditions are such that the horse is of no service, the super- 

 visor may waive this requirement. Rangers must also pro- 

 vide themselves with a pocket compass, a camp outfit, ax, 

 shovel, and pick or mattock. 



When appointed, they are to report direct to the forest 

 supervisor for duty. 



They may be suspended without pay by the supervisor, 

 superintendent, or inspector for insubordination, improper 

 conduct, or gross neglect of duty. 



The cause of the suspension being established by report 

 from the superior officer, the ranger will be disciplined or 

 dismissed by the Department. 



Rangers will not be allowed to be absent from the reserves, 

 with pay, to obtain supplies, horseshoeing, mail, or for other 

 purposes, for more than four days in any one month; and 

 any absence from the reserve, not exceeding four days, will 

 only be allowed in the discretion of the forest supervisor. 

 The supervisor may also grant leave for a longer period, 

 without pay, when urgent private business, family sickness, 

 or an absolute necessity requires the ranger's absence from 

 , his field of duty; but in no case for more than thirty days, 

 the leave in each such case to be no longer than is necessary 

 for that case. 



The supervisor will report all leaves granted at the end of 

 each month, that the same may be considered in connection 

 with the settlement of the ranger's account. 



The ranger's entire time must be given to the service; he 

 can follow no other occupation, such as keeping store, farm- 

 ing, stock raising, working for cattle and sheep owners, or 

 being in the employ of others and at the same time be a 

 ranger.
