on E.0,W. work, Mt he qualiftiation over aM     abov  ths 
of a resarch mum, and if he does not have the" qualfications, 
our little pipedrem ts of no avail, The question is how to 
ftin out,   hy nt adwress a letter to the Forest 8ve  rvsow at 
Laramie? I do not know him, 'ut the hncees ae that an Forest 
Suervisor will be sufficiently hardheadd to rnder a good
