Forest Supervisors Meet.

Denver.—Blizzards, biting winds of seventy-five miles an hour velocity, snowdrifts, impassable trails did not keep away from Denver the forest supervisors of the Denver district. They commenced their annual conference in Denver Monday. Every branch of the service is to be discussed. Fire protection, highways, organization, the establishment of parks and recreation areas, game sanctuaries and other phases of the work are the subject of speeches and informal talks. L. E. Cooper's experience shows that no obstacles can keep a supervisor away from these meetings. He is one of sixty here at the conference and he hails from Pinedale, Wyo., a village 110 miles from a railroad. It took him two days and one night to get to the Union Pacific. His wife and children were with him in an automobile and the party was preceded by a 7,000-pound truck to open the road. It was perilous work, however, for the truck and car had to be dug out of the deep snow many times. Smith Riley, district forester, is presiding at the conference.
