The Department of the Interior is considering changes to the personnel of the Oregon forest reserves due to the Forest Superintendent’s policy of disbanding the forest force from November until June. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock cites multiple illegal activities on the part of forest rangers and incompetency on the part of supervisors. The personnel change is opposed by Governor Theodore Thurston Geer who has been encouraging Oregon’s Congressional delegation to join in his appeal.
