These trips will be under the personal supervision of the Director 

 of the Station. Those taking the trips must bear a proportionate share 

 of the expense necessary. Such trips will prove of great value and 

 interest biologically aside from the pleasures they bring. These trips 

 are not for mere pleasure, but for scientific study. Daily conferences are 

 held to report on observations and to make suggestions. 



HOW TO REACH THE STATION. 



Students via Northern Pacific will get off at Selish. Stage tri-weekly 

 runs to Flathead Lake (35) miles), connecting with steamer Klondyke, 

 which runs across the lake. Stage fare, one way, $3.00, I'ound trip, $5.00, 

 trunks extra. Boat fare across the lake, one way, $3.00, round trip, $5.00.
