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 Ravalli. Stage tri-weekly 

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

 which runs across the lake. Stage fare, one way, $3.00, round trip, $5.00. 

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

 Stage leaves Ravalli on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, connecting 

 with the steamer, returning the same day. A daily stage, carrying mail 

 and passengers, runs from Ravalli to Poison via Mission and Ronan. 

 Passengers may thus travel to Poison daily. Both stages start from 

 Ravalli, reaching Poison by different routes. They are under different 

 managements. 



Students via Great Northern will get off at Kalispell, connecting l)y 

 stage with the steamer Klondyke at Demersville, a short distance from 

 Kalispell. The steamer will land passengers at Bigfork. 



The trip either route is full of interest. There are ample hotel 

 accommodations, and the ride is comfortable and easy, with beautiful 

 scenery always in vie'w. 



DATE OF OPENING. 

 The laboratory work of the Station will begin Wednesday, July 11. 

 and continue five weeks, or until Thursday, August 16. For a week 

 or more before the Station opens some one of the staff will be at or 

 near the Station, and will aid any who may choose to work during such 

 time. The laboratory is at the disposal of students from June 15 to 

 September 1, or even later, if any wish to use it. 



BOARD AND ROOM. 



Most of those at the Station, including the staff, live in tents. Day 

 board may be had at $4.50 to $5.00 per week. Many prefer to do their 

 own cooking. The stores supply all the necessaries of life, while the 

 region affords an abundance of fruit and vegetables. Daily mail gives 

 easy communication with the outside world. There is also telephone con- 

 nection. Those who do not wish to live in tents will find suitable accom- 

 modations at $G.00 per week for two or $7.00 for one in a room. 



RECREATION. 



Change is rest. To take a day off and go fishing often gives new 

 lease of life. The tingle of the nerves when the gamey fish tugs at the 

 line is to forget care and to be thoroughly alive. Many will wish to com- 

 bine an outing with study. In fact, one of the attractions of the place is 

 its natural advantages so as to induce out-door exercise and study. The 

 lake and rivers make rowing a good pastime. The photographer has a 

 field of wondrous richness and varied interest. A fine sand beach makes 

 bathing a delight, and it is indulged in. Unless the lake is stirred by
