winds the water is warm. The hills and forests afford quiet retreats for 

 study or strolls. The hills and roads give glimpses of scenery of rare 

 beauty. At the proper season hunting is good. Deer have been seen 

 annually a few rods from the laboratory. Grouse and pheasants abound 

 in the hills. In season duck shooting is fine. A day's tramp will take 

 one to the home of the Rocky Mountain goat. In a day one may pene- 

 trate a pathless forest or stand on craggy heights, where the view pre- 

 sents the jagged Rockies, the backbone of the continent.

LIFE AT THE STATION. 



There is a freedom of living which makes life pleasant for those at- 

 tending. Out-door clothing is worn by all. A canvas suit with plenty of 

 pockets is suitable for men, with a business suit for occasions. For moun- 

 tain trips a suit of woolen underwear is desirable, and a sweater will 

 come handy. For tramps in the woods, climbing mountains, or walking 

 the rocky beach, a pair of heavy soled and hob-nailed shoes are a ne- 

 cessity. As most of the Station work is out of doors and of the rough 

 and ready nature, good clothes are an encumbrance. The freedom from 

 conventional dress makes Station life more helpful and desirable. A good 

 bathing suit will be found serviceable. 



BAGGAGE. 



Avoid trunks. Pack outfits in rolls, covered by canvas, fastened by 

 large and strong straps or ropes. Hand baggage of any kind is not 

 troublesome. Heavy weight of books is unnecessary. For those who 

 live in tents, as most persons prefer to do, a tent is necessary. This 

 will make a small roll, and for ordinary miner's or wall tents poles are 

 not necessary. They may be cut after arrival. 



Those who sleep in tents must remember the nights are always cool. 

 A cheap tick, ready to be filled, and two comforts or heavy blankets over, 

 with whatever is desired under the individual, are necessary. These can 

 be purchased after arrival, if this is desired, and at reasonable rate. 

 In place of the preceding a sleeping bag is a luxury.
