AMERICAN FORESTRY 



Percy Burchill, of Nelson, N. B., a mem- 

 ber of the lumbering firm of Burchill & 

 Son, and a graduate in forestry of the 

 class of 1910, U. N. B., was married on 

 January 26, at St. John, N. B., to Miss 

 Gene Garden, a graduate of the same in- 

 stitution. 



B. M. Winegar, of the C. P. R. Forestry 

 staff, was in Fredericton on March 2, hav- 

 ing a conference regarding fire patrol on 

 their lines with Colonel Loggie, provincial 

 forester, P. Z. Caverhill, and John Mc- 

 Gibbon, chief fire warden for New Bruns- 

 wick. 



As part of the spring field work along 

 construction lines, it is proposed to build 

 a telephone line to the camp, a distance of 

 about three miles, and also to construct 

 some trails and possibly some lookout sta- 

 tions on the college lands. Besides giving 

 the students some very practical experi- 

 ence, the proposed improvements will 

 have considerable value in fire protection. 



W. W. Gleason, formerly with Wyman's 

 School of the Woods, Munising, Mich., is 

 now a special agent for the St. George 

 Pulp and Paper Company, at St. George, 

 N. B.
