NEWS NOTES. 

 John Clump, 25 years old, employed 

 by H. F. A. Lange, Worcester, Mass., 

 fell through the root' of a greenhouse 

 while making repairs on January 31. 

 He was taken to the Emergency Hos- 

 pital. 



Park Commissioner Ginther of Buf- 

 falo, N. Y., asks for an appropriation 

 of $10,000 for a new plant propagating 

 house in Humboldt Park, and $0000 

 more for repairs on park conservator- 

 ies to meet the necessary demand for 

 plants for the small parks, triangles, 

 etc. 



The study of the structural timbers 

 of the Pacific coast was begun by the 

 Bureau of Forestry, now the Forestry 

 Service, in 1902, in order to determine 

 with greater accuracy the exact scope of 

 their commercial use. The red fir and 

 the western hemlock (better K town as 

 Washington pine, Alaska pine or gray 

 fir) have hitherto monopolize 1 the 

 tests with the results that there has 

 been a largely increased demand for 

 both. About a year ago the Forest 

 Service issued a circular, "Progress 

 Report on the Strength of Structural 

 Timber," which has been exhausted by 

 the request made for it. A revised edi- 

 tion is now in preparation.
