296 Forestry Quarterly 



Royal S. Kellogg, hitherto Secretary of the Northern Hemlock and 

 Hardwood Manufacturers' Association, is now Secretary of the National 

 Lumber Manufacturers' Association, with headquarters at Chicago. 



Harrington Moore has resigned from the Forest Service to devote 

 his entire time to research work in forestry and the allied sciences. Moore 

 graduated from the Yale Forest School in 1908 and has been in the office 

 of Forest Investigations at Washington. 



With John Birkinbine, who succumbed to a protracted illness 

 on May 14, there passed away one of the staunchest, sanest, oldest 

 and most faithful friends the forestry movement in the United 

 States has known. His interest antedates the organization of the 

 American Forestry Association, when as publisher and editor of 

 the Charcoal Iron Workers' Journal he sounded even in the 

 seventies the note of conservatism on economic grounds. He was 

 active in the organization of the Pennsylvania Forestry Associa- 

 tion in 1886, whose secretary he became, then its vice-president, 

 and, in 1862, its permanent president. 



From the very start he became the editor of the Association 

 organ, Forest Leaves, and its constant contributor. His persis- 

 tence was admirable. His interest was not of the amateurish 

 kind, but was inspired by sound economic reasoning, for which 

 his profession as consulting engineer and his wide experience and 

 activities over the whole Union specially fitted him. As chairman 

 of the State Water Supply Commission, he was brought into 

 close relation to the importance of forest influences, and as presi- 

 dent of the Franklin Institute for ten years, he cultivated the 

 scientific spirit in his practical engineering work, as well as in 

 his forestry propaganda. 



Those of us who have worked side by side with him have lost a 

 most valuable friend.
