Supervisor T. C. Spaulding, of the Lewis and Clark National Forest, 

 has resigned his position to take up work as Professor in Forestry at 

 the University of Montana. This gives the Montana School of For- 

 estry three professors devoting full time to Forestry in addition to one 

 engineer and one botanist attached directly to the school. 



Dr. J. R. Weir, Forest Pathologist for Montana and Idaho, is contem- 

 plating what he calls a "Pathological Reconnaissance" in Northern Idaho. 

 The object is to obtain a census of all tree diseases, particularly in rela- 

 tion to the progress of the disease as related to age classes. Small plots 

 will be taken, from which all trees are cut and opened up sufficiently 

 to tell accurately the progress each disease is making with each species. 



Another form of reconnaissance is being tried out on the Flathead 

 National Forest, which is known as a "Fire Survey." The object of 

 this is to secure accurate field data in regard to accessibility, relative 

 hazard, inflammability of the forest cover, and the sufficiency of the fire 

 protective force as now organized. Some very interesting results are 

 expected. Forest Examiner J. B. Summers is in charge of the crew. 



J. D. Lament, a member of the Experiment Station staff in District 1 

 of the Forest Service, was married to Miss Frances T. Carr, of Plainfield, 

 N. J., on August 5 at Missoula, Mont.
