510 Forestry Quarterly. 



As a technical forester Mr. Price made very substantial contri- 

 butions to the development of American practice, not so much in 

 the form of published writings of his own as through directing the 

 work of others and through the influence which he exerted on the 

 organization of the work of the Government in the field of for- 

 estry. «_»_«»™»._ ■^- ^- ^• 



We record with great regret the loss of Mr. Louis Margolin 

 in the wilds of the Sierra of California in June. He started out 

 from the Dinkey Ranger Station in the Sierra National Forest 

 to get to a camp some 12 miles away, but did not make his ap- 

 pearance. Some weeks later his torn shirt with card case, diary 

 and other papers in the pocket was found in Dinkey Creek, an 

 affluent of Kings' River, along and across which his trail led, leav- 

 ing no doubt as to his unfortunate fate. A thorough search along 

 both rivers has failed to bring his body to light. 



Mr. Margolin held the degree of F. E. from Cornell University, 

 1904, having completed his course at Harvard University. Since 

 1905 he was, with the exception of about a year and a half in 

 private employ, a member of the U. S. Forest Service. At 

 the time of his death he was in charge of the reconnaissance 

 work and working plan activities of the Service in the National 

 Forests of California.
