JOURNAL OF ANNUAL MEETING, I906. 497 



The motion was luimerously seconded and being voted upon pre- 

 vailed unanimously. 



Mr. A. J. Philips (Wis): Mr. Chairman: I want to heartily 

 endorse that action with reference to my friend and your friend, 

 Mr. Yahnke. On my way up here I stopped with him last Sunday 

 and found he was sick in bed and could not come. I was very glad 

 to find him as well as he was. Everywhere people are inquiring as 

 to his condition. - I am very much gratified at the action of the 

 society in thus honoring Mr. Yahnke. I want to say the same for 

 my friend Kellogg and for Mr. Gardner. I am not so well acquainted 

 with Mr. Gardner, but I know he is a man for whom we all have 

 great respect. Mr. Kellogg was a charter member of the Wisconsin 

 Horticultural Society in 1856 and has been doing good work ever 

 since. I am glad to see all three of these men thus honored. 



The President : I know these people are worthy, and I think 

 they appreciate the honor extended. I think this action is especially 

 appropriate in the case of Mr. Yahnke because he is unable to be 

 here. 



Mr. Philips : Yes, our friend and brother and co-worker, Mr. 

 Frank Yahnke, is absent from one of the meetings which he always 

 so much enjoyed. We all miss him. We miss his cheery voice, his 

 smiling face and his hearty handshake, and in view of our esteem for 

 him and his enforced absence I wish to move that the secretary be 

 instructed to extend to him in behalf of the society our sincere 

 sympathy in his illness, and also to his wife and beautiful daughter, 

 who are so tenderly caring for him, and that such a message be for- 

 warded at once. The motion was duly seconded and being voted up- 

 on unanimously prevailed. 



On motion of Mr. Schutz the meeting adjourned. 



MINNESOTA STATE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION. 

 JOINT SESSION. 



The annual meeting of the Minnesota State Forestry Association 

 was called to order by the president, Mr. C. M. Loring, at three 

 o'clock. 



The President : My first duty is to express regret at the absence 

 of three of the speakers this afternoon whose names appear on the 

 program. President Northrup fully intended to be here but found 

 he had an engagement at the university which would detain him this 

 afternoon, although he did not know anything about it until he was 

 ready to come here. Mr. Nelson is out of the city, and Mr. Mar- 

 shall, who was to represent the United States Forestry Board, is also 

 unable to be present. I think it may be a pleasant matter to you 

 to state that the usual address by the president will not be given at 

 this time. Illness has prevented me from inflicting an address upon 

 you. We have with us always, as you know. Prof. Green, and he 

 has promised to talk to us this afternoon upon needed forestry legis- 

 lation.
