news notes; not to be a technical publication. The cost of the pub- 

 lication as planned is to be borne largely by advertising, this adver- 

 tising to be secured by the member clubs in an amount proportional 

 to the number of members in each club. It was decided not to 

 petition for junior membership in the Society of American Foresters, 

 but that such membership would be very acceptable to members 

 of the Association in case that action was taken by the Society 

 opening membership to undergraduates in forestry schools. Reports 

 were made by each of the delegates and by the Secretary-Treasurer. 



Following the business session dinner was served to the visiting 

 delegates by the local chapter of Xi Sigma Pi, National Honorary 

 Forestry Fraternity. 



In the evening an illustrated lecture was given in Forestry Hall 

 by 0. P. M. Goss, Engineer for the West Coast Lumbermen's Asso- 

 cation. The subject of the lecture was "Pacific Coast Timber and 

 Its Uses. " 



A large part of the second day of the convention was spent in 

 the city of Everett. Thru the kindness of the Northwest Fisheries 

 Co a large motor boat was placed at the disposal of the Forest Club 

 for the entire day, and sixty-five foresters eirbarked on the early 

 morning cruise to the "city of smokestacks." Representatives of 

 the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. met the party at the dock and escorted 

 them thru the huge electric sawmill operated by that company. 

 Following the inspection of the sawmill lunch was served to the 

 entire delegation at the company hotel. To complete the hospitality 

 of the Weyerhaeuser Company their representatives escorted the 

 party to the next point of interest, the plant of the Everett Pulp and 

 Paper Co. The courtesy offered the party by the Weyerhaeuser 

 Company was due to the generosity of Mr. George S. Long of Tacoma, 

 the northwest representative of that concern. At the Everett Pulp 

 and Paper Co. the party was divided into groups of ten, and the 

 entire operation was inspected and explanation made by the guides 

 furnished by the company. Re-embarking on the good ship Glovina 

 the foresters returned to Seattle in time to attend a smoker given 

 by the Washington Forest Club in honor of the visiting delegates. 

 In addition to athletic events and refreshments the foresters enjoyed 

 excellent talks by George Cornwall, editor of the Timberman, and 

 Lewis Schwager of the Schwager & Nettleton Mill Co. 



- On the third and last day of the convention a motor trip was 

 taken to the operation of the Cherry Valley Timber Co. at Stillwater. 

 Washington, stopping on the way to view Snoqualmie Falls. 



After enjoying the excellent lunch served by the Cherry Valley 

 Co. the delegation was loaded on a logging train and taken into the 

 logging woods to see the operation of yarding by the "high-lead" 

 system. Of no less interest to the party was the inspection of the 

 model camp of the company, which is considered the best portable 

 logging camp in the western portion of the United States.

 rom woods clothes to suitable attire for the farewell banquet at
