With profound regret, announcement is made of the death, on June 16, of Col. 

 William Freeman Fox, a collaborator of the Forest Service, and, until June 1, 1909, 

 superintendent of State forests, New York Forest, Fish and Game Commission. 

 Colonel Fox was born on January 11, 1840, at Ballston Spa, N. Y., and served with 

 great credit through the civil war. Later he traveled extensively in Europe, study- 

 ing forest conditions and the different systems of forest management, and in 1886 

 entered the service of the State of New York. To Colonel Fox's aggressiveness and 

 foresight is due in large measure the present'forest policy of the State. As a collabo- 

 rator of the Forest Service he rendered important aid to the Government. Colonel 

 Fox was an associate member of the Society of American Foresters and the author 

 of a number of books on the forests of New York. 



It is with regret that the Service announces the death, on June 20, of Forest Ranger 

 Eugene B. Courtney by drowning in Clarks Fork River, Idaho.
