With deep regret announcement is made of the death of Mr. William M. Aiken, 

 District Law Officer at Missoula, Mont. Mr. Aiken had gone upon a hunting trip, 

 and his body was found by a searching party on October 5. He had been a sufferer 

 for some years from chronic nephritis, incurred in the military service of the United 

 States, but the particulars regarding the cause of death have not yet been received in 

 Washington. Mr. Aiken was born April 28, 1881, at Perthshire, Miss. He served in 

 the United States Army, both in the continental United States and in the Philippine 

 Islands, from January, 1902, to September, 1906. Before entering the army he began 

 the study of law, and after leaving the service entered the Yale School of Law, from 

 which he was graduated with honor in June, 1908. He entered the Forest Service 

 as a Law Examiner August 1, 1908, and when the district office at Missoula was 

 established, December 1, 1908, he was assigned to that office as District Law Officer. 

 His ability and integrity won immediate recognition, and his untimely death is a 

 shock to his associates in the Forest Service. 



Mr. William Hovey Polleys, of Missoula, Mont., was killed early in August by the 

 falling of a tree while he was engaged in fighting a forest fire on the Lolo National 

 Forest. He was a volunteer and had worked efficiently in bringing the fire under 

 control. The members of the crew of which he was in charge were in imminent 

 danger from a falling tree and were saved by him at the sacrifice of his own life. Mr. 

 Polleys' service as a volunteer in a time of public need and his heroism in giving 

 his own life to save the lives of others entitle him to a place on the roll of men who 

 have died for humanity. 



With deep regret announcement is made of the death, on July 4, of William H. 

 Hazzard, Forest Ranger, on the Leadville National Forest.
