of the class will board in the woods for about $2.50 a week 

 compared with the $4.50 charged, at the school. Each stu- 

 dent will make a deposit of $50 with the class treasurer, 

 Donald Aldsworth. This covers practically all their expenses. 

 In addition the class will set up a hotel on April 20, when the 

 freshman class arrives to spend the rest of the summer. The 

 freshmen will be charged $3 a week. The profit will be given 

 to a fund, which will be used to build a clubhouse on the 

 campus. 



Speaking of the forestry class recalls a recent address 

 made by State Forester Cox to the students at the forest 

 school. The forester spoke on the "Opportunities for Trained 

 Foresters." He told the young men that it was one of the 

 few fields that was not overcrowded. The government, the 

 different states, the railroads, the Canadian government, and 

 many fields of private industry; he declared are open to ex- 

 pert foresters, and still the supply is not equal to the demand. 

 The Canadian government, he said, is especially anxious to 

 secure young foresters trained \n the profession, and there 

 are plenty of promising openings for such men in public and 

 private positions right here in Minnesota. 



A report issued by Luther Conant, Jr., commissioner of 

 corporations, shows that the total amount of standing timber 

 in the United States is 2,826,400,000,000 feet. Of this amount 

 Minnesota is credited with only 29,700,000,000 feet B. M. 

 This howevei does not include immense quantities of tama- 

 rack and cedar and of fine birch and poplar timber which 

 cover vast areas in the Northern part of the state, sufficient 

 to bring the total timber supply in Minnesota up to 75,000,- 

 000,000 feet. 



.Standing timber in the other states is as follows: 



State Pacific Northwest. Feet. 



California 381,400,000,000 



Oregon 545,800,000,000 



Washington 391,000,000,000 



Idaho 129,100,000,000
