G. R. Green is busy as a bee in 

 Ohio and runs into all sorts of fine 

 things, even magnolia. 



Peter Keplinger says : "Colorado 

 and the brush for me; and in par- 

 ticular the San Juan after a clean- 

 up.*' Pullman, neither as college or 

 car, appeals long to a Michigan fores- 

 ter. 



Boyd Maris is on the Teton and he 

 says that Huber's formula does not 

 apply to the big timber of the Ter- 

 tiary, which some old lumberman, be- 

 fore Adam, had salted away and let 

 petrify. The modern lumberman does 

 not take any such chances. Maris. 

 Incidentally he says that ' reconnais- 

 ance is a bother when you have to 

 "shoo" the elk out of line, so he has 

 a brand new plan. Better come for 

 a visit and tell it at the club. 



Reynolds feels "peeved." The edi- 

 tor of last year forgot to mention his 

 boy, so he protests and says that when 

 a youngster who draws the prize at 

 a cour.ty bain' show is to be neglected 

 in the Forester, he is going to run 

 for congressman or do some other 

 desperate thing. Our apologies, Mr. 

 Reynolds ; the boy has been presented 

 to the club and it is a stand-off be- 

 tween Pierce at Halsey and Reynolds, 

 Jr. 



Stowell Smith, '05, lost a three- 

 year-old boy \\ ith a form of diptheria. 

 The sympathy of all good foresters 

 to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. 



And then these great National 

 Forest publications! Here is the 

 "Trinity Forester," and the "Black- 

 footer." Just splendid and the spirit 

 is of the best. Keep it up and don't 

 forget us on mail clay. 



Lovejoy says : "At last T have room 

 enough to start "sompin." (He al- 

 ways was a reformer in spelling.) 

 He is figuring and debating whether 

 the Olympus is just one great "chute- 

 the-chutes" or suited to "June ir," or 

 may be conserved for alpine balsam 

 and buck brush. Use Heyer's formu- 

 la and strike an average. Might also 

 consult ex-Senator Foster. 



J. R. Dickson is still supervisor of 



the Riding Mountain, and say.- "snotl 

 is no object." He has some novelties 

 in the protection line and says : "a 

 bull team and a Galician equal a 

 fire line." For safety he adds: "If 

 you give them time enough." Dick- 

 son is strong on fire line and reports 

 that politics and boulders at times 

 produce spontaneous combustion and 

 account for many forest fires in Can- 

 ada. He might have extended the 

 territory. 



Mathews is in the "Islands" teach- 

 ing the natives forestry and politics. 

 En passant, Mathews. you just cut 

 out that last course; they know that 

 from the Koran. He has his eyes 

 on China now and claims the Islands 

 are a little cramped. Well, you get 

 all the. room you want ; strike high. 

 Mathews. Tibet, with 14,000 feet, 

 ought to feel airy and lofty. And 

 the style they put on ! See American 

 Forestry if you doubt it. Best of 

 luck to you fellows of the Antipodes. 



Moody, '06, is state forester of 

 Wisconsin now. He has the nob- 

 biest forester's house on the continent 

 has the finest plantation of Western 

 Yellow Pine and feels decidedly ches- 

 ty. He paid a visit to Michigan; also 

 visited the Adirondacks. He wanted 

 to expound the Wisconsin Gospel to 

 the boys, but got side-tracked by a 

 Woman's Club. Come again and 

 come soon. Mr. Moody. 



The stork, on his way north, left 

 a boy at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 

 A. L. Brower at Mackay, Idaho. 



Pound is off in far South America. 

 Humming birds, monkey roast, boa 

 constrictor, but not as a steady diet. 

 The Amazon has its striking faults ; 

 this is evidently one of them. But 

 Pound is hopeful and thinks that if 

 they ever strike the right formula the 

 revolution will be continuous and -a 

 sort of "moving equilibrium" will 

 come to those tropical regions and 

 bring peace and happiness galore. 

 The need for it is there, according 

 to Pound.

 Pacific and thinks "business is busi-
