Mountains and is working around 

 that grandest of all peaks, Shasta. 

 We envy any man who has Shasta 

 as his neighbor and the eye to see 

 and the heart to enjoy. Congratula- 

 tions. 



Randies lost three pounds and is 

 worried. No wonder, he can't really 

 afford it. And to put R on a job 

 in Arizona is hardiy fair. 



Mosher has simply vanished. There 

 does not even seem to be a ghost left. 

 Everybody asks "where is Mosher?" 

 and the answer is, "Don't know." 

 Now this will not do ; get a "peep" 

 on yourself, Mosher. 



Ransom is still up at Libby, and 

 simply sawing wood. The little bird 

 has it that he is "fussing," and ne- 

 glecting the saw. 



Seward Smith is in the hills. There 

 is exactly where he wants to be, but 

 he never lets out even a whisper. 

 Simply has not ti.me Take a vaca- 

 tion, Smith, and come and see. us. 



Barrus, '10, is with the New York 

 Forest Commission. This latter is 

 a noble body with big salaries. As 

 an indication of activity they use 

 three kinds of stationery in the same 

 month. Barrus is chasing down the 

 chestnut blight and says that Dr. 

 Kaufman's course in fungi is it. He 

 also thinks that a bit of practice in 

 photography might come handy, for 

 his first job consisted in getting pic- 

 torial evidence for a court trial, and 

 he felt a bit shaky. Moral : "Do a 



little camera work, or get some one 

 who does." 



Boerker, 'u, is on the Lassen in 

 California. He struck forest protec- 

 tion at both ends, fighting Dendroc- 

 tonus and fire. He is not impressed 

 with T. B. Walker's "mild burning 

 method" of forest devastation, nor 

 with burning up the poor Jeffreyi for 

 "crude" and "abietene." He has In- 

 cense Cedar down pat in case you 

 need "dope." Thanks Boerker, we 

 need it, and we agree with you on 

 T. B. every time. 



Wetmore is still in Mexico, com- 

 bining railroading and land deals with 

 timber cruising and a bit of revolu- 

 tion. He has the d. b. h, of all clas- 

 ses of bombs; his Doctor Thesis will 

 tell the rest. 



Mexico now has a national school 

 of forestry with Prof. Gaumer at the 

 head. Was that your work, Wet- 

 more? 



Dnthie is a climber ; the Black 

 Hills were too low and squatty and 

 the air heavy, so he pulled out for 

 Pike's Peak and is located at Den- 

 ver. Congratulations to Deputyship. 



Sponsler is professor and Duppert 

 is adjunct professor of forestry at 

 Nebraska. A good team, a good 

 chance. The best of luck to Ne- 

 braska and her school. 



Both Harold Clark and Tom 

 Spaulding went and did it settled, 

 at Fort Collins, Col, and St. Maries, 

 Idaho. 



General News Notes 



Fairly bursting with pent-up energy 

 and enthusiasm the Forestry Club 

 starts the year with the brightest of 

 prospects. The fifth annual camp- 

 fire was a decided success, the com- 

 mittee in charge performing its task 

 in A No. i shape. Following close 

 upon the heels of the campfire was 

 the first of a series of five smok- 

 ers to be given during the year. This 

 was another big occasion, a large 



crowd turning out to enjoy the ex- 

 cellent entertainment provided by the 

 group captained by "Mike" Sweeney. 

 Several real orators were "discov- 

 ered" at this time, but being modest 

 they desire their names withheld. 

 But there were good talks by Pro- 

 fessors Johnston, Merrick and 

 Schmutz of the surveying depart- 

 ment, Dr. Newcombe and Dr. Kauff- 

 man of the botany department, Pro-
