I.ovejoy has not yet figured out the 

 Se in agriculture as against that in 

 forestry for the Mt. Olympus and 

 therefore he has not a word to say. 

 Give it to us in installments, Love- 

 joy, and don't keep us waiting. Love- 

 joy says: "A Prussian 'Forstwart' 

 plus experience as whaler and pirate 

 with a little of good salmon steak to 

 take off the edge makes a fine ranger 

 for protective service." This is from 

 the first chapter of his book, "Doin' 

 versus Oratory, or - - ." 



Ransom writes in to find out who 

 was responsible for the item pub- 

 lished about him in the last issue of 

 TH FORESTER, and vows vengeance if 

 he finds the guilty party. Of course 

 he denies the whole affair. Incident- 

 ally he wishes all the fifth year men 

 success in their civil service exams. 



H. A. Green drops a few lines from 

 Priest River, where he has been work- 

 ing with Farquhar on seed extraction, 

 He claims that his evenings are short, 

 his eyes full of dust, and that he has 

 no Sundays, and hence has rather 

 lost track of the outside world. By 

 this time Green is doubtless engaged 

 in experimental work, his letter stat- 

 ing that he expected to go into that 

 soon. 



Xdlis, 'u, sends best wishes to all 

 the boys and states that he is now 

 engaged on lumber price work and 

 in making a study of Vermont wood- 

 using. 



Keplinger, '08, has left Pagosa 

 Springs, Colo., and is now at the 

 experiment station at Wagon Wheel 

 (ap working, in co-operation with 

 the Weather Bureau, "on that grand 

 old question of 'Forest Influences,' 

 with special reference to stream flow." 

 Good work, Keplinger. Here's wish- 

 ing you success in your work. 



Duthie was East on a visit and 

 stopped here to see us a couple of 

 days. He was here about the time 

 the announcement of Profe-xn- 

 Roth's resignation was made. With 



the rest of us, he feels that a hard 

 blow has been dealt the school, but 

 he is too loyal to Michigan to think 

 it means a kn-ock-out and says that 

 the department will continue, to turn 

 out men who "make good." It's just 

 such spirit as that that has helped 

 to make a good name for the Michi- 

 gan foresters. 



Goetz, '08, is at present acting head 

 of the forestry department in Ohio 

 State University, in the absence of 

 Professor William Laxenby, who is 

 taking a trip around the world ami 

 studying forestry conditions general- 

 ly. Congratulations to Goetx, and 

 greetings to the Ohio State forestry 

 school. 



We understand that Bedford has 

 gone into the Indian Service, and at 

 an advanced salary, although still 

 working in forestry lines. Congratu- 

 lations, Bedford. Better drop us a 

 line and tell us how things go in the 

 I. S. 



Some one comes across with the 

 enlightening bit of news that "Lar- 

 sen spent a joyful holiday season in 

 San Francisco." How about that, 

 Larsen? You should keep us in- 

 formed of such things. 



Dorr Skeels, '06, is assigned tem- 

 porarily to district I headquarters and 

 is lecturing at the ranger's school at 

 the University of Montana. This is 

 Skeel's second winter there. Evi- 

 dently they like him. 



Hopkins, '08, who is now with the 

 Northern Pacific Railroad Company 

 as timber and land examiner, paid us 

 a brief visit recently on his way east 

 from St. Paul. 



Morris, '09, was in Chicago re- 

 cently on his vacation, but he was so 

 "busy" that he couldn't find time to 

 run over and pay the old school a 

 visit. 



Mar is says that the entire force 

 on the forest is about to start an elk 

 counting campaign, and adds that the 

 L'-anu- enthusiasts who want to do 

 something for the game but don't 

 kr.ow just how to go about it are 

 constantly pestering the force, so they 

 are getting ready to answer questions.
