then spent a month on the (Medicine 

 Bow forest marking- timber. Was 

 then transferred to the San Francisco 

 Mts. Forest and have remained there 

 since. Was promoted to Deputy Su- 

 pervisor Jan. 1, 1909 and Supervisor 

 Jan. 1, 1912. Still hold the position 

 of Forest Supervisor on the Coconino 

 National Forest. Was married in 

 June, 1909, and have one daughter, 

 born Jan. 1, 1911." 



The following was received from 

 H. S. Sackett, of the Chicago office: 

 "If modesty didn't forbid, I would be 

 glad to present you with an autobio- 

 graphy of my fortunes since leav- 

 ing Michigan. But the old dame won't 

 permit me and I fear you will have 

 to omit it. In lieu, may I suggest 



that you run the inclosed statement 

 concerning the utilization of wood 

 waste which will serve the purpose 

 of showing the work in which I have 

 been mainly interested since leaving 

 Ann Arbor?" Lack of space in this 

 issue prevents the publication of the 

 article referred to. 



No word was received from Skeels, 

 Thorward, Stickney, Moody, Kemp- 

 fer or White, so the best the editors 

 can do is to refer the reader to the 

 directory published in the fiirst issue 

 of this year's Forester. 



Death has claimed one member of 

 the class of 1906: F. J. Phillips, who 

 at the time of his demise wjas profes- 

 sor of forestry at the University of 

 Nebraska. 



NEWS OF THE MEN IN THE FIELD. 



Heber IStout, '10, address Iloilo, 

 Philippines, has been promoted to 

 chief forester of Negros, Leyti, Cebu, 

 Bohol, Palawan, etc., of the district 

 of the Viscayas and Palawan (all 

 clear to every educated man of Wash- 

 tenaw) and has more islands, sam- 

 pans, bolos and brown brother rang- 

 ers than the Sultan of Sulu himself. 

 A Pennsy man is helping him and 

 smokes while Stout does the think- 

 ing. He is out of the Bosque (means 

 county jail?) and right in civiliza- 

 tion, with stationery from the Panay 

 Club (close brother to Picknick). He 

 says Mathews is turning out expert 

 rangers at the rate of 3 per after- 

 noon. Stout says he's coming but 

 only on a visit. This is hopeful, for 

 we know there will be a few min- 

 utes at lease for the old town and 

 U. of M. Fast mail service, a let- 

 ter 12 months at the office, that is 

 accommodation bordering on rapid 

 transit on the Erie canal. He had the 

 latest news ever heard of Taft's elec- 

 tion. What he won't hear about Taft 

 next will fill the war gazette. He says 

 Curran is still cimarron, roams the 

 woods and eats rice and parrot. Well, 

 it beats cold storage chidkens, Stout. 

 Auf wiedersehen, Stout, our best 

 wishes and congratulations. Get 

 Klemme to interpret: he things Ger- 

 man, speaks Spanish and writes Eng- 



lish, so he is safe. Best regards to 

 all the boys, from the Club. 



Prof. Mulford continues at Cornell, 

 and, as head of the school, is busily 

 organizing affairs. Two hundred 

 students have taken the courses in 

 forestry offered at the college and 

 much extension work has been done 

 by Mulford and Bentley. 



E. H. Pound says: "South America, 

 the Andes and the real jungle for me." 

 But he adds that the formula for 

 government and revolution has a de- 

 fect, that neither the Yr nor the Se 

 is sufficiently reliable. Prof. Hussey 

 in astronomy is down in Argentina 

 and is gradually getting onto the 

 curve, Pound. IE. H. talked to the 

 Washington scientists on the Amazon 

 region and his trip across the conti- 

 nent. Better come up and tell it to 

 the Club Pound. 



Maris, '10, is counting the elks and 

 getting the Gc and Ge on the stock. 

 He says the trouble is not with the 

 Elk, but with the court which would 

 not indict a fellow who kills for 

 turks. He also thinks some of the 

 markmanship is not up to the Love- 

 joy standard, when 75 shots fail to do 

 more than wound a lot of these poor 

 mismanaged and starving animals. 

 Glory to state rights and peanut pol- 

 itics!
