C. J. Conover: Klamath Nat'l For- 

 est; July, 1911 to Sept. 1912, Ranger 

 work; timber estimation, tire patrol, 



flre lookout, and all the numerous 



duties imposed on a Ranger. Had 



fine experience and enjoyed the 

 work immensely. 



News from Men in the Field. 



W. H. Ransom, '10, blew in for the 

 "game," but it's no longer as of yore; 

 for he was accompanied by Mrs. Ran- 

 som, formerly Miss Diobrow, of Kalis- 

 pell, Montana. Mr. and Mrs. Ran- 

 som 'made a tour of the E'ast, "just 

 to see the sea," and their friends re- 

 gretted that their visit could not be 

 longer. Congratulations and best 

 wishes of the Club for the Ransoms. 

 Incidentally it leaked out that Web- 

 ster wants to sell Mrs. R.'s pie'bald 

 pony, because it has a little failing in 

 always landing Webster "just a little 

 bit too far" front. (Keep the pony 

 and buy a pair of spurs, Ransom. 



Boyd Miaris, '10, says it is great 

 to be on the Tetons, provided you 

 are not alone. So he lived up to his 

 doctrine and married Miss Kelley on 

 June 5, last. Best wishes of the 

 Club. 



George R. Green, '11, has accepted 

 a position as teacher of Forestry in 

 Penn. State. Congratulations of the 

 Club. Mr. Green has been with the 

 Ohio State work since April, 1911. 



E. V. Jotter, '09, is still at the Old 

 Stand at Weaverville, and the Trinity 

 Foretster shows that there is good 

 work and the right spirit. 



O. M. Evans, '10, who has been on 

 the Trinity since leaving school, is 

 happy that he is a really and truly 

 son of Uncle Sam now. He was not 

 admitted to Civil Service in 1910 be- 

 cause of a hitch in the citizen 'busi- 

 ness, though in the U. :S. isince early 

 childhood. Last spring he passed 

 the exam. He will remain on the 

 Trinity. Congratulations, Evans. 



J. B. Saxton is at Ft. Simcoe, 

 Wash., and with the Indian Service. 

 He likes the Indians, the big Yellow 

 Pine, the Huckleberry up in the Pass, 

 but he draws the line on the Pine 

 Moth and its larva. He reports big 

 damage and more of it in sight. He 

 also thinks that common cruisens at 

 $7 to $10 per day do not lay it over 

 the College man, and their reports 



certainly fail to show much that the 

 Forester needs to know about the 

 forest. We agree with you Saxton; 

 it's the old story: "Knowledge counts 

 for something sometimes." Good luck 

 to you Saxton, and the best wishes 

 of the Club. 



E, H, Coulson, '12, writes from 

 Bear Trap in the Tahoe, and says 

 that old Tahoe is as fine as ever. No 

 doubt Mark Twain would be delight- 

 ed, could he again roam the wild 

 shoreis of his favorite lake and see 

 the ranger, and enjoy the cabin and 

 the trails. Bait what would please 

 him best would be the spirit of the 

 times, which has spread over the 

 whole Sierras and assures the beauty 

 of the ranges for all time. Coulson 

 has Ramsdell with him to hold down 

 the job and represent Michigan; and 

 they are valiantly brushing out lines 

 and taking stock. Address: Nevada 

 City, Calif. 



N,gan Han, '11, has returned to his 

 home, with address: care of Univer- 

 sity of Nanking, Nanking, China. He 

 feels pleased with his extra year at 

 the Agricultural College of the Uni- 

 versity of Wisconsin. He is already 

 picking his ground to start on. Pres- 

 ently he will begin to pick men and 

 trees, and we shall see friend Han in 

 earnest beginning his long and useful 

 career as father of Forestry in the 

 newest and the largest of Republics 

 of the world. The good will of the 

 Club is with you, Han. 



Woodbridge Metcalf, "12, is at 

 Darrington, Wash., doing various jobs 

 in the Service and enriching his fund 

 of good knowledge through the les- 

 soms of the woods. It is a rare 

 chance to be in the forest, usefully 

 occupied and yet not overburdened 

 by responsibility; it makes for real 

 growth, and not mere volume af- 

 fair, nor height, but the real stuff, 

 superior quality. And men like Met- 

 calf have the stuff to grow on and 

 the habit of doing so. Stick, to the
