some results of value. Sorry I could 

 not sit with you under that 200-foot 

 yellow pine at the camp. 



Hill, '05, is on the (Sierra, busy 

 with reconnaissance and methods.. 

 He is still fond of math, and has 

 faith in A equals D over 5 times the 

 square root of p as to diameter 

 classes to make in merchantable tim- 

 ber. Stick to your figures, Hill; you 

 know you are right. 



"Fisher and Bryant, Consulting 

 Foresters, Boston, Mass. A. iS. Hop- 

 kins, Secretary-Treasurer," was the 

 life history indicated in the official 

 letter head. It developed that Hop- 

 kins, '09, after leaving the Northern 

 Pacific, took a position with the 

 above firm, and is doing a lot of in- 

 teresting, real Forestry work. Beet 

 of luck, Hopkins. 



Frank IVtorill, 12, writes in for 

 three men to help. It seems M'ichi- 

 gan has done in Forestry what she 

 has long done in Engineering and 

 other fields; she has spread, and is 

 not satisfied with China, Philippines, 

 and the West, but is going to Boston, 

 South Framingham, and Greenwich; 

 doing work on large and small es- 

 tates, doing work in planting, thin- 

 ning, utilization, regulation, and sur- 

 vey; in short, Morill is "doing it" 

 thoroughly and well. City 'Forestry 

 was not to his liking; "It pays well 

 enough, but I want the woods," he 

 says. The right spirit and the real 

 Forester, Morill. 



Wilson, '12, is with [Morill at South 

 Framingham, Mass. They are work- 

 ing with Theo. F. Bonst, on ^The Lit- 

 tle Tree Farms" of the American 

 Forestry Company. 



J. B. /Saxton, '10, is still at Fort 

 Simcoe, the Yakima Agency, looking 

 after a fine body of Yellow Pine for 



the Indians. He is too busy to come 

 East, as he has no help and does all 

 the work himself. Saxton is work- 

 ing into a big job. 



Duthie, '09, has been so Ibusy as 

 deputy on the "Pike" that he could 

 not even find time to tell us about his 

 transfer to the "Bow" as full-fledged 

 Supervisor. Congratulations are in 

 order. It seems but right that the 

 "Bow" should be manned by a Mich- 

 igan man after the splendid work of 

 Love:'oy and Stretch. Duthie now 

 makes amends by writing a good, 

 long letter, and incidentally admits 

 that when you step into the Supervi- 

 sor's office, it feels as if all the props, 

 all those many props, splendid "prep" 

 and "savvy" to spare, to say nothing 

 of "experience," that all these seem 

 to get knocked from under you, and 

 you feel "wobbly-like." But Duthie 

 is good for it, and half the battle is 

 to know your task and appreciate the 

 needs of work. Sorry you haven't 

 Stretch to help you. 



Raymond Hopson, '12, writes from 

 the "Arkansas" that he has been on 

 reconnaissance, had a few months of 

 "office," then a trip in the Canson, 

 New Mexico, and since then steadily 

 on the Arkansas. He had a bit of 

 fire experience, and says "a little goes 

 a long way in this business." Spring 

 flowers in March, a thunderstorm, 

 and the quiet of the Arkansas gets 

 into one's system, and it's no won- 

 der Hopson does not write. (But he 

 is going to give the Club a good pa- 

 per on Utilization, and tell us of' that 

 famous "slow train." 



Dickson, '08, is in the midst of it. 

 Canada Forestry ,has the "mumps" 

 and has changed off twice; ibut it 

 really needs lancing with an axe. 

 They are going to classify lands up 

 there, and an expert of the 'Soils De-
