"products" and gone into something- 

 more productive for Kempfer. De- 

 tails not reported. 



Drake, '06, is still at Flagstaff, 

 Arizona, too busy for private corres- 

 pondence. He deserves great credit 

 to hold out so long in the land of 

 sunshine, rattlesnakes and drought, 

 and we all feel truly grateful to 

 Drake. He is doing great work, and 

 his impress on the Coconino Forest 

 will last. 



Stickney, '06, on the Kaniksu, is 

 too busy now-a-days, in fact, ever 

 since he became Supervisor. They 

 say he sticks close to the brush, and 

 is adverse to too much red tape, and 

 black tape as well. Reminds us of 

 the old man of -Strassburg; "Why, 

 when I was a young Forester, we got 

 along with forty sheets of paper per 

 year. And now, why they are mak- 

 ing a regular statistical clerk and 



bookkeeper of me." 



Kummell, '07, keeps on planting 

 and never says a word. And it is no 

 wonder, for the chances on the North- 

 west Coast are too tempting. In 

 twenty years from now, people will 

 bless you for every last one of these 

 seedlings and plantations; and your 

 results will save a hundred timee all 

 your work is now costing. 



Gooch, '12, dropped in just to say 

 hello! He was on his way from 

 Florida to Portland. "Florida is fine, 

 the chances of the best; but the ap- 

 preciation for Forestry is in inverse 

 ratio to these very chances." 



; Munn, '12, is on the Angeles, but 

 has the Chapparral fever and can't 

 write. No wonder, 'Munn; if we were 

 among your posy gardens of lilacs 

 (Adenostoma) and poppies, we too 

 would quit this scribble.
