reconnaissance, surveying, estimating, 

 mapping ; and the man who beats Evans 

 gets up even before Margolin, who is 

 considered star in the Great Hills. Evans 

 enjoyed his work with the big men of 

 the District, helped "try out" different 

 methods and believes in the Biltmore 

 stick and new methods as giving good 

 results. The Club always likes to hear 

 from Evans. 



Stewart, '09, keeps to his habit, never 

 has much to say, but is right on the job. 

 He has had some great exeprience, has 

 traveled all over that mysterious land of 

 the natural bridges, and the wonderful 

 land and rock carving of Southeastern 

 Utah. But at last he has settled down 

 to a regular forester's pace on the Sal- 

 mon and is "Deputy." Best wishes of 

 the Club. 



DeNancrede, '09, like Evans, has been 

 right into the work from the start, has 

 never really left the brush, and is get- 

 ting to be quite an expert in reconnais- 

 sance. He believes in good work, en- 

 joys the woods, and has a cling-to feel- 

 ing for the Priest River country. No 

 wonder, the Northern Rockies are a 

 choice bit of forest land. 



Duthie, '09, is in the midst of getting 

 settled on the Medicine Bow. Not a 

 very large forest, but it takes a full siz^ 

 man more than a few days to get a line 

 on all that is going on. The "Bow" is 

 a live affair since Lovejoy and Stretch 

 got things organized. 



Pierce, '08, has left the "chestnut 

 blight" work for special reasons (the 

 money gave out), but sticks to the east 

 and to private work. Not a bad plan ; 

 the best of luck to you. Address now 

 at 6 Beacon Street, Boston, Mass. 



Mathews, '09, is the big man of the 

 Philippine Forest School near Manila, 

 but is too busy to write anything of the 

 gossip order. 



Bedford, '10, has nothing at all to 



say. But Chenay who rode 500 miles 

 across the mountains just to see Bed- 

 ford, says that he is right into timber 

 sales, and has his hands and head full 

 of business. "No, he does not let them 

 bluff him either; heard him say over 

 the wire "You've got to come through 

 with that 5000 or I'll close you up" so 

 you see he is there and does whatever 

 bluffing is wanted himself." 



Cook, '10, had to go back to the 

 woods. It's the old call, Cook; the 

 Kansas prairies don't get that out of 

 the system. The Club would like to 

 hear from Cook. 



Brown (F. B. H.) '04, is instructor in 

 Forest Botany at Ohio University. He 

 was up in Michigan doing a fine job of 

 field work in accurate forest description 

 in the remaining virgin stands of South- 

 ern Michigan hardwoods. This is a 

 truly valuable task. It will not be many 

 years before we shall be exactly where 

 Europe is now, and debate what the vir- 

 gin forest was really like. And then 

 such work as Brown is doing will be 

 recognized and appreciated. And none 

 better able to do it than our friends. 



Peavey, '05, is still at Corvallis turn- 

 ing out good men for forestry work, get- 

 ing in line with timber owners, attend- 

 ing their meetings, and putting some 

 good sense and 'pep' into some of their 

 Congresses ; mixes in a little of politics 

 ( !*) at least has a hand in the state for- 

 estry work, as it should be. Oregon is 

 fortunate in having Peavy, and the Club 

 sends regards and good wishes, and 

 invites you to a "gabfest," with full at- 

 tendance, at the Union. 



Stout, '10, is forester to the District 

 of the Visayas, and has fourteen rangers, 

 of which six are graduates of Mathews' 

 school at Manila. Stout is looking wist- 

 fully at Bedford's layout. Only way to 

 do, Stout, and that is to come back to 

 God's country and settle down. From
