MEMORY OF DEPARTED 

 FORESTERS HONORED 



T NUSUAL and lasting honor to the mem- 

 ory of former district ranger, Roy Mun- 

 caster, who lost his life when the Tuscania 

 was torpedoed, has been paid by the United 

 States Geographical Board, according to 

 notice received by District Forester George 

 H. Cecil, of Olympic, Oregon. The infor- 

 mation is conveyed that a peak of the 

 Olympics has been named Muncaster 

 Mountain, in honor of the heroic forester, 

 who was a private in the 20th Engineers, 

 (Forest). The peak is on the line between 

 townships 24 and 25 north, range 7 west, 

 north of Quinault River and south of 

 Rustler River in the district of the Olympic 

 National Forest formerly administered by 

 Ranger Muncaster. His courage and nerve 

 in the face of danger is attested by his last 

 words : "Cheer up, Harp, we'll get the 

 Kaiser yet," spoken to E. E. Harpham, a 

 brother forester who was in the lifeboat 

 with him, just before their frail craft was 

 smashed on the rocks. Similar honors 

 have been paid to two other departed for- 

 esters in the north Pacific district, Plum- 

 mer Peak in the Tatoosh range, Washing- 

 ton, having been named for Fred G. Plum- 

 mer and Ireland Mountain in eastern Ore- 

 gon for Henry Ireland. 



HOO-HOO ANNUAL MEETING 

 POSTPONED A YEAR 



A FTER consulting the members of the 

 Supreme Nine and House of Ancients 

 regarding the 1918 annual. Snark of the 

 universe, W. A. Priddie has instructed 

 Secretary-Treasury, E. D. Tennant to an- 

 nounce that it is the unanimous opinion of 

 the executive boards of the Order that, for 

 patriotic reasons, the 1918 Annual Meeting 

 be postponed, to take place in Chicago 

 September 9-10, 1919. 



The reasons that induced the Supreme 

 Nine and House of Ancients to come to 

 this decision were principally that, owing 

 to a large proportion of our members being 

 engaged in the manufacture of lumber, 

 which is an essential win-the-war industry, 

 they should not be asked to take time from 

 their work to attend an annual meeting. 

 Also, that the fourth Liberty Loan is due 

 September 28th. 



The cost of attending an annual this year 

 would be almost double any previous year 

 and, as the members of the Order of Hoo- 

 Hoo are determined to do their utmost 

 toward helping the Government win the 

 war, they, felt it was the patriotic duty 

 of the members to forego the pleasure of 

 meeting their fellow Hoo-Hoo at an annual 

 and save the money for Liberty Bonds. 



It also costs considerable for the Order 

 to hold an annual meeting and it was de- 

 cided that this money should be conserved 

 for work that will help the Order, do its 

 share in the all-important duty of beating 

 the Hun.
