the Coconino Forest in Arizona. There were a large number 
of timber sales on the Forest at that time and my work was all 
along that line. After spending a year in this region I returned 
to the School in October, 1907, and completed the Senior course. 
I took the civil service examinations at Silicanzo, Ala., with my 
Class of 1908, during the spring term of the Senior year. At 
that time we were studying lumbering conditions of the Kane 
Lumber Company’s holdings. After completing the spring 
term I returned to Charleston, S. C., shortly afterwards received 
an appointment as forest assistant and reported to Washington, 
D. C., July 1, 1908. I left on the same day for Thompson Falls, 
Mont., and joined a reconnaissance party on the Cabinet National 
Forest. Our work was principally along the line of timber esti- 
mates, together with a general land classification of odd sections 
included within the primary limits of the Northern Pacific Rail- 
road grant. On November 18, 1908, I was assigned to the 
Coeur d’Alene National Forest as forest assistant. On July 
20, 1909, was transferred to the Kootenai National Forest and 
a few months afterwards was appointed as deputy forest super- 
visor. During March of 1911 I was again transferred to the 
Missoula National Forest as acting forest supervisor, with 
headquarters at Missoula, Mont. On July 1, 1912, received an 
appointment as forest supervisor.”
