shall also be a lien upon the land itself. Proceedings for the 

 enforcement of such lien shall be instituted by the district 

 attorney of the country in which the cutting was done, at the 

 request of the state board of forestry and in the name of the 

 State of Wisconsin as claimant ; and costs shall be recovered in 

 the usual manner. The claim for any lien shall be filed by the 

 state fire warden, or under his direction by any of his assistants, 

 inspectors, assistant inspectors, patrol or fire wardens, in the 

 district in which the expense occurred, in the office of the clerk 

 of the district court, in the county in which the claim arose. 



The State Forest Fire Warden is to be given power to 

 modify the provisions of the Act in individual cases, where he 

 considers it advisable. 



Lumbermen As was noted in the issue of the Journal for 



Value October last (p. 122), Messrs. White, Mitchell 



Foresters' and Dwight, of the senior class in forestry in 



Work. the University of Toronto, spent the summer 



vacation in forest work on the limits of the 

 Turner Lumber Company. The character of the work done and 

 the value which the company places on it is well shown by the 

 following letter recently received by Dean Fernow, of the Faculty 

 of Forestry: — 

 Dr. Fernow, 



Dean, Faculty of Forestry, 

 University of Toronto, 

 Toronto, Ont. 

 Dear Sir: — 



We have received a topographical map of lots 1 to 12, con- 

 cessions 5 to 9, of the township of Wilson, which was made by 

 students of your department after they had made an examina- 

 tion of the territory. This map shows accurately the character 

 of the country, the location of roads, streams and lakes, and also 

 the timber, with the kind designated. 



We do not believe that we could hire a timber cruiser or an 

 engineer in Canada who could get up a map as valuable to us 

 for the purpose for which it will be used. 



We sincerelv hope that next summer you will be able to 

 recommend to us students from your department who can do 

 similar work for us on this township and others, as we are 

 anxious to have all our holdings examined and maps made of 

 them in the same accurate and intelligent manner as the work 

 performed by Messrs. White, Dwight and Mitchell. 



Yours truly, 

 (Sgd.) dwight J. TURNER, 



President.
