in botany should be interested in forestry, and 

 the fellow in chemistry will be expected to 

 take charge of the laboratory work in the first 

 year's work in inorganic chemistiy. There is 

 an excellent opportunity for research work on 

 smelter problems, and also along some lines 

 of electro-chemistry. Graduates of any rep- 

 utable college or university are eligible. Ap- 

 plicants should send their credentials to Dr. 

 0. J. Craig, president, Missoula, Montana.
