vicinity in 1908. It was a relief to all, especially to his relatives, 

 to put at rest any doubt as to the manner and place of his death. 



Several members of the party knapsacked across the upper 

 basin of the main South Fork of the Kings River and over the 

 divide by Marion Lake, and down Cartridge Creek into Simpson 

 Meadows and the main Middle Fork Canon, returning by way 

 of Granite Basin. After this delightful outing, the party re- 

 turned more than ever convinced of the fact that the Kings 

 River region is to become one of California's great attractions. 

 Trips in future years are planned to the Middle Fork and to the 

 Upper Basin of the South Fork and vicinity of Bench Lake. 



The Club will return to the Yosemite National Park for its 

 annual Outing in July, 191 1, and take the wonderful circuit of the 

 park that has already been announced in a preliminary circular. 

 This trip presents an exceptional opportunity to visit Yosemite 

 and the other grand features of the Yosemite National Park, 

 including the Tuolumne Meadows, Grand Cafion of the Tuolumne, 

 Hetch Hetchy Valley, etc. 



The special railroad rates due to the meeting of the National 

 Educational Association in San Francisco in 191 1 will make it 

 possible for many Easterners to take advantage of the trip.
