Immediately  after  adjournment  of

On  the  following  day, M ty  30th,  we 
left  Bay  City  for  Oscoda,  where  we 
arrived  the  same  evening  and  were 
met  at  the  depot  by  our  agent,  M r. 
F.  E.  Skeels.  T he  following  morn

Mr.  Skeels  on  the  Au  Sable  and 
N.  W.  Railroad  (a  narrow  gauge 
road  owned  by  the  Loud  Bros.)  for 
Marsh's  camp, passing  through  Bry

almost  perfect  knowledge  of 
the 
location  and  quality  of  all  College 
lands;  not  only  in  a  general  way, 
but  as  to  the  kind  of 
timber  and  as 
to  individual

would  become  valuable  also

to  bring  about  this  result,  and  if  our 
present 
sufficiently 
stringent,  the  legislature  ought  to

One  of  the  notable  places  in  our 
trip  from  Mio  to  McKinley  was the 
farm  of  a  colored  man  by  the  name 
of  Geo. Davis  where  we took  dinner. 
We  found  him  quite  an  intelligent 
man,  a justice  of  the  peace,  member 
of  the  township  board,  and  a  man 
respected  by  his  neighbors.  His 
farm  was on the bank  of the  AuSable 
river.  He had quite  a herd  of  cattle, 
hogs  and  sheep,  good  horses,  and 
what  struck  us  most  forcibly  was a 
field  of  thrifty  clover  adjoining  his 
buildings,  and  all  of 
this  upon  a 
poor  quality  of  jack-pine  land.  He 
had  a l so  an  orchard  of  apples, 
peaches,  pears  and  cnernes  which 
looked  thrifty,  and  gave  promise  in 
due 
time  of  the.  several  kinds  of 
fruit.  We  also  on  the  trip  called  at 
the  barn  of  a  farmer  and  examined 
quite  a  quantity  of  wool  of  his own 
production,  and  saw  many  quite 
large  herds  of  young  cattle  and 
flocks  of  sheep;  and  all  this  upon 
jack-pine  lands.  T he  buildings  on 
most  of 
the  farms  visited  by  us 
were  new  and  substantial  and  the 
general  appearance  of 
the  places 
showed  thrift  and faith  in  the  future 
possibilities  of  the  country.

While  not strictly  a part  of the du

doing  some  of  this  work.  He  was 
quite  sure  he  could  do  it  without 
neglecting  his  College  duties.  He 
said  he  would  make  duplicate  daily

connect  our Board  with, and to assist, 
the  Forestry  Commission.  W e think 
there  is  no  more  important  outside 
work  which  the  College  can  under 
take  for  the  people  of  Michigan 
than  the  better  care  and  protection 
of  the  timber  still  remaining  on  the 
public  lands. 
In  view  of  the  large 
amount  of  lands  still  held  by  the 
College,  it  appears  to us that  it  is  the 
natural  and  proper  policy  to 
join 
with  the  Forestry  Commission  in  an 
active  and  aggressive  campaign  to 
have

such 

In  conclusion,  we  wish  to  repeat 
that  we  are  convinced  thit  the  stop 
ping  of  trespass  and  the  preventing 
of  fires  are  the things  of  most  press 
ing  importance  to  save  the  timber 
we  now  have, and the  most  effective 
means  to  reforest  our  stripped  lands 
and  to  encourage  vegetable  growth 
which  will  gradually  increase  their 
fertility.  We  earnestly  recommend 
the  most  hearty  co-operation  with 
the  Forestry  Commission  in  trying 
to  accomplish  the above  results. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  sub

"  W.  J.  McGee  is  head  chemist 
of  the  Milwaukee  Gas  Co.  and  is 
doing  well,"  writes  a  friend. 

T.  G.  A g n e w,  with 

'97,  writes 
from  Chicago  that  he  is  thinking  of 
taking  a course  in electrical  engineer 
ing  in  the  Lewis  Institute. 

Dr.  E.  B.  Bradford,  with 

'90, 
visited  the  College  recently.  While 
in  Lansing  he  ordered  a  $2,000 
Electric  Auto,  of  the  O  ds  Co., for 
use  in  his  practice.  His  address  is 
491  n th  A v e. S.,  Milwaukee. 

Guy  Stewart,  '95, writes  that  his 
new  address  is  310  A  St.,  N.  E. 
Washington,  D.  C.  His  work  as 
assistant  industrial  agent  of  the  B. &

Harrison  is to  be  married  on the 17th 
of  October. 

Floyd  W.  Robinson,  '98, has  also 
decided  that  he  cannot

F.  H o d g m a n, 

'65,  has  recently 
been  elected  treasurer  of  the  Mich 
igan  Engineering  Society.  This  is 
Mr.  Hodgman's 
fifteenth  successive 
election  to  that  position.  He  seems 
to  be  a  man  greatly  in  demand  at 
time.  A  few  weeks 
the  present 
ago  he  received  a  letter  from  Prof. 
M. E. Cooley,  appraiser  of  railroads, 
requesting  him  to  accept  a  position 
as  an  assistant  in  that  work.  M r. 
recently 
Hodgman  has  also  been 
asked 
to  accept  an  "emergency" 
appointment  in  the  Department  of

on  the  revision  of  the  "Manual  of

the  College.  He  has  had  charge  of 
a  farm  of 800 acres, stocked  with  200 
Holstein  cattle, at  Cross  River,  N ew

athletic  association  fixed  up  the  field 
in good  condition, they  would  enclose

the 

M.  A.  C.'s  first  scheduled 

foot 
ball  game  of  the  season  was  played 
with  Albion  Saturday,  September 
29,  at  the  mile  track,  the  latter  scor 
ing  23  to 
former's  nothing. 
Albion  kicked  off,  and  M.  A.  C. 
got  the  ball  on  the 
twenty-yard 
line,  and  began,  by  a  series  of  end 
bucks,  to  advance  the ball  in a  lively 
manner  towards  Albion's  goal,  when 
umpire  Burke  of  Albion  began  his 
series  of  unfair  decisions,  which 
turned  the  ball  over  to  Albion  at  a 
number  of  critical  times,  once  when 
M.  A.  C.  had  the  ball  on  their  op 
ponent's  five-yard  line.  We  dislike 
to  say  anything  against  an  official, 
but  such  a  continued  series  of  preju 
dicial  decisions,  taking  the  heart  out 
to 
of  our  boys,  was  too  evident 
everybody 
in 
to  be  passed  over 
silence. 

T he  foot  ball  schedule  for  the 
remainder  of  the  term  follows,  with 
Olivet's  date  to  be  arranged  later: 
Oct.  13, Adrian  at  M.  A.  C.
