Timber Expert For United
States Department of
Agriculture, Division
of Forestry
Forester for State Geological Survey Ore of
the States Braniest and Most Prom
isiag Young Mel.

Mr. W. We Ashe is a native North
Car0linian, born and reared in Raleigh,
and received his education at Chapel
HILL After graduating from the Uni
versity of North Carolina in 1891, he
went to Cornell University and took a
full course in Biology, Botany, Forestry,
etc Mr.. Ashe is a son of Captain Sam
uel Ashe now of Raleigh, but formerly
of Wilmington.
Mr.. Ashe was appointed to the posi-
ton Of Forester for the State Geological
Survey in 1892, and has held this posi-
ton ever since.
That Mr.. Ashe is eminently qualified
for the position ne holds is amply evil
denced by the many important commits
sions he has held from the United
States Government for special duties
along his immediate line of work. He
is now on n tour of the United States
collecting specimens of forestry for the
government exhibit at the Paris Expo
sition. MIR. Ashe will tour the entire
Western States and probably Alaska i'll
making his selections for this exhibit
Mr. Ashp has charge of the timber de-
partment of the Stale Geological Sur
vey, and has prepared several works OH
forestry, the timber lands of the State,
forest fires, their origin, etc. He has
discovered a great many new specimens
in botany, and has classified great deal
Of timber that has never before been
classified.
Mr. Ashe has perhaps one of the finesr
private collections Of rare plants, gath
cred from all over the world, and every
variety from this State.
In all he has 1900 varieties. So
thoroughly equipped and qualified for
this particular lire Of work is Mr. Ashe
and his success is such MS 20 nave at
tracted the attention Of the authorities
ut Washington, that he has therefore re-
ceiyed numerous special appointments
to execute important commissions for
the United States Agricultural Depart
ment and the United States Geological
Survey.
Mr. Ashe is one Of the ablest and most
promising young men in public life in
the State today, and has very brilliant
future before him. Much of the develop
ment OF the States timber interests is
largely due to his efforts, and he is
prosecuting a purpose which will most
unquestionahly reguH in great material
benefits to the State at large.

resigned his position in the fall OF 1898,
to take a Post Graduate course in chem

State Beard Of Agriculture, is one from
DR. Morse, Professor Of Analytical
Chemistry at the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, in which he speaks very highly
of this brilliant young mans abilities
and his special qualifications for Agri-
cultural Chemical work.
In June, of this year. the Board of
Agriculture elected Mr.. Allen to the
place he now holds. Mr.. Allen is a

served at Tutor in Greek and History
of this institution the year after his
graduation; was elected the next year
as professor of Greek and History and
served in this capacity until his election
by the people to the office Of State SUI
perintendent Of Public Instruction. He
does not believe in taking partisan poll
tics into the educational work, and hence
remained at his duty as professor in the
college and never entered the political
campaign of 1896 nor any other political
campaign.

volume of water in all of the more inn
portant rivers and the report of nearly
four hundred pages has been printed,
giving all of the data accumulated con-
corning the volume of power and their
various streams. This report is extreme
~ valuable on account of the fact that
North Carolina is securing constantly
many new manufacturing enterprises,
and this work gives conclusive evidence
where such may locate whose desire is
to use water as a motive power.
Mr. Holmes is an ardent advocate of
his work. He is one of the original
Fellows of the American Geological So
ciety, and a member of number of
other Scientific Societies. The offices
anu rooms of the State Geological De
partment are located at Chapel Hill,
where Mr. Holmes resides
In 1887 Mr., Holmes married Miss j..
: Sprunt of Wilmington, and this union
has been blessed with three children.
He is a member of and an elder in the
Presbyterian Church. In politics lie Is
an ardent Democrat, and has never
voted any other than Democratic
ticket.
The Geological Department of the
State is one of the most important, us
the above indicates. and it may be said
in all candor that it is filled by a man
whose intense interest in the work
makes him valuable adjunct to the de-
velopmeut Of the States interests in this
particular line.
Personally Mr. Holmes Is an ener-
getic progressive man. of retiring ma
ture, who avoids publicity, preierring
