Contributions have been made each

Of the work, and for the past two years
liberal appropriation has been made by
the state board Of education from the
funds of the university. The principal
contributors have made contributions

Senator Clark has three times con-

On the western shore the abrupt rocks

opportunity for study Of the forms OF
life inhabiting the water, as we'll as of
those on land. Fresh water investiga.
lions are of recent origin. and are a re-
suit of the establishment of institutions
as before mentioned. -
Formerly most of the microscopic
study of organisms was confined to
those living in the seas owing to their
great abundance, beauty and variety of
life.s But while the life of fresh water
is not so abundant, not SO interesting,
and not so full of varieties, neverthe-
less this study has revealed many things
of interest and has occupied the atten-
ton of many men for the past fifteen or
twenty years.
No fresh water investigations Of con-
sequence have been made in the North
west. Prof. Forbes, of the University of
Illinois, and Prof. Everman, of the
United States Fish Commission, carried
on some Investigations during the years
1891 and 1892. The report of this study
is given in volume II, Bulletin of the
United States Fish Commission. But
these Investigations were made during
short trip of one season, when stay
at place was short, and without
consecutive work in the same region in
following years.
On looking over the field. the director
of the station decided that there was
abundant opportunity for organizing
v ork in the state, and presenter the plan
to some friends. who Immediately
granted cordial support. Contributions
were sought, and the response was
prompt and satisfactory.

In few days an expedition will start
from Missoula to collect material. The
expedition will spend ten days or two
weeks on the Flathead Indian reserva-
ton, visiting again the mountain lakes
visited last summer, for the purpose Of
datermlning fluctuations or changes in
the microscopic life of the cold waters.
A&&ent will be made of a couple Of the
IN peaks for Alpine forms, and full
equipment will be carried for preserva-
ton of materials.
The party will then collect along Flat
head lake until the station is reached,
when the material in microscopes. books
utensils. ETC., for use at the station will
be unloaded. The expedition will then
go to the lakes and high mountains
above Kalispell, collecting in the noun
tains and valleys until the opening of the
station work, returning in time to get
things in readiness.

of the year when it is a pleasure and
a delight to live in the woods and
hills, have at the station a place where
they may have not only the best OPP
portunity for Intellectual advancement,
but where the best outing is to be had.
The station force is alive to the neces-
sity for giving suitable recreation to
those attending. Few wish to work all
the time. The long summer evenings
may be employed in various ways. There
is excellent fishing in the rapids of Swan
river. Bat.Vng in the lake at most times
is pleasant. The dense woods are full
of birds.

Place for Work.
The object of the station is
to give place for work to
the few people in the state
whose interest and enthusiasm must find
a place where something may be done.
1t offers a haven where annually a few
may congregate, give mutual aid, gather
material in the field, and over a series
Of years make more or less extensive
study of life in its relation to environ
ment.
It also offers place where the young
err students in the state, whether they
have experience or not, may find a place
to work and study, under suitable sur
roundings. and with such aid and inspir-
alton as may be had from those whose
life is given to such work. and who have
no other thought than to advance human
knowledge and to aid those who wish to
prosecute study under such advantages.
There is no expectation of gathering
together a large number. In this sparse

fic studies is not yet on as high plane
as it will be in few years, such thing

Scientists.
The University of Montana Biological
station owes it's existence to the gener-
Gus citizens of the state, largely from
Missoula, who responded to the request
tor funds for the establishment of the
work, and who have shown an interest
in the development Of the resources Of
the state from a scientific standpoint,
while not themselves possessing techni-
cal information in the work proposed.
The biological Investigations made in
the state of Montana thus far have not
been extensive. Various parties from
eastern states, representing scientific
societies, museums, or colleges have
from time to time collected in different
portions of the state, and the collections
have all been removed from the state to
the places represented by the collectors.
Biological stations have arisen in the
interior of America in response to de-
mand on the part of men brought into
the different localities through the or
ganization of state and other educa-
tional institutions. These men must
have something to work at during their
summer months, and must have some
opportunity for carrying ON original
Investigations of some kind.
This is partly in response to the de-
mand made upon men by educational
institutions of today. Most scientific men
are expected to be investigators to some
extent. They must work upon the ma
terial in the field, as to 60 outside is
difficult. and oftentimes impossible.
