the information of students: The only
position in this bureau open to those
( whose training in forestry is incOm-

The field work required Of student as
! sistants is severe and mOnotOnous and
often entails hardships. They usually
live in camp and are required TO keep
umbermen's hours. Cheerful obedience
to orders is required. No student is re-
tanned who shows a desire TO sh.Tk
work He must be prepared to COM
bine severe mental work with severe
bodily labor under conditions which
\ make each one peculiarly trying. Those
appointed TO the position of student as
i sistant in the bureau must Fealize fully
j that they are not attending a summer
school.
The head Of the party is willing, in so
far as it does not interfere with his
own duty. TO explain forestry matters
to the men under his charge but he
has no time to deliver lectures or to
give formal instruction Of any kind.
The student assistant must pay his own
way to the field Of his iabors and. his
salary is to consist of SIS per month.

i Thomas F. Walsh. the millionaire
Colorado mine owner, is at the present
time expanding upwards Of a million
dollars IN Washington real estate. In
addition to his home, now building on
Massachusetts, avenue, which when

, Notwithstanding his great wealth, Mr..

. men in washington. I saw him riding
down town this morning in street

in working clothes. who evidently was
employed in the work connected with
Mr.. Walsh's building operations. I
: noticed as Mr.. Walsh left the car that
: he was on familiar terms with the con
u ductOr and spoke a few words pleas
antly with him about some matter
+ they seemed to have in common. Mr.
= Walsh says he finds his greatest en-
: ioyment in being invited to some Of
3 the informal gatherings of Washington
~ newspaper correspondents. where the
entertainment consists Of a modest
. menu Of refreshments, but plenty of
good stories, bright sayings and spark
