Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-The fol
lowing correspondence relating to the
furlough and resignation of Mr.. A. A
Anderson, recently an inspector in the
Yellowstone forest reserve, Wyoming,
doubtless will be of interest. The cor
respondence, consisting of a letter from
Mr.. Anderson to Forester Clifford Pin
chot and Mr.. Pinchot's response, is as
follows:
Eighty West Fortieth street.
New York City, Dec. 2S, 1905.
MY Dear Mr.. Pinchot:-On my re-
turn from Wyoming last autumn, l
asked for a furlough until the coming
spring.
Il now fear that it will be impossi-
BILE for me to resume my accustomed
field work at hat time. Some four
years ago, at your request, l took up
forestry work, and since then have
given almost my entire time TO my
duties as forestry officer. This has
necessitated the neglect of my private
interests, my art, ETC., and as the field
work required my presence upon the
reserve during five or six months OF
each year, l have during those periods
necessarily been separated from my
family. AS my wife's health is in such
a condition at to require treatment
abroad, l do not consider the present
condition of the Yellowstone forest re
serve necessities further sacrifice of
this nature.
THE reserve has been extended, its
boundaries definitely settled, its patrol
service fully organized, and the crea-
ton of a game preserve south of the
park insures protection to the large
game of that region; but what is OF
far more Importance, the transfer of
the forestry bureau to the department
of agriculture has been effected Ito
which end, as you know, l s~trenuously
labored), thereby placing all forestry
matters in your able hands.
owing to the fact of the recent mar
riage of our only child, l find it quite
imperative hat l should accompany
my wife to Europe the coming summer
as my daughter, having taken up her
residence in California, will be unable
to go abroad with her mother.
In view OF these facts, and with the
sincerest regrets at being obliged to
discontinue the %congenial work in con-
nection with yourself by severing my
relations with the forestry department,
and feeling that | should give you time
ly notice of my intentions, l hereby
place my resignation in your hands, to
be acted upon at your convenience.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) "A A. ANDERSON.
Hon. Clifford Pinchot,
Forester, Washington, L, C."

Some date, however, must be fixed for
the sake of the record, and | shall ac.
cordingly recommend to the secretary
of agriculture the acceptance of your
resignation to take effect upon the list
of March.
with high appreciation OF the good
hard work you have done (hard work
which has been to you a source of ex-
pense, not of revenue)' and with all
good wishes for the future, believe me,
Very sincerely yours,

Senator G%allinger of New Hampshire

Washington, D. c., Jan. Ex-senator
Gallinger today presented to the SEN
ate the report of the wal department
on the need of more transports to
move the army in cas- of trouble in
our possessions or with an outside
power. The report is somewhat
startling. 1t shows that every ship
on the Pacific would not be sufficient
to move the troops were they quickly
called for, and that there are not
enough American ships on the Atlantic
for a similar service. Foreign shipping
could not be drawn upon in time OF
war. The report shows that the pres
ent condition reveals a fatal weak

Mr.. A. A. Anderson, so West Fortieth
St, New York, n. Y.
my Dear Mr.. Anderson:-On my
return to Washington l find Your let
ter of December 2S, in which you ten
der your resignation. During the four
years of your work in forestry o
have, as you justly observe, given up
almost YOU entire time to that work,
and you add that Mrs. Anderson's
health, and your daughters marriage
will make it necessary for you to go,
abroad for the coming summer.
First of all, l want to express my
great appreciation of the personal sac
rifce you have made in order to do
your forest work, and of the service
you have rendered to the Yellowstone
forest reserve, and hence to the peo-
pie of wyoming who live in its neigh
borhood. Two years ago l mad coca
sion personally to investigate the COM
plants made against your administr.'
ton of the reserve, and to learn some
thing from my own observations both
of the puerile and often unconfessed
reasons which lay behind many OF the
complaints, and of the high character
of the force of supervisors and rangers
which you had organized. The whole
reserve Is in immensely better n
ton than it was when you took hold of
it, and it gives me great pleasure to
testify to that fact.
"Since you were furloughed, at your
own request, on returning from the
field, al the end of the summers work,
and since you do not propose to re-en'
tier active service, it does not matter
when your resignation takes effect
