There has recently been established
at Yale university a professorship that
Is significant of a marked change of
sentiment in the United States touch
Ing a preservation Of our forest areas.
This Is the endowing with $4,000
worth of lumber company bonds a
chair Of applied forestry and practical
numbering. The innovation seems to
have special significance in view of
the fact that the endowment for the
new chair Is furnished by class who
IN the past more than all others COM
bined have been responsible for the
deplorable and almost complete denud-
ing OF the forest areas Of the country.
Much good should come from the es-
adjustment Of such professorship,
and other colleges should follow the
lead Of the Yale school.

The Prospector.

The prospector of the many localities of the west
is Quitting for the hills to pursue again his
summers vocation, digging in the mountains for the
long looked for ledge trying his luck on some new
spot which appeals to him account of its geologi
cal formation
For many years the hills and mountains of Idaho
have brought abundant rewards to many prospectors
and each the rich gold, silver, lead or copper
respond to the music of pick and shovel in the hands
of faithful persistent old prospector and his
1ifes dream is reality. Not alone is he the happy
financial beneficiary of years of toll and Industrious
prvaton but great rich communities fall heir to the
blessings which his "strike" presents Mills and fac
tories follow in quick succession power is DEVELOPED
and great tunnels extended and large forces of men
and women find honest employment, all to the up
building of new communities of this great growing
commonwealth.
Each camp in the west has it's interesting story to
tell and invariably it traces back to some sturdy
determined prospector of force and persistence who
worked during the long summer and laid BY in the
winter, finally to strike the ledge and step iovfu1v
forth exchanging the title of prospector for that of
mine owner.
The Scinitar extends its hearty good wishes to the
proSpector of the Gem state and ardenty hopes that
many rich mines may result from the toll and de-
voton of this seasons effort expended in his accented
vocation.

that such reinstatement should not hnaiiy
