FROM CHAIRMAN SCHOLARSHIP
FUND.
Ny Dear Mrs. Trego:
] wonder If / am late for you
New Years edition. / would like t.
call the attention Of each member Of
the Forestry committee to the neel
Of education on this subject.
Let us ask for one day during this
years work, for the study Of forestry
The papers and magazines are full oil
it. We have world OF material with
which to thoroughly inform our
selves.
Then let us at once, write to
Senator'S Hepburn and Borah and
Representative French to vote against
Cannon as speaker. 1t will of course,
be Of little use with our senior SEN
ator, but let us inform him where we
stand.
This forestry question will have a
great deal of opposition in the next
few years. Let us know why we
favor 1t. Senator Dolliver says in a
speech in favor of appropriations:
Il have made practical study as
traveller and observer of our own
country, not only of what has hap
pened to us in the past, but Of what
is now happening to us in the present
day. l have travelled as a patient
student of the forestry question over
the burned districts OF Wisconsin,
Northern Michigan and Northern
Minnesota and have seen spread out
there, where every man could read it,
an Indictment against our wisdom,
and prudence as statesmen and law
which would convict us be-
before the public opinion of the whole
world.
l, for one do not want to see that
that crime against mankind,
repeated in the Rocky mountain re-
slon, and ! am glad that on the
Pacific Coast and in the intermoun-
tain region, men have come forward
% speak in the senate and In the
house with a far-sighted vision, not
'nly of these days of which we are a
'art, but of times, after we have
PASSED off this scene of action"
Now few words about the Loan
scholarship fund. AS you saw in
echoes, the v. I. S. of Idaho Falls
ubscribed $25.0O, Mrs. Frank r.
'ooding $50, Mrs. Cleave of Poca-
clio $40, Mrs. Gallet of Pocatello SIS.
ut the New Year is upon us and we
s yet have not reached the $1,000
mark.
AT our state meeting in Moscow,
ach club was to be urged to give at
east IS and as much as possible, but |
re shall be very pleased to have each
Tub give the S., as this fund must
OF be allowed to become burden on
ne clubs. Three applications have
cen granted this year and another
as arrived. The young men are re-
aging their loans as fast as posi- !
lie.
VIII each club president consider {
lis personal letter. You will great I
lessen my work by so doing. III
lall expect to be deluged by letters '
the next two weeks.

Chairman.
