AN ESTABLISHED PROFESSION.

Forestry may then be considered as an
established profession in the United
States. Hundreds OF young men are con
sidcring it as a life vocation and are
eager to be informed regarding the char
acter Of the work involved. the elements
necessary for success. the requirements
for An adequate training, the present ana
probable future opportunities for work
and its possibilities as means OF hNeh-
hood II is to answer these questions
that this article was planned.
As a livelihood forestry offers two diff
ferins fields Of work-public and private.
BY public" is meant work Tor either the
individual state OF tho government al
Washington; by private" is meant pTi-
vatc estates or reserves. companies ana
corporations having timberlands 10 be

eminent employ there are In the neigh
borhood OF 1000 men. with various du-
ties ranging from supervisors to guards
and hunters and with salaries varying
from S. 700 to 500 per annum. The sala-
ries Of assistant supervisors vary from
81. l0l to 600. of forest examiners from
81 600 to 500. and Of rangers from -"
ia 81 no The salaries OF the state for
esters range from 500 to $500 ana
those of their assistants are about one
half these figures. But II Is 10 the posi-
tons offered by private enterprises that
the young foresters must look for their
best pay. Private forestry oilers the
broadest field to the trained forester anu

pocted to make tho greatest expansion IN
tho future. Private owners may be lum-

THE LAST DECADE.

Although during the last decade for
estry has developed with remarkable
rapidity and the Inauguration Of forest
management on the national forests. the
activity of various states IN public Tor
estrv and the increasing interest Of pri-
vate owners i'm timber growing and pro-
lection have resulted in marked demand
for trained foresters, the work In this
country has but just begun. The Yale
Forestry School the largest of its kind
has approximately only ZOO graduates
and there are only 5000 graduates ana
students in the United States who are in
active work in the national, the state and
the private forestry interests
When active forestry work was first
begun i'm this country, as there were no
forestry schools here, those electing TO
enter upon this work were obliged to go
10 Europe for their technical training
This spurred a number OF progressive IN
stitutions to esta blish schools OF forestry
before the demand of satisfactory num-
Der OF students had been assured. Inc
first professional school to be established
was orened at Cornell University in 1879
Two years later the Yale Forest School
followed As far back as 1897 private
school in forestry was in operation at
Riltuore. y. c., with Or. Carl AlWlh
Schenk Din connection with his work on
the Vanderbilt estate). and a school ior
rangers was inaugurated at Mont Alto

time, we are using six times as much tim

and our forests are producing about one
third as much an acre. The hardwood

T. { & . & Z j.
Albany, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE report
of the Frawley legislative committee
charging Governor Sulzer with having
diverted campaign contributions to
his own private use was adopted by

conduct in Office aud for high crimes
and misdemeancrs" was offered in
the assembly by Majority Leader Levi.
Never in the history of the state
has her chief executive been i'm

The fight in the senate over the
adoption of the report was brief, the
session lasting but forty-fiTe minutes.
Governor Sulzer heard the news
over the telephone. He made no
comment
Before the sun sets today he will
be impeached, the majority leaders as
sert.
The conclusions of the Frawley
committee, embodied in its report to
the legislature are that Governor Sui
zer falsified under oath his campaign
contribution account, diverted some
of these contributions to the purchase
of stock, speculated in stock at the
time that, as governor, he was earn
