TI-IE I932 JUNIOR FIELD TRIP J. P. BROWN, '34. SUNDAY, MAY 22. Up at six a. m., as the modern Pepy would say, and as happy with expectancy as a little boy with a brand new red wagon. All this was in preparation for the junior class field trip to the Northern Rocky Mountain Forest Ex- periment Station near Priest River, northern Idaho. Those assembled for the trip were Ralph Ahlskog, Rudolph Benson, J. P. Brown, Loyd Burnett, John Cook, Kenneth Daniels, Jack Frederic, Corland James, Merton Kuhn, Paul Larsson, Paul Martin, Lawrence New- comb, Robert Opie, Theo. Raide, and Chas. Wellner and accompanied by Floyd Otter and A. M. Sowder of the forest school faculty. We left Moscow at 9:10 a. m., almost on schedule. The cavalcade consisted of Bud Daniel's open air taxi which accommodated the tractor gang, and the University truck which took care of the remainder of the juniors, including Ahlskog who occupied the floor. Bud Daniel's car stopped at St. Maries at Benson's home so arrived at the station a triiie late. The truck was right on schedule for the evening meal. Doings of the five tractor guys in the open air taxi after we left them at St. Maries is not available for publication, but it is known that they can identify the taste of sandwiches bought from any lunch counter between St. Maries and Priest River. Even then Paul Larsson insisted on eating supper when he ar- rived at the station several hours late. MONDAY, MAY 23. Up at seven a. m. after a very unrestful night. The writer, who is possessed with that lightning-like Arkansas swiftness, being the last one to bed was requested by Prexy New- comb to turn out the gas light. In some man- ner or means his pajamas disappeared as the light was going out. As a result all the beds in the east end of the bunkhouse were searched, but the pajamas were still nil. In the morning the pajamas were found at the top of the flag pole fluttering in the wind like brilliant butter- Hies. This day the juniors covered the station grounds, the buildings and improvements be- ing explained by John B. Thompson, the resi- dent ranger. All the buildings were investi- gated, under, over, and on the sides from the gas house to Woods Ohicen which, by the way, is the only building at the station built accord- ing to blue prints. The juniors are now well grounded in the knowledge of the moment of force required in frost heaving to move a tamarack block from under a building. The afternoon was spent in a hike to Crow's Nest Lookout and along the fire break on the ridge south of the experiment station. After supper a loud noise broke forth from the vicinity of George Jemison's residence. The noise proved to be a charivari for Mr. Jemison, class of '31, and his recent bride, the former Miss Beatrice Gibbs of the University. TUESDAY, MAY 24. Up at seven a. m. after another pajamaless night for the whole party. Mr. Jemison ex- plained to the boys the experimental work he is conducting in inflammability studies. In the afternoon we discovered there existed more instruments for measuring weather than we could count. P. S.: Benson, James, Daniels, and Brown are still minus their pajamas. WEDNESDAY, MAY 25. Prexy,' Newcomb wants to know how all the gravel from the road happened to be in his bed last night. Benson's recreation was get- ting votes for white papers, even though John Cook had a majority for brown papers. Mr. I. T. Haig showed us a thing or two, in fact several things about silviculture. Mr. Sowder blossomed forth this morning minus that mourning bow tie. Maybe it changed his luck, he crossed every footlog today without falling in the creek. Through his iniiuence, Cook has all the non-smokers to perjure themselves by voting for brown papers. P. S.: Bribery did it. THURSDAY, MAY 26. Went up on the Kaniksu National Forest where Floyd Cossitt, another alumnus of the Idaho School of Forestry, showed us how hem- lock is being disposed of and later some new planted areas. We found a deer that had just recently been killed by a Cougar. Last night's baseball game was umpired by Loyd Burnett. Burnett says that since his eyesight deterio- rated he has quit playing baseball and taken up umpiring. FRIDAY, MAY 27. Fought mosquitoes and tried to select seed trees. Newcomb's spiked topped tr-ees did not seem to be the proper things. Our baseball game tonight included such notable players as Messrs. Home Run Koch, Four Base Weid- man, and Fan 'em Out Watts from the Re- gional Office at Missoula. SATURDAY, MAY 28. Determined the distance of seed dispersion from the Knoll Plots. Visited the se-ed extrac- tory at Falls Ranger Station. On the way back to the station we took Priest River by storm. SUNDAY, MAY 29. It is rumored that about seven juniors visit- ed the dance at Blue Lakes last night. VVent up Priest Lake to Beaver Creek Ranger Sta- tion. The Tyee and Captain Markham's tales will long be remembered. Dad Fred- eric can repeat all of the stories with extras added. fContinuecl on page 521 31

30 THE IDAHO FORESTER On the Clecwivater Field Trip more than two hundred thousand men, and that it would help the farmer and the com- munity, but that if sucha program was to be a success it must be based on careful planning. Two accordion solos fthe toastniaster called the instrument a stomach Steinwaynj by Her- man Daughs, a member of the Associated For- esters, furnished entertainment and diversion, and were rewarded by rousing applause. Mr. G. F. Jewett, Manager of Potlatch For- ests Inc., Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and the last speaker of the evening, spoke on Forest Tax- ation. Forest taxation is one of the major problems of the timber industry. Present sys- tems of taxation prohibit private timber own- ership. Mr. Jevvett declared that taxation confiscates white pine in twenty years, and that the private owner must liquidate in a few years' time. Forest liquidation is an im- portant factor in glutting timber markets. At- H tention was called to the importance of this to educational institutions which receive an in- come from timber sales. At present the only way out of this situation is for the government to acquire all timber. He said that as forest- ers and citizens we could render real service to our communities and to the state by giving them a clear picture of this situation. Private ownership can be maintained only by some form of sales tax or yield tax. - And so ended the Seventeenth Annual Ban- quet, declared to be as interesting, as full of the spirit of good will and fellowship, as ap- pealing to the sense of taste, and with the bonds which unite foresters and those inter- ested in forestry woven stronger than ever by the feeling that we sponsor a great and worthy cause, that we can and will Down the Depressionf' MOUNTAIN TOP THOUGHT STANLEY Foss BARTLETT God, niay I never weaken so I shall be bound to levels lowg Whevi I shall lack the strength to climb A peak, with step attuned to rhyme, And cannot 'mount where winds sweep high I think that I shall want to die. When last I scale CL cloudy crest Then let me tarvcy there to rest- There in the blue aloof from cares, Above thc 'much of nien's ajfairs, Beyond the cursed desire for pelf, Outside the sonallness of myself- Thus niongst any fellows may I live, And die when I have naught to give.
