THE MINSTRELS A GPEA.T SUCCESS.

Nothing hut praise is heard for the performance of M A C ' s min­strels given at the armory last Sat­urday evening. When the curtain rose at 8:05 every seat in the house was rilled, which insured the affair as a Financial success as far as the athletic association and band were concerned. As the program went on, the appreciation of the audience, expressed by the applause, clearly showed the success of the produc­tion from that standpoint.

The first part, with the end men in white, the chorus in dress suits and the orchestra in the background in red uniform, consisted of a num­ber of solos and ducts interspersed with end men jokes. Many local hits were included and the spirit of fun and good nature in which these were given and taken showed M. A. C. not lacking in true college spirit.

T h e second part was entitled " A Nigh t at the Bijou," and consisted of a number of specialties. It would be very difficult to pick the favorites on the program, but proba­bly the burlesque on Uncle Tom's Cabin with Octy as little Eva, caused as much laughter as any­thing on the bill. T h e whole per­formance went off without a hitch, and a great deal of credit is due to every man on the program and to all of those who assisted in making the show a success, Such things, if carried out right, all help in de­veloping the best kind of commu­nity feeling and spirit, and we trust that M. A . C.'s minstrels will tour this section of the country again next year.

ENGINEERING SOCIETY.

Last Tuesday evening Mr. W. S. Saver, at present connected with the bacteriological department, ad­dressed the Engineering Society upon the subject. - W a t e r Purifica­tion for Commercial Purposes.." The process of water purification i-becoming a prominent feature in ra;iroa"d engineering practice, where pure water is necessary for good boiler practice. The process is divided into two classes, the removal of suspended matter and the re­moval of dissolved matter. The re­moval of suspended matter is ob­tained either by allowing the matter to olle-'t as a sediment, or by add-

,, .. '' smiea) tc cardie the su^ pended matter and allow filtrating.

Dissolved matter is found in all wa'er. but when so extensive as to be injurious to the boiler, the re­moval involves a different problem for the chemist. Water may be clear, tasteless, yet troublesome to the boiler.

The principle involved is to change the soluble to insoluble. T in impurities generally found in water are carbonates of lime and magne­sia, which are held in solution by an excess of carbon dioxide. Anv chemical that will absorb this excess of carbon dioxide will cause precipi­tation of these impurities. Carbo­nate of soda, or soda-ash, known as compounds, are used to cause the precipitation.

Notice is here given that sopho­more engineers are eligible to active membership. All sophomores de­siring to join the society may pre­sent their names to any member who will see that they are brought before the society.

Y. W. C A.

Perhaps one of the most inter­esting meetings of the Y . W . C. A. held this year wras the one led by Miss Koch last Thursday evening. She took as her bible lesson I Cor. 13, and read " T h e Vision of Sir Launfal," while Miss Coe played appropriate music. Miss Raynor sang a solo, and a number was given by a quartet consisting of Misses Allen, Bates, Raynor and Koch.

Prof. Taft 's family will occupy the house recently vacated by Prof. Smith.

card catalogue of all students who have ever been connected with the college. In order that this may be kept up to date, please notify us of any change of address or occupation.

Oregon, team in the Pacific Coast League, and i> among their most popular placers; In an editorial it says : "Pinnance caught on with the fans, who wen with him from the jump.

The M. A. C. RECORD.

REFORESTATION IN THE UPPER PENINSULA OF

MICHIGAN.

An Address Given by Thomas B. Wy-man, Forester for the Cleveland Cliffs

Iron Co., Before the Forestry Club.

'Cont inued from hist w v k . t In 1906 a small nursery was es­

tablished at one of the Company's woojd-chopping camps add various experimental plantations have been made, including white, Scotch and Norway p ine ; Norway, white and black spruce : balsam, native, Caro­lina and Norway poplar and black locust. The white and Norway pines and Norway spruce are the more successful plantings- and for the large t rad of land—clear-cut by the furnace department of our com­p a n y — k n o w n as the Coalwooil tract, the white and Norway pines will unquestionably be the most successful.

This tract is a light loamy sand and has borne a fair stand of hard­woods—maple, beech and birch — overtopped by some of the tincM of t ipper Peninsula white pine. Its soil is of just that class which w ill produce white pine rapidly or the more exacting and slower growing hardwoods very slowly indeed; hence it is advisable to not only shorten the period of rotation as much as possible but to produce the more valuable timber at the same time.

Plans have been drawn and prac­tically approved for the reforesting-of' the entire tract, some fourteen thousand acres, and it is expected that work will be started this spring; This will make one of the largest. if not the largest, --olid plantation in this country.

In addition to this solid tract the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co. will plant anol reinforce main other smaller tracts for utility and beauty. Some immediate planting is planned for' the Munising District in reforesting the hills overlooking the town from which the best of the hemlock was removed several \ ears ago and the-balance lire-killed by the burning of the slash.

W H A T Is NtiW. P L A N N E D .

• There are various advocates of lorestrv and reforestation in the I pper Peninsula, chief of these be­ing the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Com­pany which hopes anol plans to re­forest, either naturally or artificially, such of its lands as arc not suitable for agriculture-

The Calumet and Ilecla Mining Company has been considering the reforesting of its cut-over lands, but at the latest report they had not completed their plans.

The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company is said to have withdrawn all of its lands from the market and that it will soon under­take the raising of tie-timber on its now barren acres.

On the southern slope of the di­vide, in Delta county, the Ever­green Nursery Company, of Stur­geon Bay, Wisconsin, has planned a number of plantations, but the de­tails of these plantings have not yet been given out.

Various small planters have had the matter under consideration, but the dangers from fire are yet too great to tempt the small planter to action. Woodlot planting is not yet called for in the Upper Penin­sula because there is still an abun-ance of virgin forest for firewood

purposes. This feature is bound to be one of great importance within a few years in fact just as soon as our agricultural lands are occupied.

U L T I M A T E R E S U L T S .

There are many reasons why the Upper Peninsula will in time be re­turned to forest conditions. There are all of the familiar ones, need "of fuel—and this will be particularly important on account of the dis­tance from the coal fields—building timber, wind breaks, etc.. but one of the least considered reasons, while being one of the greatest import­ance, is the absolute necessity of maintaining our streams which to­day furnish magnificent, though un­developed, waterpowcr.

1 thoroughly believe that this peninsula will eventually be consid­ered as the portion of the state which can, to the best advantage, be retained in forest. Good timbers are native, the soil is splendidly adapted to the raising of trees, the summers are rather shorter than is generally considered best for farm­ing, the need of timber throughout the stale will be pressing; all points which, taken together with the fact that our industries depend upon the conservation and the development of the forests, makes the adoption of practical forestry methods on a large scale nothing less than obliga­tory.
