The cutting down of those fine trees
that shaded the road between Maiden
and Alpine, is to be regretted. IL IS
one of the loveliest drives in the Judith,
range in the summer season. A little
public spirit and enterprise would have
protected them from the AK we do
not believe there was any necessity
for their cutting. The time may come
when their value as lumber would be
trihing compared to their majestic
beauty as shade trees. Some men have

PERMANENT FOREST RESERVATION.

A bill has been introduced in the
Senate, by Edmunds, setting apart
5000 square miles in Montana, for a
permanent forest reservation, at the
head-waters of the Missouri and the
Clarks Fork of the Columbia. We
hope the bill is introduced for other
than political purposes, and being
fathered by Senator Edmunds, would
indicate otherwise. With the rapid de
velopment Of mining interests, and the
increase of population, the forests of
Montana will soon be depleted. 1t is
probably necessary and far more feast
bic to protect what timber we have than
to successfully raise more by planting.
It is doubtful whether hard wood tim
Der can be raised on our soil, and
if not, the native bull pine and fir
would have to be relied upon.
So far as fuel is concerned, there is
no doubt but coal will in a few years
be substituted for wood, altogether, for
the former is being discovered as
rapidly as the latter disappears. Still,
the use of our native pine for building
purposes, is of the utmost importance,
and if some steps are not taken by the
general government to protect and
renew our forests, all of our lumber
will have to be imported, At present
the Judith mountains have an abund-
ance of timber, but the building of
several quartz mills and the demand
for fuel would soon exhaust the supply.
The ravages of fire and strong winds
in this range are sadly apparent, millions
of trees, with their dry and withered
branches, standing erect and pros
trated, bearing evidence of rough hand
ling by the elements. With a little
effort, the majority of this dead timber
could be secured for fuel, thus preserv-
ing the live and growing timber for
building or mill purposes. But the
woodlands AK takes no thought of
the future, and that which works into
wood the easiest has the preference,
though it takes the whole summer to
season.
