A few years ago when the forests covered
large tracts of territory in Michigan and Wis

which were permitted by their owners to be

thus became the property of the state. But
that time has passed The Michigan and WIS

and they are looking about in other States to
discover hitherto unnyaded timber tracts
which they can purchase. Adirondack forest

these lands The consideration Of the pleSerya-
ton of the water supply OF the Erie Canal, OBJ

Of the canal. The sum Of $500 600 was APP
proDriated by the last Legislature to lengthen
the locks, but not penny for the purchase OF
the forests In the interest of the states West
ern commerce, to preserve the water supply or
the Erie Canal and of the Hudson River, an
appropriation should be made by the next
Legislature which will enable the Forestry
Commission to begin buying the Adirondack
forest lands before the year 1890 ends.
