The Canada Lumberman says that
the Dominion crown lands depart
ment, at the late Toronto sale of
limits, disposed of the last timber
berths remaining to the government
north of the Georgian bay to a
distance three or four miles north
of Lake Nipissing. This entire
section is now in the hands of oper-
ators who have already cut off a
large portion of the pine, so that
not more than 3 per cent of the
original growth remains, according
to the estimate of the journal
quoted. To the north of this area
there remains no more than what
may be called fringe Of Canada's
once great pine reserves, and very
struggling fringe it is, containing
little timber equal in size and quail
ity to what has been cut. The pro-
vince of Quebec is still more de-
pleted. For this reason the con-
clusion is reached that the prices
obtained at the late sale, high as
they have been regarded, were
scarcely equal to what conditions
should seem to justify. Our Can
adam contemporary, as is usual
with those who publicly understated
the amount that will actually be cut
off, but it is probable that, at the
rate Michigan men are going in for
Georgian bay timber, the end will,
within two or three years, be in
sight. In any event, it is evident
that the day of excessively cheap
Canada stumpage has passed. Hold
ings are getting into strong and
capable hands, the new owners
having mill capacity and ample
financial backing, with wide mar
ket in which to dispose Of their
as well as disposition to
push operations. The result can
be plainly forecast.

San Francisco Market Review.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-The fruit market
is still depressed. Oranges are drug ON the
market, despite the fact that arrivals during
the past few days were moderate Cherries are
arriving more freely, and prices are standing
off accordingly. Strawberries continue in good
demand, and prices are well sustained. The
dried fruit market is very sluggish, and en-
quiry entirely confined to peaches and april
cots. rs
The vegetable market enjoyed considerable
activity for early stuff, and prices were steady.
Onions and asparagus are both frmer. A small
lot of early rose potatoes, In boxes, was in the
market.
Dairy produce is without any material
change. Butter remains steady, at quotations;
the packing course pursued by both dairymen
and dealers.
Eggs, both store and ranch, are in excessive
supply.

incident in the history of the mackerel
ever since the settlement of the country,
and at times when fishing for it was con-
Quoted upon so small scale that it can
not be believed to have had any material
influence upon the abundance of this
species. Also, within the present cen
fury, 1888 to 1915, when the primitive
method of hook and line fishing was the
only one extensively in vogue, mackerel
declined in abundance to such an extent
that in few years, from extreme plenty
they became remarkably scarce. mas
much as the general fishing for mackerel
has not affected the abundance of the
species, it cannot be supposed that the
comparatively small quantities taken in
the bays of New England would have any
appreciate influence. This would seem
to have bearing upon the much vexed
question which agitates our own fisher
men in regard to seining in our bays.
Upon this point, however, Mr.. Mcdonald
is not quite clear, so he says that the
effect upon local fisheries of any whole
sale method of capture of mackerel would
have to be studied in each locality indie
pendently in order to reach such conclu-
sions as would serve as a basis of wise
legislation.

To the Editor of the Press:
Victor Hugo in his Napoleon lie Petit
apostrophises useful citizens in this
fashion:
Here is the wheelwright; what is his work !?
He makes wheels, carts, carriages of many
fashions, and turns his hand to any useful occu-
patton. He and his trade are indispensable to
the public good. Salute the wheelWright as a
useful man in the community; a public bene-
factor.
Here is the weaver, what is his work? He
makes cloth of many kinds to supply an impera-
tive want of the people, his trade is indispensa-
BILE to civilized community he is good citi-
zen. Let us salute the weaver.
Here is the blacksmith; what is his work I?
He makes plOws and harrows; he makes tools
of many kinds indispensable to workers in
other trades, without whom carts, plowS, har-
rows and weaver's looms could not be used
The blacksmith is a most useful and honored
member of society. Let us salute him.
Here is the schoolmaster; what is his work !?
He trains the youth to be good citizens, good
members of society. When grown to be men
and women they are qualified to discharge faith
fully their duties to society; to respect the
rights of others while defending their own re-
speeding the law by which only men can obtain
their rights and by which only personal, civil.
and religious liberty can be secured, That's
the work Of the schoolmaster. Let's take off

A law of the State which has been put
upon the statute books within a few
years, requires that one of the board of
railroad commissioners shall be a prac-
teal railroad man. Neither Colonel
Wildes nor Mr.. Mortland is such, hence
it must follow that the range of choice
in selecting Mr.. Bowers's successor must
be limited. This law was passed during
Mr.. Bowers's first term, and when he was
candidate for reappointment year ago
last winter it was thought it would de-
feat him. But his friends urged that
his experience and study during his term
of Office had made him practical rail
road man, and he was reappointed. This
seems to have been very liberal construc-
ton of the law which could never again
