State Senator Lesh speaks some words
Of undoIhtea wisdom In an interview
IN this mornings Post-Inteiligencer. For
many years the advocates of scientific
forestry were laughed at In the East.

ed 70 the fact that the destruction OF
forests means many kinds OF untold
evil and damage. New York Is buying

ard new forests are being hastily plant
ed
IL has been demonstrated that naviga-
ton on the Upper Hudson river has been
made impossible purely because OF the
destruction OF the protecting forests.
The remedy Is being applied with a Wig
orous hand. We certainly have no valid
reason for not probing by these excel
lent examples Though We now seem In
the full enjoyment OF unlimited forest
wealth, we should not pass UNDECIDED

the lessons being taught by Eastern
states and European nations.
Another very pleasant phase OF the
forestry question Is presented by Mr.
C. w. Bean. state superintendent Of

II 10 interesting to observe that the tin

Is making fair progress In the United
States For the quarter ending March q
last the total production OF tin and terne
plates In ali forms was 4o.42s 300 pounds.
ana for the quarter ending June 30. 4s.274.-
i& pounds Seventy-two per cent was
made from sheets rolled In this country.
Forty manufacturers reported for the last
quarter against thirty-sfx for the former.
This shows a very satisfactory rate of In
crease In production and gives assurance
that before many years we shall be quite
independent OF Wales for cur supply Of
tin-plate. Our enormous canning industry
will be benfited thereby, as we shall make
1t OF better quality and for less price
than the imported article.
