Forresting Movement in Pennsylvania.

Governor Stone is strongly in
favor of preserving the forests OF
this state and has announced that
he will do all in his power to sup
port all efforts in that direction. In
an interview with DR.. J. 7. Roth
rock. the State Forestry Commits
sioner, Gov. Stone said
"Our trouble is the lack of funds.
This land can be purchased in
many sections of the state for about
one dollar an acre, and DR.. Roth
rock has options on tracts to the
extent of ninety thousand acres but
there is no money in the State
Treasury available for this purpose
AS a matter of fact, the treasury is
still about three millions behind.
would be very glad to authorize the
purchase of these tracts for reserv-
alton purposes, but under the cir
cumstarces it is hardly possible to
do anything.
There has been an Improvement
III the finances during the past few
months, but l can scarcely see my
way clear to an approval of a hun
dred dollars at this time for even so
important a thing as the reserv-
ations.
No one can apprec late more than
do the great necessity of protect
ing Our forests and providing for
the future by establishing large res
ervations. Land will never be
cheaper than at present, and the
purchase on behalf of the state of
these large tracts of mountain land
would be money wisely expended.
Perhaps we can do something after
the financial condition of the COM
monwealth has been improved"
Governor Stone after the confer
ence with DR.. Rothrock authorized
a call for a meeting of the Board of
Public Property, which will consid-
er the purchase of the land in view.
DR.. Rothrock is firmly convinced
that Pennsylvania must do some
thing and do it quickly to preserve
not only its woodland, but also its
water supply. 1t is cnly necessary
to travel through the mountain re-
glons of the state to discover how
much devastation has been wrought
through the wholesale cutting of
timber and the waste of forest fires.
Governor Stcne has given DR..
Rothrock to understand that he will
stand shoulder to shoulder with him
in promoting the woodland idea.
1t is not the purpose Of the For
estry Commissioner to prevent fish
ing and hunting on State lands,
but he will make a strong effort to
prevent the starting of fires, which
have destroyed so many acres of
timberland. He has caused to be
posted on all lands owned by the
Commonwealth the following
notice This land:belongs to the
State of Pennsylvania. Destruction
or removal of timber or ocher prop
erty is forbidden. Lawful hunting
and fishing are allowed, but fires
must not be started"

We have it from the best author
ity that the Colo. Fuel G. Iron Co,
is negotiating for the B. w. Lewis
iron deposit on the Cebolla. The
demands for steel and iron pro-
ducts are so heavy that notwith-
standing the fact that the company
has recently added several new
iron mines to its list of producers,
it is still unable to fill its orders.
While we would be glad to see
these deposits opened and produc-
ton started, we would rather see
other companies take hold of them
that would put in reduction works
either here in Gunnison or near
the mines, as the Fuel & Iron Co.,
would no doubt ship the crude ore
to their Pueblo works. Champion.
