ture. Not many years ago that future.
when there might develop a lumber famine,
seemed far off that IL was difficult to
persuade the owners of timber land to take
precautions against fires or to preserve the
young growth, or to cut judiciousiy. Now
that the estimate brings the chance of
scarcity of lumber within the possible ex-
perience of living men 1t Is easier to In
fiuence the judgment of those who control
the forests. Therefore the evident conclu-
sion reached by Mr. Gannett is that the
danger of a lumber famine. condition to
be most seriously dreaded, Is not now i'm
minent.
But while are permitting the trees to
grow and replace those that have been
made into lumber we cannot make coal
grow in the ground. Nor can we manufac-
ture raw iron Meanwhile the demand for
these materials is increasing and the statis-
tIcians are showing signs of anxiety. A
writer in the same issue of the Forum
offers figures to show that the United
States now commands the coal markets of
the world, because it's mines are more ex-
tensive, richer and more easily worked, be-
ing more shallow than those of Europe
This very fact. that we can supply the Eu-
ropean market at a profit, will certainly
tend to increase disproportionately the de-
mand upon our mines and to hasten the
fuel problem to a crisis. Meanwhile. how
ever, the development of water power Is
reassuring to a certain extent. But moth
ing in sight promises to relieve the possi-
bly, early strain upon the iron mines, which
are being relied upon in increasing meas
ure to supply the extraordinary demand
for the manifold forms of manufactured
metal which the worlds industries require
1t is plain that the inventive geniuses of
the next century will find broad scope for
their powers.
