LUMBERMEN AND PULP MANU-
FACTURERs THE CAUSE.
Resources of That Country Will be
Destroyed With so Years at the
Present Rate.

The forest wealth of Norway is be-
ing rapidly diminished by the savage
assaults of lumbermen and pulp manu-
facturers An expert commission APP
pointed by the government not long
ago made an alarming report showing
that three trees were cut down annual
ly for every one that grew bv nature or
was planted by human hands, aud in
this climate it takes a hundred years
for a pine tree to grow big enough to
furnish a log twenty-five feet long and
ten inches in diameter, which is the
minimum available for the Sawmills.
AT one time Norway was covered with
timber, but the devastation of the for
ests has been goin~ on without inter-
ference since the fourteenth century.
Formerly there was an abundance of
oak in the southern part of the king
dom. Now there is none. All of the
old buildings in southern Norway
erected before the eighteenth century
are of oak from the foundation to the
ridgepole, and an abundance of rich
Old oak furniture is to be found among
the wealthy families. Sometimes rare
pieces are to be seen in the kitchens
of peasants, who cling to them with a
full knowledge of their value and can
not be persuaded to yield to the temp
tations of the curio dealers. The few
ments. That class of timber has prac-
tically disappeared from the trade with
all other hard woods, and the pine and
spruce are going rapidly
1t was shown by the last census that
the standing timber in the kingdom
had been reduced to 6S,179 square miles
or 81 per cent of the entire area, where
as in 1855, SO per cent of the country
was covered with forests. The lumber
men are doing an immense amount of
damage, but the pulp manufacturers
are doing more, because they destroy
the small trees only. There are now in
Norway 1888 sawmills, employing 1908
people, and 1876 pulp mills, employing
1920 people, with at least rs 600 other
persons engaged during the winter
season in stripping the mou.- tains and
turnine the forest land into deliberate
wastes. They take everything. The
big trees go to the sawmills and the
little ones to the pulp factories. 1t is
estimated that within the next half
century the timber resources CT Nor
way will be practically exhausted at
the present rate of destruction.-Chi
