vermont's Declining Lumber Indus
try.

The notion that there is no end to
Vermont's lumber resources and that
scientific forestry is impracticable
and unnecessary is rudely dispelled
by Mr.. George F. Wells in the re-
port of the State Board Of Agricul-
turc. Under the heading, 'Forest
Exhaustion," he gives some very in
structive figures concerning the de-
cline of the lumber industry and the
simultaneous decline of many towns
which depended upon it.
Lumber was the first available
economic resource of the state, and
today its harvest is its most impor-
tant single industry. About IS per
cent of the area of the state is
thought to be covered by forests, and
in the lumber industry is invested
nearly twice the capita! placed in
any other, and its product is nearly
twice as large.
There was general growth of
the lumber industry from 1860 to
1890, but since 1890 there has been
marked decline. In 1890 there
were 779 establishments employing
6o5o workmen. The capital in.
vested was $7,7S9,S74 and the value
of the production was $o,95S,674.
In 1900 there We're 6SS establish
ments, with 36a5 workmen, capital
$7,o5I,523, with a production OF
$6,I3I, sos. The mechanical adj
vantages for lumber harvesting are
greater than ever, the demand for
lumber is constantly increasing, so
the conclusion is-that the shrinkage
is due to the beginning of the ex-
haustion of the forests.
Mr.. &. d. Howe, who has re-
Gently made extensive forestry in.
designations throughout Vermont,
knows of IS towns whose forest re-
sources have been seriously cur
tailed, il not exhausted. If the toi
est wealth of lumber town is gone,
little taxable property remains; the
rate Of taxation increases and the
population diminishes.
"When a mountain side is cleared
within short period of time the
power which its soil possesses en-
aiding it to conserve the the water
from heavy rains thus ensuring a
steady and safe drainage is dimin-
ished. The consequences are that
mountain side freshets tear up farm
lands or cover them with debris,
and also wash out and destroy the
highways. Taxation is thus increased
IN an indirect way to an unbearable
extent. The economic status OF
many a Vermont community has
been in this way greatly reduced.
The ever recurring and cleas'ngly
frequent biennia appeals to the
general assembly in the shape OF
bills 'for the relief of the town OF
---' to enable it to repair high
ways damaged by freshets are the
legitimate harvest of an unwise de-
forestation."
Mr.. Wells suggests that 'a method
OF numbering which would maintain
balance between the harvest anc
the growth of forests would keer
many towns from decay And &
little practical application Of simple
forestry principles might prevent
industrial destruction in many sec
tons. Forestry does not do its work
in day, but its utter neglect means
the death of many communities now
at the height of prosperity.

Rounding turn in the path he saw
bit Of sward moon-lighted. In the
center Of this sward stood Miss Pen
rhyn and the Cub. who loomed big
and boyish. The Cub was talking
earnestly; the lady's face was half
averted, but her whole delicious fig
ure seemed to droop and melt toward
him in spite of herself. He took her
hand. She tried weakly to withdraw
it, but he was stronger than she The
Cub went from bad to worse he
drew her toward him; next instant
she was in his arms, apparently con-
tent. her black hair showing against
his flannel blazer.

much more strongly than chit of six

she married him. and regards him
still as quite peerless among men.
