is worth more than all the other hold

We have more than 25,00a,000,00o

worth at least four dollars thousand
on the stump. Then We have millions
OF feet in second growth pine, some OF
which is very large-to say nothing Of

Der which is not yet big enough 10 cut,

In many townships it Is making for its
owners from five to eight per cent. every
year Now, If you will add to these the
vast area of hard woods, many Of which
arevery yaluablefor flooring and cabinet
work, you have a combined valuation
that will nearly pay off the entire gov
eminent debt"
1t is the realization of this fact, says the
New York Sun, that Is leading owners
of forest lands to give more and more
protection from fire to their holdings.
Several of the men who have large hold
ings in wild lands have contributed to
hire men to patrol the woods constant
ly from late In May until the fall rains
set in.
The average pay Of these patroimen
is about $1.50 day and all found.
The outdoor life and the strange
scenes have induced college students
and students of natural history topics
to seek this kind of employment, so
that instead Of having Frenchmen from
Canada or Indians from Old Town on
duty, the fire watch of Maine is CON-
posed of young men OF education.

weary of the solitude and gives up his
job on account of inconsistencies. but
