pulp forests on earth North of the pine
belt there is strip of spruce and poplar
which runs across the greater part of the
continent. 1t contains enough trees of the
right sort to supply the newspapers of the
world for ages. Indeed. 1t could furnish
enough to almost paper the globe and leave
some to spare. In the Lake st. John basin
of the province of Quebec there is a wood
pulp area as large as the state Of South
Carolina, on which are now standing 1O0,-
100000 cords of pulp wood. A half million
tons Of pulp could annually be made from
that forest for an indefinite period; and

American Lumbermen in Canada.


Americans already own a big share OF
the lumber business here, and they are
rapidly acquiring more. Many Of the lum-
Der camps are managed by our people.
Connecticut axes cut down the forests,
and mills, equipped with American ma
chinery, are saving the logs into boards
for American houses.
/ have met many of our lumbermen here
and have chatted with them about the
business. One of the best posted is b. w.
Arnold, who is largely associated with
General Russell A. Alger in pine lands in
Minnesota, and who has ciso large inter-
ests in British Columbia and Canada. He
has saw mills along>the great lakes, and
ships pine and other lumber to the United
States. In my chat 1 asked him about the
wood which we are now getting from Cam
ada. He replied:
THE United States imports all sorts OF
lumber from here. 1t gets considerable
pine, RED birch, balsam and spruce. but
the most important of all is pine. Nearly
all the white pine used east of the Ohio
comes over the international boundary. and
we also ship pine to the west central
states. The most Of the American pine
has been cut OFF. We have some such for
ests left in Minnesota, but there is COM
paratively little in Maine, Michigan or

Canada has set aside a number of ma

we have in all our national parks, and in
Ontario there are 100000 acres of such
reservations. The Yoho park on the Pacific

northern Quebec has a national park of

parks have all been created since 1872, and
their area all told is only a little more

Reform in College Athletics.

The aim of the reformers in school
and college athletics should be clearly
and directly the betterment of condi-
tons, not the extirpation of the love
of combat which is inherent in the ma
ture of mankind. The notion that
hard general work, resulting in full
muscular development, saps vitality,
weakens the organs and is a wearying
incubus to the individual is so illogi-
cal as hardly to deserve an answer, re-
marks the Boston Post. But some per-
sous believe this. Such should pity
the wild animals that, guided only by
an instructive physiological need, run,
jump, pursue and wrestle with one an
other, thereby using and developing
fully their whole bodies.
