PINE FoREsTs GOING FAST.
Canada Losing the Pride OF ITS
Timber wealth.


Timber wealth.
New York Tribune,
II Is a fact which Canada faces with
some degree Of sadness that within few
years she will be absolutely devoid OF the
beautiful pine forests which at one time
we're her pride. At the present rate of de-
struction the number Of years cannot be
great until there will hardly be another
tree of the original forests to be cut within
the limits OF the Canadian lumber region.
Sir wilfrid Laurier in a recent address
called attention 20 the many enemies of the
forest. Man, he said, Is bad enough, but he
is not so bad as the fire, The fire is the
great enemy OF the forests. Year after
year during the summer months miles and
miles OF forests are destroyed by fire. Per-
haps It does not go on at so great rate
as in former years, but there is still far
too much of It. Efforts are being made,
however to check the ravages of the
| flames.
In the Ottawa valley the lumbermen keep
a patrol OF the woods, and that Is great
help. In order to be of the greatest SER
vice, many more patroimen would be re-
quired, and the forests would have to be
| looked after as they are in France and
| Germany, so that so far as possible every
incipient fire might be prevented from
spreading. fGrthefmore, every man IN that
part Of Canada-tbe lumberman, the sports
man and the man out of any class-should
! be impressed with the fact that it is a
crime to throw a lighted match upon the
ground, to scatter the ashes OF FIRE or TO
leave a camp FIRE before it is absolutely ex-
/ tinguished.
Another destructive element to which Sir
| Wilfrid calls attention is the railway loco
motive. The railroads are great blessings,
undoubtedly, but one who takes the train
/ at Halifax to go to Vancouver will find in
every province of the dominion where there
/ is timber miles upon miles OF what was
once beautiful forest, now nothing but
parched and blackened tinber--a monu-
ment to the destruetivenss of the railroad
locomotive. Yet the railroad men have
! taken every precaution in their endeayor
TO overcome the difficulty inherent in the
operation Of the railway locomotive. They
have put screens upon their smokestacks
! and devised other methods, but all have
proved inadequate. While the Canadian
forests have never been called upon to pay
the enormous tribute 20 multiplying indus
tries that those of the United States have,
they have been decimated by the specula-

The Pullman Palace Car company is not
complying with the requirements of the
new rate law relating to the posting OF its
rates. The company takes the position, so
II is announced. that It is doing a hotel and
not a transportation business. and It will
pay no attention 10 the law which declares
re TO be a common carrier until compelled
to by the court. Something might be said
in favor OF the cOmpany's contention, since
It's charges are made Independently of mere
transportation and are based upon time
rather than distance; but this does not dis
prove the right OF the government to bring
the business under public regulation. Per-
sistenee in the Pullman oompany's antag-
onistic position will only operate TO hasten
the enactment of laws requiring the rail-
roads TO provide a sleeping and parlor car
service OF their own.
