TIMBER IN THE PHILIPPINES

Major George p. Ahern, Chief of
the Forestry Bureau Of the Philip
pines, is reported from Berlin as stat
ing to the German authorities that
the value of the timber on the public
lands of the archipelago is enormous.
On one tract on the island of Minda-
mao he estimates that the ripe
timber, ready for removal, is worth
s44 900, 900. This value, it may as
sumed, is for the timber delivered to
market. If there was government
stumpage to the value of $44, 900, 900
the Philippine Government would be
ION velvet" Such an available cash
resource would be better than plush

be abolished, Government railroads
built, the harbors put in shape and
properly fortified.
The value of the PHILIPPINE forests
or rather of the PHILIPPINE numbers
when got out of the FORESTS well
known. There is a great variety of
hard woods, said not to be liable to
serious checking, of beautiful appear
ance and capable Of receiving a high
polish. Many of the varieties are
wholly unknown in timber markets,
but are certain to be known, at least
to those who delight in handsome
furniture and are able to buy it..
Hitherto, unless improvements have
been recently made, the cost of get
ting lumber out has been extremely
high, There are no forests of one
kind of timber, but many kinds grow
together Unfortunately in a tropi-
cal jungle. When wood cutter got
an order for certain kind of timber
he went into the forest, found his tree
cut it and sawed it up by hand, over
an oldfashioned saw pit, into sizes
which a couple of water buffalo could
drag through the brush to the bank of
a stream, where it was loaded into a
boat and floated down. Most of the
wood is too heavy to be noated ex-
cept in boats. Profitable numbering
in the Philippines involves large out
lay. When tract Is attacked
proper roads must be made and all
the ripe timber of all kinds which has
commercial value must be cut at once
the Governments will not permit
growing timber to be cut. Modern
sawmills must be built and the out
put marketed on a large scale. At
present the woods being mostly I'M
known to the trade, there is no mar
ket except for trial lots. Consequent
ly there must be capital to carry a
large stock until markets are made
for 1t.
Spain being a backward country,
never adopted the plan of giving
away its forests or the timber which
they contain. The wood cutter
poor man" though he might be
when he had painfully dragged his
timber to the stream, would find
there awaiting him the official scaler,
and good stiff price must be paid
before the timber could be loaded
Substantially the same policy is fol-
lowed by the Philippine Government
The Spanish Government did sell tim
Der land but, as few desired to buy
II, most of 1t is public land still.
There is a great potential value in
the Philippine forest, but large cap
ital is required to get it out. Lum-
bering in the Philippines is not an oc-
cupation for poor man

SOME DAY, THE PIPER TO PAY.

Butte Inter-Mountain Professor
A. j. Holmes, chief of the technolo-
gic bureau of the federal geological
survey after a comprehensive sur
vey" of the natural resources of the
nation, comes to the conclusion that
the existing ''prodigious waste" must
be brought to halt. if prosperity
is long to continue.
He declares that in mining opera
tions, nearly one-half the total coal
supply is hurried over, because of the
rush to mine cheaply. Water as a
source of power is shamefully neg
lected Forest fires consume more
lumber than goes into homes. At the
present rate of consumption, neither
wood nor coal will be available for
fuel, within n century.
This jeremiad much resembles that
delivered last year by J. ]. Hill, who
saw, in his fearful minds eye, the
iron-ore beds of the country naked
within a decade But iron and more
iron is discovered and coal and more
coal will be mined. If the present
processes are wasteful, let them be
corrected; but no need to SILVER
through this generation lest the next
lack coal The next may smile at our
crude heating apparatus.
