pressed his views to members Of n con.
gressional committee appears 10 think
that there IL an unnecessary scare over
the destruction of timber. lie speaks
of prophecies Of annlhilation that We're
made years ago and that have not been
fulfilled, says that the greatest danger
Is not from cutting but from forest
fires, and gives assurances n 10 the
future by declaring that there j. an
immense stock Of timber In the far
West. Against his feeling Of confidence
and unconcern we may st the esti-
mates and opinions recorded in u re-
cent publication issued by the govern.
ment. II says that we are now cutting
timber at the rate Of 800 feet board
measure a year for every man, womln
and child In the country, whereas in
Europe they use only 10 board feet.
AT this rate In less than thirty years
all our remaining virgin timber viii

have been cut over are generally In q

signs Of the need of conservation. The
