tiOn has not been so apparent in thu
past, but those who understand the
present conditions in Florida and in
cessity of taking some action to cut
wisely what forests remain. and pro-
vide for regeneration on lands that have
already been denuded. The report
explains the present situation in de-
tail and points the way for a wiser
consideration in the future.
The south. with 27 per cent. of the
total area of the United States. con-
tains about AZ per cent. of the total
forest area of the country. The for
est area by states is as follows: Ala
bama, 2O,0O0.0OO acres; Arkansas. "a.
100000; Florida. 20,OO0.0O0 Georgia.

Texas. 3O,0OO.0OO: Virginia. 10000.

The SOUTH it will be seen. has still
much of the virgin forest of the
country. This forest must be used
of course. in order to meet the steadily
expanding wants of the section. 1t
must be used in such manner, how
ever. that the very most may be made
from its annual cut, while at the
same time this cut is being replaced
by new growth. In this way its tim
ber will remain source of perpetual
wealth
The Importance of forest conserva-
tion to southern interests is clearly
understood by the people of the south
The future of the south is more near
ly bound up in the plan of forest pres
ervation, with its accompanying pro-
lection to watersheds, power-streams,
and woodworking industries, than is
anything now before the people of
that part of the country. Not only
is the perfection of the watersheds,
which will some day furnish the pow
er to run all manufacturing establish.

ouiniauIt Indians, Fisheries.

The Quiniault Indians deserve
praise for the efficient and far seeing
methods adopted in the management
Of their fisheries. They have learned
the lesson taught by their white breth-
rem that if the salmon is to be con-
served the fish must be permitted to
go up the stream to the spawning
ground This year the Quiniaults
adopted a rule under which they
kept a runway in the stream free
from nets. and many thousands of
"bluebacks" were seen to pass up the
stream. Heretofore the nets have
been set promiscuously and no at
tempt was made to conserve the fish.
But even with runway kept open
the Indians enjoyed the greatest catch
In the memory of old men of the tribe
this year. The 100000 salmon caught
had value of about $4,000. and of
this sum $4,000 will go to the heads
of 80 families. That is $500 to the
family, sum sufficient to provide well
for an Indian family year.

Europe or Bar Harbor or their coun-

people on their own resources when
amusements are at premium.
Our idea is no high flying one We
want to make friends with these peo-

preach no new religion.
The children are not the only ones
looked after, however There is bill

shower baths, a fully equipped gym

given as well as dance, concert and

trial teachers will train the girls in
sewing raffla work, chair Gaming, mil
linery and hammock making. The
boys will learn carpentry and chair

children between seven and fourteen
years. All the children will be taught

Much Importance now attaches tu

good friends. and this friendship has
