Bishop of Alaska.

Ending his 18th year of service as
the head of the Episcopal church for
the diocese of Alaska, Bishop P. T.
Rowe, one of the best known men of the
entire northland, has arrived in Seat
tie. He is returning by Puget sound
to his home station at Sitka, after
journey covering the missionary dis
tricts along the Arctic as far to the
eastward as Point Hope. He says he
is well pleased with the achievements
of his corps of workers among the polar
Eskimos
Although the diocese presided over
by Bishop Rowe is one of the largest
allotted to any prelate in the world for
supervision and the duties involved
included wearing dog-team and rein
deer trips over thousands of miles of
waste, he has completed plans that will
add to the duties by extending his field
work.

TIMBER SUPPLY GOING.
What of the timber supply?

What of the timber supply7
Every one who ever expects to own
home is interested in this momen-
tous problem, asserts an exchange.
The forests are speedily disappearing
from the land, and nothing but care
full foresting will preserve the timber
of the American continent
The land area of the United States
is a little less than 100000 square
miles. OF this area the best timber
experts believe that about 20 per cent
was originally wooded. The present
wooded area is 100000, or about
half the total area. But of that
amount the present actual forest area
from which our timber supply must
be drawn is but 20 per cent of the
total area.
The Atlantic forest area, as the
wooded section east of the Mississippi
is known, comprises about three
fourths of the original wooded area of
the United States. The east front
of this forest extended from Maine
to Florida, stretching westward to and
beyond the Mississippi river, being in
dented on its central division front by
the prairies of northern Illinois and
Iowa but comprising to the northwest
ward the Great Lakes system and end
ing only at the valley of the Red river
Southwark it reached to eastern
Texas, covering in this direction all
the state of Arkansas, nearly all of
Missouri, a large part of the Indian
territory, and presenting a forest front
from Florida to Galveston.
Much of this great region was of
small growth, but vast unbroken areas
were dense with the finest standing
timber then known to man. In the
northern part were great tracts of
hardwoods, while the soft woods such
as pine abounded in the south.
Extending from the western border
of the original Atlantic forest to the
foothills of the Rockies is and has
been since prehistoric times a treeless
belt from 400 to 500 miles wide, be-
ginning far north of the Canadian
border and extending south to the
Mexican line. In this belt are five
states almost naked of trees and total
treeless area region equal in area to
of this the growth in broad -leaved de-
ciduous trees commercially known as
hardwoods is insignificant.
Two forest regions lie between this
prairie and the Pacific ocean. These
are called the Rocky mountain forest
and the Pacific coast forest. The for
mer comes over the international line as
continuation of the forests of British
Columbia, covering the western third
of Montana and the northern half of
Idaho in fairly continuous growths,
continuing thence southerly in dimin-
ishing and broken belts and patches
along the highlands and valleys of the
Rocky mountains.
In this forest, in the higher attitudes
and toward the south, variety of pines
prevail, being generally of poorer quail
ity toward the higher and drier locali-
ties. To the north they partake of the
nature and habit of the Coast forest,
gradually merging into It to the west

ward

ward
The Pacific coast forest, according
to Milton o. Nelson, timber expert,
in its density and average quantity of
timber per acre is the greatest forest
on the face of the earth. Here are the
oldest and largest trees in the world
Here timber grows to such enormous
size that for many years the lumber in
dustry did little but nibble along the
edges of it in the most easily worked
spots.
This forest runs south along the west
ern slopes of the Cascade and Coast
ranges, having a maximum density and
width in Washington and Oregon and
dwiudEng to small isolated mountain
areas in south central California. In
quantity the Douglas, or red fir, is
almost equal to all other varieties COM
bined. 1t is found chiefly in Washing
ton and Oregon. With this timber is
also found white and western hemloclx,
all growing to excellent understandable
size and quality.
laundering on a large scale is con-
Quoted chiefly in the coniferous forests.
The hardwoods have gone into consump-
ton mainly by way of the sawmill.
What the original American forest was
in terms of feet, no one Will ever know.
Even as recently as 1850, official esti-
mates greatly varied.
What the remaining forests contain,
however, is more nearly known. The
best estimators in the national forest
service reckon the present standing
merchantable timber at about 1000,
000,000,000 feet. OF this amount 400.
| 600 900 900 feet are hardwood tho rest
conifers.
OF the total timber standing, the
northern states are credited with 500.
600, 100000 feet, and the western states
with s00,000,000 600 feet, and the south
ern states with 100000, 000,0 900 feet
These figures, of course, mean little
except for purposes of comparison, but
they give real information as to our
supply when it is known that the an
nual cut reaches 10000, 100000.

DR.. COOK SAYS LET HIM PROVE

of my journey are accessible to every
Dne who reads and all can decide for
themselves when Peary presents his
report.
Commander Peary has as yet given
to the world no proofs of his own case.

den; the president of the United States
has wired me his confidence; my claim
has been accepted by the international
bureau of polar research at Brussels;
most of the geographical societies of
Europe have sent me congratulations
which mean faith and acceptance for
the present, and almost every explorer
of note has come forward with warm
and friendly approval.

accessible to all, and every one who
reads can decide for himself. When
Peary publishes a similar report, then
our cases are parallel. Why should

minded people ponder over the matter
while the final records by which my
case may be eventually proven are be-
ing prepared.

never will be forgotten.

nailed the Stars and Stripes to the

tons / then believed, as I do now
that his work over a new route fan

valuable detail. There is room enough
