Thus spoke Rev. A. Eugene Bart
lett in sermon in the Church of the
Redeemer, speaking from his observa-
tions on his recent western tour. Con-
tinuing he said, in part:
THE irresistible courage and in
domitable energy of youth is present
in the farther West, and 1t is ma
tional asset that the whole country
may share. This country cannot be
rightly judged by the New eng
land standard of culture and con-
servatism, nor by the standard Of the
Middle West. The Far West must be
considered as well.
Our country has room for 100000
900. When we have finished our great
irrigation projects, we can take care
of the overplus of population froEa all
the cities of the world. The prosper
ity that has come to the western farm
ers with the advent of water is yet
scarcely appreciated by those Of the
Middle West. You need pity the
western farmers no more. They do
not need your sympathy unless their
automobile breaks down.
1T is the Far West that is teaching
the whole country to save the ma
tional resources. She is aware of the
value of the water and the worth OF
trees The love of home is very strong
in the Far West.

two months of study of conditions in
the farther West have removed the
blur from my eyes and the doubts
from my heart. America is headed
right. Without bloodshed new re-
public is merging. When the weaving
is finished, there will be no North, no

country,s Forests Grow Less.

Washington.-A startling situation
has developed as the result Of TAX
ing of stock of the country's forest
resources, according to Treadwell
Cleveland, Jr., expert in the bureau
of forestry. in bulletin made public
today entitled 1.-The Status Of Forestry
in the United States"
1t has shown. Mr.. Cleveland de-
clares, that the country still is de-
stroying the forest, taking from ID
every year three and half times as
much wood as is added by the new
growth. 1t has shown that less than
one-third of the growing trees felled
by the lumbermen is ever used at all.
so that two-thirds OF all the timber cut
is simply destroyed. 1t has shown
that one-eleventh of an the forests is
swept by fires every year and that on
the average since 1870 forest fires
have yearly cost $oO,0O0000 in timber
and SO lives.
1t has shown, Mr.. Cleveland con-
tinues, that over 80 per cent. of the
forests in private hands-which COM
prise three-fourths of all the forest
land and four-fifths of all the wood.
is thus devastated by destructive use
and the sweep of uncnecked fires.
while less than one per cent. is prop
erly handled for successive crops or
effectively protected from fire. 1t is
stated Iurther that the forest as a re-
source is rapidly being obliterated.

Story Of the Great Tunnel.

miles to the west the lovely Uncom-

water. The Gunnison, descending in
ever deepening gorges, finally plunges
into the Black canyon, one of the most
magnificent mountain gorges in the
world. This unpromising spot was Sc
lected as the starting point of the
tunnel. Brave engineers lowered
themselves into the Black canyon at
points where the granite walls rise
almost perpendicularly hundreds of
feet. and after their surveys were COM
