LETTER FROM CLIFFORD PiNcHoT TO sERENO E. PAYNE ON
 THE SUBJECT.
LACK 0F, DUTY NO AID 10 CONSERVATION
The Chief Forester Declares That Placing Lumber on the Free List Would Not Preserve Our Forests as Only Per Cent of What We Use is ~ imported From Canada.

Washington, Mar. 13.-A removal of the tariff on lumber would neither re- duce the price to the consumer. nor preserve our forests, according to the opinion expressed by Clifford Pinchot, chief of the United States forest ser vice in letter to Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the house ways and means committee made public Thurs day, night. <,
 Mr, Pinchot holds that the funda mental question at issue in the lumber tariff is forest conservation. He says that he would favor a removal of the tariff if he were of the opinion, which he thinks, is the cause of the demand for free lumber. that 1t would offer a way to protect our forests, But am unable to sec" he says, "how free lumber will promote forestry"
 There is only one way to save our | forests" he added That is to see flat they are kept at work growing new corps of timber as the old are cut away''-
 MT Pinchot says that most of the lumber we now import comes from | Canada. fas most of it would if the | duty were taken off. We are now inn i porting from Canada only about two per cent as much lumber as we are cutting from our own forest. It is not likely that under free lumber more than per cent as much would come from Canada as we would cut at | home" | Canada as compared with the Unit ed States has no great timber sup ply" continued MT. Pinchot. "Her to tai amount of standing timber is prob ably not more than one-third of what is left of ours. In the end the Cana dians will undoubtedly require for rome use all the time timber they can produce. Imports from Canada, there tore, would not be enough to limit the cutting of our forests or to reduce the price of lumber in any important | degree" I Mr. Pinchot Is of the opinion that If the duty were removed. there would be little if any benefit to the ultimate Econsumer in the United States.
 The waste in logging, according to Mir. Pinchot, is already enormous, be- ing several times larger than our i'm portation from Canada, 'I do not believe,r he said,, that the increased use of Canadian wood under free lum' her would equal the increased waste" The chief forester thinks It nightly Important that we should impose no export duty upon pulp wood. Ia this respect, he continues the pulp and pa
 per making industry is in different position from the other great wood us ling industries of the United States.
 The latter can be supplied wholly
 rom our own forests. while the former must have free access to the Canadian
 spruce forests so long as spruce Is
 tho chief pulp wood.P
 He declares that ground wood
 shoald be admitted free provided that if comes from a country which does nor in any way restrict the exportation of wood pulp or ground wood and that there should be a reduction in the
 duty upon newspaper providing that
 if comes from a country which does not in any way restrict the exporta ion of pulp wood, wood pulp or print Ing paper"

She Got Her Holiday.

A bright girl in a large school
applied to her teacher for leave to
be absent half a day on a plea that
her mother had received a telegram
which stated that company was on
the way.
"It's my fathers half sister and
her three boys" said the pupil anx-
iously, 'and mother doesn't see how
she can do without me, because
those boys always act so dreadful
ly."
The teacher referred her to the
printed list of reasons which justi-
fled absence and asked if her case
came under any Of them.
II think it might come under
this head, Miss Rules" said the

good lounging place, but it's a hard
thing to ask of any mar that he
read modern magazines for two or
three hours at a stretch; hence the
snoozing system. The lounger,
with the aid of a magazine used as
a prop, pits his skill against the
vigilance of the officer in a game to
see whether he shall snatch half an
hours blissful slumber. Sometimes
he wins. Sometimes he has but
closed his eyes when a rude hand
on his shoulder brings him back to
life. The use Of blue glasses ought
to be a great aid to the snoozer.-
