A tenderfoot who visited the Yosem-

his hair stand on end.

YHE FORESTRY PROBLEM.
Why Timber Owners Should Not Cut
From Business Point Of View

To the Editor of the Journal
The advantage in the preservation
of our forests from the aesthetic and
public utility point of view is now be-
yond the need of discussion. 1t re-
mains, to CONVINCE the individual
landowner of the direct benefit to
him in, allowing this timber to stand.
The sole object now in the cutting
of our forests is to convert their
stumpage value into ready cash, since
all of the land desired for tillag2
has been, practically, already clear
ed
Money is worth five per cent. We
make the point that timber left to
grow is worth fifteen per cent and
submit the following as proof of the
assertion.
Money at interest is supposed to
double itself in about fifteen years
The stumpage value of standing tim
Der. aside from it's increase in value
from growth, has doubled in value
during the last eight years, and the
prospects ahead is fully as bright.
Here, alone, is ten per cent No one,
j think, will question but what the
average annual growth is, at least
five per cent This gives the desired
result of fifteen per cent increase -
let our timber stand.
The increase in stumpage value OF
course applies to all woodlands, ma
tured or unmatured AS regards
growth, the yearly increase applies
to quite all of them also; since the
amount of virgin forest, as yet UNI
touched, is, comparatively, very
small and with that, even, there is 6
ten per cent gain to let it alone. The
fact should be strongly impressed
upon the minds of all landowners
that the growth in all live trees Is
proportional according to their size
Every live tree, suitable for lumber
forms new ring of growth, eacl
err the tree the more productive thu
new ring of growth, not only il
quantity, but also in quality; sine
the serviceable clear stock whici
has double stumpage value, is con
fined almost entirely to the large
trees. Hence we should not Gu
trees simply because they are large
Decaying trees, and trees of mino
commercial value which obstruct tn
growth of those more valuable,
may be well to cut.
The danger from fire to the wood

tirely eliminated; and does not eN
coed the danger to money at intereS
from default of payment. And eve
lands where there is only pros
pective cut of timber many year
ahead now have ready cash valu

to remain as an asset to the State for

Because of the non-payment of pre-
miums which were awarded at the
last Rutland county fair held in Rut-
land, it is probable that there will be
no winter show by the Interstate
Poultry and Pet Stock Association
as had been previously planned.
There We're various exhibitors from
out of town who were induced by the
bankers of the Interstate organiza-
ton to show birds at the county show
last fall which included the inter
State exhibit and the result was a
much finer collection of birds than
has been seen for several years at
Rutland fair. The non-payment of
the premiums has naturally put q
damper on these fanciers' enthusiasm
and the hackers of the Interstate or
ganization are in an awkward posi-
ton in regard to approaching these
men who got left" before about eX-
hibiting again. The result is that
the plan for mid winter show, to be
held some time during this month,
will probably fall through although a
meeting of the officials of the asso-
citation will be held within few
days to decide about the matter.

The records of fires and the result
ing losses in Burlington for the past
year will be something of revelation
to most people for, according to the
figures of the fire department, the
losses are nearly if not quite the
smallest in the history of the city,
amounting to about 10 cents per cap
tia and reaching total of only $4,000.
During the last six years the losses
have steadily diminished with the eX-
ception of 1905, when they reached
$45,O0 because of large fire in
Cranes lumber yard. The number of
alarms answered during the past year
was 76 The amount paid out by pol
icyholders is not definitely known but
it is estimated at it's lowest as reach
inc over $150,0O0 annually. A list of
the losses during the past six years
follows: 1909, $4,000; 1908, $90S5.41 !;
1907, $16,623.96; 1906, s35,6O9 65;
