slaves, which are shipped rough
for export and for which tha rate
is wanted, are as a rule gotten ont
by foreign labor and the nearest
they come TO developing the conn,
try is to establish stave camp III
the woods for a month or two
which is itself moved away as soon
as their work of devastion is &C
complished, the men returning TO
their native lands with their saw
ings. Another phase Of the ques
ton is the fact that the material
for which the rate is wanted can
only be made from the very chole'
est cuts Of the tree while cur stave
mills use nearly all of the timber
in the tree. This brings our alsu.
ment entirely in line with the con
servation sentiments with which |
am quite sure our above mentioned
friends are heartily in sympathy.
Another potent argument in our
favor is the fact that our timber
resources are among the most
powerful we have and we are t'm
in the conviction tina. these re-
sources should be so handled Ly
the present generation that eur
successors here shall at least reap
the largest amount OF proceeds
possible in the way of developed
lands and a freight rate that fos.
tiers the shipping out Of the country
the rough forest products would
hardly be conductive to this end.

man Of education and intelligence
superior to those among whom he
lived, with natural talents for gov.

a frame capable of enduring any
amount OF fatigue, and he was the
best shot and the best horseman IL

Peculiar History Of "Biscksmlthv To.
kens That Are Interesting to Nu-
nnIsmatlsts-Begsn With Ne
oesslty for Small Change.

A good deal has been heard of late
gears among coin collectors about the
so-called Blacksmith" tokens Of
Canada. The unsatisfactory con.
dition Of the currency In Canada up
to comparatively recent times ex-
plains the reason for the issue of such
coins.
For many years the supply OF legal
copper coins had been altogether In.
adequate. so that often anything 10
the shape Of a copper passed current.
At the beginning Of the nineteenth
century the only legal copper circu-
lating medium was an insufficient and
diminishing supply of worn out Brit
lsh half pence sent over from Eng
land.
little later this was supplement I'd
by deluge of imported private to-
kens. Their oyerabundapce. accord.
ing to writer In the Numismatist,
soon caused them to be discredited
and stringent means were adopted to
prevent further Importation of such
coin into Canada or its manufacture
here.
But as the necessity for an adequate
supply of small change became more
pressing, various ways for evading the
blockade were evolved. One of these
was by making or importing tokens
which bore a date previous to the
late of the edict excluding private
coins. Another way, which was at
one time very prevalent in England
was to evade the counterfeiting laws
by suppressing the legends and sub.
shutting instead some capricious or
meaningless legend, as "Claudius Ro-
manus," "Georgius TT Rox," George
Rules" Chorus Ter Wis.," etc. These
spurious coins presented the same
general appearance to the ignorant
popuiace as the regal coinage.
A third means, and this is charac.
teristic of the Canadian Blacksmiths,
was by counterfeiting the worn Brit
Ism half pence, the only legal copper
coins In circulation, on which the
date. legend and all but an indistinct
outline of the design had been effaced.
Although they thus produced a rude
coinage these early Canadian coiners
showed considerable skill in SO ma
king fresh coins bear the appearance
OF an old worn out but still legal cur
rency that they were able to circu.
late vast quantities of their spurious
limitations. II is worth noting that
the designs on these Blacksmiths
sften face In the opposite direction to
their prototypes.
AS an explanation Of their name the
story is told that blacksmith of dis
Holute habits lived In Montreal and
when he wished to have a good
time struck two or three dollars O.
these coppers and thereby supplied
himself with sufficient change to graf.
fly his wishes The name was
adopted by numismatists and applied
70 the whole series.
