you Of the place In which they first saw the light.

stumps Of trees.
Picture the brooding Of those trees as they grew.
II took them 20 years to reach an age and
size where they might prove marketable. No
more will the wind moan and sough through
their branches. The hills are bare. The snow
will melt in the spring. and the soil will not
absorb 1t. Water will run into the streams and
the streams become floods. and the floods breed
calamities.

discarded forever. beyond the power of man to
restore and the work Of nature for years to re-
place.
The bulk Of the trees now come from Canada.
More than 100000 are used annually in Philadel.
phia alone. New York, Chicago, Baltimore and
a hundred towns between them use three times
that number every year.
In the wild hills Of the Canadian provinces the
trees are still plentiful. But 1t Is only a ques.

mand for them, when their price will soar. No

In q few scattered places throughout the coun.
try, II Ia true. one or two men have started nurs-
cries In Christmas trees. Intelligent planting and
cutting within three generations may make them

But elsewhere. in spite Of the talk Of conserva-
ton which we hear so much about nowadays, the
trees are stripped ruthlessly from the hills and
valleys and no attempt 10 made by the greedy
marketer to replace them.
This has resulted In the present dearth Of the
much-desired spruce trees. Vermont already
charges an additional stumpage Of Ave cents. upon
trees which are shipped out Of the state.
Let us consider the Christmas tree situation In
Philadelphia. Each year more than 1000 nat

WORK BEGINS SOON
ON WESTERN CANAL
Which Will Parallel the Kyrene Ditch
On the North Side.

Engineer Reed and c. :. Witbeck,
the reclamation service. were here yes
terday on matters connected with the
paralleling of the Kyrenc ditch. Ac-
cording to Mr. Reed all hope of ever
coming to a satisfactory understanding
with the Kyrene people has long since
been given up There was a time when
it seemed possible that the canal might
be purchased by the government and
the work Of making new ditch thereby
avoided but that time is now passed
and the work Of securing the neces-
sary right-of- way for the new canal,
which will parallel il on the north side
is now well under way. Practically all
of the riEht-of-way is arranged for and
i'm most Of the instances the contracts
have been signed and recorded.
MI Reed stated Yesterday that the
work Of repair on the north side was
So well along, the greater portion Of
the force there can be switched to the
south side for the work on the new
canal at any time. He and Mr.. Wit
beck expected to get one more contract
for the right-of-way signed up yester-
day and in that case planned to begin
work on the new ditch at once.
The upper end of the new ditch,
which by the way Will be known as the
Western canal, is now practically COM
plcted through sections seven and eight
\ few little finishing touches are now
being put on but the canal is practi-
Cally ready to carry water. The ditch
along the side Of the Kyrene will be
above the surface of the land for sew
eral miles and its construction will be
something Of a task but the big outfit
that viii be used will make dirt fly

Monday evening as the two sons
