Plea Made for Protection
of Forests of This State

NOT dSIFDyHG. protection against Dr &
is a public necessity and should not
be left to the care CT private indivi-
duals.
Few states in the whole Union, have
50 much to gain by protecting their
forests as has West Virginia and few
states done so little in this direction
az we have. The state cf West yir-
ginia, has less than $4,000 square
miles, and $4,000 square miles of this
is forest This includes. however,
cut over and burned tracts, many of
them having but little value at the
present time, and some Of them
having been burned over by FIRE 50
many times that they are ruined for
all time.
White Pine Gone.
The white pine, which a few years
ago extended in a broad bslt across
the state, following the parallel
ridges CT the Allegany range, is al
most a thing of the past, and the hem
lock and the spruce are now going the
way of the white pine One has but
TO witness the tracts OF timber that
are now being cut in West Virginia.
especially the ones where pulp wood
is being taken off, to grow sick at
forest areas stripped of every living
particle of timber, and left unprctect-
ed and ungarded from the fires that
year after year burn over thsse tracts
until they are completely ruined for
all future time.
BY all rules CT forest economy,
these saplings should net be cut, and
the state certainly should have right
70 enact a statue controlling such mat
tiers and ] certainly hope to see the
next legislature enact a law that will
protect the great forests CT the Little
Mountain State
Tanneries. in sarch for bark have
literary wiped out forests which
formerly seemed exhaustless, and saw
mills following the bark peelers, have
consumed the trunks Of trees, and the
destructive forest fires following have
consumd almost everything elss.
Situation Not Hopeless.
The situation IS not hopeless but
is in a way discouraging and the tins
IS here when something must be done
along the line, if it is ever done.
A great portion of the hardwood
tracts of timber yet remain in this
state, and if we ever have a forest
policy now is the time to begin.
West Virginia forsts are inaces-
sible no longer. The buildings of
railroads along the principal water
courses. has brought our forests with
in reach of the markets, and they are
being shipped out at a rate that can
not long be continued
West Virginia, should profit by the
mistakes of other states and tn waste
cf timber stopped. 1t is to be hoped
for the sake of West Virginia that the
next session OF the legislature Will
make some effort to protect the TIM
Der of this state which is passing
away like the Indians that years ago
ramed through the state.

Fire Protection.

If the timber famine, which threat
ms the whole country, is to be
ayerted. then some system must BE
devised whereby priyat individuals
and companies must handle the pro
position, as the government is hand
ling its forest land, by stopping need
less waste, cutting mature treee only,
letting the saplings stand, and pro-
tecting same from fire. There are
many things which are necessary and
important in the conservation of our
forest acres, but protecting tn M
from fire, is the principal thing.
II cannot be denied but that state
has the right, and it might be urged,
that it is the absolute duty of every
state to take this matter in hand and
protect our great forests from fire,
and see that in other ways, they are

FOREST, FISH AND GAME WAR
DEN GIVES VIEWS.
Destruction OF Timber VIII Soon Ruin
All the Forests Of the Entire
Country.
BY J. A. WouESNEY.
Forest, Fish and Game Warden.

With her vast forests of timber
West Virginia, Is enc of the greatest
timber states in the Union, and within
a short time the larger eastern states
state for timber with which to build
their business and dwelling houses.
One OF the greatest questions that has
agitatsd the whole country IN the past
decade is that of conservation and pro
lection of our forests and timber
Conservative estimatss are that at
the present rate Of cutting, the great
fcrest areas of the United States, viii
be almost exhausted in twenty years
but West Virginia win still have
timber Unless, how sver, this state
Is given some protection her timber
will be exhausted few years later for
then the other states win sxoop down
en- the Little Mountain state Xix q
hungry vulture and cut the remaining
trees down. In view of this, The gov
eminent has undertaken the admins
tration of the florists remaining on it's
lands in the west, and has set apart
more than 100000 square miles Of
land Nor this purpcse which territory
would make ten states the size Of
West Virginia, and will be used to
grow timber for the use of future gem
erations.
But large as the National Forests
are, they are emily little more than
one-fifth of the total area of the
UNITED States. Where the government
owns on acre of forest. private il
dividuals and companies own four, SO
that it can be readily seen that the
government cannot solve the whole
problem. Private individuals, COM
panies and states must take UP this
work, for they own fcur-ffths of all
the timber of the Unitsd states.

COTTON MARKET
 CL0SESAT ADVANCE
Irregular Opening Due to CirculatOin of December
 and January Notices

New York. December 29.-After a very irregular opening due to the cir culation of a few December and heavy January notices the cotton market frmed up on buying of near months by trade interests and covering of later deliveries for over the holidays, with the close very steady at net ad- vance of s to 12 points. All three of the big cotton markets will be closed from tonight until next Tuesday morn- ing.
 The opening was steady with first prices or points lower on Decem- Der and January as a result of active liquidation by scattering longs who evidently wished to avoid deliveries, while later months were unchanged to , points in sympathy with steady Liv- erpool cables. It was estimated that practically all the cotton delivered on December contracts was retendered on January by the big spot people this morning, it being rumored that the notices issued represented approximate ly 115.O00 bales
 At the increased differences, how ever, the same largo trade interests who were credited with issuing the notices were good buyers of January around the ring, showing a willing ness to take back the cotton at the discount uner March and May and as soon as this became apparent the mar ket rallied, owing to the continued steadiness of Liverpool and covering by people who had sold earlier in the week on the strength of the Lanca- shire labor troubles Business was ac- tive at the start, but became quiet later with the market failing to attract much fresh interest on the eve of three days adjournment, although prices con- tinued very steady and reached the highest point of the day in the late trading, with the close only a point or two off from the best. The into sight figures proved about in line with expectations, or at least seemed to at tract no particular attention and pri> vate cables predicting that the Lam oashire mill troubles would continue so long as the funds of the operatives held out, made little impression, oW- ing to the relatively steady ruling of the English market December closed off to S.S6c early and the last price quoted for that position was around SS0c or within points of January, after having shown premium of near ly 90 points not long ago.
 Receipts today, S9,6S1 bales against 109, 415 last week and 50,S66 last year. Todays receipts at New orleans, 9941 against 12,6S1 last year; at Galveston, 29,262 against 11,723 last year, and at Houston, 16,664 against 9311 last year. New York Cotton F...res

MARKET RALLIES AFTER AN EARLY DIP
Fear of Damage to the Fall SOwn Crop in Case of
 Blizzard Responsible

Chicago, December 29.-Fear of damages to the fall sown crop in case of severe cold wave rallied the wheat market today after an early dip due to better reports from the Argentine harvest
 The close was steady, 14c off to llc up as compared with 24 hours before Corn showed &. gain of ls@%c net and oats an advance of asd1kc to 9sa&c. The end of the day left hog products within 21sc either way from last nights level.
 Far below zero weather was reported in the northwest and brought out solicI- tude. It led to some rather anxious in quiry as to the condition of snow cover ing in the event a spread of the cold should affect winter wheat.
 A summary of the replies made plain the fact that the fields everywhere ex- cept in Nebraska. Western Kansas and Northern Michigan were again bare of protection There was an immediate bracing up of prices in consequence.
 Further strength developed as a result of dispatches from Montreal announcing that the export demand had grown amaz- ingly in scope and was limited only by scarcity of ocean freight room. All situation earlier witnessed in the session when the market seemed unable to shake off feeling of heaviness brought on by news of increasing stocks in France and more still as a result of improved har- vest prospects in the Argentine republic.
 Most of the selling on the decline came from speculators here, a majority of whom switched to the buying side on the ensuing upturn.
 Between the opening and close May ranged from 9SA to 99c with the finish 9S24c, a gain of 1sc over yesterday Not little nervous feeling took hold of the corn crowd. Possibility of a squeeze in the December delivery attracted at tention owing to a sudden temporary bulge of 11ac in that option the result of buying on the part of leading ware house concern. Cash dealers were sellers on the advance. May fluctuated between 63Js@63Ac to 6s5sc, closing relatively steady 1sc up ht 653sc
 Spot demand was slow. No. 9 yellow was not quoted.
 Oats had a strong tone throughout the session. The meagerness of receipts fur nished the reason. Top and bottom linn it's reached for May were 4714d5sc, and 46%c, with the close 5sa&c up at 471k@ 479sc.
 Trade in provisions consisted largely of changing from nearly options to the more deferred months When the sessions was at an end the level of prices appeared to have been substantially maintained all round.

Hnhhard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. December 29,-(Special.)- Large tenders were made today on Jan uary by the holders of the cotton re- ceved on December, and it Is now thought that about half of their stock went into the hands of other spot houses. The long interest generally was transferred to May and July.
 Our cable advices from Liverpool state that the strike situation in Lancashire as regarded as a most serious matter, and that it is expected to continue for at least a month, if not until the funds of the operatives are exhausted. We hardly be- lieve that matters will be permitted to go to that extreme.
 There are few sellers in the market de- spite the reported weakness in the south ern markets. "A slow investment demand being the main feature
 Many new facts may appear with the new year, which we trust will be a most prosperous one for you all.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 29.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady point off to ? points up. Cables were somewhat better than expected, but there was no news concern ing the labor situation in Lancashire, and the trade did not know how to take the large number of January notices issued
 in the eastern market.
 After the call the trading months were
 immediately l to points off. This was followed, however, by an improvement
 which by the end of the first half hour of
 business put prices l to points over yesterday.
 The list was dull but very steady from
 the middle of the session forward. Shorts bought covers over the holidays and put prices up on themselves.
 Bulls were not aggressive, but they took
 on a moderate amount of cotton. The supply of contracts at no time was equal to the demand.
 No attention was paid to bearlsh dis
 patches from Liverpool concerning the
 labor situation. The forecast for more rain in the cotton
 region over the holidays helped to steady
 the list. At the start of the second call the trading months were ' to points over yesterday.
 In the afternoon the list was quiet but very steady. At 90 minutes before the close prices were points over yester- day.
