DISTINCTION Of Timber.

Some of the splendid old forests in
England, particularly in hard wood,
are being cut down owing to the press
ing needs for timber for pit props and
other purposes growing out Of the war
demands.
Fifteen hundred Canadian bushmen
have arrived in England FOR the pur-
pose Of telling these trees, many of
them in historic sections. Owing to
the lack of ships and the excessive
freight rates it has been impossible to
import timber, and to meet the nee
essities of war famous woodlands are
to be leyeed.
Artillery fire has destroyed much
standing timber in France and Bel
GUM and some of the best timber for
ests in Canada today are being ruined
by fire.
The bush fires start in Canada
through the carclcssness Of camping
parties or from sparks from locomo,
tiyes where railways traverse forest
sections. 1t is said that most Of the
Canadian forest fires originate in this
way. Fire rangers patrol the rail
roads for the purpose of guarding
against this danger, but the timber
lands are so vast it is n pretty difficult
matter to handle A fire once started
in the bush calls for desperate night
and day fighting against odds by a
mere handful OF men. Just now Can

 Former Congressman A. R. Weber, of Elyria, who was an intimate friend of the late attorney. today said he vas astonished ,t the discovery of the provision in the will and could give no explanation of it.
