Merriam Bailey, the leading woman
ornithologist of the United States and
author of many everyday books about
the everyday birds and a member of
the executive committee of the Audu-
bon Society of the District of Columbia.
II am very glad that the National As
ISOLATION of Audubon Societies has in
augurated a Bird day." said Mrs. Bal
ley, land this year especially, when
conservation OF American resources is
in every mind and when the conserva
ton of our American wild birds is of
vital import, because of their eco
nomic value in increasing the food
supply by devouring the hordes of de-
vastating insects.
One of the most interesting and
valuable factors in bird conservation
at present is the bird sanctuary idea,
which is being put into practice in
many sections of the country" and Mrs.
Bailey called attention to the most
extensive and elaborate of these created
bird preserves, which is at Meriden.
N H, and whose opening ceremonies
in the summer of 1915 were marked
by the beautiful bird masque, entitled,
Sanctuary written by Percy Mac
Kaye, and in which the daughter of
President Wilson took part. This
is the most beautiful bird sanctuary
in the United States. and is being COM
pleted with a degree of architectural
effect which places it in unique
position. 1t contains a great bird bath,
made from a huge bowder which was
set in place and shaped for use as a
memorial to Dr. Edward Everett Hale,
and there is another beautiful one of
bronze, which was executed for its
place here by Mrs. Louis st. Gaudens.
with many other interesting features
of landscape decoration, none of which,
however equals the intense interest in
spired by the thousands of birds of
many varieties which have come to make
1t their home, and which fill the air
with their free and happy songs and
make 1t gay with their bright and
fitting plumage.
I'VE have good opportunities in
Washington for bird study and preserv-
ation with the many parks and

average tree is left in the woods. and
less than half of the material in the
logs is made into lumber. The waste
in one year is equal to more than o.
100000 cords, and a large part of this
is in soft woods that could be used in
the manufacture of paper In addi-
ton. there are new kinds OF wood that
can be used to make paper, and there
is a vast supply of timber in the ma
tional forests fitted for pulp wood
which will warrant the establishment
of pulp mills upon the chief reserva-
lions.
Said Mr.. Graves: I'VE have in the , ma
tional forests several hundred billion
feet of soft wood that might be used
in the manufacture of pulp. We have
1O5, 900, 100000 feet of western yellow
pine, 74000.00o000 feet of western hem-
lock, 0oooo,0oo feet of Sitka
spruce, and 10000 100000 feet of white
fir, all in sufficient quantities in any
number of localities to Justify the put
ting up of a mill: We have also large
quantities of lodge-pole pine, Engei-
man spruce and Amabilis fir There is
a great deal of cheap water power
available in the forests. and the WOOD

facturers can make large profits. some

the establishment of mills, and this is
SO in many different localities.
1.-THE forests of southeastern Alaska"
continued Mr. Graves, ARE especially
adapted for the manufacture of pulp
wood. They contain billions of feet of
spruce and other soft woods fitted for
paper. and the timber is so situated on
the slopes of steep mountains that it is
easily accessible to tide water The
ports and waterways there are never
closed by ice The climate is like that
of the northwestern Pacific states. The
boats run the year round. and the mills
could be built on the shore and have
excellent shipping facilities. Much Of
the timber is offered for sale at from
SO cents to $3.50 per thousand feet. and
the cost of the wood when delivered to
the pulp mills would be only about So
per cord. The Canadian mills are now
paying for similar wood Sc or 81 per
cord. Some of the United States mills
are paying $16 and more. The forest
service has picked out five locations
where it is believed pulp mills would
pay. Each is surrounded by large
bodies of valuable timber and each has
water power that could easily be de-
veloped. So far no pulp mills have
been established there"

stumbling block in the career of Rus

acute, and the duma soon after its or

for its alienation. These methods in
volved the compulsory alienation at a
fair price of very large estates, a pro-

change in the electoral law. calculated
to place the balance of power in the

A great measure of bird conservation
