of the country's most pressing prob lens of conservation. The need is for scientific and systematic reforesta- tion. Lands there are in plenty, and nature has done wonders in replacing destroyed forests, but she must have help if one of the nations most val uable natural resources is to be saved from total loss.
 The problem, of course, goes much deeper than the mere value of wood as a material for construction, all though this is great enough Ma ture needs forests for other purposes, and their removal upsets her scheme of things. Floods follow, and other unpleasant consequences. The forest service is branch of the government that the new administration may well adopt as one of it's favored children.- New York Post.

THE NEW PULP FREIGHT TARIFF

The action of the Alaska Steamship Company in making $5 a ton rate on pulp from Speel river to Seattle is pleasing to the people of Alaska who appreciate efforts at cooperation for the development of the territory. Sometime ago when it was announced that the steamship companies had re- fused to make a lower rate for pulp than $9 a ton considerable feeling was developed against the companies h. quiries made brought forth the ex- planation that inasmuch as pulp was a new commodity in the Alaska trade no special classification had been made for it, therefore the best that could be done would be to quote the lowest rate allowed in the general classifications. The steamship peo- pie immediately took the matter up, however, and last week a special classification was approved making the $5 rate per ton weight. This is much less than a measurement rate would be, is much less than that for canned salmon, which is $750 ton, measurement, or for 1,296 pound cans of salmon.-Juneau Empire.

STRAIGHT TO THE MARK

The former Governor of Illinois generally is recognized as man of attainments, a business man whose knowledge of economic administra- tion of public affairs brilliantly was demonstrated in his labors as chief executive of that state.
 Governor Lowden's administration attracted the attention of the coun. try. He stopped waste, killed com petition between commissions, uni, fed and organized boards and de, partments, instituted responsibility ard compelled economical eXpendi. ture of the states money along with economical conduct cf the states business.
 MT Lowden's vision ;s not provin, cie!. In a speech the other day he sped an arrow stra1ghr to the marx when he declare1 thet the treasui y department is itself spending de partment on a large scale, and it's natural function is to protect the treasury against unreasonable Ge- mands from other departments.
 There are strong signs that the present administration intends to give ear and support to the suggestions of business men that the time has ar rived when the national government should be conducted on business prin- ciples.
 According to Governor Lowden, such functions as care for the public wealth, the construction of public buildings, the coast guard and all others which have no connection with fiscal management should be taken away from the treasury department and placed where they will be asso- ciated with affiliated activities. He properly holds that the treasury de- partment should have no other duty than to administer and safeguard the public revenues.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

TO SAVE THE FORESTS

Three-fifths of the forests of the United States have vanished before the axe and saw of the woodman, and the demand for timber, despite the use of many substitutes, is growing every year. Of the remaining stand ing timber, 61 per cent is west of the Great Plains. Reforestation is only begun. There are S1,OOO,OOO acres Of cut-over forest land in the coun- try awaiting reforestation, and S. 100000 acres are being added to this vast territory every year.
 Officials of the United States forest service have made these figures pub lie in the hope of arousing interest in what is agreed to be one

A MISTAKEN IDEA

People are prone to say that the people of the north get very little out of the salmon canning industry in Alaska aside from the taxes levied against the industry. It is said that the canneries rob Alaskan waters of their fish and depart leaving little in wages or profits to Alaska busi- ness or workingmen.
 It is unfortunate that the cannery industry is not more closely identified with Alaska It is unfortunate that there are not more cannery head quarters in Alaskan towns and that more owners, managers, superintend- ents, etc, do not make their head quarters here. It is unfortunate that more of them do not devote their talent and capital and equipment to other classes of fishing when the cannery season closes and before it opens. It is unfortunate that the energy, technical knowledge and skill and capital that is employed in the salmon canning industry is not used between seasons to develop the many other potential sources of profit in food fish and other products and by products of the sea. It is unfortun- ate that the salmon canners have not seen fit to expand their operations in Alaska so that they would be all thn-vnor nr nearly cn ct1,io nd thus add many thousands to the popu- latiOn of Alaska. It would seem that in the end such expansion would work to the profit of the men and capital engaged in the fisheries indus try, because it would add so many other sources of income to assist in carrying the overhead cost of organ ization and capital employed.
 However, those people who say the cannery industry, even as carried on now, and as it has been carried on in the past, has not been source of great deal of business for every body in Alaska and has not created a great deal of work for permanent residents of the territory, speak very lightly and without knowledge. Form CT Senator Heckman illustrated this point the oither day when he called attention to the fact that one sawmill at Ketchikan last year paid out to labor engaged in saving lumber, mak- ing boxes, etc, for the cannerymen the sum of $125,000. This sawmill also paid $150,000 for logs-and most of this sum also went to laboring men engaged in logging, towing etc. This is just one sawmill company's record. There are many other saw mills in Alaska that have been kept busy by the salmon packers. Then we have the piledrivers, the car penters and other workmen who are employed each year in building traps, etc, and the hundreds of thousands paid to natives and other fishermen. In the year when the salmon pack CTS are busy there is hardly a day when cannery tenders are not in the harbors of Juneau, Ketchikan, Cor dova, Petersburg, Wrangell and other ports purchasing supplies, employing machinists and otherwise contribut- ing to the volume of business.-Em- pire.

Yellowstone provides a huge hay
ranch for the sole purpose of feed

But so rapidly is the park herd
growing that this ranch will soon

"And the method of accomplishing
that is by transmutation. We trans
