TIichq opliilono nro brought to tho attention of the publlo at largo through tho various mediums of pub lication. ' According to tho wlcdom of these oplnlonn tho policy becomes perma nent or flooting. All porsone aro not ot tho samo opinion, consequent ly there Is also n largo dlfferonco In public opinion, Influenced by read ing tho written opinions or others.

TIiIb In notably tho case whore tho writer Is a man of Intolllgonco In the publlo oyo and public spirited by a reputntlon deservedly, acqulrod. Therefore, oh Editor, do not value uullghtly tho offoct of your opinions which aro most properly In tho lat ter classification, for I make bold to suggest that your editorial on tho forest fires contains enough truth to mnko It mlslendtng mid not without a certain dangor in Influencing tho publlo mind In tho wrong direction.

Still we pursue tho "oven tenor of our wny." How can wo afford to disregard tho futuro supply ot tim ber? How can wo preach a doctrine of nnnunl destruction? Is it possi ble, Mr. Editor, to burn over large areas each year without destroying tho seedlings? thoso young trcos that must grot.- to forest giants and provldo an unfailing eourco ot timber supply? In Central Park, Now York city, wo havo an example of too much cleaning up. Each year tho leaves, twigs, branches nnd fallen bark aro raked and burned. Tho park covers an arcn of ono nnd ono-half miles wldo and three miles long. It Is full of doad and dying trees. By Au gust ot each year tho leaves ot living trees hnng brown nnd withered. Its soil Impoverished furnishes an ex ample food for thought. Surely wo aro not to bollovo that tho young tree Is to draw its nour ishment from tho rock. From what source Is nourishment to flow if year by year wo destroy tho forest carpet while year by year tho rainfall car ries off tho soil? It Is true that certnla sections nnd certain conditions warrant such a procedure and that under proper su vlslon burning nccummulated undor growth Is necessary. As a broad Vol ley It appears to mo n dangerous doctrine. Its possibilities aro a mo nann to our timber resources. Do wo pretend to oultlvnto our fruit landB year after yoar In this beautiful vnlloy without returning somo years to the soil forttllzor In tho form of covor crops, artificial for tlllzor or oven a weed crop lato in tho fall? Is It wisdom, then, to bxpoct tho forest soils to provldo a timber crop without a natural onrlrhinont? What nro tho coiiBoquonces to bo of a bap tism of flro? Rather would It ap poar to me, Mr. Editor, a wise pro coduro to emulate that oxcollont sys tem ot prevention piactlcod In largo centers. Tho policy that teaches that tho first flvo minutes at a tiro nro woi;th tlvo hours later, Jo ono suggosts that tho oxponso ot riro lighting Is any largo part of tho nnnunl calamity.
