Thcro Is 110 business In tho world that shows tho predominant trait of tint Amurlcnn as does tho lumber biiBlncss. The fling at tho Amorlcani umdr. by a scion of nobility recently on his vlBlt to this country that: "Tnoy nro alt on tho hoji, to tmo ono of their own expressions," has nioro truth than poetry In It. And thlB Irnlt Is moru uhnorntally dovoloped, or at least is given Kreator proml nonce In tliu manipulations or me lumber manufacturers than In any oilier lino of business enterprises. Almnliitn disregard for tho future tecum to prevail In all theso opera tlons. Tho one aim scorns to bo to lv( tho maximum amount of avail cblo timber off of a kIu" lloco or land nt tho minimum of cost. No thought Ih given to thu reforostliiK of this land In tho operations of cut Hub tho timber, no protection to the young growth Is considered; simply to skin the land or uvury available fool or slumpagu at the lenHl pos hIIiIii exttuiiHo. Tho result Is that bv sides harvesting tho logltlmato' fruit ago of maluro trees thu pohmohhIoiik of tho generations to como aro he. lug Impoverished by tho destruction of tho younger growth, and tho ra pacity of llio lumber IntureslH Is no great that tho lumber supply, winen a few years ago was estimated to bo surflelont to last for 1"" yt'ars will have been exhausted by the end or .10 yearn. Truauwitll Cleveland, Jr., In a elr eular truamiir upon thu ctmmirvn tlon or thu forests, soil, water, etc., uiivu!

Take the ease or YCi.nw nine, which now heads Hit list in tho volume or annual cut. Hi HHI It Is estimated thai only one hair of all the yellow pluo cut ilur lug the season was used, and that the other half, amounting to K.uw.Oul I'ordH. wim wasted. Such waste Is typical. Mr, II. A. Long, In his ad dress on 'Forest Conservation' at Ha Coufereiico of (loveruoi'H lmt xprlug pointed out Hint 30 percent of the yellow pine was simply left In woods a waste which represents tin tho timber growing on IlOO.tlOO acres "The rest of tho waste takes place at tho mill. Of course. It would never do to speak or the material rejected ul the mill na waste unless this ma terlal could bo turned to use by some letter and more thorough form or utilization. Hut In many other cases wo know, and In many other cases wo hnve excellent reason to believe, that most, If not all, of this material could bo used with profit. It Is siuipl a iiuestloii or Intelligent Investigation ami, iiidio than all, having the will to economize, "Hui there aro other ways to con servo thu forests besides cutting Hi half the present waste of forest pro ducts, Tho forests can bo mado to produce threo or four limes as rapidly us they do at present. This is true of both tho vlrglu forests and tho cut over lauds. Virgin forests aro often fully stocked with first-class timber, but this stock has been laid in very slowly, on account of tho wasteful competition which Is carried on con bluntly between tho rival trees. Then too, In thu vlrglu forests there are very many trees which havo reached nuUiuity and stopped growing, and these occupy more space which if held by younger trees, would be lay ing lu a now stock constantly. As regards tliu cut-over land, severe cut ting, followed by fire, has checked growth so seriously that Hi most eases reproduction Is both poor and slow, while Hi many other cases then is 110 truu forest repioductlon at all at present, and theru Is but little hope for the future." Now that Reuf has been convict ed, it is up to the perjured blacklegs who liberated Schinitz to set Reuf free, and dollars to doughnuts they do so. ,1,,- Not the label on your paper.
