For the Good of the People Conservation oi resources is as suredly a most desirable thing and it should be thoroughly and compte- henwvely, hut diacriininatingly, prac ticed. Wherever there are resources •ceding conservation they should be conserved. But they are to be con served. not for their own sake, but for their subsequent use for the good of the people. Simply to lock them up against use would be at par with the miser's hoarding of gold just for the suite of hoarding.— New York Tribune.

Wednesday, June 1, 19:0, will be remembered as the day on which the first piling for the Floras Lake Paci fic canal was cut under the super vision of Chief Engineer Purdy. The crew at present are getting out the spruce and fir piling which will be hauled to the sawmill and slabbed on two sides. The cedar piling, which will be used last, will not be cut until the spruce an 1 fir piles are cut and are out of the way. The building of the canal will itquire 4,500 piling of all description, and the crew is at work in some of the finest piling timber of the State. This work will give employment to a number of men for several months. — Lakeport Banner. ---- ovu-— Rev Father Kevetjcy went down the coast the first of the week.
