OOODNO W. Washington, Feb. 17. At one stroke of the Lleuteuaut Governor's pen, 150,000,1(00 aores ef foreat land in Britiah Columbia tiara been placed In reserve. This in clude every aore of the provinos's tluiherlanda, exoept what haa bon leased. This is as much laud ae was put in Ilia National 'Foreals of this country between the yaara 1HU1 and 1U07. The action wm taken to check wat"ful rx'ilottatlou of . tluihor re uroes and la hrlng the care and cutting of timber morn effectually under government control. The province has bean leasing tlm berland Instead of Rolling it. The most of the leasing haa beu done the past three or four year, and Aniarl- ran a hold the largest part of the 10,0X10 lean a now in feroa. The leaa la, la ita effect, a leng term optieu at low rata, tt ruua 31 years and may be re newed at the end of the Brat term The Iraaee pays 85 centa a year un til he Is ready to cut the timber, whan lie paya a royalty of 60 cauls per 1000 feet, hoard measure, for the tim ber removed. The Income of the Pro vince from leaaee waa about f t.375,CKK laat year. British Colombia ia the lnti.it of the great eofl wood tiiiilxT regions to be invade 1 by lumberinen.

The piue wooda of the Lake States held ool a long time, but the decline finally became so rapid tbat the aeene of' operations wss ahiflsd to Washington and Oregon, The output of the Page! Sennd region reee to first place, sad It is still at lop notch, Bot holdings are harder to get, and buyers and specnlatora have crossed into Britiah Columbia While there are many rich stands of timber In the Province, it is doubtful if the forest woods furnish m cat of mors than 100 to ISO billion feet of lumber less than what this country uses in 18 months Brltiah Columbia doe not permit the export of logs cat on provincial land. They meat 'be sawsl by asills In the Province, wbloh evidently in tends not only to take care of Ita tim ber, bat to make the most of It. An export duty hss been aerlomly coo sidered by the Dominion Government for all the provinces of Canada II is apparent that British Colombia will net be slow to take any advantage whlob the forthei diminishing of th timber supply of the United Stales may afford her in the lumber trsde. A Roy I Slew. It may be of Interest to eor readers to knew that an aotoal inoldent fur nished the aothor of "A Royal Slave" with the initial Idea out of whloh this great play was evolved. The little Item of news appeared In tae daily papers at that time. It is as follows: "A wealthy Mexican gentleman who was known to possess a vast hidden estate, aaddenly disappeared and was finally given up by his family. Sever at years later gang of celebrated bandits was surprised - and captured In tbslr stronghold snd a poor, insaoe man readied, H was taken to a hos pital in the city of Mexico, where an operation of trepannlug the ekull waa performed on him, hi reason return Ing. lie proved lo be the long -lost gentleman who had been captured by the bandits, who. In trying to force him to tell the hiding place 'of his fortune, had s'ruok him a severe blow sn the head which dented the skoll and rendered him inaaue. He had been a capti ve for years, the bandits hoping that be might remember, in his half lucid moments, the tuoch coveted acret hiding place, and re veal it." Knowing this actual incident, it will be all the more interesting to the public to follow the play iteelf, and to observe how much of this charmingly drainatio story la due also to the splendid imaginative and creat ive power of the author. "A Royal Wave" also adds deep heart interest ami tne moat lieautiful a enlo surrounding with which a plav conld ha embellished, aa the a eni'8 are laid' ill' Mexico, proverbially the land of Muuahine and flowers, of palms and fountain. No play ban ap peared in thia country for year of which the press speaks lo such un stinted and unqualified praiao. Opera Mouse, February SJ.
