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

to the pine and hemlork fnrtiete of

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

export duty hss been aerlomly coo

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.

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
