minion of Canada and asked to see
Lord Strathcona, saying that he was
the cabman who drove young Donald
Smith down to the docks and his ship
when years ago he left Caledonia to
make his fortune in Canada.
Lord Strathcona gave orders that he
should be shown in at once, and right
pleasantly the two old men gossiped
of "Auld Lang Syne" and "Bonnie
Scotland." Suddenly the cabman
heaved a portentous sigh. Lord Strath
cona asked its meaning. The cabman
axplained.
He had not been prosperous, but had
fallen on evil days. He had to sup
port two grandsons, and one of them,
to his grief, had just died. He had
little enough to bury him with and
next to nothing with which to main
tain hlnvself and the- other. Lord
Strathcoiia passed a five-pound note
quickly into the waiting hand of the
tearful grandfather.
Now the cabman had just made his
second call and the high commission
er, not forgetful of his first visit, had
the veteran driver brought into his
private room. Once more the atmos
phere of the office became thick with
Highland reminiscences. Once more,
too, the cabman sighed, and then with
breaking voice he related how in his
old age he had to support hl two
grandsons, and now both of them were
down with typhoid fever. ;Once more
Lord Strathcona's purse strings were
loosened and he passed coins into the
old cabman's hands, who tottered out
stammering his thanks,
i. Now, Lord Strathcona's secretary
had been an auditor of the scene.
When1 the cabman had gone ha came
forward.
"I hope, my lord," said he, "you did
not give him anything. When he saw
you some months ago he told you that
of his two grandsons one was dead.
Now he says both are down with ty
phoid fever. It looks, my lord, as if
he might be an Impostor."
Lord Strathcona eyed his wen-
meaning secretary from underneath
his bushy brows.'
'Thank you, thank you, very much,
Mr. Jones," he purred, "but do you
know that when I went out to Canada
first I was not driven down to the
docks in a cab at all, but just wheeled
my own things to the ship in a wheelbarrow?"

Reservations of a Practical Timber'
W man Plllrlu Sat PnrlK
(By J. S. Young, Inman-Foulsen Log
ging Co., Kelso, Wash.)
-Tlitf Tiiiihermau: As the question of
conserving our present forests and re
foresting our logged-off lands is now
commanding so much attention, a few
observations from' one who has given
the subject considerable thought may
not be out of place.
People who are dealing with statistics
and theories tell us that our forests will
be practically exhausted in fifty years,
at the present rate of cutting; and as
the rate of consumption will undoubt
edly increase, it would seem that our
only hope of a supply for future gener
ations is in growing more trees.
The question of conserving and pro
tecting our forests and raising another
crop of timber to take the place of the
one we are now cutting and destroying
is purely an economic one, and not gov
erned by academic theories. Hence, we
wtll conserve and protect our present
forests, plant and raise a new crop of
trees on our logged-off lands just as
soon as we find out that it pays to
do so.
The writer remembers doing a lot of
hard work, in early life, along with
many others, destroying our forests that
we might raise grain and garden truck
to eat and hay for our stock; and why!
Because these things to us had a value.
and trees had none. We could not eat
them and nobody wanted to buy them.
But mark the change today. The trees
have a value; our torests are at the
present time one of the chief sources of
wealth to the states along the Pacific
Coast, and where the conditions for re
foresting are so favorable, they can be
made a source of wealth for all time to
come. But as approximately only 20
per cent of the standing timber of the
country is in the hands of the govern
ment and about 80 per cent under pri
vate ownership, the question of refor
estation presents some serious difficul
ties. .
What is the age of our present for
ests! What are the means to be em
ployed to retorest our logged-off lands?
What length of time will it taket What
benefits can be derived! And then
the great question, Will it payt
To the hrst question, I would answer:
From 100 to 400 years." The na
tional government is at the present time
gathering the data to answer questions
two and three.
The wrkor has made some observa
tions regarding the growth of timber,
which lead him to believe that growing
timber will pay. I have found trees 135
years old 52 inches in diamoter on the
stump, that cut over six thousand feet
of merchantable lumber. The annual
growth showed these trees, were 24
nches on the stump at 40 years and at
that time should cut 900 feet of lumber.
From my observations, extending over
several sections of timber, 100 trees 16
to 18 inches in diameter can be grown
on each acre in 40 years and these will
make 30,000 feet of merchantable lum
ber; these same trees will cut 75,000
feet at the end of 125 years. The
question is, What will be the, value of
this 30,000 feet of timber grown on an
acre in 40 years or the 75,000 feet
grown on an acre in 125 years! I will
Hazard a guess hat 30,000 feet of
standing timber will be -worth $8 per
