BOOTH DEFENDS Small Number Make a Profit Over a Long Period of Years. Ottawa, April 18.--A brisk de- fence of the much-attacked "lumber barons' of Canada together with a spirited indictment of "prospectors who burn down a hundred dollars' worth of Canada's timber to get a dollar's worth of mineral," distin- guishes the first public interview to CANADK'S LUMBER BARONS when the price of sawn white pine iwas just twelve and thirteen dollars | a thousand feet. The price for the | same grade én 1923 is close to eigh-| {ty dollars a' thousand feet. { | "I can see no other remedy for the | |ever<increasing ruin of the forest | | resources of this country," observed | | Mr. Booth, *'except to let the people | bring themselves to such a tragic | condition of scarce timber and pulp- wood with extreme costs for every foot of cord they buy thet some dras-| tic cure will be sought and applied.

Speaking to the editor of the Can- adian Forestry Magazine, Mr. Booth said that he did not find that as many as fifteen per cent. of operat- ing lumbermen were able to make a profit gver a long period of years. "I have in mind," he said, "not only the hundreds of small operat- ors who thrived a while and went out of business 'broke' or nearly so, but the big lumbermen as well. Six out of seven in-one district I know retired from the fleld either with no gains at all or with a loss up to a few hundred thousands. . "And yet, the public nfind," Mr. Booth continued, "is stuffed with JOHN R. BOOTH false notions that because a man. is in the lumber business with a gov- | ernment limit, he has taken an_un- fair advantage of his fellow men javd is a fit target for punishment. lr do not think that the public are prejudiced against lumbermen, as in- dividuals, but they do feel some bit- terness towards men who are deal- {ing in the leased property of the state. They are ready to exclaim: "That men has established a big in- dustry on publiccowned timber | lands,' forgetting that for every dol-| lar the lumberman takes out for himself, the workers, the merchants, the railroads, the public treasury, all take many dollars." "Does public ignorance of the lumberman's position account for so many forest fires?" "It does account for the swarms of prospectors' fires," he replied, with sudden emergy. "Take for example the Montreal River spruce country, a few years ago absolutely green. Spruce stood as thick almost as corn stalks--a beautiful country, as fine as I ever saw. I could not find traces of a single fire over the whole ex- tent. Well, it was opened to pros- pectors, opened, mind you, without evidence of a solitary mineral show- ing on any part of it, no preliminary survey by geologists. To this day not a mine or a real "has been uncovered on that 1,700 miles, but," Mr. Booth's eyes flashed a world of feeling, "" a horde of frre- sponsible men seeking non-existent mines have destroyed from one-third to a half of that country. They have ruined as mueh timber as would have kept the Ottawa mills running for twenty-five years 3nd the end of their devastation is not yet.
