Why is the opal considered un- lucky? It is Jeweller who is to blame for OE tion. Anyone who has handled an opal' knows of the brilliant colors that can | be seen as the stone is turned round. These prismatic effects are produced by myriads of tiny cracks, which re- flect the light from different angles. But it stands to reason that a stone that is cracked here, there, and every- where, is extremely likely to break or split under the process of grinding, polishing and setting, and it is the ill luck jewellers have with these stones that accounts for the superstitution at- tached to them, 'When an opal is exposed even to the slight heat of an open fire some feet away, it is likely to be destroyed. y al '|It is mainly composed of silica, and : .

Labor problems, in «ansider- able part 'due to the unsound anftus- trial situation, loom up with no maneitt sdiusime t in sight. The fs. sipati orests goes on' no let-up, and still for the most part without any provision for the continu- ance of the forests after lumbering. Exhaustion of local forest supplies, the closing of industries d t on them, the embarrassment for supplies the pulp mills and other consumers | using special classes of forest pro- ducts, the generally mounting prices to consumers, are other factors which are calling sharp attention to the ef- fect of forest destruction, and are causing increasing public uneasiness. Lumbermen are giving thoughtful study to the needs of the industry; and they recognize that many things of a helpful and constructive charaec« ter can be done within the industry it- gelf in the way. of cost accounting, needs of the trade, scientific merchan- dising, economies in manufacture, conservatism fn finance, diffusion of information. about production, mar kets, price movements, existing stocks and shipments, and so on. I judge that progressive steps are very gener. ally under way in such matters, and that lumbermen are going as far.as they can to improve the internal situa- tion. There are. things that can be accomplished through eg-operation with existing" public agencies; u a economic, industrial, and techni search, and in q stration o ve nical methods. 'I'beHeve that a great many valuable a for the Number 'industry can thus be brought about. But neither the lumber industry nor the public can ignore the fact that the not only involve the permanence and stability of thé interests dependent solved. These problems fall into four general groups; those relating to the causes of over-production thosg that concern the supply, character, well- being, and stability of labor; the pro- 'blem of the continuance; of private forests and of stum supply, and certain questions relat .to our pub- lc forests. = " BC SLASH BURNING.

Behind the lake Mt. Lefroy towers like a giant to the héavens, reaching an_ altitude of over 10,000 feet--one huge mass of dazzling snow and ice, resenibling the Matterhorn in Swit. gerland. Mt. Aberdeen and the Vio toria Glacier form a background unsur- passed for grandeur. The surrounding country suggests an Alpine valley. Ranges of snow- clad- mountains stretch as far as the eye can reach, while the air is filled with the scent of the pines. Flowers of brilliant color bloom everywhere. Facilities can be obtained at the Chateau to escort parties going to Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks by automobile or carriage; ponies can also be hired to take tour- ists to Lake Agnes and Mirror 'Lake. On the way to Morrine Lake a splen- did view of Mt. Temple is obtained. This mountain fs one of the highest peaks in the Rockies, rising to an alti tude of 11,000 feet. Its sides resemble walls of solid ice, and its crest is cov- ered with snow. At this point a fine view of the Bow Valley is obtained from a height of 11,000 ft, the river looking like a slendér silver thread down in the valley. Still other beauty are the Giants' Steps and Para: dise Valley, where the opalescent wa: ters come thundering down from the sublime heights above, forcing their way through the mountains to the dis- tant valley. Moraine Lake is soon reached, and the tourist is allowed half an hour to rest before the return journey, en- abling him to enjoy the magnificent scenery. Moraine Lake lies at the base of the Ten Peaks, a chain of mountains all over 10,000 feet high, covered with snow.
