In considering the potentialities of our forest" areas. their capability of ai- fording a continuous crop should be kept clearly in view. Even under the discouraging conditions prevail- ing in our lumberiregiionsafter log- ging operations have ceased. it will be -found in most cases that another crop. either of theoriginal or other varieties is fast springing up and in my calculation of the value of a timbered territory. which is to re- main permanently in forest. this growing crop should be taken into account. , V A V - _,_.__, .. ......-.. uuuu a van} iuxigu pencientage of this timber is not at present available. and that conse- .quen_tly its value is overestimated. but when we consider the great ap- preciation in the value -of` timber limits within the 'iast'It-en or twenty years and the soarcity of the world's supplytor the f_uture. it is almost certain that the enhanced value that will .be`.obtained in the .future -for what is now inaccessible will more than pay compound interest on the `present estimated value. llui- -1. - - _Xt`l-vthev low-est the value of such: timber standing in the tree may be put at `$1.00 per thousand feeteboard measure. that would amount to $192, 000,000; This represents only what might be collected by the Govern- ment as 'a- royalty. and forms -but a small part of. its value to the `country as a whole. -Much of the timber is growing on land unsuitable for .-agriculture`, but where" water power is `abundant. and with the power thus at hand this country should (be. without a -rival in t'.h.e' man ufaoture of all eartio`-lea in which timiber forms the ohief ingrellient.
