April 19 to 25 Proclaimed As "Save the Forest Week" Hon. Chas. Stewart, Minister of the Interior, Issues Earnâ€" est Message Relative to the Necessity for Moulding Public Opinion to See the Great Need for Forest Next week, April 19th to April 25th, has been officially proclaimed as ‘‘Save the Forest Week."‘ It is a week of special importance to the North Land. There has been some talk of ‘*conserving‘‘ the forest by a pulpwood embargo. Nothing is to ibe accomplished by that plan. Pulpâ€" wood that is cut has either to rot or be used. Hon, Chas. Stewart, Minisâ€" ter of the Interior, takes a broader view of forest conservation than any simple talk about an embargo. In a message recently issued he touches on the vital facts in the case. In fact, it would be difficult to find a more suitable summary of the case for ‘‘Save the Forest Week,‘‘ than this same message by the Minister of the Interior. The Message as issued by Hon. Mr. Stewart is as follows:â€" 1 ‘The more we study the role which the forest plays in our Canadian lifeâ€"in industry, in recreation, and in its attractions to touristsâ€"the more we stand amazed and appalled by the apathy of the majority of the people of this country toward our forest fire problem. _ We have not yet developed a national consciousness of the effects of ~forest destruction on employâ€" ment, on railway traffic, on tourist business, and on the prosperity of hundreds of municipalities whose very existence is menaced when the forests burn. ® THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ©The war has Jleft this country burdened with debt, federal, provinâ€" cial, and municipal. â€" Taxation weighs heavily on the people, and fixed charges eat up ‘funds which, in A young country, should go into imâ€" provements, public works, and similar constructive uses. In this unenviable state we not only ignore the necessity of conserving one of our greatest natural resources, but complacently watch the mounting losses from forest fires wipe out potential sources of taxation, which could, with proper care and forethought, prove a mighty asset in freeing us from the shackles which now ‘bind us. DAVIDSON CASE MAY BBE SETTLED OUT OF COURT. ‘‘We ‘have in this country a disâ€" tinct concentration â€" of population in urban centres. Many thosands of our people have no intimate contact with the iforest, and forest destrucâ€" tion conveys no personal message to them as being a matter vitally affectâ€" ing their welfare and the welfare of their children. Yet the ultimate loss is borne not solely by the lumberâ€" There seems to be a good probaâ€" bility that the Poreupine Davidson case may be settled out of court. On Thursday last The Toronto Mail Empire had the following in referâ€" ence to the matter:â€"â€" the ecase of Porecupineâ€"Davyâ€" idson Mines versus the Davidson Conâ€" solidated Mines came up in the local court this week, the trial was adjourn ed for two weeks, pending a settleâ€" ment out of court. Negotiations have been carried on since and a settlement has practically been reached. "Both parties want the matter settled out of court, because the legal procedure â€" would, reduce treasury funds. The crucial question is the division of ceash in the treasury, which â€" amounts to_ approximately $200.000. _ Legal â€" proceedings and plant depreciation, etc., over a period of one or two years could easily reâ€" duce or offset the disputed funds by $75,000. ©The Porcupine Davidson will proâ€" bably allow the mine property asS it stands, fully equipped, to revert to the Davidson Consolidated, in lieu of cancellation by the Davidson Consoliâ€" dated of the loan of some $475,000 made to the Poreupineâ€"Davidson. The Porcupineâ€"Davidson require funds to develop another property they have in view, while the Davidson requires some working capital. An agreement has virtually been reached whereby Davidson Consolidated will receive nearly oneâ€"quarter of the cash in the treasury. â€" This would enable the company to resume operations _ at once. ‘‘The Financial News Bureau of Canada says that under such an agree ment, Davidson Consolidated shareâ€" holders would be in an interesting position. â€" Their Davidson Consoliâ€" dated Rights would give them excluâ€" sive possession of the property, and their holdings of Poreupineâ€"Davidson stock an interest, not only in the treasury funds of the Poreupineâ€"Daâ€" vidson, but in any property that the company may acquire and develop. Conservation. man who loses his timber, or by the settler who loses his home. It is shared by the railways, which have less to haul, and by the comâ€" munity, which loses tourist traffiecâ€" for what attractions has a fineâ€"swept area denuded of timber and devoid of: wild life? t is shared iby the city manufacturer, who has less market for his produce in the fire ravaged district, and by his employees, who must â€" work shorter ‘hours in conseâ€" quence. _ And finally, it shared by you and me, who must pay â€" higher taxes to make up the revenue which thecountry loses when the forests are destroved. "©There is another aspect of the situation which has not been brought home â€" to our citizens. How â€" many realize that in Canada, to an extent probably not equalled in any other count;y in the world, the forests belong to the people. The fact is that over 85 per cent. of our forest area is in public ownership, held in trust for the permanent use and bene fit of the people of this country. â€" How are we Canadians protecting this proâ€" perty ? Records show that ninety per cent. of forest fires are the result of our ignorance and neglect. We are criminally careless, and are fast reapâ€" ing the results of that carelessness in higher prices for lumber and other forest products in a country which should have the cheapest wood matâ€" erials in the world. We are wasting our reserves at a time when the whole world is becoming aroused about an economic condition which, were we protecting oun timber supplies, would rebound to our mwealth and prosperity. ‘©Curtailment of our present fonestâ€" fire loses is hopeless until such time as public opinion shall ‘become aroused, shall demand punishment for carelessness with fire in the forest, and shall require effective precautions in logging and land clearing operâ€" ations. In other wonds, Fire Preâ€" vention is the only real cure for Forest Destruction. "In order to bring these facts to the attention _ of the public, the Dominion Government, with the conâ€" currence of the provinces, has proâ€" claimed the week Apumil 19 to 25 as ©Save the Forest Week.‘‘ It is the duty of every true citizen to give earnâ€" est thought to these matters, and to play his part in moulding public opinâ€" ion to the necessity of conserving the ereat forest heritage of Canada.‘"‘ THEY NEVER FORGET THE NORTH IN TAXATION ‘NMorthern ‘Ontario contributes more per capita in pnovincial taxes than any other part of the province but when it comes to redlqtrlbutlonâ€"â€"- oh, well, that‘is a different matter.‘ Season Tickets are on sale this year for the complete football season, They will give entry to any event unâ€" der the Timmins Football Club.
