D. Barnjum, Montreal, has spent much money and more time urging better ways of conserving of est fire is started that may Gestro millions of dollars‘ worth of valuabl timber, millions of acres of youn growth and even the very soil, not t mention the homes of the people an in frequent instances their lives a "The only possible hope of reducing our forest fire losses is through slash disposal. This fact is acknowledged by all who are familiar with the subject. "The simple method for disposal of this terrible menace is to put the tops and branches into small piles and burn them when the snow is on the ground, while the logging operation is going on. This leaves a clean forest floor instead of a huge quantity of dry fireâ€" kindling slash ready for the first spark. Slash is burned as a regular part of the logging operations in many portions of the West. The loggers usually object to it at first but soon favour it beâ€" cause it pays for itself in cheapening to it at first but soon favour it beâ€" cause it pays for itself in cheapening the cost of logging and the greater case of getting about in the forest in haulâ€" ing out the logs or wood. tion. In a recent Mr. Barnjum poin as the most pressit "Since the basic fire menace 1s Sso apparent and the remedy so easy to apply, the average common sense readâ€" er might ask why something has not already been done. The answer is simple. It is because of lack of coâ€" operation on the part of the Dominion and Provincial Governments in forâ€" mulating a national forest policy with uniform slash disposal regulations so that all Canadian woods operations would be on an equal basis. This is why I have appealed to the Prime Minâ€" ister of Canada urging him to call a conference of the Provincial Governâ€" mental heads to formulate such reguâ€" lations. "As it is, our governments are spendâ€" ing millions of dollars of the taxpayers‘ money fighting forest fires which they are in a large measure responsible for creating by their neglect in passing this simple measure of slash disposal. "If all the woodâ€"bearing provinces would unite in passingâ€"such a regulaâ€" tion, I am quite sure the paper comâ€" panies would welcome not only the reâ€" lief from anrxiety caused by the conâ€" tinual dread of forest fire wiping out their pulp supply, but in the saving it would make in the millions of dollars worth of raw material that would folâ€" low. The added cost, if any, would be a mere trifie in any event compared to the vast sum that would be saved. "In addition to the appalling fire hazard slash creates, it also constitutes a prolific breeding place for insects and fungous diseases. "If our governments would institute slash disposal regulations and at the same time reduce the cut on crown lands to a sufficient extent to provide a market for all the farmers and setâ€" tlers wood that is now being exported, we would have made a really worth while advance in forest conservation, while, without these important simple, logical reforms, the future is hopeless indeed. Forest fires have been more wide= spread in Canada this year than ever before in the history of the country, conflagrations occurring simultaneousâ€" ly over wide areas in every province in the Dominion, fully coroborating .my worst fears. Some of these fires that are now burning in the North will not be extinguished till winter sets in. This great catastrophe will be worth all its terrible gost, if it proves the means of forcing our governments to inauâ€" gurate a few common sense, preventaâ€" tive measures that will cost practically nothing except passing the regulations, instead of spending millions of dollars fightEng forest fires caused largely thros 4 lack of these simple reforms. "U$ »rtunately, from a publicity stanx int, practically all of Canada'si in the employ of either our governâ€" ments or the wood using industries, both of which seem to be interested primarily in hiding the impending wood shortage. How much wiser and more logical it would be to face the issue man fachion and then ao everyâ€" thing possible to conserve our small reâ€" maining wooded areas. "A very strong and concerted effort is even now being made to minimize our present fire and insect losses and also to exaggerate the amount of our remaining stand, through suppress.ion years to mature to pupWOoOd SiZze. ASs my statement, based on government ‘ statictics, that we now have only about six years commercially available wood supply, remains undisputed, the futiliâ€" ty of depending on reforestation as a remedy for our present critical situaâ€" tion will be perfectly apparent to anyâ€" one of ordinary intelligence. "We have only six years wood supâ€" ply and it takes forty years to raise a new crop, still practically nothing is being done to conserve even the little we have left.‘ T ed C nIn mt en be hu no mt, Drac i force 0 forest wealt id magazine but n thgé wWOOods pwood have been e tops and bran erthe lastic s needles dry ou es as inflammabl n the dropping of ette stub, spark | 1¢ THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO anxie ssiblyv han ta worthy letter 125 ) flame and a for that may destro worth of valuabl OVU conserving OT In the newsâ€" he has beson st conservation. f his sincerity, Ing of a m jark or bC would ctful.

Lake Musâ€" kcka was then called by the French "Petit Lac des Hurons." Some historic interest attaches to Lake of Bays, forâ€" merly called "Trading Lake" from the location of a Hudson‘s Bay Company‘s post on a narrow neck on the east side Dedicated to camps, cottages and routes Kipling described the region fo: all time as the "Land of Little Lakes‘ The Indians called it "Clear Sky Land, "Muskoka or Mesquaâ€"Okee," while the "Muskoka or Mesquaâ€"Okee," while the tourist has christened it the "Palm Beach of Ontario." Only 112 miles from Toronto it is a vast outdoor sanâ€" atorium. In every town along the waâ€" terways there are camp guides, sort of Cook‘s Tour woodland conductors. one of the charms of the summering and wintering resorts of Canada is that the city with its comforts of electricity, radio, steam heat and French cookâ€" ing, its recreations of tennis, golf and bridge have been brought into the wilds without spoiling them, as at the variâ€" ous resorts on the Lake of Bays, lakes Joseph, Rosseau and Muskoka. Outâ€" side of such small centres of civilizaâ€" tion the sgreat waterâ€"broken, forested terrain summons the Cl cwn untamed fastnesses The southwest corner of the map reâ€" veals a small portion of Georgian Bay, whose tens of thousands of islands, tradition says, were created by Kitchis Kewana of the Ojibiways for his sweetâ€" heart‘s pleasure. Parry Sound, five hours from Toronto by rail, is the norâ€" thern gateway to Georgian Bay, as well as to the Maganatawan country farther north with its numerous unâ€" fished lakes. Near the south centre of the maypâ€" ped territory, close to where the north branch of the Muskoka river enters Muckoka lake, lies Bracebridge, the chief town, above a picturesque waterâ€" fall Founded in 1861 with two log huts and their attendant potato patches and boasting at that time a fallen pine tree for a bridge over the Muskoka, it now is the starting point for exploration of theâ€"river district. On the little rivers that lace the big and little lakes together one glides unâ€" der a green roof where the vegetation resembles a Florida everglade. To see the deer feeding on the lily pads, to startle a beaver engineer from his work of building a dam, to thrill to the crash of a moose heaving his great body through the birches, is the privilege of the canosist who takes the backways dition, ssued | of reports of losses and the printing of intentionally misleading statements. "It is very desirable to be optimistic. I have been an optimist when I was the only optimist I knew but it is very unâ€" wise to allow optimism to run away with our judgment. Anyone that can see any rainbows overhanging the criâ€" tical forest situation on this continent teday is surecly lacking in judgment to say the least. "All this propaganda about putting Canada‘s wooded areas on a sustained yield basis is nothing but the wickedest brand of dope, inscfar as this, or the next generation, is concerned. It will take fifty years to bring about this Utopian situation. India has been practicing scientific forestry for more than fifty years and she has not ye: arrived at this happy condition, while we have not even begun. Reforestation is also freely advertised as a method of providing our wood using with their raw material and while planting on a huge scale is imperative for posterity, this is merely another wicked attempt to fool the people.
