In the large majority of instances, be prompted by the expectation of financial gain. A few cases where this does not hold, embrace land owned by the state, water companies1 in a few instances, clubs and a small number of individuals. To this latter group of owners, the Income from their hold- (tags is not as important as the pur­ pose to which a well-forested and [properly managed area wilt be put, •whether It be for its utility or aesthet­ ic value. The large majority Includes lumbermen, and owners of smaller •rout, who have made their invest­ ment upon a strictly business basis and who expect a suitable return from the same. If the forester can show the possibility of such a return, and at the same time provide for the preservation and Improvement of the •tand, he then advances the practical aide of the practice of his art. He may be dealing either with a large area, involving many conditions •s to topography, character ot timber, rate of growth, etc., necessitating dif­ ferent methods of ^cutting to obtain ^desirable reproduction, a future sup­ ply of stock, protection from windfall fend fire, or, he may have simply a fcrood lot problem to solve.

In a planting proposition, the return Is neces­ sarily remote. If, however, It can be shown that an area, now producing 1 per cent,, for example, capable of returning 3 per cent, per annum, j'kr .compound Interest, at the final harvest in 40 ^JW^earB, after deducting with Interest, the Initial • jesost of stock and planting, together with taxes >. /• ,,#®nd Are protection for the full period, is It not \'l% *%?ood business policy for many owners, whether Individual or company, to make such an lnvest- ' 'l «nent? It will be argued that only owners that able to hold an area permanently will care to v 'r ' wait 40 years for a return, and that very few ln- . SJviduals wuuid consent to an investment In which fjthe returns are deferred for so long a time. This true in almost all cases. There are, however,/- conditions which make such an Investment de- > It is not at all uncommon for plantations *1$%$ to be made, protected, and allowed to mature, in tJ?{"V'<>r<ler that tbe returns may be enjoyed by the ilext generation of a family, or &ave them take place of a life Insurance policy, f In practicing forestry, it must be realized at the j ioutset that an investment either of money or -V .marketable material left standing Is necessary, fe former Includes the extra cost of marking the -timber to be removed, care In protection of the i t ^„young growth, fire protection, including piling \0h< 'Coniferous tops and patrol, and a slight increase j&Y• In the cost of logging per thousand feet, as the |t:, r larger the amount of timber removed from a given ip;.-:,::area the less Is the cost per unit. Unless a clear i «y8tem i® employed, some marketable ^ i *®ia^erial must be left on the area cut over both f'/Y V'for seeding and in some cases for protecting the S!k" ^eeed trees from windfall. This comes under the latter form of Investment--namely, merchantable material. In return for this Investment of n r- chantable material, the condition of the forest is improved. Instead of removing all of the valu­ able species and leaving the area to reproduce the undesirable and less valuable, the reproduc­ tion of desirable species is provided for, and the future value of the area increased. For the successful operation of a working plan Mid the possibility of carrying It out for the full period specified, it is necessary for the forester and owner to meet on common ground. First of all, the forester must get the point of view of the owner, and arrive at a full understanding of his wishes and plans. This means that he cannot always provide for or obtain the results that may » / toe most desirable from a scientific point of view, jkv-' Many thoroughly desirable sllvicultural operations ^!v,C ®Mt toe ignored, for example, an improvement thinning may be scientifically necessary, but if . i there is no market for the material, and the own- does not wish to bear the expense, the opera- 0; „ tlon must be delayed until the material reaches a marfeetable 8lze- The flr8t thing, then. Is for the forester to meet the owner's wishes, making such scientific sacrifices as are necessary, and not making the plan as he, himself, would prefer. He then should make a thorough study of the mar­ kets of the region and plan hlB cut­ tings accordingly. Different localities vary in their ability to absorb a wide range and class of material. Cord wood may have no value, or It may be worth 25 cents or $1 a cord on the stump, and > so on up through the higher class of forest prod­ ucts. Failure to un­ derstand these conditions thoroughly, and the de­ mands of a region, may mean the financial fail­ ure of a plan. Oftentimes these local conditions preclude the possibility of certain provisions high­ ly desirable from a technical / standpoint, but which for practical reasons ar<6 impossible. In other words, the practical must be given full con­ sideration along with the technical. With complete co-operation between forester and owner, and a disposition on the part of both to make the necessary sacrifices, together with an understanding on the part of the former of the really practical side of the problem, there should be less and less cause for the abandon­ ment of the provisions of working plans made for definite periods. The first working plan In Vermont under the state forest service, was made by the writer while engaged as assistant to the state forester. The area treated is ownd by Dr. William Stanford Stevens of Albans, Vermont, and is located at Enosburg, in the same state. An outline of the work and its provisions follow. The area involved embraces 900 acres, divided as follows: Woodland, 360 acres; pasture land, 344 acres; meadow, 196 acres. The conditions that led the owner to consider the possibilities of forestry were these; The area had been maintained under a more or less diver­ sified system of farm management, and as the own­ er did not live on or near the property, he wished to be relieved of the care and attention that such an arrangement Involved. To accomplish this purpose it seemed best to bring the three classes of land under a definite and permanent system of management through the provisions and maintenance of a forest work­ ing plan. The provisions follow: 1. To complete the treatment of the whole tract at the end of ten years. 2. All woodland to be treated is divided into ten equal areas, one to be thinned In the fall and winter of each year 3. All pasture land Is divided Into ten equal areas, one to be planted in the spring of each year. 4. All meadow land will be maintained as such. 5. For each wooded area, the kind of thinning to employ 1b stated.; also a rough estimate, to­ gether with net value, of the amount to come out. 6. For each area to be planted, the species are selected and the number necessary given,,together with the total cost of the work. The woodland is mixed, hardwoods consisting of sugar maple, yellow birch, beech, and a small percentage of ash. basswood, poplar, lronwood, cherry and elm, with young hemlock and spruce reproduction well established on a few sections. Sugar maple reproduction Is especially good, and with ash and basswood is particularly desirable. In treating this area either reproduction or Im­ provement thinnings were prescribed, removing all undesirable and over-mature species and such mature species as seemed best for the require­ ments of the area. Thus only desirable species were left to reproduce as weil as to become more valuable through increased growth. In carrying out the field work for this plan, the area was first surveyed both by boundaries and types of land. It was necessary to ascertain the area of each, with the exception of meadow land, in order that the total could be divided into ten equal parts for annual treatment. Upon each wooded section the total stand of material was estimated, both in board feet and cords, the system of manage­ ment and the char­ acter of thinning necessary was pre­ scribed, and the material to come out the first year marked. Where a reproduction cut­ ting was recom­ mended, provisions for keeping cut g r a z i n g w e r e made. Upon each seo* tlon of pasture l£nd the necessary planting and spe­ cies were deter­ mined, together with the fencing required to pre­ vent grazing and k i l l i n g y o u n g planted material. In the office, a map was prepared showing each class of land together with the specified area to be thinned or planted each year. For example, 1910-1911-1912, etc., de­ note the year in which the area is to be cut, which I, lb, lc; II, III, etc., denote the area and order of planting; I to be planted In 1910, II in 1911, etc. In the written plan ? complete statement sf th* treatment of each section, both cutting and plant- ing, is given for each year. For example; 1910. Woodland. 22 acres will be thinned, la being clear cut for planting. Planting, 32.41 A will be planted with white pine, namely lb, c, d and e. la Is not to be treated; Id has been staked out. The other acres have definite boundaries. On this area th^re is sufficient cord wood availably tq make Its removal profitable. - 1911. Woodland. 20 acres will be thinned. Of this area 7.8 acres In the lot by the sugar-house have been marked for a reproduction cutting. Tract Vb will be clear cut for planting. Planting. Tract II. 37.36 A will be planted with white pine. AH apple trees, brakes and hard hack are to be removed. OUTLINE FOR CUTTING. Sale Price Sale Price Board. $3.50 $ *.30 Feet, per M.

It accounts for only 22 and 20 acres coming under management for the years given above, which is, of course, not oiio^icutu ui lii& lOitti urea ox woodiiDQ.) It Is estimated that the total receipts from the cutting, including the tract being cut under contract above mentioned, will pay the complete cost of planting and seedlings. The plan Just outlined means that at the end of the ten-year period the owner will have his wood­ land under a good system of forest management, and greatly improved over its present condition, together with 344 acres planted to Norway spruce and white pine, the cost of which being met as be­ fore state^ by the returns from the area itself. The returns irom thinnings which will be made on each section In the period from 1935 to 1945, mak­ ing each section thinned 25 years old, will give a considerable return. At this time about 400 trees per acre will be removed. From 1950 to 1960 the area will be clear cut by sections and replanted. The total yield from this cutting should be at least 30,000 board feet per acre. The plan also pro­ vides for proper fire protection, which is absolutely necessary for the successful maturing of a planta­ tion. It also states the conditions which any con­ tractor must meet who makes the cuttings during the next ten years. These conditions follow: 1. All trees to come out are blazed and stamped with the letter "V." 2. The contractor must take all marked and leave all unmarked trees. 3. Care In felling must be taken In order that .young growth and reproduction will not be injured. 4. All sound logs 6 Inches at the small end and over are to go into lumber. 5. Sound down timber and tops of felled trees are to be cut into cord wood. 6. Care must be taken In skidding logs not to In­ jure standing trees and reproduction. 7. The contractor will be liable to a penalty of twice the value of any tree that is cut not bearing the official stamp. 8. All work Is subject to inspection. The state forester also agrees to mark the trees to cut each year. While the owner himself will not enjoy this re­ turn, the plan offers an example of the Instance cited previously by which an individual Is willing to make a long-time Investment In order to make it possible for the next generation in his family to enjoy the results.

A few days before Lieutenant Faurot, in charge of the finger print department at police head- ' F , V - quarters, sailed for France, a big ne­ gro was brought in. He had been ar­ rested on general principles by an alert copper, but the policemen had no charge against him that would stick. Faurot took his finger prints. "Dis heah is «U foolishness," aaid the negro. "1 nebbah been arrested befo', and I doan like de way you-all treat me. I'm er hahd wukkin' man." He gave his right nanfe, too, and an address which proved to be accurate. But because the police still suspected him in spite of his good references they held him while ' Faurot went through the records of the bureau. Finally he looked up at the negro. "What were you doing out at Flatbush last Thursday night?" he demanded. The negro wilted. He admitted that iie had burglarized a house, when he was shown the finger prints he had left on a pane of glass. He told where h§ had pawned the silverware and Jewelry he had stolen, but he still persisted that,it was his first offense. And then Faurot asked him one more question. "Why," said he, "did you open the cage door and let that can­ ary out?" "Mlsteh," said the negro, "hea!h's where I weaken. I'll tell you the trufe.

RAlLfebAD AND TOWN AUTHOR* TtKt MADE ACQUAINTED < Somewhat Novel Seheme Adopted by Prominent Line, Which Promises to Be Fruitful of Most Ex­ cellent Results. During the months of April, May and June officers of the Oregon Short Line made a se­ ries of "get ac­ q u a i n t e d " t r i p s over the road. They used a train o f f i v e c a r s , which was run special and which was on the line a total of 22% work­ ing days. The par­ ty covered 6,530 miles by rail and a little over a thousand miles by automobile, made 117 stops varying from half an hour to 36 hours in length and me} over 7,000 people. All departments of the road were represented and local general agents of gome of the road's connections also were Included in the party at times. Its personnel was not the same on all the trips, as some changes were ne­ cessary In order to keep business moving at headquarters in Salt Lake City. The practice followed in arranging for the "get acquainted" visits at dif­ ferent places was for the vice-presi­ dent and general manager to wire to the local agent at each point where it was Intended to stop, advising him that a special train with representa­ tives of the various departments of the road was to be run over the line, making stops at all the larger towns, the purpose being "to widen the ac­ quaintance of the company's officials with citizens of the communities served by this railroad and to in- creaee thefr familiarity with condi­ tions throughout the territory." At the larger places the party made side trips about the town and neigh­ borhood In automobiles, afterward holding a business meeting. In small­ er towns It usually held the business meeting only. The trips have proved so successful, says the Railway Age Gazette, that notwithstanding the time or»d espsnj >lvod ft is be­ lieved that the plan of making them annually will be adopted by the com­ pany as a permanent policy. An of­ ficer of the road says: "We, were cordldlly received by the people everywhere and discussed an Immense number of complaints and suggestions covering practically every phase of the business of the railroad and its relations to the pub­ lic. Many minor matters were ad- Justed on the spot and others were taken under advisement, and in still other cases requests had to be re­ fused and the reasons why explained to the people. All this work was bet­ ter and more expeditiously accom­ plished than by any other methods would be possible. Our party was a sort of traveling general office, equip­ ped to handle almost any railroad question which might be presented." RAILROAD TIES IN CANADA Reports Shew Laslr Year's Consump­ tion Called for Large Expendi­ ture of Money. Official statistics with regard to the cros8tie consumption in Canada for 1910 show that there were 9,213,962 crosstles purchased in that year b7 the steam and electric roads of the Dominion, at a cost of $3,535,228. This is a decrease of 35 per cent, from the number purchased in 1909. Three kinds of wood--cedar. Jack pine and hemlock--furnished 77 per cent, of all the ties purchased. Cedar itself supplied 40 per cent, of the total consumption, and its use is increas­ ing yearly In proportion to other species. Oak, which makes an expen­ sive sleeper, costing 74 cents each, was used principally by a United States company having mileage In Canada. Of the total number of ties purchased 70 per cent, were hewn. The only important species that had a majority of sawn ties was oak. Sawn ties cost on the average 36 cents a tie, and hewn ties three cents more. The steam railroads used more than 95 per cent, of all the ties, and these cost them on the average 33 ceuts. The electric railways used 302,540 sleepers, an increase of 183 per cent, over 1909. They paid for their ties 41 cents each. Although in general they are smaller ties, this excess of three cents in the cost is due not only to the disadvantages Incident to coo- tracts for smaller quantities of ma­ terials, but also to the fact that the electric roads are more likely to pur­ chase ties at points where the price Includes transportation charges. "Railways" and "Railroads." We are all speaking of "railways" now instead of "railroads," as they do In America. Both words seem to be of about equal age In this country. Cobbett in 1832 wrote of "rail-ways" with the hyphen, Scott In 1831, or "railroads." But already In 1838 an engineering Journal declared that "railway" by this time seemed to be generally adopted as the popular form, though nearly 20 years later Ruskin still talked of "railroads." It Is curi­ ous that America has preserved the word which remembers the descent of the railway from the old road, while Americans speak of "engineers" and "conductors," where we say "drivers" and "guards," perpetuating the old coaching words.--London Chronicle. Pension System Spreading. A pension system has been adopted on the Oregon Short Line, the plan being the same as that which has been in effect for several years on the Southern Pacific and other lines In the Harriman system. Throughout the system the number of persons now on the pension rolls Is 420. Longest British Line.
