TREES ON THE PRAIRIE KEEN APPRECIATION OF VALUE OF FORESTS. The Farmers Supplied Free of Cost-- Over Nine Million Have Been Dis- tributed -- Value of Tree-Planting Demonstrated -- Varieties Suitable to Soil and Climate--S8choo! Chil dren Become Interested. Canada has suchya keen apprecia- tion of the value of forests that the Government has organized a system by which settlers on the prairies of the great Northwest are supplied with trees for planting free of eost. This service, which is under the di- rection of the Deminton Superinten- dent of Forestry, began operations in 1900, whem 58,000 trees from Govern- ment experimental farms were sent out to eighlleen settlers. Sinee then a grand total of 9,350,000 trees have been distributed. In the spring of 1907 2,000,000 trees were sent to 1,420 applicapts. The average number of trees sent to each applicant is 1,400 When a farmer makes up his mind that he would like to eo-operate with the Government in starting a tree plantation, he must fill out a printed form, giving the land office deserip- tion of his property, with postoffice and express office, together with other information which the Department re- quires before it will consider the ap- plication, After these preliminaries have been satisfactorily completed, an inspector is sent to make an examina- tion of the soil to determine what varieties of trees will grow best. A diagram of the ground it is proposed to set out in trees is made, and the farmer is required to sign an agree- ment to the effect that if furnished with trees he will set aside a certain portion of ground as indicated in the diagram for planting; that he will not destroy the trees; that he will keep them fenced and protect them from fire; and that he will cultivate them for five years, and as much longer as may be necessary. After this agreement is ratified and filed at the Department a requisition is sent to the Government forest nurs. ery at Indian Head for the trees re- quired. In the course of time the farmer gets the trees, which he must set out and care for strictly aceord- ing to contract. If he doesn't, he hears from the forestry department prompt- ly; for an inspector is likely to drop in at the most unexpected times to see how the trees are getting on. If one is dead or missing the fact is re- ported to the Department, with an ex- planation. If the mishap is due to no fault of the farmer, and if he fulfils his agreement, he will be supplied with additional trees to the extent of his requirements; but if he doesn't do as he should he gets no more favors As a result of the care in selecting applicants to be supplied with trees end of the rigid supervision exercised, the Department is able to report 85 per cent. of all the trees sent out as being alive and flourishing. This subsidized forest of nearly 9,000,000 young trees that have sur- vived is scattered all the way from Red River to the Rocky Mountains. It is not the aim of the Department to supply all applicants with trees t> an unlimited extent, but to distri. bute groves about the country in a way that will afford each neighbor- hood an object lesson on thie value of toee-planting. It is expected that the sottlers will follow up the work thus begun, and that others will be induc- ed to do likewise The principal varieties supplied from the forest nursery station are Manitoba maple (or bux elder, as it is called in the west), green ash, cot- tonwood, Russian poplar, and Ameri- ean, or white, elm. All are hardy and of very rapid growth, They make an excellent windbreak, and also a shel- ter for more delicate and slower grow- ing trees. After a few years, il pro perly kept up, the tree plantations afford a permanent supply of fuel and other timber for farm use, The cottonwoods are all from seed- lings imported from the United States. The sandbars along the Missouri river are great natural nurseries for the trees. Each spring" rise covers the bars with a deep coating of alluvial detritus. The wwater subsides about the time the cottonwood seeds are ripe. The light, feathery seeds are blown out on this rich, moist soil, where they sprout in countless millions. By autumn the seedlings are from six to eight inches high. They are then pulled up by tree hunters, who sell them to Government agents. The seeds of the box elder and elm are planted at the nursery. The box elder is ready for planting in a year, the ash in two years, while the elm takes much longer. The elm requires good cultivation to make it flourish or the prairis. Conifers, being of much slower growth, have not been distributed yet, though there are 500,- 000 growing at the nursery. Tamarack grows well on the prairie, and makes excellent fenceposts. One result of this Government co operation in tree-planting has been to interest school children in forestry. A number of schools have started tree plantations that are cared for by the pupils. The Government always sup- plies schools with trees when an ap- plication is properly made out and signed by the school board. So popular has this branch of the Forestry Department's work become that the nursery of 160 acres which was started as soon as the limited facilities of the experimental farms were outgrown has been doubled in size. Experiments being made now with a great varietf of trees in order to ascertain if any new varieties may tably grown under prairie con- of soil and climate t takes care of existing tim- in Eastern Canadas.

Gordon, curator of the de- | | partment of American archaeology. of the University of Pennsylvania, who | recently returned from a trip into the | Alaskan wilderness. | , The tribe was discovered 800 miles from the mouth of the Koskokwim riv- Gordon has named them fer, and Dr Instead of wearing Kuskwagamutes. birds, making clothing from the breast feathers of looms. The explorer brought home a collection of ther ! clothing and utensils. When the collection arrives at Phil- | adelphia he and other ethnologists wAll try to determine whether tribe came from Asia or whether it migrat- ed from Lower California. Dr. Gordon believes the race has been gradually driven by Athabascan Indians and Fskimos to its present quarters, which is a natural fortress. They represent perhaps the most ancient dwellers of Alaska, who made* their way there from Asia. They are monogamists, and no such thing as vice is known among them. They are permitted by their priests to have more than one wife, but never do so. The men are tall and strc physically end the women gracef and good looking. Dr. Gordon says there are only 400 of them left. The members of the tribe show a higher mentality and development than any of the known inhabitants of the far north. They alone of all the tribes north of Mexico and southern California possess the art of pottery making and are believed to the last of the undiscovered races on this continent to be brought to light. Dr. Gordon heard of them when he was in Alaska in 1906 and determined to find them, although it necessitated his penetrating an unknown Alaskan wilderness. Dr. Gordon lived for several months with these strange people of the Kos- kokwim to study their language, reli- gion and habits. He found them re- markably free from crime and with no set laws, being governed by priests who are patriarchs. The exploring expedition was fitted out by Mrs. Charles C. Harrison of Philadelphia and set out last spring. As a companion for the journey he engaged a guide. They took steamer as far as Fairbanks, the largest min- ing camp in the Alaskan interior. At Fairbanks they built a cance and made their way in it to the mouth of the Kantishua river, a hitherto un- charted and unnamed river emptying into the Tanana fifty miles below Fairbanks. Although this river is as large as the Delaware at Philadelphia the geography of the northwest is on so tremendous a scale, says Dr. Gordon, that hitherto it has been ignored as an insignificant creek. Dr. Gordon resolved to go up it as far as possible and trust fortune as to his finding a portage from its head to the Koskok- wim. He camped one night near the mouth of this stream in an Indian village. One of the young men declared that he had crossed the divide between the two streams and volunteered to make a map of the portage for the doctor's gui®ance. Accordingly the youth drew on birch bark a map of a route up the Kantishua to its source, the hith- erto unknown lake, Mintuana, within fifty miles of Mount McKinley, the tallest peak in North Ameripa, and across by easy portage of miles to the Keskokwim, whose fourse he outiined for a considerable distance both ways. The eanoe was forced up the river, which ran so swiftly that it was ne- cessary constantly to resort to the tump line--a line attached to the fore- head of one of the travelers. who walks in the stream and pulls the canoe while the other steers. After 250 miles of this heart-breaking work Dr. Gordon came to Lake Mintuana, nes- tling at the foot of Mount McKinley, and found the "easy" ten mile port- age. It took him six days to traverse the ten miles. Once across. for two solid months the party paddled down the Koskokwim, making geographical and ethnographic researches as they went. On his return journey from the mouth of the Koskokwim river to Nome, a: distanee of over 100 miles, Dr. Gordon nearly died of starvation and thirst. He was compelled to haz- ard the stormy trip in a twenty-foot trading skiff. On the first day out a storm arose, and the skiff was driven across Behring sea to the Siberian coast. For twenty days the doctor and his companions were buffeted by the sea in the neighborhood of Beh- ring strait. On short rations from the first, after the first five days there was nothing to eat but hardtack bis- cuit. Near the end of the voyage water gave eat, and only the sighting of Siberia, where the water cask was filled from a stream, saved the party from the horrors of thirst. At the time of the landing in Siberia the pro- visions ran out altogether, and as the evast was Abuolutely barren of life the party comgelled to put to sea again and face™the return jour. ney to America absolutely without provisions. Fortunately a fresh east- erly breeze took them to Nome in three days, during which they had nothing to eat. Canal Traffic at Soo. The report of the lake commerce through the Sault Ste. Marie canals 'in 1907, United States and Canadian, just issued by the War Department, shows that the traffic through the Canadian canal was 27 per cent. of the total freight Rg 4" Jor Shot, of the passengers, the amou ing 15,585, 368 tons of freight and 29.883 passen- gers, : ' rompany eoncern. that Lots of men are so ovnteary would furs the people dress in the skins of | take whiskey if | TO PRESERVE THE FISHERIES. | Kelly Evans Talks About Fish and { Game Protection, Mr. Kelly Evans had something to { say before a Toronto andience a few days ago respecting the forest, fish land game protection movement un- | der the association of that name in Ontario. His figures concerning the spoliation of the great lake fisheries caused a sensation. The white fish were practically exterminated in On- tario in 1877. Five to $10,000 were caught at a haul, and in the fall in | the spawning season as many as 90,- 000 were taken at one haul. In Lake Erie 500,000 fish were taken in spawn. The result was the depletion of the fisheries. The commission of 1893 re- commended the adoption of a proper and reasonable season; the use of neta which would not catch immature fish and the prohibition of gill nets. None of their recommendations were fol-9 lowed. If the total number of fish gaught in 1889 was compared with that of 1906 it would be found there was a decrease of 11,000,000 pounds. This at present prices meant an annual loss of $778,000 to the province. Capitalized at 5 per cent it meant a loss of $15,000,000. The great American fish trust was another enemy of the fish of the pro- vince. One of their tugs with twe men and three helpers displaced 15 sailing vessels and 45 men who had supplied the trained pilots whose loss would some day be felt, The attraction of flsh and game to tourists and their value to a country was referred to. Maine, one-tenth the size of Ontario, was visited by 250,000 people a year, who gpent at least $20, 000,000. Maine had eight fish hatch- eries; Ontario none. Maine had 2,000 registered guides who got $300 a year, which was more than Ontario's net fishermen got for runming the fish- eries. With regard to big game and moose and deer he said the two-legged wolf of the northern districts did the most damage. He recommended that fish hatch- eries be established by the Govern- ment capable of supplying 300,000,000 | fry. Canada only supplied 100,000,000 now, and the United States did the { bulk of this work, though they took | 95 per cent. of the fish in return He would prohibit the export { feod fish, and =o break up the mach- | inations of the American trust. Hon. | Mr. Paterson had written Hon, Mr | Lemieux that this "would appear to | ba a matter wholly within the pur- of view of the provincial authorities." He approved of the Nepigon and Algonquin reservations and said that $15,000 a year might be made out of the beaver in the latter park. The lécture concluded with an elo- quent passage on the moral and sen- timental side of the question. Canada's Premier. Here is a personal study of the Dom- { inion's foremost statesman of the Lour, penned by an Englishman in The London Chronicle: Sir Wilfrid Laurier is a good man and a dexterous politician. He is not a great man. He cannot trust himself to make the righteous and passionate appeal to the nation which would rid it forever of its corrupt and abomin- able politicians. He dismisses Min- isters whose iniquity is brought home to them. His own virtue is known to the people, ' His incorruptibility is accepted by Englishmen and French- men, but he has nothing of that Glad- stonian passion for honor and purity which can sway multitudes and set a whole nation in the way of righteous- ness, His long, Jean, ash-colored Egyptian face reminds one when it is animated by his rhetoric of Henry Irving and when it is sphinx-like in repose of Benjamin Disraeli Like these two men, he is a picturesque orator, an adroit politician. He uses events; hé does not make them. He watches opportunity ; he does not fash- ion destiny. Fortunate is it for'Can- ada that among so many base and pliant politicians there should be this central pillar of honesty and self re spect, but happier would it be for her and for us if the chief pilot of her fortunes had the lofty soP of a Milton and the spacious mind of a Garibaldi A Story of Lord Minto. Of the Earl of Minto! Viceroy of India, whose daughter has just been married to a son of the Earl of Crom- er, many amusing stories are told, says London P. T. 0. One of the best has reference to an incident that oe- curred while he was Governor-General of Canada. Lord and Lady Minto had arranged to give an official reception, and on the afternoon appointed for the gathering preparations had been made to receive several hundred guests When the hour arrived at which the proceedings were timed to commence not a single person had put in an ap- pearance, nor were there any signs of the guests coming. Their Excellen- cies waited and wondered, exercising their patience as best they could, but still no one came. The host and hostess were astounded: the mystery wemed inexplicable. At length, how- ever, one of the aidesde-camp was sought out, and when he was informed of the situation he discovered that he had neglected to send out the cards of invitation! A Forestry Suggestion.
