I we next procedure. The permit system ‘has been successfully operated in Que- 'bee and British Columbia for several 'years. It has not antagonized the settler. while saving enormous areas lof timber. The widespread demand for a gen- eral reconstruction of Ontario's forest protection plan is finding sympathetic consideration by the Minister of Lands and Forests, who iuring the past year has been ereeedinglrbusy with other special duties. The present forest ‘guarding system of the province has been retained for a great many years practically without alteration. It is complained that the rangers, while numerically sufficient, are left to their own devices and, as with a body of artisans, in a factory, cannot and do not perform their fair duty in the absence of strict discipline and s guar- antee of permanent employment. For-1 est ranging, according to modern iii) tice, requires skilled men and skilled tending to burn slash in the ueighbon hood of forests, should be tried out in a few localities, so as to determine the best procedure. The permit svatem The Boards have specified two re- forms: the reorganization of the rangers so as to provide for super- vision and inspection, both in the head office and the field; secondly, that the government should make some effort to keep down the timber damage re- sulting from settlers' clearing fires. For the latter purpose, it has been suggested that a system of "permits" issued by fire rangers to settlers in- How Enormbouu Areas of Timber May Be Saved From Destruction. Twenty-trm, of the leading Boards of Trade of Ontario have made repre- sentations to the Ontario Government for a reorganization of its forest pro- tection system.

Irer de- termination to restore her property to the girl whom her father had robbed was due to a simple pride in doing the thing which she thought to be right. Presently she asked: to atone for his guilt, by giving back where I can. I used to take pride in the thought that one day I should help him to clear his name from every stain.

A third of a cent an acre for protection makes a very min- ute showing beside a mturnifieent pine forest reduced to charcoal for lack of! decent care.
