B.C. Timber Resources.
Krom the Vancouver Lumberman and Contractor the following interesting resume is taken of a bulletin of the timber resources of the province issued by the Provincial Bureau of Information: ;
The introductory table shows that there are in the province 182,750,00u acres of timber land, the total for the entire of Canada being 1,657,600,000 acres, this immense area being almost equal to the combined timber acreage of tie other timber countries of the wurld.
Next to her great treasury of minerals, the bulletin points out, the most readily available, if not the must im- portant of British Columbia’s natural resources is her immense timber reserve. British Columbia may now be raid to possess the greatest compact area of merchantable timber on the North American continent, and though great forest fires have raged in the interior in the yeara gone by the coast districts possess the uwajor portion of the ch»ice timber, and there, by reason of the dense growth and the humidity of the climate, the ravages of fire have not had any appreciable effect on the supply.
As far north as Alaska the coast is heavily timbered, the forest line following the indents and river valleys and fringing the mountain sides. Logging operations so far have extended to Knight’s Inlet, a point on the coast of the mainland opposite the north end of Vancouver Island. Mere the Douglas fir, the most important and widely dis- persed of the valuable trees, disappears altogether, and the cypress, or yellow cedar, takes its place. North of this cedar, hemlock and spruce are the principal timber trees. It will be of interest to know that Douglas fir was named ufter David Douglas, a noted botanist, who explored New Caledonia in the early twenties of last century. It is a very widely distributed tree, being found from the coast to the summit of the Rocky Mountains, and as far east as (‘algary and as far north as Fort McLeod. On the coast it attains iramense proportions, is very high and clear of imperfections, sometimes towering 800 feet in the air and having a base circumference of from 30 to 50 feet. The best averages, however, are 150 feet clear of limbs and five to six feet in diameter. This is the staple timber of com- merce, often classed by the trade as Oregon pine. It is scientifically describedjjas standing midway between the spruce and the balsam, and in the opinion of Professor Macoun, the Dominion naturalist, is a valuable pulp- making tree.
The Giant Arbor Vitae (cedar) is next to the Douglas fir in importance in British Columbia, where it attains its greatest size on Vancouver Island, along the coast and in the lower parts of the rivers of the coast range. It is rarely found in the dry interior of British Columbia, but is abuna- unt in the river valleys on the slopes of the Selkirks and Coast ranges. Though seldom found more than 150 feet in height, in circumference it rivals the Douglas fir, trees of from eight to ten feet in diameter not being rare, and they are occasionally found much larger. It is chiefly used in the manufacture of shingle, for which purpose it ia un- equalled by any other wood. -
There are over 100 saw mills in the province, big and small, with a combined daily capacity of over 2,000,000 feet, but this limit has never been reached, the annual cut running between 300,000,000 and 350,000,000 feet. ‘The acreage of timber under lease ia about 2,000 square miles, and the total area of forest and woudland is estimated by the Dominion statistician at 185,554 square miles, or 132,- 754,560 acres, but this must not be taken as all of the present commercial value, as much of it is covered with small trees, only fit for fuel and local lumber, which would not be considered as “timber” by loggers, whose present methods of selection are very destructive, as they choose only the largest and best of the trees. In a few years from now wheve timber by reason vf its scarcity elsewhere be-| evmes more valuable, much that is now discarded by the| timbermen will be gladly utilized, and in all probability, old limits will be eut over several times

United States Senator David Davie, of Iilinvie, once upon atime got off this and it probably will never quit going the rounds of the prese: ‘‘Every veur every local newepaper gives froin 500 to 5,000 free lines for the Lenefit of the commun- ity in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The edito: in proportion to his means does more jor h.e town than any other man. He ought to be supported not because you happen to like him or admire hie wiit ing, but becanse a local paper is the best juvestment a community can make. It may not be crowded with great thought, but financially, it ie of more benefit than both preacher aud teacher, Today editors do more for less pay than any man on earth, Patronize your home paper, not as a charity, but as an inveet- ment.”’
