FORESTRY PRESS BULLETIN.
An interview with an engineer given
recently in a western paper to the
effect that there is abundant timber
on the line of the Hudson Bay Railway
is an illnstration of the misapprehens-
ion in regard to this matter that exists
in the pubic mind. Because there are
large areas of land in the north on
which there is timber of some kind,
the conclusion is reached that it is all
or present value and that the country
has an unlimited supply. As a matter
of fact a careful inspection of the tim-
ber along the line of the Hudson Bay
Railway made in the years 1910 and
1911, by the Forestry Branch of the
Interior, shows that there is not enough
mature timber along the line of that
railway to build the road. There are
no prairie districts of any extent along
the route, there are trees everywhere,
but owing to repeated fires the forest
is, except on the merest fraction of the
area, too small for commercial purpos-
es and unless it can be protected from
fire until it reaches maturity, will nev-
er be of any use to the country. Ex-
plorations in other parts of the north-
ern forested districts tell the same tale.
Everywhere fires have worked havoc,
and the forest is a mere wreck of what
it might have been if fires could be
prevented. And unless adequate meas-
ures are taken now to protect the
young and immature forests which
form the major part of the stand, the
outlook for the future is none too good.
If the northern forests are to contin-
ue to be a permanent source of wealth
to the country, it is absolutely neces-
sary that the fire ranging system should
be extended and that proper methods
of management of the forest should be
applied, and public education to the
value of the forest is even more neces-
sary.
In Sweden, which has large extents
of northern forest, practically unin-
habited, similar to those in Northern
Canada, has about eliminated' the fire
danger in such districts mainly by ed-
ucating her people to the value of the
forests.
WHY IS IT?
[Toronto Weekly Sun.]
In an article from Hoard's Dairyman,
the question is raised as to how it is
that a poor German immigrant, ignor-
ant of botholanguage and customs, can
go out bare-handed and in twenty or
etwenty-five years stand free of debt as
the owner of a farm in the Western
States while American bred boys, after
taking a four years' course at an Agri-
cultural College, cannot, or at least
will not, do the same. These all seem
to want a place, at a fixed salary, which
does not involve the necessity of taking
off the coat or soiing the hands. Hoard's
wants to know if an agricultural col-
lege course, instead of developing a
spirit of manliness and self-reliance,
has the opposite effect?
A similar question has already been
asked by The Sun in regard to what
we see here. It is a comparatively
rare thing to find a young man who has
taken a four years' course at the 0. A.
C. going back to the farm. These Col-
lege men seem afraid to undertake the
responsibility and work attendant up-
on the handling of farms, now all fit
for cultivation, which their fathers or
grandfathers gladly accepted when
covered with forest.
How is it? Is the atmosphere, is the
leading, is the environment at the
College at fault?
WAS TROUBLED WITH HEART
DISEASE AND NERVOUSNESS
SEVERAL DOCTORS COULD D0 HER
NO GOOD. THREE BOXES OF
MILBURN'S HEART AND NERVE
PILLS COMPLETELY CURED HER.
Miss Mary Lebeau, Edison, Sask.,
writes: -"I was troubled with heart
disease and nervousness for over two
years, and was so bad at times I had to
sit up at night being unable to breathe,
and every little noise would make me
shake and shiver, I Wed several doc-
tors, but they were unable to do the any
rood. A neighbor then advised me to try
a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve
rills. As soon as I began to take them
I began to feel much better, and by the
t i ne I had used the third box I was com-
i:letely cured. I would advise anybody
s:iffering from heart disease and nervous-
eees to try these pills. They will save
titer! a bill in doctor's fees."

WHERE CARE IS NEEDED.
(The Monetary Times.)
We have been led to expect in the
address of Mr. J. W. Langmuir, man-
aging director of the Toronto General
Trusts Corporation, each year a
thoughtful contribution to a prominent
topic. Recently, Mr. Langmuir dis-
cussed the question of speculation in
unproductive real estate. This form
of speculation has assumed serious pro-
portions, particularly in connection
with some of the Western cities and
towns, and especially the new town -
sites along the great railway system
through the prairie provinces and Brit-
ish Columbia A number of presidents
and general managers of banks have
recently sounded notes of warning, the
Monetary Times agrees that these are
most opportune. In many of these
towns property is being subdivided and
sold as building lots that will certainly
not, if indeed ever, come into the mar-
ket for building purposes for a great
many years. While this is true of the
West, it is also true of the city of Tor-
onto suburban property. Farms from
one to five miles from the city limits
that were under cultivation a few years
ago, having a value of not more than
$3.10 per acre, have been recently sold
at fabulous prices, and are now offered
to the public in building lots on a foot
frontage basis. "It is quite true,"
says Mr. Langmuir, "that Toronto is
increasing its population in the neigh-
borhood of thirty thousand per annum.
making it necessary to provide several
thousand homes every year; at the
same time it must be remembered that
between these outlying subdivisions
and the city there is still an enormous
amount of vacant land to be build up-
on. While it is important that banks
should give warning against this form
of speculation, it is perhaps even more
incumbent upon trust companies to en-
deavor as far as possible to maintain
true land values, since so large a per-
centage of their investments are con-
fined to mortgages on real estate."
There is not need to deprecate the
legitimate increase in land values. As
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy recently
pointed out, one may easily make a
mistake in this matter, as the general
expansion of the Dominion naturally
aevances the price of real estate in a
legitimate manner. In the difference
between the proper value and the in-
correct and sometimes unscrupulous
discounting of the future, largely rests
the trouble.
The desire to get rich quickly was
also noted by Mr. Langmuir, who stat-
ed that this desire is finding expression
also in stock flotations in respect of a
number of industrial and other com-
panies that are greatly over -capitalized,
a very large percentage of the stock
being water, as the actual assets or
earning power ,of some of these com-
panies would not at all warrant any
such stock issues as are offered to the
public. The fact that such companies
can be floated at all is one of the phen-
omenal development in Canada during
the last dozen years or more, and while
it may be difficult for the Governments
to altogether control such flotations in
order that the public may be protected,
yet no doubt something more could be
done by a more careful investigation
into the facts before charters are is-
sued.
This should not discourage the Brit-
ish and foreign investor in Canada or
undermine his confidence, for, as Mr.
Langmuir truly reminds us, there has
existed, and will continue to exist in
this country for many years to come, a
great field for properly organized and
well-managed companies in the several
departments of industrial and financial
enterprise, as the future of Canada is
undoubtedly assured. This fact places,
if possible, a greater responsibility up-
on the banks and trust and loan com-
panies, who control so largely the fin-
ancial affairs of the country, to as far
as possible see that the foundations of
our new industrial enterprises are well
laid, to the end that our Canadian busi-
ness affairs shall be of a stable and
permanent character.
No Advance in Tea Prices
Expected This Year.
There has been a great deal of specu-
lation as to the outcome of the present
Chinese revolt and its bearing on the
tea situation in general. Mr. Melville,
of Thomas J. Lipton, when interviewed.
stated that the indications are now far
more favorable, some believing that
the Chinese trouble will be over about
February 18, the Chinese New Year.
Though tea will not be cheaper, he does
not believe there will arise any neeese-
ity for advancing prices to the con-
sumer this year. The crops from China
will probably be a little late coming
forward, but these teas are used very
little in Canada, except possibly for
cheapening blends. The rapid advance
last year in the cost of Ceylon and
India teas has spent itself and the mar-
kets are now practically stationary for
good teas though for very common teas
the market is somewhat easier. The
consumers have doubtless, ih some
cases, been supplied with the lower
duality at the old price, but they are
not long deceived, realizing that they-
do
heydo not go toe far ne tea of really good
quality.
CheapTea is Dear "Tea
QC) declared the mother of a small family
V not long ago-
-And proved the statement true by simply
relating her tea experience.
"I used a 30c. Tea for years," she said.
"One day the Grocer asked me to try a 40c.
package of Red Rose -he told me it was
better Tea. I found it better Tea, and -before
I had quite finished the first package I thought
it made more Tea. The second pound I used
with care-
-And found out
that less Tea in the
Pot made a richer,
finer -flavored Tea,
if you know what
I mean."
We know exactly what this lady meant-
-40c. Red Rose Tea is a richer, stronger Tea,
more delicately flavored.
The 30c. variety makes about 150 cups-
-Whereas the 40c. Red Rose Tea makes about
200 cups.
So ---You might as well have better tea for the
same cost in the long run.
There are several grades of Red Rose Tea selling at
different prices, but the 40c. grade seems to please
best. It is not only, fine Quality but goes farther.

LOCAL NRWS.
Rev. Mr. Sellery and Rev. Mr. Mc-
Quarrie will exchange pulpits next
Sunday evening.
Mr. -J. Swartz, of Bayfield, has taken
possession of the Exchange hotel. He
has made considerable repaie upon the
house during the past few weeks.
There were five Mondays in February
this year. It is two hundred and twen-
ty-four years since this happened be-
fore.
Mr. E. H. Dever, brother of Mrs.
Wm. Button, was in town this week
and has rented a shop and will open a
general undertaking business here
shortly.
First it's slippery, thenit's sloppery,
now you melt, and then you freeze;
now you cough, and then you sneeze;
watch the mer •ury hop and skip; it's
not strange we have the grippe.
There is a great scarcity of houses in
town • just now. Several gentlemen,
who would have been residents of the
town, were not able to secure tenant-
able houses during the week in which
to move, and hence the town is depriv-
ed of their presence, trade, &c. Would
it not pay some of our moneyed men to
erect a number of residences this com-
ing summer?
Mr. Samuel Youhill, real estate
agent, disposed of the late Robt. Orr's
residence, on the Diagonal road, on
Friday last, to Mr. Wm. McAllister, of
Grey township. The sale was made
and papers signed by Mr. Orr, on Fri-
day evening, the last act Mr. Orr did.
The price was $1,550, and Mr. McAllis-
ter secured a bargain.
We are called upon this week to
chronicle the death of one of the best
known and most highly esteemed busi-
ness men of Wingham, Mr. Robt. Orr,
which sad event took place on Saturday
morning last, in his 38th year. Mr.
Orr had been a resident of Wingham
for over twenty years, coming here
from Wawanosh township. His first
few years were spent in the employ of
different merchants in town. For a
considerable number of years he had
been engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness, for a time with Mr. R. Coad, now
of Hensel], then with the, late Wm.
Hiscock and T. E. Bowles, and at the
time of his death he was senior partner
in the firm of Orr & Hiscocks, Mr. H.
J. Hiscocks being a plzrtner with him.
He had been twice married and leaves
a wife and two children to mourn the
loss of a kind husband and indulgent
father.
Mr. Jas. Walker, carriage builder,
has removed to the stone store, opposite
the town hall, and is in a better posi-
tion than ever to attend to his numer-
ous customers. He is turning out a
large number of buggies, carriages,
&c., this year, and finds ready sale for
all he manufactures.

Don't Forget Old Folks.
In the rush and hurry of modern life
do we think as much as we might of
the happiness of those who are grow-
ing old. They have lost so muchl
Their youth, often their health, most
of the friends and companions who
started with them on life's journey are
gone and yet we often grudge them the
brightness and joy we might so easily
put into their lives. We will not stay
to hear the recollections of old and
happy days which they love to tell us.
We let them see so plainly that their
day is over and ours has Gomel That
those who have borne the burden and
heat of the day, toiled and struggled
and worn themselves out for others,
should be left to feel lonely and neg-
lected is sorrowful. We can and ought,
each and all, in our own place and way,
do something to bring the glow of
snmmer and the remembrance of the
days of roses and love into the lives,
now -fast nearing' their winter and their
end.
To check a Cold.
It ie easy to check a cold if you be-
gin in time. Frequent doses of Dr.
Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen-
tine keep the cough loose, allay the in-
flammation and so prevent it spreading
to the bronchial tubes and lungs. Mrs.
S. M. Moore, Shortreed, B. C., writes:
"I wish to state my gratitude for Dr.
Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpens
tine, for it cured a cold which a friend
said would soon put me in the grave."
To Fly Across Atlantic.
"Believing that I can best prove to
the people that the aeroplane has come
to stay by making a cross -Atlantic
flight, I shall attempt such a trip dur-
ing the early part of May,'' said Harry
N. Atwood, of Lynn, Mass. "I believe
I have the machine which will accomp-
lish this feat in 30 hours, with but one
stop, under favorable conditions, be-
tween the two points of land." At-
wood confessed that the machine would
probably be larger than any previously
flown in this country. He said he
would carry sufficient gasoline to make
a 900 -mile continuous flight, and when
he found this fuel getting low would
make a landing near some ocean liner.
He declares that there will be about 20
liners plying across the ocean at that
season of the year and it will be an
easy matter to pick up one of them.
Two men will accompany him on the
flight, one a mechanician from the
Clayton and Craig Aviation School, by
whom Atwood is employed, and the
other a man acquainted with the sea
who will be able to show him how best
to ride out a gale if one should be en-
countered. Plans for the improved
type of hydroaeroplane, which he will
use, have been completed and the work
of building is said to have been com-
menced. A lifeboat will be the only.
other baggage taken along, except for
a small supply of food.
There wore 186,917 neiero soldiers in
the northern artily during the war of
eeceeion.

stated in Matt. iv, 23, "And Jesus went
about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom and healing all manner
of sickness and all manner of disease
among the People." It was predicted
by the prophets that in the kingdom
the blind would see. the deaf hear, the
dumb slag, the lame leap as a hart,
and 00 one complain because of sick-
ness. for iniquity would be forgiven
(Isa. xxxiii, 24; xxxv, 5, 6). It was
also laredii'ted that in the kingdom
we're : and lambs. leopards and kids,
calves and lions, COWS and bears and
little children lyould all live in peace
together (Isa. xi, 6.9; Irv, 25). No one
seems to expect these last mehtioned
things until Jesus shall come again,
but many are woudering why they can-
not be healed of all diseases even
though the kingdom has not come.
They ask often complainingly, "is not
the body as well as the soul included
in the atonement?" Yes; the great
atonement will teach the body, too,
and in the resurrection these bodies of
our Humiliation will be fashioned like
His glorious body, but till then we
must wait patiently in strength or
weakness, as He may in His infinite
love and wisdom decide. Some are
healed by Isis band without a physi-
cian and some by H1s blessing upon
the physician's sl:1ll and medicine,
while some continue in weakness, and
many are passing out from the mortal
body. The truly devout soul says un-
der all circumstances, "Even so, Fa-
ther," and rejoices in the perfect will
of God.
Our lesson verses 29 to 31 tell of His
going from the synagogue to the home
of Simon and Andrew, where Simon's
wife's mother lay sick of a fever. He
took her by the hand, rebuked the fe-
ver, and immediately she was well
and ministered to them. Compare the
ministry of angels in verse 13. Think!
of Samuel as a little boy ministering
to the Lord (1 Sam. iii, 1) and let all
our service be "unto the Lord" and
"before the Lord." Possibly more
might be healed if He saw that they
would minister unto Him, for He is
seeking in every way to bring people
unto himself that He may fill them
with His fullness (Ex. xix, 4; I Pet.
1S).
Verses 32 to 34 tell of all manner of
diseased and demon possessed people
Elting brought to Him to be healed,
and it Is written here and lu the paral-
lel ucce'unts in Matthew and Luke that
He laid His hands on every one of
them and healed them (Luke iv, 40);
that He cast out the spirits with His
word and healed all that were sick.
-that it might be fulfilled which was
spoke by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
"Himself took our infirmities and baro
our sicknesses" (Matt. rill, 16, 17; Isa.
liii, 4). If they had only received Him
as their Messiah the Lord would have
made bare His holy arm in the eyes of
all the nations, and all the ends of
the earth should have seen the salva-
tion of our God (Isa. 111, 10), but be-
cause He Is still the despised and re-
jected one of Israel we continue in
faith and patience to wait for His re-
turn. He needs no testimony from His
adversaries, so He suffered not the de-
mons to speak even though they said,
"Thou art Christ, the Son of God."
Lesson verses 35 to 39 tell of His ear-
ly morning praying a great while be-
fore day, having gone off to a soli-
tary place. Since He felt the need of
being away from even these few dis-
ciples that He might the better com-
mune with His Father, how can we
know much of real communion with
God in the constantly busy life that
so many lend? It is true that we can
pray to God anywhere and at any time,
but see how Ile went away alone. Si-
mon and the others found Him and
told Him that people were looking for
Elim; then He said: "Let us go into the
next towns." "I must preach the king-
dom of God to other cities also." We
must not forget that "the field is the
world" and our orders are, "Go ye into
all the world." The fotir lepers of
Samaria should put us to shame with
their words: "We do not well. This day
is a day of good tidings, and we bold
our peace" (I1 Dings vii, Di. Our les-
son chapter closes with the record of
a healed leper who published and
blazed abroad the fact of his being
healed so widely that Jesus had to
stay away from the cities, and the peo-
