CLINTO.N GROW„NATIVE TREES Sonic years ago, a Canadian forest engineer who was doing some wore '•in the. centre of one off, the seconu tier of counties northward from lake' Ontario, met a: man who was fencing - in a hundred acre lot. The land wits whatia`conznqn13 known a s a pine barren;; an area once covered by a' pine<forest, but, since that was clean cut oif_arid 'burned' over, `praotiaahv a'useless waste. Any farms taken. up. in the area had been abandoned, and tl}e,rc'peated fires and the run- ning 'of, cattle had up to that time frustrated the attempts of pine to come in again, although' around old trees that had been left clumps of young trees were b"ravely making a Learning,ithat he was 'talking -to:..a. forest engineer, the roan doing' the fencing nroeecded to explain that:Ae was a Canadian, who had resided u ;long time . in the United ,States; - ane( that he had now cone back to' Can- ada to try •his fortune in growing soft-shelled walnuts on , this ' cheap land: Tho Forest engineer said that growing trees was a ;good invest- nient,, if a long-time one,' but.:he asked.,;.'.'`Why, ''plant soft-she11edd ivat.

"Because Mr. Blank" (nam- ing a celebrated botanist) "personal- ly assured she that they were the. most profitable kind ° of trees. One has, yearly !harvests of nuts to bring, in'money while his trees' are grow- ing, to timber size."... "All that is true." said the forest engineer, "but Mr. ,Blank lives in California. 1 do not think he was ever in Ontario, . and it is practically certain he was never in this county. Walnuts will grow here, but; they are native onlyalong the north shore of lake . Erie. o. That they would really thrive here is doubtful,, and that Is mora particularly true' of a` special and probably tender "'variety. . Thts land a grew once re seine '% of the fines white pine•Canada ever produced. In spite of fires and cattle, white pine 'is struggling, as you see, to'cover the ground again; why not grow white pine, when; nature is ready to meet you halfway? 'Walnuts area gamble, pine is . a certainty," However;'the,walnut man with lite California guarantee',was not to be. dissuaded. I -Le spent considerable money in .planting :soft-shelled' wal- nuts, and is now .back in the United 'States .,at his old job, convinced that forestry is •a fraud.' `In the mean• tine, the'. white pine has continued to cone back and -in a few years there will be a county forest of fine young pine in the township' in which his soft-shelled, walnuts were a failure. It is; a good plan to experiment with exotic roes.: but'as a 'business pro- 1iosition it is better to start growing the best of our Canadian native' spec- ies,than which for the production of. structural Ytimber there are no fin- er in the world. TILE CANON WAS WARNED Rev: Canon Cody, of Toronto, is home from New York with- a rich story.. While in the city the Toren tb clergyman had occasion to jump hurriedly into a taxi -cab and tell the driver to hurry. Ata certain cor- ner a big Irish cap sternly help up the taxi with "Hi, 'there, you're pin- ched for speeding. Dr,- Cody's smiling face and clerical collarem erged from the door with a humble apology.

R, yards on Friday might, Jan 2Gth'returned '"the following 'ver- dict at their adjourned ratting which took place on ;Vionday night: 'That Wesley Biggins came to his. death on Friday' evening, Jan. 26th, 1923, at 11 p nz,, in the Palmerston G. T. R. yards',,J?3bcing"strtick by +E yard engine which he accidentally stepped in front of. We do not, think that the snow' had anything to do in this case, but we srongly` recommend that the G. '1,:R. keep the yards more clear of snow for the safety- of 'employees.'; New ofthe untimely death' - of Wesley' Biggins came as 'a shock to all who heard of the accident late' Friday • night last, and it was not until Saturday 'morning that details were fully known to the,public. ,Brakeman Biggins,' who was' a classed conductor, had gone to. Ches ley with the auxiliary, as bralleman and upon - their return had ridden. through the yards on the engine. The auxiliary' was in charge of Con- ductor Hopkins and Engineer Thos. Renwick, As the .auxiliary,; drew to a stand in the south end of the yards, W'es. Biggins alighted from the en- gine with the intention of cutting off some of his, train. At the same in- sant the yard engine, in charge of Engineer Adams passed down the adjoining track and Mr. Biggins slid not notice its appraach. 1, W. Nei who was firing, on the yard engine saw Wesley Biggins step 'from the auxiliary and called. to Engineer Adams who immediately applied the brakes.: ile asked air. 'Adams if he saw anyone pass on the other side, remarking that if he (Mr. Adams) didn't, lu:0was •afraid they had hitom@body..,Y and Foreman Brown 13,pr- onch'al' at the ''arae- time and the three hien made 'a search locating the body near the front of the engine. Dr, Coleman was called and life was pronounced. extinct, death being instantaneous. Wes,- Biggins was one :of -the most respected railwaymen running out of Palmerston. Being of a gen- dal nature' he was well -liked by ev- erybody and made, rapid progress since he began -railroading ,6 years ago bast June: Ten yearsago he was • married -,do Mbss Catherine Macken- zie, Kincardine. Phe body was taken , to 1{incardine for interment and was followed by a large number of friends. The Spectator ,joins with a large circle of friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved widow." THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AND UNION To the < Editor:: Sir: That the' facts regarding the policy of the Presbyterian Chtirch of •Canada may be accurately known by the Public, this Committee :r•espoetfully asks that you jjublish this letter as its official statement on the subject. It has been suggested that there is some 'difference of opinion as to the Church.'s position'on the Union question. 'Let the General Assem- bly speak' for -..itself. In 1916 the' Assembly by a vote /of about foair to •one expressed its'mind as fol- lows S. "That : in - accordance with the . recommendations of this General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canadaa do now resolve to unite with :the Methodist Church- of Can- ada eind-the Congregational ,Church- es of ,'Canada to constitute the, United Church of Canada." 2. "That a Cornnrittee be appoint- ed to carryout the policy of the Assembly." In 1921 at Toronto, the General Assembly again expressed its mind; -by a vote of about four to one in the following terms: 1, "Be • it resolved that this Gen- eral Assembly take such steps as may be deemed best to consumate Organic Union with .the Methodist• and Congregational Clturches of Canada as 'expeditiously as possible " 2. "That a representative. Com- mittee be appointed with instructions to confer with negotiating. Churches and to carry out the policy `of the A.ssenm1y and to report to the next, Assembly," We submit from the above facts,. that td any fair-minded person the; policy of the ' Presbyterian Clritrch; as expressed by its Supreme Court,,, is perfectly clear and unambiguous. It has been contended that the, presence of anti -unionists on the Assembly's' Union Committee < indi- cates that it was not intended - to definitely promote the Union. In .answer to this contention permit us to state that these anti• -unionists were appointed as a result of a spec, ifie request -from' leaders of the anti- union section of the Assembly. This was agreed to by the Unionists in a' Spirit Qf conciliation,' Signed on behalf of , The Presby- terian Church -Union Movement Com- mittee by J. H.

"The;iriterests'at stake are so vast and pressing that tare'; Christian Church cannot,'aiford to pause for a single day.. nf%rely,fgr' the sake of Pausing 'or because pf any hepo-that we. ,mayhaveof winning those op- posed to p-posed"to Union to share our,convic- tions,' said Dr. Gordon. ' "We ,shall have to expect that a number', of brethren will be unable to see' their way clear to xnoye.inta^ the Union just now, but Id amount of delay will• change their convic- tions or'attitude." he continued.: "I feel that •the • delaying Of this great movement for Christian 'unity in Canada is trifling with interests 'so serious and inviting disaster so great that I could not accept 'responeibil.' ity for advising delay." "Speaking of the situation in the Wiest, with which he is so familiar," Dr.' Gordon said; "there 'is no doubt in my mind that as far as. Western Canada., is \poncerned, Church' Union is practically aecomplished, and noth- ing that T-, can- imagine will prevent its formal and complete ' consume - tion. ' Very few indeed will he the Presbyterian congregations in the West that will remain outside the Union Church."' Dr. Cordon believed that the align- ment and mobilization of the Chzist- ban forces of Canada by. Church Un- ion will do more than anything else' to advance the ekuse ofru re- t e. l;gion among the people,"The preser- vation of this Church or thiit Ch'ur'ch; this name or that name; is soutterly insignificant that ` it' sinks out of sight," Said Ds. Gordon. ROD AND GUN IN CANADA A perusal of the February issue. of Rod and Gun in Canada, the well-known Canadian outdoozs'niag- azine, reveals a liberal supply of en- tertaining and instructive reading.
