THOUSANDS DISCIIARGF.D.
Union Pacific Railroad Is Cutting Down
Expenses.
A despatch front Omaha, Nebraska,
says : The Union Pacific Railroad on
Tuesday discharged between four thou. -
send and eight thousand workmen. The
discharged men are from the construc-
tion department, and every piece of
censtruclron work on the entire system
is abandoned. General Superintendent
t'at•k said : "We expect a curtailment of
business, and as fast us this occurs we
wilt lay off train crewvs. For the pre-
sent this will not be done; our orders
are to dispense with every avaityph!e
roan, and to. stop every piece of oc.nstruc-
lion work on the system. \Vo aro order-
ed to cut expenses in every possible
way." These orders came from New
York.
A despnt'h from New York saps: At
the offiee of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company in this city there was a prompt
denial of the accuracy of the telegram
from Omaha announcing that all con-
strt.ction on the ehtire system had been
abandoned. It was said that a discharge
of employees alw•uys took place on
November first. after the construction
work of the summer was ended, because
ce instruction work in winter was mush
mere expensive, end ihat this year the
number of men discharged was greater
only because the amount of construc-
tion work done during the summer had
been greater. No curluilment of busi-
ness is looked for, but rather an in-
crease.

FREE PLANTING IN TIIE WEST.
Estimating the Amount of Timber on
the Iteserves.
Forestry work on Dominion lands Is)
o! present being prosecuted along three;
lines, viz. (1) Il,, estimation of tiuiberi
on the Dominion forest reserves (Loth
us to the actual quantity at present ani
hand and as to the probable growthi
in future). (2) the protection of ext. -Linke
forests against fire, (3) the free distribu-
tion of seedling loess! trees to the !errn•l
e►••• of lie prairie regions for planting.'
Of these ttie last-mentioned has 1 cert►!
HIUCh more in the pubic eye than either
of the others, and the benefits it 1103
conferred on dwellers on prairie farms
arc freely acknowledged everywhere'
.11 M: nitoba and the new provinces. For
seve:ai yenis past an average of nearly
two trillion seedlings have been sent
out to farmers throughout Munituba,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
'I'!te work of estimating the atnounl
of timber at present on the reserves
was begun in the summer a; 1905. Dur -i
ing that summer such estimate-. Ore
"limber surveys," were inade on the;
Turtle Mountain and Moose Mlounlatn
reserves. In the summer of 1906 S'
party was at work en the Ridnig Mloun.i
thin Reserve, and it is hoped to come
piete the survey of this reserve during;
this summer. As the reserve cc:vers ere
nrea of over 1500 square mites, it is caa-
tey to he seen that the survey of it is
no small matter.
The importance of protecting the for-
ests from fire has for quite a number
of years past been rcognized by the
governments of the provinces of On.
laria and Quebec, who have employed
e considerable force of men and ex-.
