Take. Of the territory explored, sixty
per cent. will yield on an average five
cords of spruce wood to the acre, in
addition to other timber. The prevail -
fug timber is spruce and poplar, there
being po pine or hard wood. The
spruce, especially along the river
"banks, attains a size which renders et
valuable for square timber, and the
poplar is large and abundant', par-
ticularly on the Mattagami River.
'Special acres would cut fifteen cords
.of, spruce, other acres would cut fif-
teen cords of spruce and ten of poplar.
/Some of these, if all the timber grow-
ing on them were made into cord
wood, would show 60 to 70 coads to
the acre." In the Northern Quebec,
It is safe to say that conditions are
largely similar to those prevailing in
-the analagous parts of Outer°, with
the comparison in favor or Quebec,
as regard to area. Indeed, of all the
• provinces, Quebec must take rank as
the premier in regard not only to pulp
'wood productieea but also to pulp
'wood still standing unutilized. British
•Columbia, it is recognized, has mil-
lions of acres from 'which large qaum
titles of wood can be cut, but it is
-also recognized that the number of
cords is almost incalculable. The
newly organized Forestry Department
fin that province is busy making plans
ter comprehensive survey and chart
'work, and from the great energy with
'vehicle they are starting out on their
hiportant work, great things may be
'expected. The tremendous difficul-
ties in the way of having qualified
anen collecting reliable data in a
,country possessing such great natural
obstacles as "a sea of mountains" and
'traversed by raging torrents • are
;scarcely real;zed at their true value
by the ordinary public. And the same
'thing applies to survey 'work in the
%northern wilderness of Quebec and
• .enitario. Nova. Scotia is not generally
••credited with being elm of the great
'blether arid pulp wood provinces, yet
they form no mean asset. ' Dr. For-
• mew, who not long ago made a forest
survey or that region, gives as' his
estimate an area or 6,500,000' acres
:under timber, with 24,000,000 cords as
ithe probable output, divided up as fol-
flows. Mainland, 5,000,000 acres with
500,000 acres with 14,000,000 cord.
Nev Brunswick contains large areas
_reach in pulp 'wood trees, but so far
as we have seen, no one has been
, daring enough to estimate the prob-
able quantity of cords, section by sec-
tion. Roughly summarizing all the
, data furnished by the Dominion Fores-
try Department and the forest author -
'glee of the various provinces, and
lander a due consideration of the dilla
• •eulties in the way of an approximate
•• calculation of the stand of pulp evood
- timber throughout the Dominion, we
• -would say that its pulp wood resour-

BANDIT'S c !CEDE
French Prisoner Leaps to Death
. Before Big Crowd.
CHATS WITH, OFFICIALS
All Efforts of Lawyers; Magistrate
and Guards To Dissuade Him From
Suicide Prove Useless and La-
combe Dives From Roof and Is
Killed In Prison Courtyard—
His Last Wards of Mother.
PARIS, April 7.—Lacombe, the
anarchiet bandit, committed suicide
Saturday in the Prison de La Sante
under most dramatic circumstances,
with an appeal for his mother on his
lips.
Lacombe had been arrested in Paris
on May 11, after the police through-
out France had sought him for several
months. When taken into custody he
was carrying in hie pockets a small
dynamite bomb, two dynamite cart-
ridges. two automatic pistols and a
supply of ammunition.
Saturday morning while Lacombe
was talking with his lawyer in an en-
closed courtyard inside the prison,
his guards stood a few yards off. Sud-
denly Lacombe, who was an all round
athlete and a professional performer
of feats of strength sprang forward
and grasped the lower rungs of an
iron ladder indite -,' to the tipper part
of this building. He had clambered
past tier after tier or cells and had
mounted swiftly to the roof before
the guards recovered from their as-
tonisbment.
A dozen wardens passed thrmigh
the prison and on to the roof by trap
doors, gradually surrounding him 011
three sales. Ho threatened to throw
himself clown and the guards hesitat-
ed to approach.
A convereation then took place be-
tween Lacombe, the examining, magis-
trate, M. Drionx, the prosecuting at-
torney, Mr. Lescouive, and M. Bou -
°heron, his lawyer, who had been
telephoned foe. They all artued with
the man to prevent him committing
suicide, but 1011110111 avail.
Many fil•emen and policemen mean-
while had gathered on the roof of the
PrisomprePaaing to capture Lacombe,
who still stood on the edge of the
roof. Two hours had passed eince he
clambered un, and during his talk
with his lawyer other prisonere in
adjacent, cells overhearing scraps of
the conversation shouted to him and
cried "Hurrah for anarchy," .
M. Boucheron renewed his argu-
ments to Lacombe to be reasonable,
but the anarchist glancing at. a clock
in a church steeple near the prison
which pointed to 11.28, seid
"At half -pat eleven all Will be tin,
jelled,'" and at that moment rieing
lns hand to his forehead in salute,
shouted: "It is the moment, Tell my
mother that nv last thought was of
her. Farewell.'.
He then jumped like e diver to the
stonecourtyard far below, where ne
was dashed to, death. ,
Suffered With'
• A Lame :"zack
COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP.
Many people fail to understand the
signifi cance of a lame, weak, sore or aching
back.
When the back aches or becomes weak
it is a warning that the kidneys are
affected in some way.
Heed the „warning, cure the back and
dispose of any chances oi serious kidney
trouble following.
Mr. C. Grace, Hamilton, Ont., writes:
—"I was euffering with a lame back, and
for two weeks was not able to straighten
up to *alk, and hardly able to sit down
for the pains in my back, hips, and legs.
I had used different kinds of pills, plas-
ters, liniments and medicines, without
any relief. One day I read about Doan's
Kidney Pills and decided to try them.
Before I had half a box used I felt a great
deal better, and by the time I had used
two boxes, I was cured. I have no hesita-
tion in reeommending Doan's Kidney
Pills."

big ball moose the third day out on
a trip in the back country, about
three miles from Twatinaw, on the
Athabasca line, north of Edmonton.
One shot from her 38-55 rifle did the
trick. Miss Plethate was tramping
through 'the brush four miles from
camp when she heard the crackle of
;the underbrush as the moose came
-hounding through. The party had
spread out to cover a wider area and
there was 110 one within a considerable
distance of her. Miss Plymate raised
her ribe and took aim, hitting the ,
moose square in the neck. The animal
stumbled a few yards and fell.

NOVEL CHEESE KNIFE
Movable Blades Mounted on Rod That
Runs Through Middle
An ingenious rnethod of cutting
cheese has been designed by a New
York woman. A rod has three broad,
movable blades slidably mounted upon
It. The cheese --the cutter is designed
for use on round cheese, by the way—
is placed on a dish and the rod thrust
through the center. The three blades,
REEPS CREESE FRESH. TOO.
being light in weight, can rest on top
of the cheese. When a slice or wedge
of cheese is desired it can be cut
quickly and aceurately by pressing
down two of the blades with the
'requisite width between them. An-
other advantage of this device, and
the probable reason for the third
blade, is the fact that it keeps the
remainder of the cheese fresh by clos-
ing the eats against the air. The
blades are about the depth of the
usual round cheese and two of them
can be kept pressed against the outs
where the inside is exposed.

was mede reasonably plain that these

or crazy mee, and the equal number
of women who loved them or pro-
tected them or helped them, according
to the intelligence or the women, arm
inspired by a woman. Her name de-
scribes her. It is Rirette, which means
Little Laugh. She ie always laughing,
is Anne Maitrejean; laughing at the
judge, at the crowds in the court room,
at the prisoners, 111 101.0 and everything
else.
Breeding the Bandits
She and her husband, Kilbalchiche,
provided the centre round which the
terrible bandits performed ' their
death's dance. How they first met
the leaders of the bandits is not clear,
but it is plain that Gamier, Carrouay,
Dieudonne, Monier and Raymond used
to visit Rirette and her husband and
discuss anarchy with them. They
were,. in feet, taught anarchy by the
n gfirng ,wotnaa; and' after thei
Itkut mAptered,,the general principles,
• witIch were ,,iter,S, agreeable to Om.
Rirette PPin6n1 out that, theY might
Put them in practice very easily. She
taught them the' "individual taking
back" notion, as the Anarehists call ,
it, of robbery, as the law 'calla it, and
as they needed nioney, and. Were oil -
posed to working, hard for it, and had '
no such ideas of ,right and wrong, as• ,
most people entertain there was '
nothing to check them but the eh- '
Sence of a good plan, It was Raymond '
who looked at the problem front a
purely scientific point of View, and
concluded that Use should be made of
these inveraions of science, the auto.
mobile and the automatic pistol. Be-
fore the bandits became the autorno-
bile bandits, however, they committed
several burglaries to ' acquire the
the necessary technical experience.
According to the diary of Gamier,
these jobs netted them from $20 to
$80 each. Then at the right moment,
after the brilliant idea of Raymond's
had been discussed, Rirette introduced

to them Bonnot, the incomparable

Crimes of the Bandits
They marked down a likely car and
stole it. Then they hid it for a week,
and in the meantime picked out their
victim, who was a bank runner, with
$1,100 in cash and securities amount-
ing to 064,000 in, his satchel. Tney
shot him down in the etreet and es-
caped with the plunder. The aban-
doned auto was lemma next day at
Dieppe. There was 110 clue to the
robbers, who separated, emne going 10
130151e10 to negotiate the securities
and the rehlwrs returning to Paris.
Their next robberies were committed
; upon stores dealing in flyaerms, and
' they era:tired a valuable haul of pistols,
rifles and ammenition. Other crimes
followed with stirring rapidity. With
; Bonnot va the wheel of a powerful car
it was possthee to murder a mao in
the morning and in the afternoon 05-
'i sassiriato another mae 11 ouple of
!hundred miles away. The bandits
appeared to be without fear, 1100 the
knowledge that they would rather kill
than not heleed them out of many a
tight hole.
I Their reign cf terror lasted probably
fifteen months. Well equipped with
money, with disguises and !MSc (loon-
! ments end passports and accomplices,
i they eluded rursuit for so long, but
I at leneth the coils were tightened
j round them. An indlecreet letter led
to the capture of a couple, and 811.5-

When Paris saw the othere in . the

the twenties. They are of two kinds,
the "tough" and the "dude," and of
the two the dude was the deadlier.
Most remarkable of all. was Rh•ette,
who taught them crime and incited
them to murder. She was permitted
to go her laughing way.
Mexican Idea of News
Mexico, despite its revolutions, is
one of the most conservative coun-
tries in the world. Few Of tbe poorer
people can read or write, and the
"public newspaper reader" mattes a
comfortable living by going the round
eaf the drinking places of the city and
"reciting the news of the day. News,
however, is generally stale before it
-reaches print lit a Mexican paper.
, "Good news," said one Mexican edi-
tor to a traveler, "Is like good wine;
It improves with age. It is always
better to hold news over for a week.
If it is true, we get more facts; if
Lt proves false, why should eve print
Ended Appropriately
The Scottish National Song Society
Conference in Edinburgh was in a
slanging mood. The Free Church
hymn -book was designated the most
awful conglemeration of nonsense,
and the bagpipe stigmatised as the In-
etrument of barbarians. Appropriately
enough, the conference wound up with
'4 lament.

Women and Advertisements
SOME statements are so saturated with their
own moral as to require no comment. "Rid-
' ing on a car during the excitement over the
naval battles between Russia and Japan." said Mr.
Thomas Martindale, before the Retail Merchants'
Association of Pennsylvania, "I observed that the
men were reading the war news and the wcmen
were reading advertisements. Those women, I
watched keenly, read e..ery line of the advertise-
ments,, and then turned to the woman's page, "1 his
ride was a distance of eighty miles, yet at the
journey's end the women had nor yet had trine to
turn to the actual news of the day. The women
want advertisements to read, and you must present
your business in a readable shape to be in the fight
these days."
