Save-the-Forest: Week

" Save-the-Forest Week this year
will be observed throughout the,
Dominion from April 18 to 24,
In this regard the Hon. Charles
Stewart, minister: of the interior,
has written a special message to
the Canadian citizens living in
forest areas which is quoted, in

part, as follows:

May I appeal especially to those
dwelling in communities in or
adjacent to the forest; in other
words, to the people who know
and use the forest in their daily
life and work, Because of long
familiarity with an apparent
boundless extent of woodland,
such persons may be prone to
forget the enormous areas ef our
country where no forests occur
and the necessity there is for
care and wise use, not only that
the needs of our own country
may be met, but that we may
benefit from the impending world

shortage in timber supplies. For|

every resident-who is a neighbor
to the forest, for the fisherman
‘who whips a forest stream, for
the hunter who roams cur wood-
land, for the woods worker, and
above all for the settler- who
must use fire as a means t6 clear
his homestead I have this mes-
sage:—‘‘Kemember, what may

appear useless today may be valu-

able tomorrow. The forest vies

|| with the wheat field as an emblem

of Canada's prosperity. Be not
among those who ‘cannot see the
forest for the trees.’ ’’....  *
Ninety per cent of the forest
fires io Canada, are’ caused by
human agency. When - these
fires are regarded in the. minds

of the people as criminally wrong [

and entirely preventable; then,
and only ‘then, will'they be elim-
inated from the forest.
the whole population is determin-
ed to abolish robbery by fire as 1t
is to abolish robbery by violence,

ithen forest fires will be as few

and far between as are these
other outrages. Here, then, in
the development of'a public con-
sciousness that will demand strict
accountability for ‘carelessness

Ifwith fire in. the forest, lies- the

opportunity and duty of. every
citizen—and to that duty and|-
opportunity, Save--the - Forest

of the visitors.
important of these is the. matter},
of shipping autos from this or
anv other point along the-line, to
Prince Rupert, and thence south
to Vancouver. - On the lines run-
ning into southern citizens the
tourist gets an excess baggage
rate and a similar rate is most
desirable on the northern railway
for the benefit of those southern
tourists who wish to make the
triangular trip and who wouid

point in the interior to Rupert
and-then by boat south. We are
given. to understand that a rate
of between $40 and $50 would be
acceptable and an. inducement to
tourists. At the same'time the

railway company would make a

good profit and inereage the pas-
senger traffic. This is a matter

organizations to take joint action
on at an early date,
