Destroying the Cedar: Trees
A great deal has“ been ‘written
and talked about the destruction
of our forests by fire, especially |"

about those due to carelessness,-
All, or nearly all, of that is quite

|| true, and none know better. than
the people of. this interior. couns.
'|try what a‘heavy loss and what aj.

serious matter’ the passing of the| *
forest is.
forest enemy at work which few
have heard of yet, but which is
betoming very serious. -We refer
to the depredations of the Indians
among the cedar trees. They
use the bark for some reason un-
known to us, and to secure this
bark they take.a single strip .off
each tree, with the result that
the tree becomes no longer of
any valué.as a pole or piling.
It dies and becomes a menace to
the rest of the forest. — ‘Mike
George, one ‘of the largest: cedar

section, informs us that the In-
dians have destroyed in the vici-

alone over $50,000 worth of cedar|
poles, They neither cut the tree
down nor take more than one
strip..of bark from: each tree,
Neither do they.take bark off the
cedar. trees .on the Indian re-
serves, and goodness. knows. the
reserves caver a large portion of
this country. If. the natives
would confine themselves to strip-
ping a wholetree they would soon
get enough bark.and do very little
damare, but that does not seem
to be their system.

The territory of which Mike
George speaks is not the only one

another small stand of cedar,
which, when men started in .to
make poles, .was found to be
about half destroyed’ by natives
gathering the bark.: .
The amount of damage done

|year after year is serious enough

to warrant an. investigation..by

stop this waste, and, one ‘might,
say, this theft. of timber which
the operators. purchase. from the
government but cannot, use., ;
