LUMBERMEN'S VIEWS ON 

 REFORESTATION

IT is all a mistaken idea that lum- 

 bermen are simply looking towards 

 deforesting the land, or that they sim- 

 ply buy land for the timber there is 

 on it. 



While I admit that there is one now 

 and then, who looks only to the present 



money getting, yet the majority of 

 them look ahead far enough to get a 

 continuous supply of timber; and I 

 am sure if the States and our National 

 Government would give some en- 

 couragement to these lumbermen in 

 the way of relief from taxation of de- 



White pine timber on the Chippewa Indian Reservation, in 

 Minnesota, four miles east cf the village of Cass Lake
