AMERICAN FORESTRY 



lake with a roar that reverberated for several minutes 

 through the canyon. It disappeared completely from 

 sight and then arose with its snow-white top swaying 

 gently from side to side, spilling sparkling streams of 

 water from the ice cups of its surface. Such a sight 



A FORESTRY MAXIM 



La Asociacion de los Amigos de la Fiesta del Arbol, 

 of Barcelona, Spain, has just issued "La Cronica de la 

 Fiesta del Arbol en Espana," a beautifully gotten up 

 book of 184 pages, giving a description of the "Arbor 



Days" held in Spain during 

 1914 and 1915. Among the 

 "forestry maxims" quoted is 

 one which says, "He who plants 

 a tree does a good work, he 

 who plants many rebuilds and 

 enriches a portion of his na- 

 tive lands and achieves a con- 

 quest which causes not one 

 tear nor sheds one drop of 

 blood."

The appearance of a modern pleasure launch on the surface of a 10-mile lake in the heart of the 

 high Rockies invariably strikes one as a bit of anachronism. The pleasure, however, which it 

 affords, always tempers what little heat of antagonism may be left. 



invariably prompts a man to scream or swear or other- 

 wise give evidence of that unfamiliar emotion which is 

 always aroused by God's phenomena in him whose con- 

 ception of magnitude is born of his knowledge of sky- 

 scrapers. If you are a hard rider and can tear yourself 

 away from the beauties of this spot, it is possible to 

 run up to (jrouse Lake at the head of the other fork 

 of Wilbur Creek on the return trip, but unless the feel 

 of a mule between your hardened knees is old and famil- 

 iar, it is not advisable to attempt the round trip in one day. 



There are so many trips and so many spots of glorious 

 colors in this Park that it is not within the scope of a 

 magazine article to enter upon any detailed account of 

 them. There are the Glenns Lake, the Canyons of the 

 Belly River, Waterton Lake, which is split by the inter- 

 national boundary line. The broken and disrupted 

 country in the vicinity of Logan Glacier, the great Kintla, 

 Bowman and Quartz Lakes, and countless other fasci- 

 nating spots in the northern part of the Park where few 

 people ever travel. 



On the other hand, there are the Upper and Lower 

 Two Medicine Lakes, than which there is no more beau- 

 tiful sight held within the spell of mountain peaks which 

 are but a few hours' horseback ride from the hotel at 

 Glacier Park Station. In fact, there is within the 

 boundaries of this Park scenery of every kind which is 

 accessible to people of almost every kind of physical 

 condition, fishing and camera hunting to the heart's con- 

 tent, and it is to be devoutly hoped that our Federal Gov- 

 ernment may see fit at some time or another to appro- 

 priate sufficient money to make all of this Park accessible 

 by roads and trails to those who love their country and 

 contribute to its support. 



RESOLUTION ON FOREST 

 FIRES AND REFORESTA- 

 TION 



THE following resolution 

 introduced by Prof. P. 

 S. Lovejoy. of the Uni- 

 versity of Michigan, was 

 adopted by unanimous vote at 

 the spring meeting of the 

 of the Pulp and Paper 

 Mich., and the secretary 



Technical Association 



Industry, held at Kalamazoo 



was instructed to send copies of it to the various State 



forestry associations, the Governors of States and the 



press generally : 



Since wood is an essential raw material of the pulp 

 and paper industry, and 



Since the supply of timber suitable for pulp manufac- 

 ture is rapidly decreasing and its cost is rapidly increas- 

 ing, and 



Since there are great areas of non-agricultural lands in 

 the Lake States, which lands once produced splendid 

 timber, but are now practically barren as the result of 

 lumbering and repeated fires. 



We therefore urge that the pulp-producing States 

 take immediate action. 



(1) Looking toward the better protection of these non- 

 agricultural lands from fire. 



(2) Looking toward the restocking of such lands 

 where necessary by planting. 



TOYS FROM SULPHITE PULP 



AT THE recent toy manufacturers' convention held 

 /-\ in Toronto, Sir George E. Foster pointed out to 

 the members the possibility of making toys of all 

 kinds from sulphite pulp, which was much cheaper than 

 brass, copper and other metals, which have risen very 

 much in price owing to their demand for use in making 

 munitions. A toy-making industry has recently been es- 

 tablished in Berlin, Ontario, which is making lighting 

 fixtures from sulphite pulp. The material is blown under 

 molds under pressure and given any desired finish.
