FORESTRY COMMISSIONER 27 



(From Mr. J. H. Beek, Secretary St. Paul Jobbers' and Manufac- 

 turers' Association.) 



ST. PAUL, MINN.. Jan. 22, 1908. 

 Gen. C. C. Andrews, 



Forestry Commissioner, 



State Capitol, City. 

 Dear Sir: 



I have very carefully thought over your plan of reforestation 

 as outlined in your letter of January i4th, and I am heartily in 

 favor of it. Unless the State of Minnesota enters upon some 

 comprehensive plan of reforestation and pursues it continuously 

 the time is not far distant when the people will realize how costly 

 has been the indifference and shortsightedness of our lawmakers. 



Yours truly, 

 J. H. BEEK. 



(From General C. McC. Reeve.) 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Jan. 22, 1908. 

 General C. C. Andrews, 



St. Paul, Minn. 

 My Dear General: 



I have examined carefully your plan of reforestation and I 

 certainly approve most heartily of it. To my mind no one ques- 

 tion is deserving of more prompt and intelligent action on the 

 part of the proper authorities than the question of providing an 

 adequate timber supply for future generations. 



Yours very truly, 

 C. McC. REEVE. 



(From Mr. Daniel R. Noyes.) 



ST. PAUL, MINN., Jan. 23, 1908. 

 Hon. C. C. Andrews, 



Forestry Commissioner, 



St. Paul, Minn. 

 Dear Sir: 



Your favor of Jan. 20 received. I am heartily in favor of 

 the plan proposed to "secure a sustained yield of timber" in this 

 State. The matter of "reforestation" is one of great importance 

 to Minnesota, and some practical plan of reforestation is of the 

 utmost importance to our State, and cannot be entered upon too 

 soon. Yours truly, 



DANIEL R. NOYES.
