 overseers power to take such timber as 

 maybe necessary to repair roads, culverts,

" All the articles on forestry that have 

 appeared in the trade papers would have 

 no effect upon that honorable body ; but 

 when the secular press the newspapers 

 that concern themselves with controlling 

 nominating conventions begin to urge 

 the importance of maintaining the timber 

 supply, the lawmakers will wake up to the 

 importance of the subject ; and that is 

 just what the newspapers are beginning to 

 do." 



" With population and production of all 

 kinds fast increasing and the country gradu- 

 ally filling up, the demand for timber and 

 wood of all kinds will naturally increase. 

 That means heavier drafts upon the for- 

 ests, and the best possible care of our re- 

 maining sources of supply can hardly make 

 lumber cheap and plentiful, in the old 

 sense. Under such conditions it is the 

 imperative duty of all governmental and 

 educational authorities to do what they can 

 to guard against the threatened lack of 

 timber in the United States. There is no 

 plainer responsibility." Cleveland (Ohio)
