DO NT FORGET- *^^^^ ' 

 PUT CAMP FIRE DUT ^J,*^ 



The necessity for protecting the 

 timber areas of northern British 

 Columbia is full realized by the 

 Provincial Forest Service and one 

 district vies with another in initiating 

 new methods of directing the atten- 

 tion of the public to the forest fire 

 danger. The Hazelton Forest Dis- 

 trict has broken new ground in this 

 respect by erecting sign-posts, which, 

 in addition to indicating the direction 

 and distances, bear also such legends 

 as "Please be careful with fire," and 

 'Don't forget — Put Camp fire out,' etc.

NEW SPECIES BARK 



BEETLE DISCOVERED

What is apparently a new species 

 of destructive bark beetle has been 

 brought to light by Mr. Fritz Johan- 

 sen, now of the Natural History 

 Branch of the Geological Survey, 

 Ottawa, who has spent five years in 

 Entomological investigation in the 

 extreme north, part of the time in 

 Greenland. 



Mr. Johansen, in the fall of 1916, 

 found on the Coppermine River a 

 small area of damaged white spruce in 

 which bark beetles had been at work. 

 Three different species were found, 

 one of which is believed to be new to 

 the science of Entpmology. The 

 opinion of other entomologists is 

 being sought, but thus far Mr. 

 Johansen's claim is well supported.

By an arrangement in which the 

 Grand Trunk Railway System gave 

 generous co-operation, the Canadian 

 Forestry Journal will henceforth be 

 placed in special binders on fifteen 

 of the company's cars for general 

 reading. The magazines in the 

 Chair and Sleeping Cars are read by 

 many thousands of travellers an- 

 nually and the opportunity of bring- 

 ing to their attention the cause of 

 forest conservation is much valued. 

 Negotiations for similar favors from 

 the Canadian Pacific and Canadian 

 Northern railways are under way.
