woods and the sacrifice of another 30 

 or 35 per cent, of the board contents 

 in the process of turning the tree into 

 finish lumber. There are those who 

 say the day is not far distant when 

 the lumber industry will practise 

 conservation of waste materials after 

 the fashion set by Chicago packers, 

 but the dream is almost too good to 

 come true. Our lumbermen have a 

 long way to go, yet they may arrive. 

 It should encourage them to per- 

 severe if they will but recall that 

 large factories employing hundreds of 

 hands are now kept busy manufactur- 

 ing articles from wood waste that 

 formerly went into the mill burners, 

 and that inventive genius is likely 

 to speed the day when practically 

 everything that now goes to the burn-

 Western Lumberman. 



NEWFOUNDLAND PULPWOOD 



The Newfoundland Legislature, 

 now in session, is expected to enact 



a law permitting export to the United 

 States of a considerable quantity of 

 pulp wood. This was intended for 

 shipment to England and France, 

 but, because of the shortage of ships, 

 its transfer to those countries has be-, 

 come impossible. 



. The popularity of the National 

 Forests in the United States as sum-, 

 mer playgrounds is increasing by 

 leaps and bounds each year. These 

 vacation wonderlands were visited 

 by over 2,000,000 people in 1916. 

 Of this number Colorado received 

 605,000, or 30 per cent, of the total. 



From the Manager of an Oil Com-, 

 pany, Lethbridge, Alberta: "It is 

 with much pleasure that I become a 

 member. I am greatly interested in 

 the work, particularly in the preser- 

 vation of forested areas for pleasure 

 and game preserves. You may call 

 upon me for any co-operation you 

 desire."
