POWDER STRAIN COMES 
A GUN WITH PERFECT BALANCE 
Best Selling Gun in 1907 
The American Sportsman’s favorite gun for field or trap shooting is the 
A. H. Fox Double Hammerless Gun. Superior merit alone accounts for its 
popularity. At every point of comparison, the 
A. H. FOX GUN 
shows superiority. Orders for the A. H. Fox Gun in 1907 far exceeded 
those of any other year in our history, more than twice as many being sold 
as in 1906. Don’t think of getting a gun until you see the genuine A. H. 
Fox Gun. Ask your dealer to show it and convince yourself by test and 
proof that it actually is

COMMISSIONER WHIPPLE’S REPORT. , 
Continued from page 99. 
The value of all kinds of lumber is daily in 
creasing, and soon it will be so great that th< 
lumbering of hardwoods in the Adirondacks wil 
be feasible—the price so much exceeding freigh 
rates and the cost of manufacture tljat th 
profits will warrant the cutting. If the peopl 
of the State allow that to occur, and the hard 
woods are taken off, the protection of th 
sources of the rivers which rise in that sectioi 
of the State will be destroyed and it will be tor 
late to repair the injury. The Land Purchas 
ing Board has materially added to the holding 
of the State during 1907, having purchased an 
made contract to purchase 46,156 acres, whic! 
will make the total amount of land held by th 
State 1,518,450 acres. Of this there are in th 
Adirondacks 1,454.383 acres—the remaining 
112,072 acres being in the Catskills. Our Stat 
tree nurseries and reforested lands under th 
supervision and management of this depart 
ment continue to attract widespread attentio: 
among persons interested in the work through 
out the United States. During the year 190; 
as heretofore, many persons interested in th 
work of tree growing and tree planting hav 
visited our nurseries and plantations and hav 
pronounced them the best in the United State; 
Without doubt it is advisable for the State t< 
enter into the planting of trees on a much large 
scale to the end that at least 5,000,000 trees 
year may be set out. The State of New Yor 
is the pioneer in this work, and the reports C 
various States indicate that the State of Nei 
York has planted more trees up to the_ preserh 
time than all the other States in the Union, an 
nearly, if not quite, as many as have bee 
planted by the States and the National Govern 
ment combined. The commencement of tre 
planting on a very large scale, and by all of th 
people of the State, should not be put off. 1 
takes a long time for a tree to grow, and ever 
year the work is delayed only hastens the tim 
when the price of lumber will be beyond th 
reach of a man with small means, and the pric
