Iv 1s ReporreD that a certain manufacturing estab- 
lishment has discharged a large number of employees 
after it had announced a five-dollar-a-day schedule. The 
result was inevitable. The law of efficiency and rewards 
are still operative. The penalty of high wages has al- 
ways been the unemployment of unskilled or only parti- 
ally trained men.

GOVERNMENT GETS NEW FOR- 
Hola Ne WHITE. MOUNTAINS. 
A little more than 33,000 acres in 
the White Mountains have just been 
approved for purchase by the goy- 
ernment at a meeting of the national 
forest reservation commission. 
These areas are in two separate 
tracts, both in Grafton county, New 
Hampshire, the larger containing 31,- 
100 acres on the watershed of the 
Pemigewasset river, a tributary to 
the Merrimac. The tract comes with- 
in a mile of North Woodstock on the 
Boston and. Maine railroad, and sev- 
eral good roads lead through it. ‘The 
land is between 700 and- 4,300 feet 
in elevation; and in the lower valleys 
are a number of abandoned farms 
now grown up to trees. Most of the 
conifers have been cut to make paper 
pulp, but there are good stands of 
beech, birch, and maple of consider- 
able value.. With fire kept out there 
is said to be excellent promise of a 
new stand of ,spruce. ~The price 
agreed upon by the government is 
$4.62 an acre including both land and 
timber. 
The smaller purchase consists of 
several areas lying on the watersheds 
of Little River and Gale River, both 
tributaries of the Connecticut. These 
lands cover 2,000 acres and are con- 
tiguous to lands already approved 
for purchase; hence they go far 
toward giving the government a 
solid body of land in this locality. 
The price for the 2,000 acres, land 
and timber, is $4.00 an, acré. The 
tract is in the locality of the noted

forest has been cut over and consists

At the same time that these White 
Mountain areas were approved, the 
commission also approved the pur- 
chase of the Pisgah Forest in North 
Carolina, from the George W. Van-

the total eastern forests up to 1,077,-
