Those districts best adapted for the production of timber should be set apart for that purpose and guarded from destruction by fire or other destructive agencies, and the regula- tion for cutting should be on proper methods so that the territory may continue indefinitely to produce its crops. LICENSES. A license to cut timber can be acquired only at public competition. A rental of $5 per square mile is charged for all timber berths excepting those situated west of Eagle pass in the province of British Columbia, for which the rental is at the rate of 5 cents per acre per annum. â **-^S» «â In addition to the rental, dues at the following rates are charged :â Sawn lumber, 50 cents per thousand feet Railway ties, six and eight feet long, 1 x/2 and 1cents each.

THE importance of the lumbering in- dustry of this province and the leading position occupied by the forest as a factor of our prosperity may be esti- mated from the annual returns of Canadian exports. During the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1899, the total value of exports from the Dominion, produced in Canada, was$i 32,801,262.

The reason for this is that nearly a
