SAWMILLS DEBARRED. In the commercial forests sawmills are numerous, but with every added sawmill is added fire danger, and this menace is too great to be permitted freely in a Dominion Park, where the great natural beauties once destroyed may not be restored in a thousand years. In a commercial forest wher- ever there is any considerable area of mature timber, a sawmill should be there putting it into lunilier. Not so in a park, where it is desirable tliait large areas of mature woods should be retained. It does not follow, however, that no timber should be taken from the Do- minion parks, and as a matter of fact considerable quantities are removed yearly. Trees die from natural causes and fires occur which kill them. The dead timber is unsightly and is a menace to the parks. It should be placed upon the market at a price to encourage its removal. It is necessary in a Dominion park to remove also some green timber. Where the forest grows in crowded condition, the removal of some trees benefits those remaining as they then get more food and more light and im- prove in growth, in form and in foli- age.
