ProdncUoi Capacity Doable the An- ■ul Sale—laferaatloi Preper. ed by Forest Breech tor DobIiIois CobbIssIoi The area ot British Columbia Is 2,3,000,1101) acres. Practically the wholo ot the province Is woodeil. About 30,000,000 acres are covered with accessible merchantable forest ot valuable species. Tho forest in tho past suffered, severely from are. A young forest now covers about 90,000,000 acres of old burnB. This young forest is composed of valuable commercial species, and will reach commeiclal value lu '10 to 60 years. The estimated stand of mature timber In British Columbia now Is .ICO,. 000,000,000 feet board measure. The (renter part of the timber Is very accessible to transportation. A largo part of It Is easily accessible from the 7,000.mlle protected coast line where are many natural deep water harbors. The remainder can bo floated by lake or river to points on railways uow constructed. The most valuable limber for the cargo trade Is found adjacent to salt water within convenient reach of harbors. The lower grades of timber used chiefly In the prairies are found ln the valleys of the Interior rivers, and are floated to the various railways serving the prairies. Two-thirds of the annual cut comes from within Ave miles of salt water ou the shore of tho mainland and neighboring Islands within ISO miles of Vancouver. Tbe other third Ib chiefly from the valleys of the rivers ln the south-eastern corner ot the province. The present annual cut for all uses Is 1,750,000,000 teet valued at about $30,000,000. The annual growth cn the forest area ot the province Is estimated tc he between 6,000,000,000 and 7,000,- 000,000 feet. Tbe annual growth may be treated as a permanent crop. The non-agricultural lands of the province, whether now covered with merchantable forest or young growth, are being protected from Ure and will produce this amount of timber annually in perpetuity. The Important timber species arc: Douglas flr, red cedar, hemlock, Sitka spruce, white Englemann spruce, western hemlock, yellow pin,, white pine, yellow cedar lodgepolc pine, tamarack, balsam flr and yellow cedar. These species exist In sufficient quantities to supply any trade continuously. They may be furnished in any sizes the trade could reasonably demand. From amongst theui rany be secured timber for almost w.y use; very strong for any class of conslr'-c- Hon, heavy or light; durable, for use where decay ts rapid; with th: qualities of working, beauty of grain, adaptability to polish, which lit them for use ln the interior furnishing ot first-class residences, offices and banks. British Columbia Umber will furnish every need for bouses, railroad and public works, roofing, pulp, paper, furniture, cooperage, packing esses, mine timbers, boat building, rullroad sleepers and cars, woodblock paving, etc. Kxteit af the lidaatry There are now 800 logging camps. 400 saw mills and shingle mills, anil four pulp and paper mills lo British Columbia, ln which are Invested $1.- 000,000,000. Thc possible output Is 3.000,000,000,000 feet. The labor di- ■ rectly employed when running «t full capacity Is 140,000 alt men. The value of the product would then be 146,000,000. The products liiuuufuetured in tlie oredr of their importance are lumber, shingles, paper and pulp, rough articles such as poles, piles, posts, mining props, and smaller manufacture* such as sash, doors, boxes, shook. and cooperage. The mills and logging camps In British Columbia have not during the past three or four years been able lu run at full capacity. There has nut been sufficient demand for lumber. The effect of present conditions In the lumber market Is felt on Investments ln the province, traffic on rail- roads, the demand for labor, the market for food and household staples, machinery and produce. Agricultural settlement Is affected, as the lumber Industry clears the land, furnishes the farmer with employment (n odd seasons, builds roads, and affords a profitable market for farm produce The capacity of the mills and rumps is 3,000,000,000 feet per year. The sales from mills In 1913 were about 1,(00,000,000, one-half the possible. This Is tbe argument for wider markets. Present Markets The annual cut the past two or three years has been distributed as follows: British Columbia domestic demands over one-fltth ot cut Prairie provinces domestic demands over three-fifths of cut. Other buyers in this order: Less than one-fifth of cut: United States, Eastern Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Africa, China and Japan, South America, Europe. The leading features of the British Columbia situation are: 1. Tbe provincial forests wilt support tn perpetuity a cut 4-5 times as great as the present annual cut. 3. The merchantable woods exist In great quantities, and are suitable , for practically all Important uses. 3. Then la money invested, camps and mills erected ready to take advantage of market*. Brlely, tha causes ot lack ot trad* with the timber Importing sections of the empire arc: 1. Lack of Information ubout British Columbia timbers. 2. Freight rates und transportation difficulties. 3. British Columbia mills, while numerous and of large aggregate capacity, are not built and located so as to handle a large cargo trade. Tliey are built chiefly wltli an eye to the railroad trade. Prompt onniinl statistics showing the quantities ot different forest products produced, and their value, unnecessary. Such statistics will henceforth be gathered by the provincial forest branch, whioh, because of its close contact with the Industry, Is in a position to get complete uiul accurate Information, These statistics wlll he complied tor the calondar year. A survey ot the forest resources ot the province is tu progress. This wlll form the basis of statistical Information ou tin' amount of timber available. oriodlcul exhibitions, Including Umber, In the United Kingdom and Dominions would undoubtedly help the timber trade, Advantage could be taken uf Ktn-li exhibitions to show the vurlcty, qualities and uses of Hritish Columbia timber In such n manner as to appeal to engineers, builders and manufacturers, A permanent exhibition In London would serve the same purpose. CRANBROOK DISTRICT'S ANNUAL FALL FAIR TO BE HELD AT CRANBROOK, SEPT. 15 & J6 CANADIAN TRADE WITH THE ORIENT The department of trade and commerce has Issued a special number of the weekly report upon the probable future of Canadian trade In the Orient. The honorable Sir aeorge Foster has provided an Introduction expressed In his usual trenchant fashion, and pointing out that the subject Is one which should Interest avery Canadian. Sir George says, in part: "Upwards of 500,000,000 people inhabit China and Japan in a vant stretch of Island and continent facing our western front door, Between lies a facile ocean now beginning ta quicken beneath the swltt keels of rapidly Increasing mercantile fleets. On all grounds'of enlightened business policy Canada and Canadians cannot afford to neglect thc great and promising Held which lies so advantageously opposite our western gateways and which the Panama canal has prought so much nearer our eastern ports." The report is written by Mr. R. Qrigg, commissioner of commerce, and fully justifies the commendation afforded by the Introduction by Sir George Foster. A successful attempt hus been made to avoid the wearisome character of; the ordinary Blue Book and the points dealt with Include both much that ls new and much that Is true, comprising references to the northward move-', ment of Pacific const export, the condition of competing countries, the astonishing results of intensive farming >f a primitive character, and the work being done by tiie consuls of all nations, wilh n reference to Chinese Indents and the native press. The report upon Japan is entirely different, although equally interesting. Cnnadinns nre reminded that creat problems likely to profoundly affect them nro in course of solution outside the borders of Canada. Copies ot the report cnu be obtained from the department of trade and commerce without charge, and the valuable weekly rejuvrt of the department deserves the attention of every Canadian. It is circulated without charge and the experience of tlle United States nnd Germany Illustrate the enormous value of tlie work being done for Canadian export.

He threw on his business, small as it was, the light of publicity, and the public of Philadelphia entered the shop on which the light shone. In this community the public ts entering those shops on which the light of advertising is falling.

WITH T1IEF1 Various Depredations In the City Culminate lu Arrest of Three Cranbrook Boys Russell St. Eloi, Charles Barnhardt and Harold Bridges, three young boys of the city, were arrested during the past week charged with theft. There havo been a number of cases of residences and stores being broken into uiil various articles taken during tbe j lust two weeks. The city police have been endeavoring to trace the matter down witli the above result. Hussell St. Eloi and Charles Barnhardt were charged with breaking Into the warehouse of A. C. Bowness and stealing about half of tlie contents of a case of whiskey in small tln-ks. They were brought before Magistrate Arnold on Tuesday nnd Russell St. Biol pleaded guilty and was placed under suspended sentence, und placed in charge of his mother on the understanding that she would Immediately take him out of the city. Tlie ease of Charles flarn- hordt wus heard before Magistrate Vrnold tliis morning nnd lie was sent up for trial und tlle case, wlll likely be Heard In the county court next Saturday. Harold Bridges came before Magistrate Arnold on two separate charges tliis morning. One wns for breaking Into the store of the Cranbrook Trading Co. and stealing some harness, 'ind for breaking Into tbe Fort Steele Co-operative store at Fort Steele nnd stealing u varied assortment or goods. In connection with this titter case Walter AVnlsh, of Kort Steele, Is being sought by thc police as an accomplice. The Cranbrook Triidlng Co. was broken Into on July 22nd and tho crime committed ut Fort Steele lust Friday evening. The accused has been residing In a tent about two miles east of the city und a large part of the -goods taken wns recovered by the police from the tent. It is understood that he has admitted the commission of both crimes. He was remanded for trial hy Magistrate Arnold, He is under suspended sentence of five years for a similar crime committed a tew months ago. The punishment of these boys fall most heavily upnn their families who reside here and should teach other boys of the city with like propensities to turn from their paths and not to follow in the footsteps of these unfortunate youths. Boys, in order to become men, must guard against the weakness ot their nature and devote their time to work or study If they are to become useful citizens. It Is neither smart or profitable to be a thief and only by following the straight and narrow path of strict honesty can any boy hope to take his place in the world beside the men of affairs, who find their greatest happiness In always doing right.

Only the governments concerned know Just how for Great Britain Is bound up with her allies. Spain Is a party to the agree- 1 ment, hut how far, or upon what ' terms, are matters of speculation. | The Dual Alliance, drawn up In 11879, became a Triple Alliance In 188.1, when Italy wus admitted. By Its ; terms, each of tiie countries Is bound to come to the ossistanco of tho others, ; provided it Ih embroiled with another country and the struggle cannot be isolated.

Germany brandished her sword, '.old Russia to keep her hands off, and che accomplished fuct wus not disturbed. Servia knew then that she iad lost Bosnia and Herzegovina—un- 'esu the Austro-Hungariaii empire ihould break up, us many thought lt must break up, upon the death of brands Joseph. But to wait for such i possibility. wns to feed on mere ■runib.s of comfort. Servia was helpless und resolved to ibtuiu compensation for her loss ut the expense of Turkey at the first opportunity, flic opportunity came with 'he recent war between Turkey and the Ualgan allies. The victory of the Balkan powers was so complete and the territory taken so vast tliat "there was glory enough for all'—glory as well as spoils. Servia needed and wanted a port on the Adriatic. She had one, iu fuct, ■laving captured It. But Austria interposed her veto. She was firm and ibstinute. She would brook no tittle iiower of Slav origin and affiliations on the Adriatic. She would rather fight than give Servia an outlet that might be used against her not only by Servia but by the hitter's mighty friend and protector, Russia. Once more Servle yielded; she had to. Germany backed Austria, and Russia was not prepared to throw her hat Into the ring, especially since England and Frtgice and Italy were anxious to prevent the spread of the Balkan war and declined to support Servian claims. This second humiliation and rebuff served to Intensify Servian bitterness against Austria. The sentlmens Ih general and national. This deep aud strong hostility creates a soil favorable to plots and conspiracies. Whether Servian nilleials and military men encouraged tlie conspiracies or even took part lu tbem.
