After a lively debate, the lesolution endorsing the circular and the recommendation of the executive committee that the New York Federation be asked to contribute were adopted by a vote of 57 to 34.

Conner-votloWashington, Tbe National the caused commission has s fen-Hi- s at attempt first comprehensive or tho standing timber in the Inited States ever undertaken, ino torest service has for eora! years census, and been sager to take such a ban expres-H-- d census tho of the bureau but to Its willingness The available. been never hinds have commission, however, conservation to help comInformation needs tho of the countrys plete Us inventory natural resources, which It will In Us report to the president, and since that report is to be submitted on tho first of next year, it needs consetlw Information at once. In census has on the work the quence now been started wltlf a rush and is under full headway. It may be a slight exaggeration to for of ppenk of a census of timber, course It Is Impossible to count the individual trees in the fortests; even the most ambitious plans of the for con-- f Hi service and the bureau of the j us did not contemplate that. But a trained man can with great accuracye "cruise" a tract of forest and the number of board feet It contains. Large portions of the forests of tho country, Including pratclcally nil the national forests,, have been (itlmated at various times, but these tofigures have never been brought has effort no and organized gether ever been made to gather them Into rne total, nor to supply the deficiencies where hitherto no estimate have ! been mado. As a result, the guesses as to the amount of standing timber In the United States, range all the way from I 822,682 million to 2,000 billion board feet, a difference of more than a trillion feet In the estimates of the best qualified authorities in the country. In the opinion of the forest service, the most carefully prepared estimates yet made are those by Henry Gannett, published by the twelfth census In 1900. These placed the total ptuinpnge at 1,390 billion board feet. Mr. Gannett. It so happens, has been ehospn by the president to compile til the information gathered for the commission, and with his previous acquaintance with the subject of forestry, he Is at work now enlarging the knowledge of forest areas at pre-reavailable. The Importance of this census lies largely In the fact that It will give an accurate basis for computing how our timber supnllos will last. of the forThrough the est service and the census bureau the of annual consumption country's wood Is known with tolerable accuracy, although even, here there are some discrepancies, because a large amount of wood Is used for posts, fuel, nnd domestic purposes, for which no satisfactory data have yet been rollected. But the consensus of opinion among those equipped to judge is that tbe present annual consumption Is about 100 billion board feet, or something more than that. One leading authority has placed It as high as 150 billion board feet. Assuming a stutnpage of 1.400 billion feet, an annual use of 100 billion feet, and neglecting growth In the calculation, the exhausting of our timber supply is Indicated In 14 years. Assuming the same use and stand, with an annual growth of 40 billion feet, we have a supply for 23 years. Assuming an annual use of 150 billion feet, the first supposition becomes 9 years, and the second 13 years. Assuming a stand of 2,000 billion feet, a use of 100 billion feet, and neglecting growth, we have 20 years supply. Assuming the same conditions, with an annual growth of 40 billion feet, we have 33 years supply. With an annual use of 150 billion feet, these estimates become, respectively, 13 and 13 years. It Is apparent from these computations why the national conservation commission considers the census of timber so essential to tbe prepare tlon. of Its Inventory. call-nint- nt Denounces Present Form of Government and All Political Parties.
