SUIVIMARY:

OTTAWA. October 13 —Consld- ing the fact that the live stock markets were nearly all closed on Monday. Thanksgiving Day, re- ceipts for the shorter trading ses- sion were fairly generous. Com- bined offerings at ytards and plants for the Dominion were heavier for all classes of stock than during the previous week, with sheep and lambs showing the largest increase. Cattle market: were inclined to be on the slow side and a certain ttmouitt of par- ing was dotie on prices, especially on steers and heifers carrying weight, Calves were sharply lower at; most of the major market cen- tres, while hogs were down at all yards, the decline aniountln-g to 15c to 25c or more. The tnarket on. lambs reattmctcd a tlarge num- ber. Improved action and better prices on American markets at- tracted a large number of Can- adian cattle across the line than has been the case in a nitmber of weeks.

Cattle Prices

weighty steers were down 25c to 50c at Toronto. One top load made $6.65, the high for the week and and another load. $6.50. while most. of the good steers went. between $5.50 and $6. and butcher up to $5.50, Stockers prices were steady at. $4.50 to $5 and $5 25. With a liberal offering at Montreal, steers were 25c lower and other classes about steady. Steers ratigtxi from $4 to a high of $6.25. The draggy spot in the trade at Wirtnipeg was on lteifers which were possibly 25c lower, while other classes. were ab- sorbed at; unchanged rates. The general quality of the run was 0n the plain side with a distinct; scarcity of anything approaching good finish. A fciv good steers were taken up to $5.50 but the larger percentage were only eligible to make $4.50 and below. The bet- ter kinds of replacement cattle maintained a steady tone but plainer grades were diuaggy and easier in price. The Calgary mar- ket closed lower on common and medium heifers but cows. steers. and stockers remained steady. The tip of the steer market was $5.50. Under a good demand Edmonton held fairly. steady, except on female stock The high on steers was $5. Prince Albert closed 25c lovvcr on females but held steady on steers up to $4.50. Moose Jaw was dull with a top of $5. 112m receipts enabling the market _t.0 maintain a steady level. Regina also held in line wit-h last week and hztd good steers up to $4.50. while the top at Sakatoon was‘ $4.75 on an improved quality 0f- fering. Vancouver was fairly active on a short trading session and had some choice steers up to $5.50 with good between $4.60 and $5., I

North of Seattle, Washiflflmh. the highway runs through flut- lmds dotted with Bquatty b11088- lowa. Over many miles "19 suburban landscape there is 110 of especial inter- here ms ahead the matter bole o a forest giant. As the triangle of roads en- closing it. is approached, the size oi’ this fragment of a. tree b9- coma more and more imprmsive- It. is only a battered stub but it dwarfs into insignificance, bot-h in sire and inspiration, everything in its domain, -

Bat for this relic, one would hardly imagine that the pmfient- uninspiring flats wcmeveroccupied by a fox-mt oi’ giant trees.

Yet. the State is now permittinB the destruction of its few Nmflin- ing tracts of virgin forest. De- spoiiation is fast making certain that children of this time, and those of generations yet; unborn shall never know what a real for- est of the northwest/em evergreens can be like. This superb, this ir- replaceable, i irationai asset is being wiped of the earth forever, so that a. few people may convert it into dollars.

Greed, greed alone. is the only motive that. could thus brazenly rob the people. the State, and the world of so lovely a heritage. Ut- ter blindness to highest. values is all that can explain acquiescence in the sacrifice by those in posi- tion to prevent it.

Ayt cut. than down, Spare not c. single tree; Rob your children and their

children, Let no whit of beauty be.

Lay the noble for-st 10w, Make it fit for none tn sec; Banish from the world forever Grandeur of the mighty tree.

Crash these cherished of the us, Ruin in your greedy haste;

Give unto the saw iusatiate Beauty ne'er to be replaced.

It would be ridiculous. if it were not so pitiful, that trees. t-he fruit. of ages, and irreplaceable, should be sacrificed to be cut, up into lit- tle Dieces, There is no use for big timbers that. could be fashioned only from such trees. No, these slants are used for lumber that could be obtained from Krowth; “my are even worked up into such insignificant things as box materials and shingles. such as any small tree could provide. Big trees are better only in that they may be more eoonomicaly utilized —in thattheir expioiters can nmka more money.

WVATERFOWL DECLIN E

The history of American wot-ew- fowi has been one of almost. un- ititierrupted decline ever since the “unify tn general has been in- hauled by White men, Destruction 0f breeding ai-oiinds by drainage no doubt. has been an impcrtaut factor adverse to the wild fowl, and it is an irrevocable one. Our efforts in creating refuges, while laudable, are far too puny to have any notable effect on wild fowl numbers. The loss of breeding Hounds on the whole is irretriev- able, and so far as we can judge the former wild fowl nurseries of the northern Great Plains Region will never be restored to anything like their former productivity. The waterfowl have seriously decragsad in the experience of every - tlon of our people. so that there is not, one now existing when there were formerly a thousand. and they are regionally subject B180 tn special catastrophas as Clllqllflht anttifliaeaaethat in some years almost nullify Nptoductivc effort.

Not only has the natural pro- duction of wild fowl been moot drastically reduced, but the num- bei- of hunters has vastly inmos- ed. All wild fowl resorts are now accessible to hunters and the birds are safe nowhere - except, on in- adequate refuges and by virtue of the protection of closed seasons, and other restrictive measures.

Under those circumstances, vast- ly reduced reproduction of wild fowl and greatly increased kill by hunters. there can be only one re- sult. namely. steady progress to- ward extermination, and that. ia exactly what. la happening to our waterfowl at the present tima. Sportsmen. at lea-st. all of those to whom the word can proper] be applied, certainly will want lo do nil in their power to prevent the

impending debacle of our watnt-
