Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rod and Gun in Canada, Vol. 3: June, 1901
The dawning Of the twentieth century brings the men of to-day face to face with the fact that our forest wealth is not inexhaustible, that much of it has been uselessly and needlessly destroyed, and that if this, one of the great sources of national prosperity. Is not properly conserved the present century will see the wane Of our pre-eminence as a lumber-producing country. The problems that are to be solved in the twentieth century are not those Of the nineteenth, but the same qualities of intelligence, foresight and perseverance are required to work them out.
