Looking toward the railway cut at Nushka, where on Saturday, July 2gth, fifty-four men, women, and children attempted to take refuge and were smothered and burned to death. covering new areas. However, for years past, there has been a steady decrease in the total area of Crown lands held under license. The re- ports of the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines show, for in- stance, that in 1912 there was a net decrease of 996 square miles from the total area under license in 1911. The reduction in 1913 was 891 square miles and in 1914. 184 square miles. In 1915, the reduction was 1621 square miles. The rapidity with which cut-over lands in Ontario are being sur- rendered to the Crown is shown by the statement of the Department that 307 square miles were sur- rendered, as cut out, in 1912. In 1913, 1914 and 1915, the areas so surrendered were 257, 1, 111 and 602 square miles respectively. New licenses were issued in 1913. 1914 and 1915 covering 100, 500 and 312 square miles respectively. A Losing Deal. It is perfectly obvious that unless the burned-over and cut-over lands, including those surrendered, by license holders, are allowed to re- stock naturally, so that they can in the course of time be cut over again, the lands fit for cutting and of rea- sonable accessibility will ultimately become exhausted or approximately so. When the pinch begins to be felt, to the extent that new areas of merchantable timber, of suitable ac- cessibility to transportation, can not be located for the issuance of new licenses, there will be an increasing tendency toward the reduction of the forest revenue of the province. During the past ten years, these revenues, which go into the provin- cial treasury and relieve direct taxa- tion to that extent, have averaged.
