Some of bur", best judges sny thai, snouiu mo same recklessness among our lumber operators continue in the futuro as In "lho past, the 'next five years will certainly witness that rosult. Pacts are auid to bo stubborn things. In proof of our assertions we invito you lo a candid consideration of what follows. Tho umountof pino timbor cut on the Susquehanna river and its tributaries, fur tbo past five years, Would probably exceed annually fie hundred million (500,000,000) feet. Should this aume amount be cut an nually for tbo next five years, it would amount to, two billion five hundred million (2,500,000,000) feet.

" '" ' " '''' ' Snpposo that lho timber lands of the above counties would average 10, 000 feet of pine per acre, which they will not do, it would require 250,000 acres lo produce the above amount. By a f:areful compilation we have as certained that tho area, in acres, of such parts of the aboic counties as lie on these waters, including farm ;iqds barrens, and otbor portions previously limbered, is as follows : I.yonming Potter Cameren Tioga.,.,. fclt....
