Character and Extent of Trees
on the Islands.
CHANCES FOR GOVERNMENT.
'ho Chief of the Bureau of Forestry
Hnc Returned From the Philippines ,
Filled With the Possibilities of That
Portion of Uncle Sam's Domain ,
Washington , Fob. 10. Mr. Glf-
orcl Plnoliot , chief of the bureau of
orostry , hns returned from the Philip-
lines , where hn wan Bout Inst August by
Secretary Wilson , at the request of the
oorotary of war , to report on the forest
tolioy of the Islands.
A personal examination of the Philip-
) tno forests nucl n study of market con-
litions hnvo convinced Mr. Plnohot of
ho vnluo of timber nud of the very
grent opportunities on the island for
[ ovorumont forestry. "Both for for
estry nnd for foresters , " ho says , "tho
Philippines offer the finest field I ki ow
of. The forestry bureau of the islands ,
under Oapt. Goo. P. Ahorn , has obargo
of the development of valuable forests
composed of trees the names of which
nro mostly unfamiliar to Americans and
of whoso habits wo know comparatively
nothing. An unlimited field for profitable -
able study Is offered the young foresters
now entering the Philippine service.
? ho objection thnt the Islands am dan
gerously nuhealthy is n mistaken one.
, ' believe that a man who takes cure of
ilmsolf mny work with entire safety in
ho Philippines.
On n gunboat placed at his disposal by
Governor Taf t , Mr. Pinohot , in com-
mny witli 0iptaiu Ahorn , made n trip
of 8,000 milufl among the islands. The
ailing was clone at night , when possi-
) lo ; landings were made in the day and
ho forests of all the larger islands nud
of many of the smaller ones were ex
amined
"Probably more than half the area of
ho Islands is in forest , " says Mr. Pin-
chot.
"Tho best timber I saw was In Min-
lauao , on the road built by the army
rom the const toLiuno , where the fight
ing with the Mores hns boon going on.
There the host trees are 150 to 175 feet
high , with clear lengths of 00 to 100
'oot nud dinmotors of 8 to 0 feet. The
forest is dense nui interwoven with
creepers , nud prepress through it is
often impossible without cutting n way.
[ 'ho ' Islands contain largo areas without
forest , us along the railroad from Ma-
ilia to Dagnpau. Nearly the whole
slnud of Oobu nnd pnrts of Punay nro
vlthout forests. Oil the other hand ,
Mindanao ana Parugna are nearly all in
orest.
"Tho pine of the Bouguot provldenc e
s about the only tree which an A m
can in the Philippines will recognize.
Although nearly 700 species have boon
described nud classified , doubtless many
? hilllpino trees still remain unknown.
Very ninny of the timbers are flue cabi
net woods ; nearly all nro heavy , and
nnny sink in water. At present their
use is limited entirely by their ability to
withstand the attacks of the teredo and
the white nnt.
"Lumbering is a problem on the
si mi < ls. The death of nearly nil the
caribou has in some places reduced the
industry to the employment of baud
labor entirely , which is scarce and un
satisfactory. What lumbering is now
? oing on is of the most primitive sort.
I have soon heavy logs hnulod with
tackles by hand. A cousidonable part
of the timber used on the islands is im
ported from the United States. "
Mr. Piuohot journeyed to the Philippines -
pines by way of Russia , whore ho fonnd
an bfllciout nnd highly developed system
of government forestry. He visited the
forest schools of St. Petersburg nud
Moscow , mot the forest ofHoinls nud
made trips with them into the woods.
Ho also observed the plnnting on the
steppes.
Of the Russian forests Mr. Pinohot
says : "They are very good , ns a whole ,
though not to bo compared with those
of our own Pivoiflo coast. Across Russia
and Siberia , from Moscow to the borders
of Manchuria , one is never out of sight
of r vtr "
Mr. Pinchot will make n complete re
port on his observations in the Philip-
pines.

Washington , Feb. 16. Further In
