As we see it, the authorities in Victoria took a right and reasonable step in having a report prepared by a logging expert on the tim ber in question, and the general facts surrounding the situation, But in the face of th a t report they would seem to be hardly justified in ' taking fu rther action, although the seiner the plateau is, taken oyer,, as a national park the better. Nor has West Vancouver the money to purchase th e timber, even if its cutting should have an ad- , verse effect on the fu ture of the area as a^.ii]layground. And about th a t there seems to be now quite a difference of opinion. Of course, itfgoes without saying that'som ebody is very . wrong indeed as regards the amount of tim ber available for , cutting, if not about its quality, This is very evident when one' considers the wide divergence of opinion between, the figures preserilOd by Mr. Rodgers, the government expert, and those stated by Mr. Heeps. According to reports in the press Mr. ..Rodgers' cruise gives the limits as containing 54 per oent of excellent, balsam, 33 per cent, o f'hemlock overmature aiid 60 per. cent of it not worth- loggihg, 8 per cent yellow cedar of low grade, and 5 per cent of excellent red cedar. Oi\̂ account of the tim ber generally: runhing so strongly to pulp, i t could not, in Mr. Rodgers' opinion be sold on today's miarket a t anywhere near the price necessary to make even a return of capital, let alone a profit. C ontent of. the area Js„estim ated-at-29,300,0p0jfeet,„. hut there would be no g reat fire" hazard and the slash could easily be disposed of. On the other hand Mr. Heeps asserts he has more than 100,000,000 feet of lumber in sight, 50,000,000 of it hemlock which he will.be able to m arket a t a profit, Just as wide a difference of opinion exists as to the SPRINKLING RESTRICTIONS Owing to the long drought, which extends all over the province, it ha|i become neces­ sary to put in force regula­ tions similar ;th .those now ob­ taining in, 0]lher parts of Greater VanCQUvci', the object of such regulations being to ensure a doni^tic\ supply of "water to every household in the 'municipality. Our readers are asked to kindly refer to the official notice relative to these restrictljons, which ap­ pears , on this;i page. In th is connection it '^should be ex­ plained th a t the onlv reason why absolute prohibition has been put in force in these areas is because water cminot be su p p li^ f ^ m any other sources thaii;; those from which it is obtained at present.
