It is so systematically arranged that no one will have difficulty in identifying any location, or in finding distances. A remarkable feature about this map is that it gives in detail the chief horticultural, agricultural and mineral products of California classified in counties. It also gives a miscellaneous list of industries, and it is valuable to the prospective settler for the fact that he can tell immediately by looking at the classification table where the various products are grown, how the localities are reached, etc. The map also gives the population of the different cities and towns and the county seats of the different counties together with the distance of same from San Francisco. It is printed in colors, each shade having a signification. Altogether the map is the most complete and handy map of the State ever published. A Startling Test To save a life Dr. T. G.

I perceive that he cannot tell what o'clock it is without using his glass, and somebody told me lately that he saw him hailing a police van, mistaking it for an omnibus. His face is often haggard and his air weary and disappointed, but he has the brow and eyes of a poet, which are always pleasant to look upon. He generally says the right thing at the right minute and in the right way, and he is lustily cheered, but sitting among the opposition I have abundant reason to note that he is not completely trusted. It is said that young Stanley and other youngsters of his class believe in him and that the man who is so taciturn in parliament is a charming companion among his familiars and is a gracious and genial host. Some of his postprandial mots steal out and, I should think, make fatal enemies. Somebody asked him lately if Lord Robert M. was not a stupid ass.

Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1903. Editorial Note and Comment GEORGE E. ROEDING of Fresno has been asked by the St. Louis Exposition Commission of California to take charge of the gathering, installing and managing of the horticultural exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It was discovered last Thursday that the recent municipal election in Watsonville will have to be declared null and void, and the old officers will continue in office two years longer. The election was held under a charter adopted by the last legislature, and the discovery has been made that the charter did not take effect until May 18th. When the big liner Siberia of the Pacific Mail Steamship company sails from San Francisco for the orient on her next trip she will carry freight at a cheaper rate than ever before. The appearance of a new competing transoceanic line is the cause of this most recent move by the Pacific Mail people. It is evidently their purpose to begin discouraging the competing line before it gets fairly started. The fruit men of San Jose were surprised when notice reached the local office of Porter Bros.' company, fruit packers and dealers, last Wednesday, that the company is bankrupt and that a receiver has been to handle the crop unless mitigated by immigration will reach fully 50 per cent, exceeding last year's loss, which was 30 per cent. The charge made in certain quarters that an attempt is being made to import cheap labor to compete with union labor is vigorously denied by the promotion committee. The committee states that these charges are untrue, as its work has consisted in encouraging laborers to come to the country, where the demand for help is far beyond the supply. Acting Secretary of Agriculture Moore has requested the secretary of state to ascertain from the United States consul at Mayence, the facts regarding the trial of Dr. Schlamp Von Hope, who is charged with the adulteration of wines. It was alleged in this case that the Niesteiner wines were largely adulterated and imitated. If this were so, under the act of March 3, 1903, they would be excluded from the United States ports. This act authorizes the secretary of agriculture to examine imported food products and to refuse admission to any found to violate its provisions. This government will refuse to admit into this country articles that are placed under the ban in the country or countries in which they are made or exported. The law, which is about to go into operation, authorizes the secretary of agriculture to investigate the character of the chemical and physical tests which are applied to American food. Preserving the Redwood A Washington Correspondent Speaks on Practical Methods of this Branch of Bureau of Forestry. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25, 1903. What is to be done for the redwood of the Pacific Coast is a question that has not only agitated California but of sentimental concern to the whole nation. The Bureau of Forestry, after tacking the problem in a thorough practical spirit, has worked out conclusions that should appeal as reasonable at once to the lumbermen, who cut redwood on account of its commercial value, and to those who wish this ancient and marvelous type of tree growth preserved. The results of this study are given in "The Redwood," Bulletin 38 of this bureau, by R. T. Fisher, recently sued by the department. The redwood forests are, in point o merchantable yield, probably the most dense on earth, many stands yielding 150,000 board feet to the acre; and red wood logging represents the highest development of the lumbering business that has ever been attained on the Pacific Coast. The total supply of redwood is estimated to be 75 billion feet. The amount cut in 1900 was 36 million feet with a value of $3,645,608. Although only one-tenth of the forest of the United States is owned by lumbermen, according to the last census one-fifth of the redwood is in their hands, and the stands they own are the handsomest and most valuable in the redwood belt. Ever since the Spaniards began to cut redwood along San Francisco bay, the range of the growth has been diminishing; it now occupies an area of about 2000 square miles. During the last 50 years several hundred thousand The fruit men of San Jose were surprised when notice reached the local office of Porter Bros.' company, fruit packers and dealers, last Wednesday, that the company is bankrupt and that a receiver has been appointed for all the property by the United States district court of the Northern district of Illinois. During the last thirteen weeks a total of 28,762 prospective settlers have come into California from the eastward on the colonist rates offered by the Southern Pacific to encourage immigration from the valleys of the Ohio, the Missouri and the Mississippi. With four weeks and three days more of the season of low rates the prospects are that the grand aggregate of these colonists will reach 35,000 by June 15th. The Federal government has begun a careful investigation of the proposed forest reserves in Northern and Central California. Six men will soon be at work in the field, and in a few weeks Gifford Pinchot, the government forester, will visit the proposed reserves. Complaints that county organizations in Northern California may be broken up through the inclusion of large areas of their lands in the reserves will be investigated. At a joint meeting of state officials and Federal government engineers in the office of the board of examiners last week, plans were outlined for a topographic survey of the upper Sacramento valley, with a view to cutting a canal fifty miles long on the west side of the Sacramento river. This canal, if constructed, will carry the waters of Clear Lake down the valley for irrigation purposes, the work to be done jointly by the Federal and state governments. Claiming that the law providing for a tax on the stock of national banks is illegal and discriminating the First National Bank and the Union National Bank, both of Oakland, have begun suits to recover the money they paid in taxes this year. Each bank filed two suits, one against the city and one against the county. The First National Bank will refuse to admit into this country articles that are placed under the ban in the country or countries in which they are made or exported. The law, which is about to go into operation, authorizes the secretary of agriculture to investigate the character of the chemical and physical tests which are applied to American food products in foreign countries, and when desired by shippers or owners, to inspect before shipment American food products intended for countries where chemical physical tests are required preliminary to sale there. Three feet of snow is reported from Chutts, Mont., near the international boundary, one day last week, and the thermometer raging from four to six degrees below zero. Traffic on the Great Northern is seriously interfered with and trains are being operated only under the greatest difficulty. The cuts of the road are filled high with drifted snow. Conservative estimates place the loss of stock at about $2,000,000 and the number of head of stock lost is figured at about 90,000. This loss will be swelled by the destruction of the fruit crop throughout northern Montana, which it is understood is a total loss. The storm was followed by frost of the most damaging kind, and all garden stuffs have felt its effects. The Missouri river is rising rapidly and ranchers are leaving the floods. The frost, the flood and the blizzard have dealt that section, the counties of Cascade, Teton, Chouteau and Clark, the heaviest blow in their history. Reports from Havre are to the effect that upon an average, fifty percent of the lambs have been frozen. In addition, thousands of cattle, sheep and range horses are lost. Many ranchers have lost everything, while others were prepared and saved a portion of their stock. A number of persons report miraculous escapes. No trace can be found of the three sheepherders first reported missing and it is thought their bodies lie deep beneath the snow. In the agricultural department year book, William L. Hall discusses the practicability of forest planting in the United States, which he thinks would prove beneficial redwood is estimated to be 75 billion feet. The amount cut in 1900 was 36 million feet with a value of $3,645,608. Although only one-tenth of the forests of the United States is owned by lumbermen, according to the last census one-fifth of the redwood is in their hands, and the stands they own are the handsomest and most valuable in the redwood belt. Ever since the Spaniards began to cut redwood along San Francisco bay, the range of the growth has been diminishing; it now occupies an area of about 2000 square miles. During this last 50 years several hundred thousand acres of timber have been cut over and the good lands put into cultivation or turned into pasture. As year by year the redwood forests have dwindled, it has come to be pretty generally believed that the tree is doomed to extinction. This popular idea that the redwood has no chance of survival is not well founded. The studies of the bureau of forestry have proved that possibilities of a new growth of redwood after the old trees have been removed are excellent. Given half a chance, the redwood reproduces itself by sprouts with astonishing vigor. Measurements taken by the burea on cut-over land show that in thirty years, in a fair soil and a dense stand, trees will be grown 16 inches in diameter, 80 feet high yielding 2000 feet board measure to the acre. With the knowledge that the redwood as a type need not become extinct, it is possible to consider the implementing fate of the giant redwoods in the old forests with a more cheerful mind. Occasional parks and recreation grounds, such as the Big Basin Redwood Park of the Santa Cruz mountains, may preserve small areas of virgin redwood lands: but the richest, the densest, the most beautiful on all forests are owned by lumbermen and will inevitably be cut. The trees represent invested capital; they are merchantable and will yield a profit now, small as it is. Besides in the virgin stands most of them are pass maturity, and the growth put on inconsiderable. Every consideration then induces the redwood lumberman, reason ing from his standpoint, to cut his trees. Realizing that the fate of the old trees cannot be stayed, the bureau of forestry, instead of wasting itself in attempts to check the cutting, confined itself to proving that it is worth while to to lumbermen to do less damage to the young trees in logging virgin redwood lands, and to hold such lands for a second crop. The study made concerns itself with young second growth rather than with mature trees; with timbered areas rather than with the virgin forest. Where attention was given the old forests and methods of lumbering, it was only that a better knowledge might be gained of second growth and how lo deal with it. The bureau's is the first systematic study of the redwood ever undertaken by a forester, and it has made clear several points about life and habits of the tree that are little known. CLAIMING that the law providing for a tax on the stock of national banks is illegal and discriminating the First National Bank and the Union National Bank, both of Oakland, have begun suits to recover the money they paid in taxes this year. Each bank filed two suits, one against the city and one against the county. The First National Bank seeks to recover $1890 from the city and $1075 from the county. The Union National Bank asks the return of $1890 from the city and $1875 from the county. NIEHAUS BROS., planing-mill men of West Berkeley, have instituted a suit for $164,000 damages against the Contra Costa Water company. The allegations on which the complaint is based are that on August 15th last there was an insufficient supply of water from the hydrants situated at the planning mill to subdue an incipient blaze that started, and the works were destroyed in consequence. It is claimed that Niehaus Bros. had a contract with the water company by which the latter agreed to have sufficient water and pressure for fire purposes, but upon the occasion of the conflagration there was no water to be got from the plugs. WORD has been received by the California promotion committee from thirty-four canneries in the state that the present outlook for assistance in canning the big fruit crop shows 8,000 people will be required to work in the canneries beyond the present available supply. Word received from the fruit growers show that more than 3,000 persons will be needed in harvesting the crop. From their figures it is estimated that the loss from failure A number of persons report miraculous escapes. No trace can be found of the three sheepherders first reported missing and it is thought their bodies lie deep beneath the snow. In the agricultural department year book, William L. Hall discusses the practicability of forest planting in the United States, which, he thinks, would prove very beneficial. W. H. Beal, from the official experiment stations, has an article in which he says: "Agricultural experiment stations are now in operation in every state and territory of the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico, and steps are being taken under government auspices to establish stations for agricultural investigations in the Philippines. There are sixty such stations, employing nearly one thousand trained scientific and practical men in their work. "The annual cost of these stations in 1902 was $1,328,847, of which $720,000 came from the Federal government and $608,847 from state appropriations and other sources. During the fourteen years of their existence as a national enterprise, there has been expended in their maintenance about $14,000,000, of which $10,000,000 came from the national treasury and about $4,000,000 from state sources. In an article on irrigation, Edward A. Beales of the weather bureau says the total cost of the irrigation systems of the United States is $64,-289,601, and the value of the irrigated crops for the single year of 1899 was $84,433,438, or 50 per cent greater than the cost of the plants. The number of irrigators was 102,819, which gives nearly 71 acres to the farm." The study made concerns itself with young second growth rather than with mature trees; with timbered areas rather than with virgin forest. Where attention was given the old forests and methods of lumbering, it was only that a better knowledge might be gained of second growth and how to deal with it. The bureau's is the first systematic study of the redwood ever undertaken by a forester, and it has made clear several points about the life and habits of the tree that are little known. The redwood of California belongs to a genus of which the big tree is the only other species now alive. Both are allied to the cypress, and their lumber is often called by the same name, but they are botanically distinct from each other. They do not even occupy the same situations. The big tree occurs in scattered bodies on the west slopes of the Coast range. The redwood is popularly thought to occupy a strip of country 10 to 30 miles wide, from the Oregon line to the Bay of Monterey but these boundaries do not cover its actual distribution. Two thousand acres of redwood, in two separate groups, are growing in Oregon along the Chetco river. South of the Chetco a continuous redwood belt begins. By way of the river valleys and lowlands it increases its width from 10 miles ad Del Norte county to 18 or 20 miles and keeps on unbroken to southern Humble county. Here, for about a township, it thins out, but becomes dense again 6 miles north of the Mendocino line, and after entering that county widens to 35 miles, its greatest width. The redwood belt ends in Mendocino county, but isolated forests of the species are growing in sheltered spots far south as Salmon Creek canyon in the Santa Lucia mountains, Monterey county, 12 miles south of Punta Gorda and 600 miles from the northern limit of the tree along the Chetco river. The redwood grows to a greater height than any other American tree but in girth and in age it is exceeded by the big tree of the Sierras. On the slopes 225 feet is about the maximum height and 10 feet its greatest diameter, while on the flats, under better conditions, it grows to be 350 feet high with a diameter of 20 feet. Mos SERVING THE REDWOODS Bington Correspondent Speaks of Local Methods of this Branch of Bureau of Forestry. BINGTON, D. C., May 25, 1903.

Results of this study are given Redwood," Bulletin 38 of this by R. T. Fisher, recently is the department. Redwood forests are, in point of table yield, probably the most earth, many stands yielding hard feet to the acre; and red-ging represents the highest extent of the lumbering busi-ness ever been attained on the coast. The total supply of is estimated to be 75 billion he amount cut in 1900 was 360 met with a value of $3,645,608. Only one-tenth of the forests United States is owned by lum- according to the last census, of the redwood is in their and the stands they own are the best and most valuable in the belt. Since the Spaniards began to wood along San Francisco bay, of the growth has been di- it now occupies an area of 50 square miles. During the years several hundred thousand of the redwood cut is from 400 to 800 years old. After the tree has passed the age of 500 years it usually begins to die down from the top and to fall off in growth. The oldest redwood found during the bureau's investigation had begun life 1373 years ago. The bark of the tree offers such a remarkable resistance to fire that except under great heat it is not combustible. It is of a reddish-gray color, fibrous in texture, and gives to full-grown redwoods a fluted appearance. Moisture available for the roots is the first need of the redwood, as any hilly tract of forest will show. Wherever a small gully, or bench, or basin is so placed as to receive an uncommon amount of seepage, or wherever a creek flows by, there the trees are sure to be largest. While moisture of the soil affects the development of the redwood, moisture of the atmosphere regulates its distribution. The limits of the sea fogs are just about the limits of the trees. The fogs, unless scattered by winds, flow inland among the mountains. Western exposures receive most of the mist they carry, except those higher ridges above their reach, which support, in consequence only a scattering growth of redwood. The wood of the redwood varies greatly. The softest and best trees usually grow in the bottoms, the "flinty" timber occurs on the slopes. But this rule does not always hold good. All sorts of unexpected and unaccountable differences in quality of the timber occur. A soft, fine-grained tree will be found close beside the "flinty" and less valuable. Even the practical logger is never sure until he cuts it what kind of lumber a redwood will yield. The tree's vitality is so great, it endures so many vicissitudes and suffers from so many accidents in the centuries of its existence, that the grain of its wood becomes uneven in proportion as its SENATOR CLARK TALKS RAILROAD Rushing Work on the Big Cement Bridge Across Santa Ana River. Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, president of the Salt Lake, Los Angeles and San Pedro railway, who recently passed through Anaheim in company of his brother, J. Ross Clark and others, on a tour of inspection to his Los Alamitos beet sugar factory, said for publication concerning the Salt Lake railroad: "Work on the big concrete bridge over the Santa Ana river is being hurried, and we hope to have it completed soon so that we can operated our trains in the south as far as Riverside by the middle of July. I have arranged to have material for the construction of the road shipped far in advance of the time that it will be needed, and I have followed the same plan in contracting for the rolling stock. The Salt Lake road will be the finest equipped in the country, and when I make this statement I do not exclude any of the big roads east of the Missouri river." As regards his interests in the Oregon Short Line, which he claims to have recently purchased, notwithstanding the general suspicion that Harriman still has control of it, the senator said that the directors of the road will meet in Salt Lake in June for the purpose of ratifying the recent reported sale. Before the Clark company is ready to operate trains the entire distance between Los Angeles and Salt Lake about 400 miles of track will have to be completed, but only 300 miles is necessary to bring the line in connection with the Santa Fe road at Daggett. From there to San Bernardino The Spaniards began to wood along San Francisco bay, of the growth has been discussed; it now occupies an area of 20 square miles. During the years several hundred thousand timber have been cut over, wood lands put into cultivation and into pasture.

The trees invested capital; they are valuable and will yield a profit as it is. Besides in the virgin forests most of them are past and the growth put on inconvenient consideration then, the redwood lumberman, reassembling his standpoint, to cut his timber that the fate of the old not be stayed, the bureau of instead of wasting itself in attaching the cutting, confined moving that it is worth while lumbermen to do less damage to trees in logging virgin redwoods, and to hold such lands for crop. The study made con-firm with young second growth, man with mature trees; with areas rather than with the forest. Where attention was paid forests and methods of it, it was only that a better might be gained of second and how to deal with it. Beau's is the first systematic redwood ever undertaken later, and it has made clear prints about the life and habits that are little known. The seed of the redwood will not germinate in shady places; the small seedling demands plenty of light. The crown is almost as thin and open as that of a larch, another sign that the tree is not naturally tolerant of shade. In a mixed stand the redwood's branches die off more rapidly than those of its companions, and the crown bends eagerly to places where light enters the forest canopy. But in spite of these signs of its sensitiveness to light, the redwood forms one of the densest forests that grow. The reason for this is that the stand is maintained chiefly by suckering from old trees. Supported by full-grown roots and stems, young trees grow under shade that would kill the small seedling. The sprout will endure an astonishing amount of shade. In stands of second growth, so dense that not a ray of sunlight can enter, saplings 6 or 8 feet high are to be found growing from stumps, bare of branch or foliage except for a few inches of pale green crown at the top. In very dark, damp places in the virgin forest one may find clumps of shoots as white as sprouts from a potato. Redwood possesses qualities which fit it for many uses. In color it shades from light cherry to dark mahogany. It is easily worked, takes a beautiful polish, and is one of the most durable of the coniferous woods of California. It resists decay so well that trees which have lain 500 years in the forest have been sent to the mill and sawed into lumber. The wood is without resin, and offers a strong resistance to fire, as the record of fires in San Francisco, where it is much used, indicate. Insects seldom injure it, because of an acid element it contains. In sea water, however, the marine teredo eats off redwood piling as readily as other timber. Redwood timber, says Dr. Hermann von Schrenk of the Bureau of Plant Industry possesses lasting qualities scarcely equaled by any other wood. Although very light and porous, it has antiseptic properties which prevent the growth of decay-producing fungi. So far as is now known, none of the ordinary wood-rotting fungi grows in redwood timber. It is because of its resistance to most forms of decay, that the redwood reaches such a great age.
