C., Jan. 27, 1895, respondence of the GAZETTE.) California has over 28,000,000 acres, one fifth of its total area, under cover. Much of this land is fine bered, and, with forest management will be increasingly valuable for wood it can supply. But in Californias recent economical history. Because the need of water and the floods public sentiment in favor of protection in California has been well in advance of that in states, and was conspicuously ill advised after President Cleveland, in proclaimed the 13 federal reserves at the close of his administration Everywhere else in the west the sition aroused was so strong that proclamation was temporarily suced; but a special exception was made the case of California, where opinion was from the first strong favor of the reserves. Something less than one third entire wooded area of the state embraced in the federal forest rea That the remaining 20,000,000 acres may be made to serve the interest in the fullest possible sure, the state has solicited and supported the cooperation of the bureau of try in working out a proper Rev. Henry Brinkmeyer of Cincinnati is a guest of C. F. Grim. Rev. Brinkmeyer is president of St. Gregory's seminary of that city. The board of audit composed of Alex. Wright, M. Nebelung and Geo. A. Ruddock, began work Monday on the books of the water company. The board will hold daily sessions in Secretary Krick's office.

Mr. Swisher, who recently sold his ranch near here, has taken an interest in the firm and will be found ready to do his utmost for the good of this section wherein he has the greatest confidence. Mr. Eymann will devote himself between his offices here, Los Angeles and Ocean Park. Mrs. John Meredith passed away at her home on Lemon street at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning after a long illness of many months. She was in her seventy-ninth year and had resided here for thirty years. She leaves two sons and a daughter to mourn her loss. The interment occurred on Monday morning. Her children were at the bedside of desceased at the time of her death and the obsequies were attended by a number of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mrs. Meredith left considerable property which she bequeathed to her children. Mrs. L. D. Board of Orange went into the wood shed Monday evening at dark to get some kindling for the evening fire, when she discovered the dead body of her husband hanging by a rope to a rafter overhead. Beard had left the house a short time before, and when found life was entirely extinct. Neighbors were at once called and the body cut down and taken into the house. Beard was well known throughout the county. He was aged 37 years and leaves a wife and baby girl. He had been drinking of late and is supposed to have taken his life in a fit of melancholia. Alex. Henry had his fowling piece out at Caledonia Grove some evenings Almond Johns, recently from the east has purchased the Joseph Gau-tier 20 acres on Garden Grove road just south of the Sparks ranch. Price $4,600. Mr. Johns will move onto his new possessions this week. He expresses himself as well pleased with this neighborhood. W. C. Eymann made the deal. The ladies of the Catholic church entertained at progressive whist at Back's hall on Tuesday evening. Ladies' prizes were awarded as follows: Miss Martha Pratt, first; Miss Agnes Nicolas, second; Miss Susie Dauser, consolation. Gentlemen's prizes: W. B. Hutchinson, first; Willie Kretchmer, second; F. Pratt, booby. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable time participated in. Assemblyman Amerige writes from Sacramento saying he will support Bard for re-election as United States Senator to the extent of casting one vote for him on joint ballot, after which he will support Flint. Mr. Amerige adds he will vote once for Bard despite the fact that a number of Bard people fought him during his recent canvass for the assembly. He favors a caucus of southern California legislators, and circulated a petition with this end in view, at Sacramento the past week. The convention which nominated Amerige adopted resolutions favorable to his entering a republican caucus at Sacramento, and he violates no confidence in announcing himself as in favor of such caucus. It is not even incumbent upon him to vote a single time for Bard, he having made no pledge so to do during the campaign. Senator Anderson, on the other hand is obligated to sit upon the fence outside the caucus, shouting for Bard. The senatorial convention nominating him adopted resolutions instructing him to remain out of a republican caucus, and this will probably be congenial to him. A republican legislator debarred the right of participating in a republican caucus seems to be tied hand and foot, and this is the predicament Anderson finds himself in. Death of Dr. Bardiff. Dr. C. Bardill was born in Janez, Switzerland, August 20, 1836, and died in Monrovia, California, December 31, 1904. Dr. Bardill was a graduate of Humboldt Medical college in St. Louis, Missouri, and afterwards studied medicine and surgery in Switzerland. In 1859 he went to Colorado and engaged in mining at Russel Gulch and other points in the vicinity of Pike's Peak. In 1861 he enlisted in the twenty-sixth Illinois, volunteer infantry, as a member of the band, but served most of the time of his enlistment as a surgeon in the regimental hospital.

Members of the state have since July, 1903, examined 21,000,000 acres of forest and lands, and by the end of the year entire state will have been cooled.The different types of land—as a land, chaparral, pasture and rural land, barrens, cut-over land burned—will be mapped and stand of timber in each location roughly estimated. Forest rangeland may be increased in number or land more suitable for that purpose found. But the subject of paramountance is the prevention and control fires.A good opportunity for management along this line was afforded by bureau by cooperation with the owner of an 80,000-acre tract where previously introduced a crucifix protection system.A comprehensive plan was outlined and its begunThere has not been time thorough trial but its installation had an excellent effect.The path of the tract has been greatly imprinted and the neighbors now voluntarily port all fires, whether on or against there has not been any fire on that tract this season.Splendid showing is an impressive lesson.Iit proves the efficiency intelligent care and of fightingthe start.The present fire law state are incomplete and inadequateOne result of the work of the law which, if adopted, will be the recommendation of law which, if adopted, will be ever passed by any state.

Henry had his fowling piece out at Caledonia Grove some evenings ago in commemoration of the fall of Port Arthur. He fired twenty-one guns which were heard in town and throughout the countryside. Alex participated in the siege of Sevastopol, and long ago said the fall of Port Arthur was merely a question of time. Relative to the plate glass windows broken in town by concussion from the cannonade on the occasion of the election jollification, Alex. states he has decided to pass the bill up to the republican club, which wanted him to bring in the cannon and bombard. This he did. People with bills for broken glass will therefore hand them over to the club.

Such expert control will be essential in solving the problem best way to get rid of slash, until burned, is a constant measure of forests. Extensive experience in slash burning have already carried on by the bureau with a history results. The bureau agents are also aware of habits and rate of growth and yellow pine to determine its viability of lumbering so as to a second crop. The field work studies is now about complete. On what growth and returns expected from plantations of species of gum is nearly retransmitted. The study of chaparral has fruitful practical conclusions. In California the same remarkality to encroach upon and spread open country that it exhibits in and elsewhere in the semi-arid zones of the southwest. It satisfactory watershed cover, most constantly replaces a forested by fire. Its composition with aspect and elevation are damage by fire. The natural reproduction of trees has been thoroughly invaded by the bureau, together with that of the forest in the past, the fire upon forest reproduction, test between chaparral and forested areas, and the rate of young forest trees. Every stand has large valuable forests or which demands extensive use for farming purposes should interest, adopt a definite and enforced forest policy.

CALIFORNIA'S FOREST AREA WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENT DUE TO IRRIGATION State Which Appreciates the Value of its Forests, and Is Taking Active Measures to Protect Them. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2.—(Correspondence of the GAZETTE.) — California has over 28,000,000 acres, or over fifth of its total area, under forest cover. Much of this land is finely timed, and, with forest management, be increasingly valuable for the aid it can supply. But in California forests have another use, which, as well understood, is even more important than the production of timber to conserve the water supply. The wonderful agricultural development which irrigation has made possible is maps the largest fact in California's recent economical history. Because of need of water and the fear of public sentiment in favor of protection in California has always been well in advance of that in other states, and was conspicuously illustrated after President Cleveland, in 1897, claimed the 13 federal reserves created at the close of his administration. Anywhere else in the west the opposition aroused was so strong that the legislation was temporarily suspend; but a special exception was made in case of California, where public opinion was from the first strongly in favor of the reserves. Something less than one third of the rare wooded area of the state is now traced in the federal forest reserves. At the remaining 20,000,000 acres of forests may be made to serve the public interest in the fullest possible measure, the state has solicited and secured cooperation of the bureau of forests in working out a proper forest management plan. PROCEEDINGS OF WATER BOARD Proposed Bonds Must Be Sold at Not Less Than Their Face Value Jan. 7, 1905. Regular meeting of the Board of Directors with the following members present, namely, Crowther, Bradford, Hale, Kraemer, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. The minutes of the preceding meeting of Dec. 17, 1904 were read and approved. The ditch committee reported having investigated the matter of the ditch through the lands of the Olinda Land company and further that a letter has been sent to said company saying that this company is still ready to carry out our part of the agreement formerly agreed upon whereby this company will construct a cement ditch as soon as the Land company shall have hauled the gravel and cement. The ditch committee also recommended that the superintendent be instructed to remove the tules from the Tuffee reservoir, and also that the matter of the Mrs. Stone ditch has been referred to the superintendent to find out what part of the work will be borne by the stockholders along said ditch. The same committee also reported an offer from the city of Fullerton whereby the city will pay $200 toward a pipe line through the Ruddock orchard and along Malden avenue. The ditch committee also recommended that the Tuffee reservoir be fenced. Moved by Sherwood, seconded by Hale, that the offer of the trustees of the city of Fullerton to pay $200 toward a pipe line be accepted. Carried. The report of the finance committee was received and filed and warrants were ordered drawn on the treasury for the various amounts as therein recommended. Said report showed demands on the treasury amounting to $4142.97 and available cash $12504.48. TYLER RESIGNS AS TRUSTEE No One Yet Appointed to Fill Vacancy—Gas Ordinance Is Passed. The board of city trustees met on Tuesday evening; present trustees Rust, Fletcher, Berdrow and Tyler; absent, Darling. Trustee Tyler tendered his resignation as a member of the board, owing to his removal to the northern part of the state. The same was accepted and Mayor Rust suggested that a vote of thanks be tendered the outgoing member of the board. The matter will be taken up at the next meeting. No successor to Tyler has been appointed. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for December: For water, $273.60; lights, $667.80; licenses, $485.50; total, $1,426.90. Delinquents collected: Water, $22.85; lights, $24.35; total, $47.20. Delinquents reported: Water, $35.55; lights, 42.45; license, $10; total, $88. Treasurer Hartung reported the following funds on hand: In general fund, $909.17; bond fund No. 1, $1,065; No. 2, $157.50; No. 3, $1,327.50 library fund, $445.92; total, $3,905.09. Recorder Howard reported collection of $9 in fines during the closing month of the year. The finance committee reported approval of bills to amount of $1,753.39. The public improvements committee reported laying water mains to new residences and that the city teams were engaged in hauling gravel. The ordinance committee reported The bureau agents are also studying habits and rate of growth of sugar yellow pine to determine the practicability of lumbering so as to secure second crop. The field work on these fields is now about complete. A report what growth and returns may be expected from plantations of different things less than one third of the area wooded area of the state is now located in the federal forest reserves. At the remaining 20,000,000 acres of forests may be made to serve the public interest in the fullest possible measure, the state has solicited and secured cooperation of the bureau of forests in working out a proper forest pay for it. Members of the bureau since July, 1903, examined over 200,000 acres of forest and brush lands, and by the end of the year the state will have been covered. Different types of land—as timberland, chaparral, pasture and agricultural land, barrens, cut-over land and flooded land—will be mapped and the total timber in each location will be highly estimated. Forest reserves may be increased in number or size, if more suitable for that purpose is found. But the subject of paramount importance is the prevention and control of fires. A good opportunity for experiment along this line was afforded the Bureau by cooperation with the private owner of an 80,000-acre tract who had previously introduced a crude fire protection system. A comprehensive plan was outlined and its execution begun. There has not been time for a thorough trial but its installation has been an excellent effect. The patrolling the tract has been greatly improved at the neighbors now voluntarily retest all fires, whether on or off the street. There has not been a serious concern on that tract this season. This incident showing is an impressive objection. It proves the efficiency of intelligent care and of fighting fires at start. The present fire laws of the state are incomplete and inadequate. The result of the work of the bureau is the recommendation of a fire which, if adopted, will be the best ever passed by any state. The most encouraging fact in forest management is the growing determination of large timberland owners to deploy private foresters to handle their holdings. This will ensure a method of lumbering less wasteful than at present practiced, and, more important by far, it will be the means better protecting the forests and making them yield a continuous crop. Such expert control will be especially valuable in solving the problem of the way to get rid of slash, which still burned, is a constant menace to forests. Extensive experiments slash burning have already been carried out by the bureau with satisfactory results. The bureau agents are also studying habits and rate of growth of sugar yellow pine to determine the practicability of lumbering so as to secure second crop. The field work on these fields is now about complete. A report what growth and returns may be expected from plantations of different things less than one third of the area wooded area of the state is now located in the federal forest reserves. At Sherwood, seconded by Hale, that offer of the trustees of the city of Fullerton to pay $200 toward a pipe line be accepted. Carried.

No question before therMr.Mitchell declared,pinterest sociological The study of chaparral has led to fruitful practical conclusions. It shows California the same remarkable ability to encroach upon and spread over open country that it exhibits in Texas and elsewhere in the semi-arid regions of the southwest. It makes a satisfactory watershed cover, and almost constantly replaces a forest destroyed by fire. Its composition varies with aspect and elevation and with damage by fire. The natural reproduction of forest trees has been thoroughly investigated by the bureau, together with the extent of the forest in the past, the effect of the upon forest reproduction, the contrast between chaparral and forest on burned areas, and the rate of growth of young forest trees. Every state which is large valuable forests or a climate which demands extensive irrigation for farming purposes should, in its own interest, adopt a definite and enlightened forest policy. Work similar to that nearing completion in California would be in progress in at least a dozen other states in the Union right now, if vast timber resources are not to be further ruinously depleted and the farming interests are to be properly safeguarded. W. F. Heatham, of Santa Ana, has faced on exhibit at the Anahaim Chamber of Commerce room some hawthas, a new fruit which belongs to the vegetable kingdom and is now making its first appearance on the coast. The fruit is well liked by all who have tried it. Some vegetarians, newcomers from the east, have rented 110 acres between here and Los Angeles and will want the entire tract to choata.

Effect of the Irrigation Program Eastern Land and Infrastructure Institutions. Some of the sociological studies do the rational irrigation in America, not only through number of homes to be constructed watering desert through the far-reaching work out of great government policy and the generation of the American people vantage of this practice by east. The social side of irrigation described in the single chapter Irrigation subdivides large home tracts. Irrigated communities contain smallest farms in the world contains thousands of five farms from which men are fortable livings. The society of some of the most intensive tracts are perhaps the most effective of those of any community world. Now the effect of the irrigation works being pushed rapidly forward creates a western empire and at the same time thoroughly educates the entire country on the subject. The consequence is irrigation practices will force eastern farmers. There exist in European countries irrigation can be practiced profit on land which has a fall to grow paying crops is a crop insurer besides double yields and when eastern farm lands are divided them into smaller tilled tracts. Along with the proposed government irrigation program great agricultural education comes the establishment of nines throughout the entire vastly improved agricultural condition.

Some of the sociological factors in the national irrigation movement was the theme of an address last week before the Philadelphia congress of the American association for the advancement of science by Guy E. Mitchell, an extensive writer on irrigation and public land subjects. No question before the public today, Mr. Mitchell declared, presents more interesting sociological phase than does the rational irrigation question in America, not only through the great number of homes to be created by artificially watering desert wastes but through the far-reaching effect of the working out of great government irrigation policy and the general education of the American people on the advantages of this practice both west and east. The social side of irrigation can be described in the single clause. Irrigation subdivides land into small home tracts. Irrigated communities average the smallest farms in the world. The west contains thousands of five and ten acre farms from which men are making comfortable livings. The social conditions of some of the most intensely irrigated tracts are perhaps the most nearly perfect of those of any communities in the world. Now the effect of the great government irrigation works, which are being pushed rapidly forward, will be to create a western empire of new homes and at the same time to incidentally thoroughly educate the people of the entire country on the subject of irrigation. The consequence will be that irrigation practices will finally enthrall the eastern farmer. The facts as they exist in European countries show that irrigation can be practiced with great profit on land which has sufficient rainfall to grow paying crops. Irrigation is a crop insurer besides guaranteeing double yields and when it is applied to eastern farm lands the result will be to divide them into smaller and better tilled tracts. Along with the prosecution of the government irrigation policy and its great agricultural education will then come the establishment of rural colonies throughout the entire country and a vastly improved agricultural and social condition.
