Senator John Anderson of Santa Ana was a naive confessor of the truth in the senate chamber at Sacramento the other day. Anderson was always long on making an ass of himself. He said very innocently that he knew a certain measure must be all right because the Southern Pacific officials had told him so. The bill provided for a right of way for railroads ten rods wide instead of nine, the width stipulated in the existing law. The measure was introduced by Anderson in the senate last week. “This bill,” said the senator “was drawn by Pacific Electric railway lawyers of Los Angeles, and is to allow that company to build four-track lines. The extra rod is necessary to such construction.” Senator Caminetti inquired if the bill might not have a more widespread effect than had been calculated on. To this Anderson responded: “I am sure it is all right. It will not work to the injury of any other railroad company in Los Angeles. I took the bill to Southern Pacific lawyers and they said they were in favor of it—that it would not work to their injury at all.” The mirth which this admission provoked threw Anderson into confusion and then he hastily remarked that he would pass the bill on the file so that its merits might be made apparent to doubting legislators before final action is taken. The humor of the Santa Ana member’s remarks lay partly in the fact that Harriman, who owns half the Pacific Electric, naturally would not object to the extra rod which it is proposed to allow the interurban lines. Later the bill was killed. Anderson made a bad break in the session of two years ago, when he offered to support an up-county measure in return for support of a bill introduced by him. The offer was made openly upon the floor of the senate and Senator Shortridge immediately directed Anderson’s attention to the fact that he was technically guilty of felony in offering to barter his vote in return for support of a bill in which he was personally interested. lands of their excess or general salts and restored former high value and Experiments have been the necessary tile pipe chased to demonstrate tical manner of removal and lowering the ground or more tracts.

Anderson had the horse laugh on him from one of the state to the other, but still Senator Anderson offers to direct sarcastic shots of ridicule to the town responsible for electing him. Anderson began his campaign of making bad breaks in the county campaign nine years ago, he being at the time a candidate for district attorney. The fact that he had not yet secured his citizenship papers cut no ice with him. However, before announcing his candidacy he went to Cash Harvey and asked his opinion upon the subject. Cash told him it would be all right. The night before the assembling of the convention Anderson was waited upon by a delegation of rural delegates at the Rossmore hotel, who wanted to take a fall out of him. Before a large gathering one of them said: "How is it, John, that you are not yet a citizen of the United States and are already a candidate for office? Do you consider yourself eligible to the office?" Anderson stood upon a chair and addressing the delegation solemnly said: "Gentlemen, Cash Harvey told me that would be all right." The delegation roared, the next day Anderson received four votes in a convention composed of 200 delegates. Anderson's breaks at Sacramento would fill a good sized volume.

This may convey some idea of the amount of capital that has been invested in this branch of irrigation in California. The collection of data and the making of experiments on the methods and cost of pumping water were begun in 1903 and have been continued to the close of 1906. The results of the work done in 1905 have been embodied in two reports, which are now in the hands of the government printer. One of these is entitled "Mechanical Tests of Pumps and Pumping plants in California," by Prof. J. E. LeConte and C. E. Tait, and the other is "The Use of Water Pumped from Wells in the Pomona District, California," by Mr. C. E. Tait. Observations have been made and records kept of the rise and fall of the ground water in Fresno and Stanislaus counties for a number of years. This preliminary work has led to the inauguration of demonstration experiments along practical lines in both places. The board of directors of the Turlock Irrigation District has decided to pump a part of their water which is rising near the surface in places. A 26-horsepower gasoline engine has been purchased for their purpose. The writer has agreed to co-operate with the district in ascertaining the effects produced by the pump when in operation in lowering the level of the ground water and the extent of the ground-water surface which is affected thereby. The growing of grapes in the vicinity of Fresno, California, is under present conditions highly profitable. While the greater part of the land is fertile and productive, there are portions which have been damaged by an excess of water. An earnest endeavor is now being made to rid these otherwise good land was made. This area North Sierras, the Sierra Southern California may be the greater part o fthe work.

New Settlers for Irrigated Lands present indications point to the conclusion that the rural population of California will be greatly increased in the next few years by an influx of settlers desiring irrigated holdings. We believe that the extensive alluvial streams of the state afford unexcelled advantages for this class of farmers. Here is, however, only one practical way of demonstrating this fact, and it is by the success of those who are here and establish homes. This matter which deeply concerns the State of California, and in furthering efforts to devise ways and means of using the new settlers get a good start on the road to success, the U.S. Department of Agriculture desires to operate. Beginning has been made along a line by the writer in preparing a Farmers' Bulletin, on "Practical Information for Beginners in Irrigation," which may be obtained by sending a request for Farmers Bulletin No. 263 to the office of Experiment Stations, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. For the years 1903 and 1904, the legislature of the State of California appropriated $5000 a year for the carrying out of investigations similar to those herein outlined. The last legislative amount to $7500 per year. Under both appropriations the State of Experiment Stations has contributed an equal amount. The importance of such work to California has induced the officers of this such of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to agree to contribute $10,000 per year for the next biennial period, being July 1, 1907, providing the State of California, through its legislative will appropriate a like sum. THE FOREST SERVICE. of a tree cover, that natural reforestation of such areas is a very slow and at best uncertain process, only taking place at all where fire is kept out for a long period, and that fire is the chief factor in the formation and spread of such areas. The second study in this connection dealt with the reforestation of important watersheds by planting. Here the conclusion was reached that planting on the Southern California mountains, except in favored localities, will be a very expensive undertaking and of doubtful success, but that a careful choice of species for planting may make gradual reforestation possible in portions of the mountains. State Forest Policy As a result of these general lines of investigation, which occupied largely the first two years of co-operative work, measures were formulated which, it was believed, the state should embody in its forest policy. These measures were submitted to the legislature in the form of a bill, in the winter of 1905, and led to the act of March 18, 1905, which revised the fire laws and created a State Board of Forestry and the office of State Forester; the latter to be filled by a technically trained forester. The State Forester's duties are in the main the enforcement of the state forest laws, the assisting of timberland owners with advice and information, and the dissemination of an interest in forestry throughout the state. Commercial Tree Studies While the general work already outlined was in progress a number of special lines of work were started. Among these were a number of commercial tree studies, the purpose of which was to provide accurate data regarding the habits and growth of the more important commercial trees, with the object of securing their continued presence in the forest by interesting timber owners in adopting methods of lumbering favorable to their reproduction. Studies of this sort were made of sugar pine, yellow pine, and white fir. A similar study had been made of redwood previous to the commencement of the co-operative work. These studies showed that the rate of growth and character of the various THE FOREST SERVICE. A. W. Cooper, in charge of California forest studies, from the annual report of the State Board of Examiners. An act of the legislature, passed 1903, the State Board of Examiners was empowered to enter into a contract with the Forest Service (then the Bureau of Forestry) of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, for the purpose of investigating the forest resources of the state, determining the means of conserving them, andulating a state forest policy. By same act, $15,000 was appropriated carrying on the work the first two years, with the provision that the Forest Service should contribute a like amount. This contract has been twice served since the conclusion of the two years, with an additional application of $5000 by both the state and the Forest Service for each succeeding year. Actual work in the state was begun the Forest Service July 1, 1903. The operative work is therefore now in fourth year and sufficient time has been used to make it possible to point results, although certain lines of research are as yet incomplete. General Lines of Work The contract outlines in a general line which the work has followed, namely: A determination of character and extent of the State's best resources; the best methods of serving them, and the formulation of state forest policy. For all the above-mentioned purposes the first step necessary was the acquisition of a knowledge of the general situation and extent of the forests of state. Accordingly an examination of 400,000 acres of forest and brush was made. This included the Sierras, the Sierra Nevadas, Sierra California mountains, and greater part o fthe redwood belt. Work also included a general classification and description of the forest types and a description of the timber resources by counties. As a result of the work, a forest map of the area was prepared, showing the extent and location of the commercial woodlands, and brush lands. Connection with this work large part of the forest were examined with regard to determining their suitability for tree studies, the purpose of which was to provide accurate data regarding the habits and growth of the more important commercial trees, with the object of securing their continued presence in the forest by interesting timber owners in adopting methods of lumbering favorable to their reproduction. Studies of this sort were made of sugar pine, yellow pine, and white fir. A similar study had been made of redwood previous to the commencement of the co-operative work. These studies showed that the rate of growth and character of the various species made them well adapted to conservative lumbering and the securing of successful crops of timber. Studies somewhat similar to the above were made of eucalyptus and of tanbark oak. The eucalyptus study included the collection of growth figures from the principal eucalyptus groves, as well as estimates of the yield and the financial returns from planted eucalyptus in various localities. As the eucalyptus is an introduced tree, the question of its propagation and extension was also important and the study has dealt thoroughly with these points and with the uses and commercial value of the different species. It became apparent early in the study that the genus was one of increasing importance and great future value in sections of the state climatically adapted to its production. This led to the establishment by the Forest Service of an experiment station at the University of California for the purpose of testing the strength and the mechanical and physical properties of the different species of eucalyptus, particularly in relation to their use for special purposes. These tests are still in progress., but have already revealed the fact that eucalyptus closely approaches Eastern hickory in its strength, toughness, and general durability. Tests to determine the practicability of applying preservative treatment to eucalyptus were also made on eucalyptus posts. Creosoté was the preservative used, and the tests demonstrated that eucalyptus could be successfully and cheaply treated. Sufficient time, of course, has not elapsed to determine the effect of treatment on the life of the timber. The study of tanbark oak was botanical and dendrological in its character, but included a thorough study of the tanning industry and the present and future supply of tanbark oak. It showed that the supply now available would last thirty-five years at the present rate of consumption, and that the excellent productive capacity of the tree made the outlook for a continued supply excellent, provided a few simple measures were adopted in cutting the present crop.

The men guests of Countess Rene de Baron were as delighted as amazed when a flock of young women whom they had taken down to dinner over in Paris the other night, so voices the telegraph, burst into the salon while they were sipping coffee. The aristocratic girls all wore regulation ballet tights and tulle skirts. Laughingly, they ordered the Dukes and Marquises to clear the floor. Canvass was spread over the carpet, an orchestra appeared in the next room and then led by the Russian Princess Lazareff, this blue-blooded corps de ballet pirouquetted in the most approved and graceful style. It turned out that the famous ballet master of the opera had been training the charming danseuses for weeks. The audacious innovation has found favor even with dowages usually critical. So other women may follow the countess' example. For the Fauborg St. Germain usually imitates the novelties she originates for her entertainment. Paris will soon be regarded as being abreast of El Modena when it comes to slippancy and feminine frivolity.
