See America First The optimist who coined the phrase "See America First" was no doubt inspired by the attractions of the mountain lands of California; for certainly nowhere in the accessible world is the full sublimity of Alpine scenery so effectually combined with facilities, natural and man-made, for enjoying the outdoor life. The trout-laden streams, the hidden glades and mountain meadows where pasturage never fails, the plentiful game in feather and fur, and finally, the immunity of the camper from summer rains, all combine to make the wilds of the Coast ranges and the Sierras peculiarly attractive to the fugitive from the city and its sordid ways. Nor are these benefits concentrated in any one vicinity. From one end of the state to the other these beguiling places beckon the business-worn urbanite, with such a rivalry of charm as to bewilder and make the choice itself the only burden. And as there are two classes of vacationists, the easy-goers who like luxurious hostleries "with every modern appointment" and the robust nature lover who flees these very things, so likewise the mountain resorts differ in character, furnishing every man accommodation to his deeire. Frequently these two different ideals of vacation enjoyment are exemplified in the same locality. Witness Tahoe Tavern and Tallac, on the one hand, and the wild moun- fifteen middlings, arsenic twenty ounces, and syrup to make it stick. If it is for grasshoppers, and you want a big batch, use the above formula, but call it pounds instead of ounces, and use two gallons of syrup. If there are lots of the insurgents feeding outside, spray the grass with paris green, about one pound to 2 gallons of water, and it will make them support the administration, quit the job right away. A few wives stay and want their salaries raised but a second dose generally stays them off for Goldfields. Decline of the Forest In this annual report of State Forester Lull, a copy of which has been received, that official treats in a practical way of the decline of the forestland California and their increasing importance to the industrial life of the state. The attitude of the state toward those interested in the permanent fare of the industries dependent on forest preservation will unite to secure more effective forestry legislation. We quote from his interesting report follows: To gain a clear idea of the change in the condition of the forest that has occurred in the course of settlement will be helpful to compare its present state with the virgin forest. Picture forest of unbroken continuity cloak from summit to plain the mountains both sides of the interior valleys from Oregon border southward to Tehachapis where the two branches Frequently these two different ideals of vacation enjoyment are exemplified in the same locality. Witness Tahoe Tavern and Tallac, on the one hand, and the wild mountain camps almost within sight of them, on the other. Or the Tamalpais Tavern, with its cuisine and city comforts, looking down on many a gulch and canyon where the deer seek cover and the camper dreams himself alone. Also transportation affords a similar choice. Noble caravansaries there are in the state where the weary are deposited on the hotel steps, as it were, by the passing train; and there are far hidden rendezous at the termination of miles of trail—delicious trysting places with Nature herself, alone—that may be attained only by the rugged resort of pack-train and saddle. And then there is the compromise between the two, represented by the scores of charming inns of the mountains, reached by stage—sometimes but a mile or two from the station, sometimes at the end of two days' muscle-racking journey. Mountain-climbers will head for Shasta, or the Tallac country, or the trails of Mt. Wilson. Or those who really mean it will start in for the uncertain trails of Inyo, where Mt. Whitney lifts its head, unrivaled in all the United States for altitude. In the far north, Mt. Shasta, nearly as high as Whitney, and bearing aloft two thousand feet of summer snow, combines the attractions of the wilderness and civilization after the manner of the Swiss Alps. For here are to be enjoyed the ample comforts of a good hotel in conjunction with such facilities as guides and alpenstocks for the climb up the snow-fields, in an ascent which falls in the same class with that of Mt. Blanc. To gain a clear idea of the change in the condition of the forest that has curred in the course of settlement will be helpful to compare its present state with the virgin forest. Pictures of forest of unbroken continuity cloak from summit to plain the mountains both sides of the interior valleys from the Oregon border southward to the Tehachapis where the two branches united to extend a long, hook-shaped arm over the uplifted areas surrounding San Bernardino valley and the adjacent plain! The quality of the forest varied greatly in different locations, because numerous species were confined to certain regions by natural factors, climate, and elevation. The redwood forest occupied an area along the northwest coast over what ocean fogs drifted in summer; spruce and fir grew in the higher elevations next below came the cedar with sugars and yellow pine, while nearer the valley, as a fringe to the heavy forest was a belt of shrubs, or chaparral, termixed with oak and drought-resistant pines. This magnificent resource covering approximately 34,000 acres, or one-third of the state, was equaled by that of any other state either the size and perfection of individual trees or its location on lands fit for other uses. The area of forest land in this today is practically identical with an original area, very little having been turned to other uses. The change therefore have resulted solely in a reduction of the area of merchant timber. Two causes have operated effect this change, lumbering and fire. The vast amount of material taken from the forest to supply the demand of settlement and development has been duplicated or exceeded by use of timber of lesser value, which has been sacrificed and rejected. The woods full of moss-covered trunks from which only the butt log has been taken. When only the best material would bear the cost of milling and market—the inferior had to be left, even there had been a thought of taking which is improbable, for the supposed inexhaustible.

Blanc. Diet of Worms While the indications have been that there would not be a distressing epidemic of the false army worm this season, as there were not many of the moth visible in the early portions of the season, yet we have received occasional complaints of their presence in the gardens doing damage to young plants. Do as you did last year. Have the bran molasses and arsenic balls rolled up for them to eat, after you have let the chickens get surfeited with them—and they will. A chicken gets so sick of worms when they are constantly crawling before her, she wishes she could hire out as a medical expert. You cannot put out the poisoned bran nor have the grass sprayed with paris green while the chickens are out. The dope is made the same as for killing grasshoppers: One ounce of paris green to eight ounces of chopped grass and syrup enough to stick it together in balls. If you use bran use this proportion: Forty ounces bran, only the butt log has been taken. When only the best material wood bear the cost of milling and market, the inferior had to be left, even there had been a thought of taking which is improbable, for the supply seemed inexhaustible. As a result lumbering has left the forest in an sightly and deplorable condition. Lumbermen have been called "vanda because of it, yet they have simply catered to the wants of a fastidious public. Their actions have been determined by economic conditions. It is estimated that twenty per cent of the redwood area has been cut over Fire has been used there as a necessary step in the operation, but as a copper growth follows in spite of it, it is doubtful if the merchantable area of redwood timber would have been permanently reduced even had succeeded fires been prevented. A relatively small portion of this area, when cleaned, has been turned to other uses. In the yellow and sugar pine belt methods of cutting have been followed a culling method, whereby only larger trees are removed, and clipping, which results in complete removal. Practically all of the acceptable portions of the Sierra forest have been worked over according to one other of these methods. The condition of the forest and lumbering is ripe for fire, the danger from which is multiplied by theracted drought of California summers. Engines, campers, prospectors, lumbermen and, in fact, every possible source of fire, combine with these conditions to cause conflagrations. Following fire, chaparral species invade the burned area, and the composition of the forest changes from merchandise timber to brush. Thus the fright of chaparral, which formerly bordered of the Forest Report of State Forestof which has been retrial treaties in a practicine line of the forests of their increasing importtrial life of the state.

Particular empire the limitations and news, in the hope that in the permanent welustries dependent on will unite to secure foresty legislation. We interesting report as idea of the change in the forest that has occourse of settlement it to compare its present origin forest. Picture a on continuity cloaking plain the mountains on interior valleys from ever southward to the two branches the forest, has invaded it to the permanent exclusion of other species, unless artificial replacement is resorted to. Chaparral now holds the land on whole townships which formerly producded merchantable timber, and the cause of its extension remains unchecked. It must not be inferred that land encroached upon by chaparral is worthless and unworthy of care. In general, it is true that such areas will never bear merchantable timber again unless planting is resorted to, but as a protective cover to watersheds heavy chaparral is almost as good as a stand of forest species. Hence, for this reason alone the areas now occupied by chaparral should receive full protection, while unusual care should attend lumbering to prevent fires from causing the brush to encroach still further on areas producing merchantable lumber. DIRECT VALUE OF THE FOREST. The value of the forest as a source of useful material is so evident that it will be sufficient to dwell briefly on this important province. It is impossible to imagine a civilization without wood. Even the commonest articles used habitually require wood for their manufacture, although usually only the channels of greatest consumption, such as railroads, building, mines, etc., are considered. Moreover, the uses of wood, multifarious now, are steadily increasing. Some conception of the direct financial significance of the forest may be gained from the following incomplete figures collected by the forest service: The total cut of lumber in California during 1905 approximated 1,210,000,000 board feet, or 4.4 per cent of the total cut in the United States. In the production of shingles California stood second, being credited with 562 million.

In the production of shingles California stood second, being credited with 562 million. Virginia was the only state to exceed the 48,144 cords of tanbark supplied by California. California's standing timber to-day probably represents an intrinsic value of much more than $200,000,000. When manufactured it will be worth fifteen times as much, and this immense wealth will be distributed into the pockets of every citizen, because it will be created by labor and the wages will be put into circulation. It is roughly estimated that even now the forest products of the state bring an annual revenue of $20,000,000. Considered thus alone, as a financial resource, the value of the forest to the state assumes tremendous importance. Crops Will Be Good The first note of good cheer as to the growing crops in the great Central West comes from Uncle Sam's head farmer, Mr. Wilson, secretary of agriculture. He has obtained reports from all over the country, and his conclusion is that there is nothing to worry about. The season is acknowledged to be late, but the weather has not prevented the farmers from getting the land ready for seeding; and now with a return of propitious skies a great acreage will go into cereals of all kinds, and the quick, hot summer of the great grain belt, from the Canadian borders down to the tier of states stretching along a line drawn east and west through Chicago, will do its work. When the reapers and headers begin to hum in August and September, great streams of golden wheat will roll out, together to make seas of prosperity and plenty of food in all the chief market centers of that wonderful empire farm, over which Gould line will come into this by some route. Let us all keep on working, keep on smiling. Every good comes our way. There will neither let nor hindrance in growth and prosperity of Los Angeles and of all the surrounding cities. "Excelsior" is the only rallying cry. Death of Mrs. Carrillo Mrs. Vicenta Carrillo, one of oldest of California pioneers and tive of Los Angeles, died Wednesday morning at the home of her daughter Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, at the age years. The news of Mrs. Carrillo death, while not wholly unexploring to her extreme age, can surprise to the citizens here, be of her extreme good health and markable vitality. The end without pain or suffering at 8:30 noon yesterday morning. Mrs. Carrillo made her home since 1860 and of late years has her home with her daughter. Ninety-four years ago Mrs. Carrilla was born in Los Angeles. W young lady she moved with her ents to a ranch. There she married Thomas Yorba, a prosy Spanish rancher, and as a result this union five children, three boys two girls, were born. Mr. Yorba died in 1840 and six later Mrs. Yorba married Ramon Carrillo. Eight children were born Mr. and Mrs. Carrillo, all of whom now living. Their names are H Carrillo, Mrs. Peter Riehards, M W. Kirby, Mrs. Adolph Rimpau Fred Alvarado, Mrs. R. Harris, C miar Carrillo and J. G. Carrillo. Mrs. Carrillo's early life was adventure. In 1848 when G Fremont was marching up the hill with his soldiers he stopped at the rillo ranch for a day or two after good lady and her husband genera supplied the general and his men food and tendered them the use ranch as a camp ground as long as wished to stay. Mrs. Carrillo was probably the best inhabitant of foreign paren born and raised in Southern Calif She used to relate many inter- belt, from the Canadian borders down to the tier of states stretching along a line drawn east and west through Chicago, will do its work. When the reapers and headers begin to hum in August and September, great streams of golden wheat will roll out, together to make seas of prosperity and plenty of food in all the chief market centers of that wonderful empire farm over which Mr. Wilson watches. So let us all stop borrowing trouble, trust to providence and the fertile soil of America, and go on with our accustomed work. The crops are not all. Announcement was made in New York the other day that the Southern Pacific railroad company would be in the market soon to sell $40,000,000 worth of bonds. This money is to be spent in betterments along their lines. That means work, wages and money in many ways all along from El Paso through Arizona and California.

ELY BROTHERS, 56 Warren Street, New York Fremont was marching up there with his soldiers he stopped at the rillo ranch for a day or two and good lady and her husband generously supplied the general and his men food and tendered them the use ranch as a camp ground as long as wished to stay. Mrs. Carrillo was probably the most inhabitant of foreign parents born and raised in Southern Californi She used to relate many interincidents and happenings when Angeles and San Diego were the trading points in Southern Californi and Indians were the principal in tants. She leaves seventy grateful dren and ten great grandchildren. About two weeks ago, realizing her death was not far away, owed her extreme age, she told her day that when the end came she wish pall bearers to be selected from her grandchildren. The funeral was held from the pau residence at 9:30 o'clock in morning, Rev. Father Dubbel owing. The remains were convey their last resting place in the Ancestral cemetery. The treasury department announced that the per capita circulation month was $34.96. We can account all of our share in it except the $25. This suggestion of Speaker Cory for vice president is probably inticable. But there certainly won a lot of things doing if "Uncle Ever took charge as president of senate." President Roosevelt has had many fantastic things said of him it remained for Editor Watterer to him as a "near democrat."
