Only Jade Mine The only jade mine in States is in the Klamath district, Siskiyou county, California found last year by an official Samples of the jade were many to be tested, with they were pronounced too grade and capable of the polish. Preparations are now developed the mine and ship Germany to be worked in. As a first step a permit road to the mine has been granted by the Forest Service, which charged with furthering ways the development of other national forest resources. The people of Siskiyou particularly along the Klamath very proud of this discovery looking forward with bounty returns from this new railroad will probably visit the Klamath river, pass few miles of this mine. A jade mine is located mineral laws and therefore cited and operated with forest. Interest in Forest Mines The people of California backward step in their workings.

Petition of christian adventists to erect tent on corner of Center and Philadelphia streets for purposes of religious worship. Granted. Frank Shanly and others appeared before the board and entered vigorous protest to the laundry permitting the discharge waters of same to flow upon the public highway, thereby being, protestants claimed, a dire menace to health. Marshal Steadman, upon question, characterized the same as a nuisance. It was ordered that the marshal be instructed to notify the laundry management to remedy the same within fifteen days, with a further motion that, failure to comply with the order, the city attorney prosecute under the provisions of the health ordinance. Emil Heintz was granted permission to erect structure on Emily street. J. S. Howard, representing a committee of citizens, appeared before the board and presented for acceptance a deed and certificate of title to original city lot 45, the same being donated as a site for the Carnegie library. The board passed a resolution accepting the deed. Judge Howard, at the request of the donors, besides many other prominent citizens, further addressed the council advocating the advisability of asking Mr. Carnegie for the sum of $15,000, instead of $10,000 already donated. The site at the corner of Los Angeles street and Broadway is a beautiful one, and together with the parkings contemplated, the place can be transformed into a veritable paradise. In view of this the speaker contended a donation of only ten thousand would be inadequate for the erection of a building in keeping with the prospective environments. Besides the town is growing fast. For these reasons primarily the Judge was of opinion we could safely ask for $15,000. The annual tax to be borne by the city would be $1500.

The clerk was instructed to write Mr. Carnegie of the acceptance of the deed by the city. In reference to the increased donation the trustees viewed the proposition with favor. In the absence of other members of the board the matter was laid over until the next meeting, when a full board will doubtless be present. In the meantime the trustees will feel the pulse of people with reference to asking for the larger amount. The engineer submitted a profile of West Center street, from Citron to Adams, making the same of uniform width. To do this the city will have to vacate certain strips on the street and acquire others. The engineer was instructed to proceed with surveys for the street betterment, and Charles Boege, one of the best known citizens of the West End, will co-operate with the engineer in securing deeds for rights of way from abutting property owners for the acquisition of the land needed to straighten out the thoroughfare. Otherwise a district will be formed, covering the sections to be improved, and assessments levied in such cases made and provided. A break in the sidewalk on South Lemon street was referred to the marshal. Bills to the amount of $9322 12 were audited and ordered paid. The bulk of this amount is for supplies for the new powerhouse, the remainder for salaries and interest. Adjourned. Only Jade Mine The only jade mine in the United States is in the Klamath national forest, Siskiyou county, Cal., where it was last year by an old prospector. The sales of the jade were sent to Gerald to be tested, with the result that they were pronounced to be of standard quality and capable of taking a high yield. Separations are now being made to stop the mine and ship the rock to many to be worked into ornaments. First step a permit for building a dam on the mine has been secured from Forest Service, which is especially pleased with furthering in all possible ways the development of mines and all national forest resources. The people of Siskiyou county, partly along the Klamath river, are proud of this discovery and are going forward with hopes of large gains from this new resource. A road will probably be built down Klamath river, passing within a miles of this mine. Jade mine is located under the federal laws and therefore may be looted and operated within a national forest. Interest in Forest Protection The people of California think of no reward step in their forest policy workings. The state convention which recently met Petaluma to consider forestry irrigation was attended by delegates from every county in California. Discussions showed that the people alert to every phase of the question raised, and resolutions were passed such the State's forest policy was moved, measures were recommended enforcing better logging regulations to secure second crops of timber, Official Report on White Fly The recent discovery of the white fly pest at Marysville, California, the issuance of circular No. 30 by Prof. C. W. Woodworth of the department of agriculture, University of California, as well as the liberal notices from the press of the state concerning the matter, have excited an intense interest in the growers and shippers of citrus fruits in this state, and an expressed determination on their part to have the pest eradicated at the earliest possible moment. With a view of determining the true condition of affairs as to local sentiment in and around Marysville and to see if the power of the state was to be fully exercised to enforce the well-started effort in that direction, a committee of the Citrus Protective League consisting of W. E. Sprott of Porterville, and myself, accompanied by D. G. Overall, president of the Tulare County Citrus Fruit exchange, visited Marysville and vicinity during the last few days of June, and beg leave to report what appears to be the present condition of the matter. It appears that the "white fly" was discovered at Marysville and the discovery verified during the last days of May of the present year. On June 12th the Hon. Elwood Cooper, the state commissioner of horticulture, issued his official notice and warning, directing the cutting back of all citrus trees in the infected district and the destruction of all shrubbery and other food plants recognized, requiring the completion of such destruction by the state convention which recently that Petaluma to consider forestry irrigation was attended by delegates from every county in California. discussions showed that the people alert to every phase of the question solved, and resolutions were passed such the State's forest policy was solved, measures were recommended enforcing better logging regulations to secure second crops of timber, a plan was indorsed for aiding priland owners who wish to plant was further recommended that the laws be so changed that the extremely related in California than any other part of the United States. out water for irrigation the State's agricultural resources would be. Water is supplied largely from snow in the mountains during spring and summer and the wooded areas protect the snow, allowing it to slowly and reach the streams usually. Any threatened diminution in the water supply is necessarily led with alarm by owners of orchard vineyards, gardens, hay ranches, pastures, and by all who depend so solely upon these industries. California has an excellent state for service, but the people are awake to necessity of further improvement. We likewise appreciate the fire pro-pon afforded by the forest officers the government on the national fore-land and the grazing regulations which prevent pasturing the forest ranges to this. Remarkable improvements have resulted in forest conditions in at least ten years under protection of government and the state. No one else is now heard to voice a desire to back to the old way. NOTES. Robert Lubken has been appointed a lieutenant guard on the Sierra forest, South California, the appointment taking place July 3. D. Scott and W. H. Pollister have appointed forest guards on the national forest, South California. L. Smith of Willow ranch, Calinia, was appointed on July 5th a discovery verified during the last days of May of the present year. On June 12th the Hon. Elwood Cooper, the state commissioner of horticulture, issued his official notice and warning, directing the cutting back of all citrus trees in the infected district and the destruction of all shrubbery and other food plants recognized, requiring the completion of such destruction by July 8, 1907. The notice and warning was received by the county board of horticultural commissioners of Yuba county on June 14th, and at the time of our visit copies of the notice had been served upon all the owners of property, largely because of the fact that the trees in Marysville are ornamental only—no oranges being grown for commercial use—and naturally they do not recognize as quickly as those who grow citrus fruits for profit the great danger of allowing this dreaded pest to spread in the state. That these people have proven loyal to California is evidenced by the fact that at the present time nearly all objections to obeying the orders of the state commissioner of horticulture has passed away. Advices received since the return of the committee indicate that no legal resistance will be met. The citrus fruit growers adjacent to the infested district are wide awake to the threatening danger and promise their influence for the enforcement of the law. Conference with Governor Gillett show him in full sympathy with the citrus fruit interests and leaves no doubt in the opinion of the committee that the law is to be enforced to the letter, and that some experienced entomologist will be stationed at Marysville to make sure that the contemplated destruction of the white fly will be successfully carried out. The question as to whether there are available funds subject to the order of the state authorities to carry out the subsequent inspection NOTES. Robert Lubken has been appointed a trust guard on the Sierra forest, South California, the appointment taking place July 3. D. Scott and W. H. Pollister have appointed forest guards on the Sierra national forest, South California. L. Smith of Willow ranch, California, was appointed on July 5th a trust guard on the Warner mountains national forest. There is hardly a person in the United States at the present time whose business, vocation or employment does depend in some degree upon its fruits. Yet very few of them have adhered seriously the relation of the fruits to their individual welfare, nor they realize the many methods, directions and indirect, by which the forests can important part in the commercial prosperity of the nation. Paper manufacturers consume enough of our fruit products each year to build a city in its entirety; turpentine manufacturers are slowly but surely terminating the long leaf pine in the tree; telegraph and telephone poles destroy thousands of young trees annually; railroads devastate more than hundred thousand acres of timber to secure each year's supply of fruit; the boxmaker, the cooper, the vitreure, plano and vehicle manufacturer utilize millions of feet of forest products every twelve months; and all the manufacturers who do not directize forest products in their busi-depend upon them for the many thousands of crates and boxes in which their manufactures are distributed throughout the world. The question as to whether there are available funds subject to the order of the state authorities to carry out the subsequent inspection of the infested district, is as yet not determined. In brief the situation may be summed up as follows: The white fly has been discovered at Marysville, California, a city of 4000 or 5000 population; county seat of Yuba county. There are from 2500 to 3500 citrus trees within the city, mostly seedling oranges. A majority of the citrus trees are known to be infested at the present time. The trees were planted and are maintained for ornamental purposes only. Orders have been issued and notices served requiring all citrus trees in Marysville to be cut back, tree trunks whitewashed and tops and shrubbery to be burned. The state authorities are determined that such orders shall be literally obeyed and a constant espionage kept in the infected district for some time to come. You will be further advised of matters in this connection, if occasion requires. Citrus Protective League, A. G. KENDALL, secy and mgr.
