The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. The Appalachian forest reserve question is not local or state, but national. The problems involved are inter-state. The evils of denudation affect most seriously distant communities and the nation itself. The states containing the forests cannot be expected to reserve them for the benefit of other states; while states outside the forest area, but suffering from the denudation, are powerless to help themselves. The nation alone can act. Sixteen western states and territories, containing a population of 10,447,398, now have 144,313,485 acres of national forests; the remainder of the states, with a population of 73,494,112, have none. The Southern Appalachians contain the heaviest and most beautiful hardwood forests of the continent. In them, species from east and west, from north and south, mingle in a growth of unparalleled richness and variety.

In them, species from east and west, from north and south, mingle in a growth of unparalleled richness and variety. They contain supplies which cannot be obtained from any other region. Under present policies these will be commercially exhausted in from ten to thirty years. In northern New Hampshire eighty-four thousand acres have been made completely barren in the last fifteen years. Many lumbering towns and small cities have collapsed from the exhaustion of the forests. In the White Mountains rise the Connecticut, Merrimac, Saco and Androscoggin, watering all the New England states, except Rhode Island. In the Southern Appalachians rise the important rivers of the south, which water practically all the states south of the Ohio and Potomac, and east of the Mississippi. The Merrimac, "Rhine of America," supports a population of three hundred and fifty thousand, with property assessed at two hundred and forty million dollars. It drives mills worth one hundred million, employing annually eighty thousand people earning thirty-seven million dollars annually in wages. Other river interests involved, including the Connecticut, are vast, all depending upon the preservation of the White Mountain forests.

Congress annually appropriates millions of dollars for river and harbor improvements, for digging out these deposits, and for raising the levees of the Mississippi. France suffered a similar experience. After spending fifteen million dollars she has planned to spend twenty million more in attempting to remedy imperfectly the mischief resulting from mountain deforestation. In such cases, an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. Millions of capital are being invested in the South in industries and in bonds of water-power companies, both dependent upon the preservation of the water-powers. With the forests cut these investments will become worthless. There is perhaps no subject before the general public today where public opinion is based so completely upon misinformation, or an entire lack of knowledge of the problem in hand as that of forestry, and yet it bids fair to produce the most vital problem of the nation in Welcome, remarks the LumReview. Perhaps the most not claim made today by natural foresters is that tree may properly be treated as to be planted, developed invested, much as other grown, though under which apply specifically to eth.

Certainly the does not insist upon his farm being covered developed crops before He wants to know that strong and fertile and rice desired crops. It is better fact that encourages farmers at Washington to Nebraska and other westand recommend the deof forest areas upon vast of land where the promise crop of trees. If the to appear before the state board of equalization with its protest and this will probably be done. The orange growers of the counties of San Bernardino and Orange are placed on the defensive, and, fearing that their own assessments may be raised, will try to convince the members of the state board that there is no inequality in the assessment of the or-ange groves of the three counties. Adopt Pre-Cooling Process Redlands, July 20.—With the present orange season practically at an end the growers and packers are preparing for the handling of the crop next year. A few Redlands packing houses have closed for the season, but the majority have regular customers and will be shipping Valencias to them for several weeks yet, thus preventing all from closing down. However, all of the houses are making preparations to handle the crop next season and most of them are installing new machinery and making other important improvements. The stockholders of the Redlands Fruit association, one of the leading association houses, at a meeting yesterday, decided that next season they will make three radical improvements—pre-cooling, gang picking, and fumigation of packing boxes. The decision to pack by the pre-cooling method follows the experiments of G. H. Powell, government expert at Riverside. The association believes that the method will be far better than the old one and saving of icing charges and of decay of fruit. The gang picking plan had more opposition, some of the growers not favoring it. The idea is to have the house employ a gang of expert pickers and send them out to do all of Goose Journeys to Fairyland Beautiful fete was that given box of Los Angeles by her G.
