California Redwood Park California Redwood Park is the only forest owned by the State of California. Its name, California Redwood Park, was not happily chosen and is apt to be misleading, for the tract is in no sense a "park," as the term is generally understood; nor is it a "grove," but in every sense a forest, being composed not only of a high story of large redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens), Douglas fir, and pine, and a lower story of ma-drone, tanbark oak, and other species, but also a dense growth of shrubs, flowers, ferns, and mosses. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford university, has said: "California Redwood Park is a leaf from the greatest of virgin forests, a sample of the redwoods as they have been for ten thousand years, and one which may be preserved for all times. Besides this, it is a botanical garden where the wax myrtle, the California nutmeg-tree, the California whortleberry, the clintonia, the oxalis, and all the other plants which follow the redwoods may be likewise saved for our descendents." United States Senator Perkins has said: "I have traveled through the forests of Mariposa, and I have driven through the wonderful forests of southern Germany, yet I have never seen the equal of California Redwood Park." California Redwood Park is situated in the western part of Santa Cruz county, in what is locally forests are one of its greatest resources. Much lumber has been wasted since by clearing for cultivation. The people are now beginning to realize the importance of conserving wealth. Some parts of the state treeless, and tree planting has taken place. In the Panhandle region in spring of 1907 over 500,000 trees were set out. The Boston Journal rejoices the White Mountain Forest Surviving beginning. "The commissioner says, 'will find that frightful slaughter of the trees has been and is going on in the northerly slopes of Presidential range. He will discuss a like state of affairs in the great region between the Franconia and Crawford notches. Everywhere will run into visible evidences of effort to get all the timber possessions from the noble White hills be congress shall stay the axes and of the big lumber concerns. "Really it needs no expert invocation on the part of the Washing emissary, all he needs to do is try about a little and use his eyes. He can tell in advance exactly what report will be. May it be powerful enough to compel the next session Congress to quick and decided action." The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is sending out to the men furnish railroad ties this warm "Husband your timber, saw your Don’t hew." It is explained that by hewing a stick of timber, sixteen feet long fifteen inches wide, only two ties can be made. By sawing the stick four can be made and fifty-seven feet marketable lumber had.

United States Senator Perkins has said: "I have traveled through the forests of Mariposa, and I have driven through the wonderful forests of southern Germany, yet I have never seen the equal of California Redwood Park." California Redwood Park is situated in the western part of Santa Cruz county, in what is locally known as "The Big Basin," which is a circular depression in the Coast Range mountains. The park covers nearly 3800 acres, occupying the lowest part of the basin and extending in all directions well up toward the rim rock surrounding it. Several mountain streams flow through the park, tumbling in cascades over high rocky ledges or running turfefully over the sand and pebbles in more level places, flashing in the sunlight filtering through a break in the evergreen canopy overhead, or retreating through the overarching ferns. On one of the prettiest streams is located Governor's Camp, the summer home of the warden and the camping place of visitors to the park. The camp consists of several substantial buildings of sawn redwood surrounding a large cottage of unhewn redwood logs which is used as a living and dining room for visitors. The surrounding buildings are used for sleeping quarters, and when these are full, or, if preferred, tents and cots are provided. California Redwood Park is administered by the state board of forestry. It is under the direct supervision of a warden, whose entire time is devoted to duties in the park. First among these is attending to the wants and comforts of visitors. The park is most easily reached from the town of Boulder Creek, which is connected by rail with the coast line of the Southern Pacific railroad at Pajaro. In summer a daily stage runs from Boulder Creek Don't hew." It is explained that by hewing a stick of timber, sixteen feet long, fifteen inches wide, only two ties can be made. By sawing the stick four can be made and fifty-seven feet marketable lumber had. It is not long ago that such a working would have been considered less. It is now necessary. While fire insurance is applied almost every other valuable property owners of standing timber have unable to secure such protection, it has been with great difficulty, in all, that insurance could be obtained on logs, cord wood and sawed lumber exposed to forest fires. White Fly in Kern County Bakersfield, Aug. 10.—The dream white fly, the pest so dangerous to citrus fruit industry of the state, been found in Kern county. Will S. Tevis, while walking through private grounds at Stockdale on Wednesday, noticed the small insect becoming alarmed, forwarded spmens to the state commissioner of agriculture and the University of California. The former declared the pest that the white fly and Edward K. Carnn the commission was ordered to Ball field to make an investigation and port. He found all of Mr. Tevis's rus trees affected and immediately dered a quarantine, which has closed the beautiful grounds to the use of public. In the fall when the plants their own foliage an attempt will made to eradicate the pest. Before this time, however, an spector will be sent from the horticultural commission and his duty it be to find the extent of the pest determine what further defoliation be necessary. Mr. Tevis considers the discovery the white fly a great blow to the cultural interests of the country. explains its presence on his property by believing citrus plants imported from Florida two years ago werefected, and in their transplanting rise to the spread. It is probable that all the citrus on the big estate must be destroyed prevent the spread of the pest. vision of a warden, whose entire time is devoted to duties in the park. First among these is attending to the wants and comforts of visitors. The park is most easily reached from the town of Boulder Creek, which is connected by rail with the coast line of the Southern Pacific railroad at Pajaro. In summer a daily stage runs from Boulder Creek to Governor's Camp, a distance of 12 miles over an excellent mountain road. Private conveyances can be obtained at either Boulder Creek or Santa Cruz. The park is equipped with a telephone, which may be used by visitors, and with a postoffice, where mail is received daily. More detailed information will be furnished cheerfully on application to the Warden, California Redwood Park, Boulder Creek, California, or to the State Forester, Sacramento. American Forestry Association The Kansas City weekly Star of July 10th published a three column illustrated story, on "Forestry in Kansas." This is followed by a strong, half column editorial, on "The Duty of Planting Forests." It urged the importance of the wood lot, of the preservation and extension of forest areas, the profit to the individual in wood culture, the work of the forest service and the willingness and desire of this government bureau to aid farmers and others in prompting these policies. Texas is a large timber state. Its Mr. Tevis considers the discovery of the white fly a great blow to the cultural interests of the country. He explains its presence on his property by believing citrus plants imported from Florida two years ago werefected, and in their transplanting rise to the spread. It is probable that all the citrus trees on the big estate must be destroyed prevent the spread of the pest. It is greatly disappointed, as a collection of rare and valuable trees has been chief hobby, and those which he has Stockdale represent the selections lifetime. "It is a terrible thing," said Mr. Tevis, today. "Far eclipsing the Boulder Vista flood in danger, the white flies one of the worst pests known to human culturists. So far the valley has kept free from the insect, and now every effort will be to exterminate possible and to prevent its furious spread." Dairy Traffic Two carloads of milk are being shipped to Los Angeles daily from the tion along the electric railway of Buena Park. Milk is now bringing $1.40 per can, and the prices will jump to $1.75 about Sept. 1.

California's Future One of the most important hand-books that has been issued by the California Promotion committee is just from the press with the title, "Reasons for Investment in California." This booklet covers thoroughly all the various opportunities offered by California, giving a mass of data and statistics about conditions in all branches, together with a most interesting and valuable comparison with nine Eastern states, showing California’s future. Beginning with a description of the topographical features of the state, the handbook touches on climate, soil, harbors, rivers, raw materials, cheap fuel, leading up to productions of mines, forests, fields, orchards, agriculture and manufacturing; showing that while these are enormous the possibilities of the undeveloped state are something phenomenal when compared with what is now being done in the eastern states. What the state’s productions mean in a financial way is shown by bank deposits, harbor receipts, bank clearings, real estate sales, mortgages and releases, etc., all of which is tabulated in concrete form for ready and easy reference. The committee has entered upon a wide plan of distribution for these handbooks, and the co-operation of all the business men of the state is being enlisted for its distribution. It is small and goes in an ordinary business envelope without extra postage, and many Californians are buying large quantities and sending them broadcast County Brevite The Orange County Supervisor denied a request that an application be made to Sacramento pay the expenses of the Nationaligation Congress.

Casey, who made some study of conditions in Japan. He is on his way to his home in Auburn, N. Y., after finishing his tour of the world. He says that the war talk in Japan is confined to the politicians of the progressive party who are opposed to the present ministry. He continued: "There is no talk of war with this country among the great mass of the people or among the government officials and I believe the whole thing is confined to a political move on the part of a small coterie of Japanese politicians. Any reference to the government being forced to assume an inimical attitude toward this country by the power of popular opinion is sheer nonsense, "While Japan has a national diet, the suffrage is confined to about two per cent of the entire population, the others being disfranchised for lack of property qualifications. With 98 per cent of the people having no vote their opinion has little weight in shaping the policy of the government. "The present ministry is very friendly with the United States, and the Tuesday afternoon a meeting at Santa Ana River Development Co- held in this city and two new diaries were chosen. A S. Bradford, on centia, takes the place of L. P. on the board, and John Dunsen Tustin, takes the place of A. Minton.
