TOPICS OF FOREST POLICY Nine Thousand Acres in Southern California Planted to Eucalyptus by the Santa Fe Company for Future Supply of Cross Ties [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D.C., Aug. 29, 1907. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad has gone into tree growing in order to provide for its future supply of cross ties. The Santa Fe has adopted eucalyptus as the most suitable species for tie purposes, because of its rapid growth, great density and durability, and is now planting 700 acres in a ranch of 9000 acres in Southern California to eucalyptus seedlings, with the intention of repeating in this amount of acreage each succeeding year for a total of twelve years or more, when it will have planted several thousand acres. The seedlings—which are sprouted in boxes to the number of 100 to the box, and stored in "lath houses" until they are three or four inches high, at which time they are three or four months old—are set out in rows eight feet apart, at a distance in the rows of five feet. Their cultivation after that for three or four years is thorough, but simple enough, and includes their watering two or three times a year. There- old pine states—Michigan, sin and Minnesota—probably not exceed 20,000,000,000 feet per year the total cut of pine three states was but about 3,000 feet. At that rate the stock will be exhausted in six years. The original growth three states was approximately 000,000,000 feet. The greatest has been cut off since 1873.

The white pine of the practically has all been cut pine of New England and N was practically exhausted yet. Secretary Will of the A Forestry association, which influential supporter of the palachian-White Mountain reserve bill, has just returned a trip undertaken to get occidence of destruction compla in New Hampshire. With Forester Philip A employee of the society for protection of New Hampshire Mr. Will climbed Mt. La commanding a view of 25,000 cut over by a firm of lum known as "clean cutters."

Their cultivation after that for three or four years is thorough, but simple enough, and includes their watering two or three times a year. Thereafter the plants are expected to take care of themselves, although, in the course of time, they require thinning out, which is accomplished by cutting out every other one, so that they stand ten feet apart in the rows. The young saplings thus removed make excellent fence posts, and hence no loss befalls through their taking away. The remaining young trees, numbering about 550 to the acre, will, at the end of fifteen years of growth, each yield six ties, it is calculated, or some 3300 ties per acre. These ties will be cut from 700 acres of the big orchard each year, after fifteen years from the first planting, with the result of obtaining more than 2,500,000 ties per annum; and, seeing that the rate of removal will be exactly equal to the rate of planting, the same total acreage will, theoretically at least, maintain the same annual supply of ties to the end of time. The cost per cultivated tie is far and away below that of ties of the best quality, such as white oak, now bought on the market. Timber owners and manufacturers will be interested in the results of the detailed studies of commercial timber trees which the forest service of the United States department of agriculture is making. These studies are not confined exclusiveiy to the well-known trees of recognized value, but, owing to the rapid decrease in the supply of our valuable woods, include those cheaper woods whose properties are imperfectly known. Such studies of the tupelo gum and western hemlock have done commanding a view of 25,000 cut over by a firm of lumber known as "clean cutters." The process means, practically, skin ground. Taking everything into the lumberman leaves what no use for. And the residue dried in time, makes the best for fires which kill the growth and do incalculable in the soil itself, often going to the bare rock. It takes turey to renew it. The next day Mr. Will set off the Twin Mountain house, and through the Zealand valley, ing the Henry railroad trail. He beheld a once heavily area practically wrecked from tain to mountain. Fire has fled the axe-man, and merely bruised found where anything grew. Going up to Zealand Lake, the bottom of the valley's mountain summit, on the east one sees nothing but exposed and stumps of trees perched boulders, like skeletons disin in a graye yard. It is a "Vale Death." On the west side was claimed by lumbermen the day of "clean cutting," and taken what they left. It is not abode of blackened stumps.

These studies are not confined exclusive to the well-known trees of recognized value, but, owing to the rapid decrease in the supply of our valuable woods, include those cheaper woods whose properties are imperfectly known. Such studies of the tupelo gum and western hemlock have done much to overcome the common prejudice against these species and have added materially to their commercial importance. Commercial tree studies begin with the tree in the forest and follow it all the way to the finished product in the market. A large number of experienced forestry school men from Harvard and Yale universities are engaged in forestry work in Massachusetts under the direction of Professor Rane, state forester. The forestry department is said to be doing very satisfactory work and has been successful in many experiments. From the best available sources of information the standing pine of the southern states amounts to 200,000–000,000 feet. For the census year 1904 the total cut of yellow pine was 10,000,000,000 feet. In 1906 the total product according to statistical compilation was 11,500,000,000 feet. At the present rate of cutting the supply will have been exhausted long before a second crop can be available for commercial purposes.

Nickey Feel Worse'n Thirty Cents—Listen to all of This The esteemed Orange Post, having awakened to the fact that there was a discussion on several months ago for and against paved roads, saw the air wildly against the project. The Post was possessed of whatever you call a tube stare at the time the hair-pulling was at its most interesting points, but falls to in great shape, and belabors the scheme in a manner particularly delightful for to see. It proceeds to knock out what little breath remains in the almost lifeless corpse. At risk of being charged with going back into ancient history, we republish the following extract from the columns of its last issue. "Prof. Mills says they propose to build roads such as were built 2000 years ago and are good yet, and cites Rev. Wotten as his authority for the durability of such roads. Now the Post gave estimate on oil-made roads because they are the only kind that comes within the range of prices quoted by the good roads' advocates and also to show the absurdity of the claim that great and lasting roadwork can be gotten for little money, if the people would only vote the bonds. The fact remains that the character of the work will be largely determined by the amount of money to be put into it, and nothing can be gained by misrepresentations on this score. "As to the cost of the proposed improvement, the concern of the last classes of street work can be applied them fairly to outlined by the advocates both as to the narrow and way, and shown that suitable provements, desirable though are out of reach of the present county at the present would be a criminal waste of lic funds to force an election circumstances."

The fact remains that the character of the work will be largely determined by the amount of money to be put into it, and nothing can be gained by misrepresentations on this score. "As to the cost of the proposed improvement, the converse of the last proposition is true, that the cost will be commensurate with the character of the work. No exaggeration was intended in stating that, for oil-paving at 3¼ cents per square foot for a forty-foot roadway and gutters, the cost would be $7392 per mile, or with the contingencies added, nearly a million dollars for the 130 miles outlined by Prof. Mills, and that regular asphalt pavement with concrete base would cost at least five times that amount. A few weeks ago the board of public works of Los Angeles received and opened about 200 bids for asphalt paving, ranging from 18 to 23 cents per square foot. Suppose we apply the lowest bid, 18 cents, to our calculations and see where we will get off: A sixteen foot road way at that would cost $15,206.40 per mile, or $1,976,832 for the 130 miles, while a forty-foot roadway would cost $38,016 per mile, or $4,942,080 for the 130 miles. Los Angeles expected to get only 12 miles paved roads for $600,000, or at the rate of $50,000 per mile; hence the roadway must be more than forty feet wide. Take another example: Pasadena, becoming dissatisfied with the oil paving, let a $125,000 contract a few days ago for bitulithic paving at 25 cents per square foot. This is a kind of macadamizing with crushed rock imbedded in a bituminous preparation. Suppose we apply this rate of 25 cents per square foot to our calculations and see where we will land: A sixteen-foot roadway at that rate would cost $21,120 per mile, or $2,745,600 for the 130 miles, while a forty-foot roadway would cost $52,800 per mile, or $6,864,-000 for the 130 miles. One would think the limit of absurdity in planning good roads for the people had been reached with the foregoing; but no, Prof. Mills says they are going to build roads like those built in Europe.

One would think the limit of absurdity in planning good roads for the people had been reached with the foregoing; but no, Prof. Mills says they are going to build roads like those built in Europe over 2000 years ago, which Rev. Wotten affirms are good yet, and they will do this, too, for less than $6000 a mile if the people would only vote the bonds! From historical descriptions of these ancient roads, which were built out of large blocks of hard stone carefully fitted together upon a prepared foundation by slave labor, we believe they would cost not less than ten times that of the bitulithic paving, or $2.50 per square foot. At this price a sixteen foot roadway would cost $211,200 per mile or $27,456,000 for the 130 miles, while a forty foot roadway would cost $528,000 per mile, or $68,-640,000 for the 130 miles. "The advocates of bonding are between the horns of a dilemma, either they must confine their improvements to a few miles of narrow and poorly constructed roads, or else they must call for a large bond issue. Neither one of these conditions will satisfy enough of the voters to give any hope of carrying an election; hence the proponents of bonding have, consciously or unconsciously, drifted into misrepresentation by magnifying the quantity and quality of the work that could be done and minimizing the cost of doing the same.

Following the California and Oregon prosecutions, in which the government was eminently successful, the entire force of the government was turned on these states, with the result that when it shows its hand a startling line of evidence will be displayed. The investigation has already demonstrared that an enormous acreage of public land has passed unlawfully into the hands of individuals and corporations and that the coal supply of these states is now owned almost completely by three or four big corporations. The administration purposes trying to obtain jail sentences against those responsible for the frauds and by civil suits will endeavor to regain possession of the lands illegally taken. Denver, Colo., is the seat of the presen­t operations of the government forces at work on the alleged frauds, and it is learned here that for nearly two years 100 secret agents have worked from Denver in the states where the interior department has been led to suspect frauds. The work of these men has been re­warded by results far beyond their expectations and certainly beyond those of Washington officials, who have been surprised at the evidence dug up.
