This investigation, which is under the general direction of T. Wayland Vaughan, includes not only an examination of the geologic conditions and structure that make artesian wells possible in this area, but also determinations of the quality and distribution of the waters and of their adaptability for use for boilers, manufacturing, irrigation and also drinking. This work is being carried on in cooperation with state surveys in nearly all the coastal-plain states from New Jersey to Texas. The work in Texas is conducted by Alexander Deussen of the geological department of the university of Texas, at Austin. The citizens of Texas who are interested in the economic development of the state can be of great service in this connection by sending to Mr. Deussen such data as may be in their possession concerning well logs, analysis of water, and the location, depth, capacity, and quality of wells, and also by furnishing samples of rocks and fossils (shells) taken from wells. Reports on investigations in Texas will be issued from time to time until the entire coastal plain of the state has been covered. The area east of Brazos river was the first to receive attention, and surveys are now in progress in the area between the Brazos and the Colorado. The report that will perhaps be of greatest economic value and interest to the citizens of the state will be that dealing with the artesian waters of southwestern Texas—that portion of Texas in which, by reason of its arid climate, artesian water is urgently needed for use in irrigation. The publication of these results should be a great stimulus to immigration and settlement in this new farming district. This work will be undertaken as soon as the other studies have been completed. The results of the investigations east of the Brazos will be outlined in a paper that will soon go to press entitled "The geology and ground waters of the coastal plain of Texas east of Brazos river." This report will deal particularly with water conditions but will also form an important contribution to the geology of the district. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING During the summer of 1907 the United States geological survey undertook the topographic mapping of the southwestern side of the San Joaquin Valley. Washington, Jan. 29.—Uncle S. national forests yielded an increase of 102 per cent in timber last year over the record for 1907, giving turns of $849,027.24 to the government. Twenty-five per cent of amount went back to the state which the forests are located in of taxes, in accordance with the visions of the law. This revenue be added to the state's fund for support and maintenance of road public schools. The amount of timber cut from the national forests was 392,759 feet, board measure, as against 872,000 feet in the previous figure for 1908 does not incl the 131,482,000 feet given away settlers, schools and churches "free-use" permits. This increase 102 percent shows a far better and increasing productiveness of forest under conservative method cutting. There was a marked increase in small sales last year, resulting an increase of 236 per cent in number of sales, notwithstanding fact that the timber contracted was far less in the aggregate in 1907. In making timber sales the service seeks small in preferential large sales, and aims to safeguard supply for future needs rather than to swell the immediate receipts. It desired, the present receipts timber sales could be quickly led. During the year it was necessary in the interest of a financed supply to restrict sale many forests. Nevertheless, using the national forests as a source timber supply was more generally ever before. The total receipts from timber sales each year have been as follows: 1905, $60,136.62; 1906, $245,013.40; 1908, $668,813.12; 1908, $849,027.24. Payment for timber is always quired in advance. In large however, and in small sales or easion, payment is made in increments so arranged as to protect government against loss without posing unnecessarily severe burdens upon the purchaser. Thus theceipts of each year represent substantially, but not exactly, the value the timber sold and removed due that year. CHURCH NOTES At the Methodist church next bath 11 a.m., Feb. 7.

The map will be issued in two sections, one covering the territory from Coalinga to Dudley, Kings county, and the other embracing the remainder of the region south to the Sunset district. A few photo-lithographic advance sheets of both sections have been distributed at advantageous points, such as the postoffices and offices of the larger oil companies and ranches throughout the district, where they may be consulted by the public. On these maps the position and shape of the hills and valleys are shown by contour lines, each of which represents a certain elevation above the sea level, and the streams, roads houses and section and county lines are shown by conventional signs. The contour interval is 100 feet and the scale of the map is approximately two miles to the inch. Topographic mapping similar to that done in the region from Coalinga to Sunset is now being carried to the north from Coalinga to connect with the areas shown on maps already issued covering the vicinity of San Francisco bay. This new map will probably form the basis for geological work similar in character to that done in the Coalinga-Sunset territory. You will always find price ht at Duckworth & Short's.

Dunn as damages from the Surf Land and Water company for the loss of crops planted on land adjoining the Surf Gun club preserve, it being claimed by Smith and Dunn that the failure of the crops was due to the percolation from the duck ponds made on the gun club grounds. Suit for damages was begun in the superior court Thursday, Attorneys R. Y. Williams and H. G. Ames representing the plaintiffs. Smith and Dunn on Nov. 15, 1907, leased forty-seven acres from John Borchard, the rental to be one-fourth of the crop. In 1907, says the complaint, the farmers worked thirty days plowing and planting. Artesian wells were put down by the Surf gun club and the ponds were kept filled during the winter. The ground being porous, the adjoining land was kept so damp that it was late before grain could be planted. It was so late that the crop was not good. The estimated damage to the crop that year was $600. The loss of beets planted that year is placed at $250. Another crop of beets, planted on twenty-seven acres of the land, was subirrigated and a poor crop resulted, the loss being put at $2000. The total judgment asked is $2850. The defendants named in the complaint are the Surf land and water company, J. A. Anderson, E. W. Murphy, Frank H. Edwards, Edward F. Wehrle, E. S. Pillsbury, C. L. Loud and the Surf gun club, the men whose names appear being directors of the club. At the request of the farmers this land was viewed by W. T. Newland when he was chairman of the grand jury in December.

The committee agreed to recommend to congress that the secretary of the interior be allowed to retrace or resurvey any land he wishes to without requiring in every case the especial permission of congress. Congressman Smith was interested in this action because he has been desirous of hastening development of that region, which is at present in much the same condition as was Imperial valley prior to its resurvey—that is, without any official stakes. Before that country can be irrigated and settled it must be resurveyed, and now Smith will try to have the interior department make a resurvey of that piece of country, or at least the parts of it which are susceptible of irrigation. For such work, the only trouble in the past has been over the construc-tion of the law. LITTEN & HILL City Livery Stables Fashionable Outfits at Reasonable Rates.
