LETTER FROM SACRAMENTO RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE DISCUSSED IN SENATE Upper House Appears Ready to Give People Relief from Corporation Extortion — Would Abolish Useless Bank Commission—Allen Bills Killed [Contributed to The Gazette] Sacramento, Feb. 16. More time was devoted to railroad matters in the senate the past week than to anything else. The week before the senate unanimously denounced the Pacific Mail steamship company and the railroad companies accused of controlling it to the hurt of the people. Having placed itself upon record in this matter, favorable consideration of other resolutions of a similar tenor was the logical outcome. The committee on federal relations reported favorably senate joint resolution No. 4 introduced January 8th by Senator Black, requesting California's representatives in Congress "to do their utmost to forward such legislation as may insure the establishment of a parcels post at rates not to exceed those accorded by American express companies to the foreigner, viz., 24 cents for packages up to eleven pounds." The preamble to this resolution recites that "it has been found possible for the American express companies to unite in giving to the British post office a flat rate of 24 cents on parcels up to eleven pounds for all distances between New York and San Francisco, thus proving the economic practicability of such desired parcels post." The committee on federal relations reported favorably the resolutions introduced the previous week by Senator Caminetti, referring to the recent advance in rates made by the transcontinental railway lines and the Wells Fargo express company and asking for a full investigation into the matter by the committee on federal relations. The committee recommended that the president of the senate appoint two members of the senate corporations, which is noted to be favorable to such as that proposed by Senator Wright; but the wishes of the resolution, reinforced by Senator Miller, prevailed that was left in the hands of the mittee on federal relations. The committee on corporationmitted twenty-six proposed amendments to the Stetson railroad bill. The most vital of amendments authorize the commission to provide for local demurrage and confer shipper or other interested perthority to bring suit against the roads direct for breaches of regulations of the commission. 32 of the original bill contain following provision: "The commission shall make reasonable and just rates of charge each railroad subject thereto use and transportation of loc empty cars on its road; and establish for each railroad, or railroads alike, reasonable rates the storing and handling of and for the use of cars not ed after forty-eight hours' not the consignee, not to include days." Opponents of this feature bill maintained that while the commissioners power to demurrage penalties for the rate it was not reciprocal, as no person had been made for the shipping meet this objection the commission recommended the following superscript: "The commission shall p and enforce reaso nable orders and regulations for the furiof suitable cars to any and sons applying therefor for the portation of all kinds of freecarload lots of which the rail transportation company to wh application is made is a commerlier; the time within which th shall be furnished; the mahthe application therefor; they for the loading and unloadingof; for demurrage and recipru murrage; and, generally, suc and regulations as may be oo to require reasonable prompt furnishing cars to be loaded sons making application therefor the loading thereof by ap therefor, and the unloading consignee and the reasonably transportation thereof." The committee on federal relations reported favorably the resolutions introduced the previous week by Senator Caminetti, referring to the recent advance in rates made by the transcontinental railway lines and the Wells Fargo express company and asking for a full investigation into the matter by the committee on federal relations. The committee recommended that the president of the senate appoint two members of the senate to act with the committee. The report of the committee was adopted, with but one negative vote—Senator Wright. The absentees were Senators Boynton, Reilly, Rush and Stetson. When the report was submitted Senator Wolfe questioned its expediency on the ground that it was too late to begin so extensive an investigation. Senator Curtin expressed a belief that the express companies, at least, could be regulated through the operation of the proposed new system of taxation to be submitted to the voters of the state. Senator Burnett took the ground that the commercial interests of the state desire enlightenment upon the railroad and express situation. Senator Cartwright introduced senate joint resolution No. 16, instructing the attorney general of the state to bring suit against all railway and other corporations transacting business as interstate common carriers between the state of California and other states where such carrier has been a party to or has participated in an advance in freight rates since January 1, 1909. Senators Wright and Wolfe endeavored to have the resolution referred to the committee. "I purchased a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and immediately commenced to improve. In all, I think I took 14 bottles, and my weight increased from 133 pounds to 184 pounds in less than six months. I know from personal results the efficacy of Scott's Emulsion." —FRED. R.

He had a trying experience, had got run down application is made is a commander; the time within which this shall be furnished; the man the application therefor; they for the loading and unloading of; for demurrage and reciprocity; and, generally, such regulations as may be required reasonable prompt furnishing cars to be loaded sons making application thereafter the loading thereof by therefor, and the unloading consignee and the reasonably transportation thereof." Senate concurrent resolution introduced by Senator Wright providing that seven members of senate, seven members of the bly, the governor, the lieutenant governor, the president protector senate, the speaker and the pro tem of the assembly, the tary of the senate and the sat-arms of the senate (twenty-sons in all) shall represent the California at the opening Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expositions Seattle, Washington, and may appropriation of five thousand or as much thereof as may be sary, was adopted.

Let us send you a copy of Mr. Strongman's letter. He had a trying experience, had got run down Scott's Emulsion built him up, as it has thousands of others. The strengthening and flesh-producing properties of Scott's Emulsion, are unequalled by any other preparation, and it's just as good for the thin, delicate child as for the adult. Be sure to get Scott's. It's been the standard of the world for 35 years, and is worth many times the cost of the numerous imitations and substitutes.

FORESTRY IN CALIFORNIA A bibliography of forestry in California issued by the state bureau of forestry brings together such books, official reports and articles in periodicals as may appear serviceable to the forester or the non-professional student. It does not include the exceedingly large amount of popular writing designed to further the adoption of protective measures, nor descriptive matter of primarily a literary character. Even in its chosen field it does not pretend to be exhaustive. Important data and discussions, especially in dendrology and forest description, will be found scattered through innumerable botanical, geological and other scientific books and periodicals. To gather them would involve an amount of labor quite disproportionate to the harvest thus to be collected. There are a number of periodicals quite indispensable to the student of California forestry, which have not been analyzed because they are provided with such excellent indices, that their California articles may be readily found.
