Center St. - Anaheim, CA THE FORESTS OF CALIFORNIA INCREASING IN ALL DIRECTIONS DURING PAST TWO YEARS Report of State Forester Shows Enlarged Scope of Protecting Trees — What Counties of the South are Doing to Conserve Flood Waters We have been favored with the biennial report of State Forester Lull which gives interesting data relative to the work of preserving the forests of California. During the past two years the business of the state forester's office has increased beyond all expectations. Four years ago the state of California, with a forest area of 66,000,000 acres, had no state forester, and no clear idea as to what the business of forestry meant to accomplish. In July, 1905, by an act of the legislature, the state board of forestry was created, largely as an experimental measure. Its duties as outlined in the creating act were to conduct an educational campaign in forestry. Two years ago, says the report, the problem of protecting the forest from fire was indicated as the most important work before the state board of forestry. During the past two years, and particularly during the past summer, the need for more facilities to handle this great problem has been strongly emphasized. The boundaries of the national forests of California, administered by the forest service of the department of agriculture, include an area approximately 23,000,000 acres. They include however large areas of priv serve without any pay they have requested app firewardens to aid their protection of their own or others' interests. On appointment each furnished a badge, a letter and a book of several copies of the laws, a number of printed on cloth, and he is asked to submit each fire that he attends finite knowledge of.

He is in the need of making due violations committed to acquaintance with the structured to refrain, so able, from arousing fries same time it is made that careless or crime are to be prosecuted. He is asked to apply warning notices as he instructed to post them so that no one may quainted with the pro against the use of fire sion of this information still further by having printed in separate cit may be distributed to Each fire warden is as many copies as he vantageously. Having distributed so widely as the list shows, then at this time practical the state is ignorant laws. That the kno A NEW EUCALYPT Be a Superior Variety, Adopted to Desert Growth of a eucalyptus tree especially suited for growth on the desert seen brought to this country Australia by R. S. Webb of Los Angeles. He believes it will prove no boon to the interior regions water is scarce. Webb, who is a native of Auschwitz who has lived in California last twelve years, visited his land three months ago for the purpose of introducing here varieties of eucalyptus which he believes are superior to the blue gum and now grown here. New varieties which he most喜欢的 are the salmon gum, desert variety, and the blackbutt "salmon gum," said Mr. Webb, and growing 340 miles in the inland West Australia, in a region has only six inches of rainfall and even where there is a great amount of alkali. It attains a height feet, and is from three to four back alts is an excellent wood for hand railroads but it is not the fur furniture, although it takes polish. The desert it grows comparatively for a eucalypt, but if watered it is a very rapid grow obtained seeds from the government botanist in West Australia, so be sure of the variety and I do distribute them here, so as to the tree a trial in various blackbutt, or pilularis, is one best woods grown in Australia. We have a few of them growing near Monica; but they will do better from the ocean, along the coast, although in Australia they range of 1200 miles and grow great variety of climates and two years ago, says the report, the problem of protecting the forest from fire was indicated as the most important work before the state board of forestry. During the past two years, and particularly during the past summer, the need for more facilities to handle this great problem has been strongly emphasized. The boundaries of the national forests of California, administered by the forest service of the department of agriculture, include an area approximately 23,000,000 acres. They include, however, large areas of private land upon which the forest officers have jurisdiction in case of fire only through their appointments as fire wardens by the state. Hence, these areas may be considered as being under state protection. Outside the national forests the great mountainous area of the state, as well as the areas devoted to grazing and agriculture, are under state protection. The act creating the state board of forestry provides that the state forester may appoint fire wardens, who shall have power to arrest for violation of the sections prohibiting the use of fire, to grant or refuse burning permits during a dry season, without which burning is unlawful, and to compel the assistance of citizens in fighting fires. Under this act 721 fire wardens have been appointed. It is noted that 269 fire wardens are employed by the forest service. This number covers the forest officer whose appointments have been requested by the forester to enable them to handle violations of the forest laws of the state. Also, that 128 are employed by thirteen counties. This results from the fact that these counties have taken advantage of section 33½ of the county government act to appropriate money from the general fund of the counties to secure fire protection. Three hundred and thirty-two are volunteer fire wardens; these men quainted with the problem against the use of fire sion of this information still further by having printed in separate citations may be distributed to Each fire warden is as many copies as he vantageously.

So far, wild fires escape where they the permit were followed the permit would be formally guaranteed by the one who desires makes a voluntary appeal.

Each appointment each firewarden is issued a badge, a letter of instruction and a book of burning permits, special copies of the state forest a number of fire warnings issued on cloth, and blanks on which asked to submit a report on fire that he attends or has deknowledge of. The right use by the firewardens is material furnished results in effective educational campaign. A letter of instruction acquaints firewarden in a detailed way the action he should take in dealing any violator of the forest to trial. He is impressed with need of making due allowance for actions committed through lack of maintenance with the law and intended to refrain, so far as possified from arousing friction. At the time it is made plain to him careless or criminal violations to be prosecuted vigorously. He is asked to apply for as many being notices as he can use and instruct to post these conspicuous so that no one may remain unacquainted with the provisions of law must the use of fire. The extent of this information is carried further by having the forest laws used in separate circulars, which will be distributed to the public. Fire warden is furnished with many copies as he can place addageously. Having the wardens attributed so widely over the state, the list shows, the result is that this time practically no one in state is ignorant of the forest. That the knowledge of the erable authority upon the firewardens and it might reasonably be anticipated that when they are chosen largely at random that some would be appointed who would misuse their authority. I have taken great pains to select the firewardens carefully, and in practically all cases require them to have their application for appointment endorsed by one or two well known citizens who are acquainted with them. This system of selection has worked well. Very few cases have come up where the firewardens have misused their authority to the detriment of the forest work. From the fact that practically all the wardens have a business of their own to carry on it follows that they are not able to do much more than has been outlined. They are usually alert to extinguish fires as soon as they learn of their occurrence, and this doubtless prevents many fires from spreading to the extent they would if left unattended. But this does not operate to prevent fires, and therein lies the weakness of our present system. In addition to the material mentioned each firewarden is furnished with blanks on which he is request-ed to make reports of the fires that came within his notice. These reports are due at the end of each month, or at the time the fire occurs, in case it is a large one. The reports received during the past two years show that there have been 942 forest fires in California which burned over 394,496 acres and caused the death of two persons, besides a loss of $608,055.20 worth of property. Fourteen hundred and six burning permits were issued, and out of 45 prosecutions for violations of the forest laws, 32 conviction have followed, resulting in the collection with the provisions of law must the use of fire. The extent of this information is carried further by having the forest laws used in separate circulars, which will be distributed to the public. A fire warden is furnished with many copies as he can place adageously. Having the wardens distributed so widely over the state, the list shows, the result is that this time practically no one in the state is ignorant of the forest. That the knowledge of the has a deterrent effect upon those who might otherwise be careless is main. It is probable that many are prevented in this way. Each firewarden is furnished with many burning permits as he can. These are furnished in books training ten or twenty blank forms, which may be filled out quickly. The other used has varied greatly in current localities. Many firewardens have not used any; others have as many as 300 or 400 in a season. So far, we have had no escape where the provisions of a permit were followed, and that permit would be followed is practically guaranteed by the fact that one who desires to use fire does a voluntary application for the permit. He thus directs attention to operation, and could hardly eschew punishment if he failed to follow the regulations and through hislessness the fire escaped. The mining permit is a good way of immining upon the public the need using care with fires and has a great fire-preventive effect. With the warnings posted thickly, law circulars in the hands of the noble, the duties of the firewarden assist in holding himself ready to consider impartially requests for the mining permits. Each firewarden is furnished with a badge, which adds utility to his appointment and imposes the public with the authority bind him.

Fourteen hundred and six burning permits were issued, and out of 45 prosecutions for violations of the forest laws, 32 conviction have followed, resulting in the collection of $775 in fines. This amount has been or will be turned into the state treasury to the credit of the forestry fund. In addition three of those convicted have been sentenced to 10 days each in the county jail and one to five months in the county jail. ALASKAN EXPEDITION The University of California has recently issued, in its zoological series, a paper from the new California museum of vertebrate zoology describing the results of an expedition to Alaska in 1907, conducted by Miss Annie M. Alexander of Oakland. Joseph Grinnell, director of the museum, describes the birds found, including six new varieties. Edmund Heller, curator of mammals in the museum, describes the mammals, which include four new species. Out of these is a beaver, an animal not hitherto known to occur on the Alaskan islands. It is characterized by a rich dark brown fur, but its remote habitat, in the interior of an island some distance from the mainland, has protected it from the fur hunters. All of the specimens secured have been added to the collections in the newly established California museum of vertebrate zoology, also the gift of Miss Alexander. The collections in this museum are now being arranged and catalogued under the direction of Mr. Grinnell and soon will be opened to the public.
