EUCALYPTUS FOR REVENUE HAS BECOME FIXED INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA Climate Conditions Give this State Monopoly — Forest Product Should Be Protected—State Forester Advises Measures to Prevent Fires State Forester G. B. Lull sends to The Gazette a report of his work for the past year, from which the following interesting items and valuable suggestions are taken: Two years ago I was not able to show that much had been accomplished in the line of technical forestry, but in December, 1907, as a result of the co-operative work in forestry between the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture and the state of California, the state board of forestry issued Circular No. 2, "A Handbook for Eucalyptus Planters." This circular called attention to the yield from eucalyptus grown in California. It emphasized the fact that eucalyptus grows fully five times as fast as any other hardwood tree, and gave full instructions as to the methods of propagating these trees. As a result twenty-three companies have been incorporated in the state since that time, for the purpose of dealing in eucalyptus lands and the products from eucalyptus plantations. In addition, fifteen companies engaged in the sale of real estate have turned their attention to eucalyptus, so that at the present time thirty-eight companies in California are devoting all or the greater part of their energy to the propagation of this genus. A great number of land-industry we should have more so that we could take time to be thoroughly familiar with the situations on each tract, and thus the probability of any mistake. Furthermore, we have not been able to meet all the demands upon us for land examinations; the present time there are three examinations pending which have on file for several months, so for shorter periods. One of is aimed to improve the slope Mount Hamilton and thus better conditions for making observations. It appears from the letter of the rector of the Lick Observatory requested an examination on July 1908, that the uncovered soil rocks become too highly heated by the sun's radiations and, remain heated for a considerable time dark, cause currents of heated ascend. The opinion of the more than full men in California and in the United States is favorable to the enactment of a law conferring upon the state board of forestry the power examine all private forest holdings on the watersheds of irrigable ers and streams, and to designate enforce such rules for cutting its judgment will secure the quality of said forests and prevent injury to said streams. It is unified that the state will face necessity of taking action in this direction ultimately and it would pear that it is better to commence before the watersheds of the area have suffered irreparable damage careless lumbering operations. Need for this arises from the that under the present method logging in our pine forests, where the trees are approximately even ed, practically all the merchant have been incorporated in the state since that time, for the purpose of dealing in eucalyptus lands and the products from eucalyptus plantations. In addition, fifteen companies engaged in the sale of real estate have turned their attention to eucalyptus, so that at the present time thirty-eight companies in California are devoting all or the greater part of their energy to the propagation of this genus. A great number of landowners have commenced the propagation of eucalyptus on their own account. From present indications it seems safe to predict that the growing of eucalyptus for revenue has become a fixed industry in the state. The majority of the companies are operating on a large scale, many of them owning from 1000 to 5000, or even 10,000 acres of land. The general plan is to secure the land and plant the seedlings when they are from six to eight inches in height, cultivate and irrigate them until they are two years old, after which time, if the land and species have been properly selected, there is no need of further attention being given, except to see that they are protected from fire. The prospect of securing very large returns with a minimum of care seems to appeal very strongly to investors in this and other states, as well as in other countries. This industry has attracted many people to California, and is proving an alluring investment for many who reside in other states. It seems possible to predict that on the maturity of the plantations now being started there will be attracted to California the large vehicle and furniture manufacturing plants that have contributed so largely to the prosperity of the hardwood states of the east. The fact that eucalyptus will not withstand severe frosts confines its propagation to the temperate portions of California, and thus gives to this state a practical monopoly upon the hardwood supplies of the future. It does not seem possible to estimate what this industry may mean to this state. Certainly it will result in the immediate conversion of large areas of land that are now producing low necessity of taking action in the direction ultimately and it would appear that it is better to commence before the watersheds of the area have suffered irreparable damage careless lumbering operations. Need for this arises from the that under the present method logging in our pine forests, where the trees are approximately evened, practically all the merchant species are removed leaving assistant trees for the second crop of minor species worthless for market poses. Moreover, the logging operations in many cases are conducted such a careless manner as debris that after the removal of timber the area is easily susceptible of visitation by forest fires follow, as they usually do few trees of inferior kinds that left are killed and the site is occupied by chaparral to the version of forest species. This happened so frequently that chaparral has come to be regarded as successor of the forest. Statistics show that between years 1899 and 1904 the timber of California increased 83.7 per cent. This is a greater increase than any other state except Washington and Oregon, where the percentages were 212.5 per cent and 118.6 percent respectively. These percentages show in an alarming way the vern movement of the lumber industry for virgin supplies. There can no doubt that the forest area of California, upon which the irrigation of valleys and the control of streams depends so vitally, will not be able to withstand the onslaughts of more years at the increasing rate of ting. If the contention that some ion will be required of the state ultimately to protect her forest reserves be true, it would appear no better to take the step now because any greater injury results. It will not appear that the regulation cutting would cause serious harm to the owners of timber lands. A general way it would mean that state would demand that where area was lumbered that sufficient trees of the more valuable spice... The fact that eucalyptus will not withstand severe frosts confines its propagation to the temperate portions of California, and thus gives to this state a practical monopoly upon the hardwood supplies of the future. It does not seem possible to estimate what this industry may mean to this state. Certainly it will result in the immediate conversion of large areas of land that are now producing low returns into properties yielding a very high revenue. It may mean eventually that the eucalyptus industry will be even a more fruitful source of revenue to the state of California than the orange inudstry has been. Section 4 of the state forest law provides that the state forester shall upon request, make an examination of land to determine its adaptability to tree growth, and shall prepare plans for the planting of tracts. Under this section we have examined 39,860 acres of land since May 1907. On account of our small office force it has been impossible to make as careful examinations as the circumstances warranted. Moreover, it has been impossible to find time to prepare detailed plans for planting. The best we have been able to do was to make hurried field examinations and report the results by letter. This has been unsatisfactory, for the reason that in many cases these lands have been sold to parties who have never seen them and who have depended on the report of this office in their purchases. If we accept the responsibility which devolves upon us in the starting of this ion will be required of the state ultimately to protect her forest reserves be true, it would appear no better to take the step now because any greater injury results. It will not appear that the regulation cutting would cause serious harm to the owners of timber lands. A general way it would mean that state would demand that when area was lumbered that sufficient trees of the more valuable spruce be left to re-seed the area; that limbs, tops and unused portion of the trunks of the trees be piled burned or removed so that the end crop would not be menaced their presence. The difference between present methods and which a law of this kind would quire are not great enough to finish markedly the lumber cut out area, nor would the expense ened by destroying the debris be sufficient to make a serious inroad the profits. But it would mean no for the future of the area lumbered in that the prospects would favor reproduction of a valuable thereon. It may be argued that when timber supplies of California are haunted that substitutes for wood be found or that wood supplies be imported from other sections granting, for the sake of argument that these things might be there still remains the great answerable argument that the wav conditions of California require the mountains be covered with est growth. Water for domestic and irrigation use must be obtai should have more men, should take time to become familiar with the condition tract, and thus reduce any mistake. we have not been at all the demands made in land examinations. At time there are three extending which have been several months, several periods. One of these improve the slopes ofleton and thus better the for making observations. From the letter of the diary Lick Observatory, who examination on June 30, the uncovered soil and too highly heated by radiations and, remaining considerable time after currents of heated air to form of the more thoughtful California and in the Unfavorable to the enactment conferring upon the forestry the power to private forest holdings sheds of irrigable rivals, and to designate and rules for cutting as in will secure the continine forests and prevent instreams. It is unquestioned state will face the making action in this district and it would apis better to commence watersheds of the state irreparable damage by watering operations. The arises from the fact the present methods of our pine forests, where approximately even-again all the merchantable at home. Whether or not this is looked at from the standpoint of the agriculturist or from the power-producing standpoint, certain it is that the future of California depends vitally upon the condition of the forests on her mountain slopes. IROQUOIS STORY OF CREATION A recent bulletin of the New York state museum publishes some interesting myths of the Iroquois Indians, whose reservation is in that state. First among which is the account of creation: When the official story-teller of the settlement finds an audience or wishes to call one he exclaims, "Hanio!" whereupon the audience reply "Hey," an ardent request to proceed. From time to time during the recital they should also cry, "Hah," otherwise the narrator will stop and ask what is the matter with his story. To fall asleep is not only a breach of etiquette on the part of a listener, but an omen of evil to the guilty one. If one must sleep he should ask that the story be "tied," then he can hear the rest when he wakes up; otherwise the story must be told each time from the beginning clear through to the end. According to their story of the creation, the Indian ruler of a great island which floats in space sent Ata-en-sic, the Sky Woman, to take life and light to the cloud sea down below. The light enveloping her alarmed the birds and animals down there. "Where can it rest?" asked the duck. "Only the oelida (earth) can hold it," said the beaver, "the oelida which lives at the bottom of our waters. I will bring some." But the beaver was drowned and so GRAZING ALLOTMENTS Increased Area Devoted to industry in California San Francisco, March 5.-increases have been made grazing allotments on the Forests of California for this year. At the request of the service, the secretary of agriculture authorized the grazing season of 1909 of approx. 207,855 cattle and horses, 100 and 430,500 sheep and goats; the national forests of California authorization for the season about 185,000 cattle and horses hogs and 426,137 sheep and goats. The actual number grazed during season of 1908 was approximately 900 cattle and horses, 2,584 and 379,193 sheep and goats. Graze the recent additions of the nisia, Shasta, Modoc, Tahoe and veland forests will be allowing the season of 1909 without and without permit. Although climatic conditions very unfavorable last season ranges throughout the district;ried the usual number of days through the season without injury. This is due to an effect of the part of the forest service strict the number of stock alarms graze on the national forests capacity of the range under conditions in an average ye means that in very good year will be a surplus of feed least a reasonable amount of reseeding so that in unfavorious sons the ranges will carry tha number of stock through its condition and without injury forest. On the whole she are heartily in favor of these regulations and sentiment. making action in this ditately and it would appis better to commence watersheds of the state irreparable damage by watering operations. The arises from the fact the present methods of our pine forests, where approximately even-aggain all the merchantable removed leaving as parte of the second crop inferralthless for market purver, the logging operacases are conducted in less manner as regards after the removal of the area is easily susception by forest fires. If as they usually do, the inferior kinds that are and the site is soon shaparral to the exclutest species. This has frequently that chaparto be regarded as the forest. Now that between the end 1904 the timber cut increased 83.7 per cent, water increase than that state except Washington, where the percent55 per cent and 118 perply. These percentages arming way the westof the lumber indussupplies. There can be the forest area of Calith the irrigation of the the control of streams totally, will not be able the onslaughts of many increasing rate of cut ention that some actquired of the state ulprotect her forest resourt would appear much the step now before jury results. It would that the regulation of cause serious hardship of timber lands. In it would mean that the demand that when an membered that sufficient more valuable species Sky Woman, to take life and light to the cloud sea down below. The light enveloping her alarmed the birds and animals down there. "Where can it rest?" asked the duck. "Only the oelida (earth) can hold it," said the beaver, "the oelida which lives at the bottom of our waters. I will bring some." But the beaver was drowned and so was the duck, as well as many others who tried. At last the muskrat succeeded in bringing up a little of the earth in his paw. "It is heavy," he said, "and will grow fast. Who will bear it?" The turtle offered to bear it and so became the earth bearer. Whenever he stirs the sea rises in great waves and when he is restless the earthquakes yawn and devour. Having prepared a place for her they brought down Ata-en-sic to the turtle's back and she gave birth to twin sons, Spirit of Good and Spirit of Evil. At the birth of Hah-gweh-di-yu (Spirit of Good) his Sky Mother died, and grieving over her death, he created the sun from her face and placed it in the sky. "You shall rule here where your face will shine forever," he said. But his evil twin put Darkness in the west to drive the sun down behind it. Thereupon Hah-gweh-di-yu drew forth the moon and the stars from the breast of his mother and led them to the sun as his sisters who would guard the night sky. To the earth he gave his Sky Mother's body and from it springs all life. The brothers at last fought a duel with the thorns of the giant crabapple tree, and Hah-gweh-di-yu was victor and banished his wicked brother to a pit under the earth, whence he cannot return; but he carries on his destructive work through Sevors, half beast and half human, who assumes any form he commands. According to the myths of the constellation, the Pleiades are a group of brothers dancing in obedience to the chanting of the sky witches. Their ceaseless dancing set the stars whirling till the moon transformed capacity of the range under conditions in an average year means that in very good year will be a surplus of feed least a reasonable amount of reseeding so that in unfavorous sons the ranges will carry the number of stock through its condition and without injury forest. On the whole she are heartily in favor of these regulations and sentiment stronger as local difficulties justed. The fees charged on al forests are about one-half those charged on private road lands and less than one on an average of those charges Indian reservations.

Sometimes a soul will stray from its path, but its star always searches for it and returns it to its proper course. In the Great Bear the Iroquois find three hunters and their faithful dog, Flyeh, who while pursuing an elusive bear were caught in an invisible net and made to roam the broad skies forever. The myth of the celestial bear chase is one of the most widely distributed in America, and while at first it may seem remarkable that to both the white man and the red man this constellation suggested a bear, yet as the editor of the bulletin explains in a footnote, it merely shows that to human minds in the same cultural stage, though separated by space and time, the same factors suggest the same ideas or combination of ideas.—N.

The season for the season 1908 was 3000 cattle and horses, 6700 sheep and goats. A number grazed during the season was approximately 174, and horses, 2,584 hogs, and sheep and goats. Grazing on additions of the California, Modoc, Tahoe and Clemsons will be allowed during season of 1909 without fee out permit. Climatic conditions were favorable last season throughout the district carrion number of stock all the season without serious calls is due to an effort on the forest service to re-number of stock allowed to the national forests to the range under normal in an average year.
