CULTURE OF EUCALYPTUS Forests Devastated by Fire and Axe Must Be Replanted A timely warning is given in the April number of American Forestry in connection with the growing of that wonderful, but much exploited tree—the eucalyptus. This magazine promises some authoritative articles on the subject in the near future. Information from so good a source will be of great value to those who are practically or theoretically interested in the culture of eucalyptus. Filibert Roth, professor of forestry in the University of Michigan and forest warden of his state, gives these reasons for acquisition of national forests in the Southern Appalachian and White mountains: 1. All the lands of these mountains are in private hands and the forests are cut by man and devastated by fires as fast as the owners find it practicable and profitable to do so. 2. This devastation of our forests in the eastern United States has converted millions of acres of forest into unsightly and unused waste lands; it has ruined whole countries in the level districts of the Lake region; it has ruined entire mountain ridges in Pennsylvania; it has ruined thousands of acres of the very mountains under consideration and is today extending clear up to timber line in that most famous of all our mountain tracts, the Presidential Range, stretching its hideous hand of pillage and destruction up the slopes of Mts. Madison, Jefferson and Washington, the grand old domes, dear to millions of our people. Some artificial reservoirs, no doubt, will be built in time. An extensive set of such reservoirs would mean displacement of railways, highways, farm homes, etc., it would mean the making of lakes out of the very bottom lands which today are the only lands on which farming is successful and permanent. Such reservoirs would mean the building of many dams and bring with them the dangers of flood catastrophies. And in the end all reservoirs would certainly fill up with mud unless the entire system is safeguarded by a forest cover on the mountains. 12. The forest cover is not taking lands which should be used for other purposes; and does not prevent such use at any future time. Though among the oldest settled regions of the country, not five per cent of the real mountain lands are used agriculturally. Wherever farming is successful, it is in the valleys on good bottom and bench lands which would never be disturbed by the enterprise requested. These mountain forests are valuable in many other ways—they produce timber, they serve as place of recreation to thousands of people, and they are worth millions for their beauty alone, but since congress believes itself bound by the constitution to consider the matter from the standpoint of stream regulation, the above reasons are the ones emphasized in support of the "Weeks Bill." NON-TIMBERED LANDS Why They Have Been Eliminated from National Forests it has ruined whole countries in the level districts of the Lake region; it has ruined entire mountain ridges in Pennsylvania; it has ruined thousands of acres of the very mountains under consideration and is today extending clear up to timber line in that most famous of all our mountain tracts, the Presidential Range, stretching its hideous hand of pillage and destruction up the slopes of Mts. Madison, Jefferson and Washington, the grand old domes, dear to millions of our people. 3. Unless the government interferes, this devastation will continue with increasing rapidity and will be but few years when practically all of these mountain lands will be denuded of their protective forest cover. 4. This denudation of the mountains in many places has resulted in a complete removal of all soil, laying bare the solid rock and thus preventing all future forest growth. In other places thousands of acres have been washed into unsightly and useless gully lands, and throughout the mountains and over thousands of acres, all intermediate stages of erosion, deterioration and destruction can be seen. 5. This erosion and gullying has produced natural paths for the water and during every rain or thaw the waters rush down through these channels and thus leave the ground and the mountains far more rapidly than they would if these innumerable gullies, runs, or natural ditches did not exist. Man, in other words, is causing the natural digging of drains on land where no sane man would wish to have a drain, but where common sense would indicate the necessity of creating every possible obstacle and every means which would keep the waters from gathering into runs and from rushing into the streams and out of the mountains. 6. The faster the waters collect and rush down the slopes, the more they erode the land and the more powerful they are to carry away the soil, so that this evil is one which not only continues but is getting worse the longer it lasts. 7. The earth which is thus washed out in the creation of these gullies and in the removal of soils from the slopes is rushed into the streams and sooner or later finds its way into the navigable parts of the rivers below, where every inch of depth of water is precious. 8. With the forests and other obstacles removed and with innumerable ruts, gullies and runs facilitating its speedy run-off, the waters rush NON-TIMBERED LANDS Why They Have Been Eliminated from National Forests Washington, D. C., April 29.—The protests which have been received in considerable number by the U.S. department of agriculture against eliminating from national forests nontimbered lands chiefly valuable for grazing are regarded by Secretary Wilson as indicating that many communities fail to realize the limitations within which the department must act in carrying out faithfully the intent of existing laws. Most of the protests set forth the injury which it is feared may result from unregulated grazing on the land to be eliminated. Since, however, the lands which it is proposed to eliminate are neither forested now nor regarded as suitable for the future growing of trees, the government has no authority to hold them as parts of the national forests after their actual character has been determined. The policy to be pursued with regard to such lands was recently agreed upon the secretary of agriculture and the secretary of the interior jointly and laid before the president, who gave it his approval. This policy is not an innovation but is the same policy which has always been applied by the forest service in deciding where national forest boundaries should be drawn. The reason why lands formerly included in national forests are now being eliminated is to be found not in a change of policy, but in the fact that the actual conditions were ascertained last year, for the first time, through careful boundary examinations. The evils feared by those who are now making protest against the exclusion of the lands in question are usually of two kinds. In many places residents find themselves likely to suffer from an invasion of the range by outsiders. If the grazing is uncontrolled, transient stock may not only eat up the forage but also deplete the range through overgrazing, to the loss and even the eventual ruin of the local stock owners. Although Secretary Wilson recognizes this may be the case, he has pointed 7. The earth which is thus washed out in the creation of these gullies and in the removal of soils from the slopes is rushed into the streams and sooner or later finds its way into the navigable parts of the rivers below, where every inch of depth of water is precious. 8. With the forests and other obstacles removed and with innumerable ruts, gullies and runs facilitating its speedy run-off, the waters rush from the mountains much faster and therefore have less time to soak into the earth. But in times of little or no rain, the streams depend for their supply largely, often entirely, on water which has been stored in the soil and which slowly, but steadily, seeps out to feed the streams. The rushing off of the waters on the surface and in the drains and runs reduces the storage of water and this means less water during low water times; it means less water in the rivers, at the very time when most needed. 9. The forests of these mountains have been and should be a great and permanent condition covering eighty-five to ninety per cent of all the mountain area. This is the natural condition; its establishment and maintenance therefore are not matters of costly construction and doubtful utility like artificial reservoirs. It grows of its own accord, and all it asks is that man shall not wilfully destroy it. 10. The establishment and maintenance of a forest cover on these mountains will not be a great expense to the people. The forests on these mountains, in due time, will be self supporting and will amply pay back such capital as is put into the purchase of the lands. 11. This forest cover is the only regulator which man can maintain in these mountains, which is assuredly feasible, practicable, and permanent. now making protest against the exclusion of the lands in question are usually of two kinds. In many places residents find themselves likely to suffer from an invasion of the range by outsiders. If the grazing is uncontrolled, transient stock may not only eat up the forage but also deplete the range through overgrazing, to the loss and even the eventual ruin of the local stock owners. Although Secretary Wilson recognizes this may be the case, he has pointed out to those who make this argument that government control of lands valuable only for grazing was not contemplated by the laws authorizing the creation of national forests, except as far as is necessary to secure practical administrative boundaries. Another ground of protest against the eliminations is that administration by the department of agriculture has already resulted in great improvement to the water flow, or that unregulated grazing will result in polluted streams or serious damage to watersheds. In some cases the increase in water supply which has followed national forest administration is put as high as 25 per cent. To those who make this point Secretary Wilson is replying that every effort has been made to safeguard water supplies; that the eliminations proposed are only along the borders of the forests, and the protection of water flow is recognized as a legitimate reason for retaining brushland even though it is not likely ever to grow timber of commercial value. It is not denied that in some cases the elimination of purely grazing lands may possibly result in a certain amount of stream pollution, but the department of agriculture holds it has no authority to try to prevent this through national forest administration of such lands. In the main it is believed that the interests of water-users have been well cared for in making the eliminations. ANAHEIM GAZETTE KNIGHTS ENCAMPMENT ATTRACTS MANY Continued from Page 1 vision for their care and housing elsewhere. This camp is being held in the same city and at the same period of time that our grand lodge is in session. In the past the grand lodge has been very considerate of our desires and claims and has never faltered, nor objected, when requested to make allowances for the furtherance of the objects of the uniform rank. Therefore, this occasion should be taken advantage of to indicate our appreciation of the many courtesies we have received from the grand lodge and give practical demonstration that we have deserved the consideration of that body. By command of Brig.-Gen. J., A. Driffill, commanding California Brigade, U.R.K. of P. H. Schaffner, Col. and B.M.O. and A.A.A.G. The Boosters will call the attention of the encampment to the fact that Anaheim is situated 27 miles south of Los Angeles, and is reached by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads; about twenty trains a day stopping at Anaheim. It is one of the most famous communities in the state, and one of the oldest, having been founded in 1858. It is situated in the midst of the richest and most profitable orange, lemon and walnut district in the state, and is now the most progressive and prosperous city. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS J. C.

It is one of the most famous communities in the state, and one of the oldest, having been founded in 1858. It is situated in the midst of the richest and most profitable orange, lemon and walnut district in the state, and is now the most progressive and prosperous city in Southern California. During the past few years it has made a most marvelous growth. In the early days, so contented and prosperous were our people that it was difficult to persuade them to subdivide their holdings and sell their lands so as to give newcomers an opportunity to acquire homes and fruit farms. But this policy of exclusiveness is now a thing of the past, and all who come to Anaheim are now heartily welcomed. Its chamber of commerce will send instructive literature to all who apply. The climate of Anaheim is irreproachable; its church and school facilities are unsurpassed, and the Knights of Pythias lodge, organized on Dec. 31, 1909, already numbers nearly 500 members, and it has a membership of about 200 in the uniform rank A K. of P. band of 35 pieces is a notable adjunct. Anaheim lodge, No. 105, extends a cordial invitation to all Knights to visit Anaheim and the lodge, which has its regular meetings every Wednesday evening. Visitors will be greeted with knightly courtesy, and every effort will be made to render their stay one of interest and pleasure. The following members of the Pythian band will accompany the excursion: H. W. Shrieber, leader; Chas. E. Ruddock, Milo French, Warren Bradford, J. M.

DAVIS Announces himself as a candidate for DISTRICT ATTORNEY OPEN TO ENTRY Three applications, two of which have been allowed, and the third suspended for further investigation, have been made at the Sacramento United States land office, for homestead entries on land which has for more than fifty years been included in the great Stanford vineyard, at Vina, Tehama county. Two eighty-acre tracts in the heart of the large holding, which formerly belonged to the late Leland Stanford, and is now a part of the Stanford estate and the property of the Leland Stanford, Jr., University, has been ruled by the land office authorities as being open to entry, and not a part of the ranch of many thousand acres. Records in the land office show that the entire tract was surveyed for the government on July 21, 1859, and the boundary of the tract is fixed by the lines run at that time by the government surveyors. The land sought by the three entrymen consists of seven forty-acre tracts lying north and south of the edge of the fertile farming land, known as the Stanford grant. These seven tracts have always been looked upon as being a part of the Stanford holdings, and indeed the land itself is cut by an irrigation canal used by the great vineyard, and all are included in the system of fencing inclosing the ranch.
