LETTER FROM BERKELEY (Correspondence of The Gazette) This year the number of entering freshmen at the University of California passed the thousand mark and the latest figures show the number to be working toward eleven hundred. The total registration counting students of all classes would be 3814 as against 3392 last year. If the students in the summer session be counted, as is the usage at most other universities, the number of students at Berkeley could be correctly stated to be about 6000. The figures of this year indicate a marked increase in the number of women with some falling off in the number of men students. The colleges of natural science and commerce and of social sciences and letters show increase; the colleges of agriculture and engineering a slight falling off. There is an increase of fifty per cent over last year in the number of intrants from high schools outside California. The graduate school, presided over by Dean David P. Barrows, flourishes in remarkable degree. The registration this year was 431 as against 391 last year. Slightly over half are graduates of the University of California. The committee on higher degrees will receive this body of graduate students in Hearst hall on Thursday evening of this week. The opening autumn term witnesses the addition to the faculty of several new instructors and professors. Professor Herbert E. Bolton, one of the leading American scholars in the history of the west, joins the depart- the forest is $540,000,000. This is a large sum, but is doubtless within the truth. The estimated wooded area of California is 28,608,000 acres. Approximately 24,058,050 acres are in National forest reserves and 4,549,950 acres in private ownership or unreserved. The conservation of the forest areas of California is most intimately related to the welfare of the state. No greater calamity could befall the state than the denudation of these wooded lands. On the other hand, incalculable benefit will come from a wise conservation of the forests and a reforestation of the already denuded areas. Conservation of natural resources must of necessity include the forests and the streams. Happily a wise governmental policy has saved enough of these areas to give assurance that their relation to the common welfare will not be seriously impaired. Redwood leads in the lumber production of the state. It produces from 40 to 75 per cent of clear lumber. The redwood (Sequoia Sempervirens) is in digenous to California, and except for a few stunted trees in Japan, is found in no other country. This growth covers a tract on the northwestern coast of California, beginning at the northern line (there being not over 2000 acres over the line in Oregon), and occupies a continuous district from the seacoast eastward to the crest of the Coast range of mountains about 240 miles long (north and south) and from 10 to 20 miles wide. In this district there were originally about 1,200,000 acres of redwood-timbered lands, comprising practically the world's entire supply of this mag- desired for such highway additional data of the past assessed values of all to other data valuable under stances.

Slightly over half are graduates of the University of California. The committee on higher degrees will receive this body of graduate students in Hearst hall on Thursday evening of this week. The opening autumn term witnesses the addition to the faculty of several new instructors and professors. Professor Herbert E. Bolton, one of the leading American scholars in the history of the west, joins the department of history. He was a student under Professor Frederick Turner at Wisconsin, later a member of the history department of the University of Texas, and recently a teacher at Stanford. He has published extensively and is an authority of eminence on the history of California and the southwest. In connection with this teaching he will be engaged extensively in research in the rich materials of the Bancroft library. He gives among other courses this year one on the history of the west and another on Spain in the southwest. His graduate course in western history will deal with "The frontier relations of the United States with Spain and Mexico from 1803 to 1845." F. J. Teggart, for some time curator of the Bancroft library, becomes this year associate professor of Pacific coast history. With these two leading scholars and with the advantage of the Bancroft library now excellently housed in the new Doe building, California is admirably equipped for the working out of the history of this state and its neighbors. With the series of publications now coming out under the auspices of the academy of Pacific coast history the romance of California, as Professor Morse Stephens calls it, will become known to the people of the state. The native sons of the golden west have shown their zeal in this work by the founding of two fellowships in Pacific coast history. The first appointee, Lawrence Palmer Briggs, is now in Spain engaged in research on documents that throw light on the beginnings of America in the Spanish colonies. Dr. L. J. Paetow comes from the university of Illinois to be assistant professor of English history. He was formerly a Fellow of the University of Pennsylvania, where he took his Ph. D. degree with a thesis on Mediaeval University Studies. He has been lecturing in the last summer school and in the present year gives courses on the history of England and the constitutional history of England.

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION Address Communication to Supervisors Requesting Information Asking information regarding Orange county with reference to the building of the state highway through this section, the state highway commission has forwarded the following communication to the supervisors of Orange county: Sacramento, Sept. 8, 1911. The Honorable Board of Supervisors.—Gentlemen: For the purpose of the more quickly obtaining all data possible, upon which to base our final decision as to the most feasible route for the state highway system through your portion of the state, we would ask your hearty co-operation, and would request that you submit to this commission, as soon as you can conviently, a complete map of your county, drawn to a scale of one-half inch to the mile, having indicated thereon the route or routes most versa tract on the northwestern coast of California, beginning at the northern line (there being not over 2000 acres over the line in Oregon), and occupies a continuous district from the seacoast eastward to the crest of the Coast range of mountains about 240 miles long (north and south) and from 10 to 20 miles wide. In this district there were originally about 1,200,000 acres of redwood-timbered lands, comprising practically the world's entire supply of this magnificent wood. The mills have removed probably not more than 20 per cent of the original standing timber, having during the fifty years averaged 220,000,000 feet per annum. The cut since 1903 from this district (comprising the counties of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino and Sonoma), has averaged nearly 400,000,000 feet. There is about 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 feet sold in the neighborhood of the mills and about 20,000,000 feet annually consumed in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties that is cut up there.

CROWDS GOING TO CIRCUS Many Anaheim Citizens Will See Ringling Show at Santa Ana A great many Anaheim people are going to Santa Ana on Sept. 22 to the Ringling Bros.' circus. It will be the only opportunity this year and the railroads are preparing to handle thousands of visitors from the surrounding territory. Ringling Brothers have made many important improvements since they last appeared in this part of the country. At Madison Square Garden, in New York, where the season began, the performances were attended nightly by the biggest crowds that ever saw a circus in Manhattan, and the newspapers were not backward about saying that the Ringling Brothers were presenting, in every respect, the best entertainment of the kind ever given there. The performances in Santa Ana will be identical with those given in the garden, not the slightest change having been made in the long program. The circus offered this year is one of wonderful novelty.

BALBOA GIRL'S SAD STORY Charges Stepfather With Contributing to Her Delinquency In Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana the other day was held the preliminary examination of W. E. Rees, charged with contributing to the delinquency of Myrtle Seelstad, the fifteen-year-old adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Seelstad of Balboa, Rees was a cook in the restaurant conducted by Mrs. Seelstad, but was discharged ten days ago after Mrs. Seelstad, according to her testimony, had caught him kissing her foster daughter. He went to Los Angeles, and the girl followed him the next day, the two being arrested in a rooming-house. On the stand the girl denied that there had ever been any improper relations between her and Rees, or that he had induced her to leave home. She stated that she ran away because of the treatment accorded her by her foster father, who she said, accomplished her ruin by force and threats when she was twelve and a half years old, and had since been intimate with her at intervals extending to within a month of the time she went away. She stated that Seelstad had otherwise been cruel to Rees was held to the superior court in $250 bonds.
