The SAN FnANcIsco Buleiia says: Consider

recent pioneer address, delivered in this city, tho
! speaker mentioned the nobo re:l-wouds which
could bo from this pointa fow yenrs ago, cor-
orDg tho hills in tho rear Of Oakland: Not q trco
is lett, and tho hills presont exceedingly bald
and barren aspect. 1t is also certain that thcro is
notnow sufficient moisture concentrated on tiicso
hills to gorniinnfo n new redwood 'iorcst:' Tho
Coast Range is being rapidly stripped Of redwood

ton by fro md drought, let's tho ycr,lurc-cad hills
go back to barronness. 1t is a thing to find
| new redwood forest Bpriuging up anywhere. Tho
| improvidcnt axeman slashca away right and loft
tho annual fres follow, spreading miles OF ter
ritory, and thus tho young rod-Toods are killed OIL
In so ycars VIC shall have finished up the redwood
forests now confined to narrow strip Of The coast
range. Tho ofleot Of this wholesale obstruction ahd
waste of forests is already beginning to lie econ
in tho climatic changes which roow:' loss mois-
turc is concentrated On tho hills which hare been
stripped. Tho redwood will not grow without ex-
ira moisture and whom left concentrates it as n
necessary condition Of its existence. THO present
summer has been a singularly dry one in tho
coast range, Years ago it was held That annual.
