The eucalyptus tree, Of which so
much was said last year when it was
recommended for use in marShy coun-
tries, because of its rapid growth, has
been made the subject Of a speculation
in California. The Los Angeles He
raid reports that company has been
formed in that city for the purpose Of
raisiug eucalyptus trees for fuel and
manufacturing purposes. Trees have
been raised from seed in the vicinity
Of that city, which are now four and
half years old, and which measure six
teen inches in diameter, and are forty
feet high. 1t is estimated that each
tree is worth one dollar for fuel, and
more for manufacturing purposes. The
company proposes to buy land at
about thirty dollars an acre, and plant
each acre with six hundred trees. The
profits, ie the trees are cut down at
the end of four years can be READILY
calculated, and the Los Angeles Com
pany think they can be realized as
well.
