LOCAL MATTERS.

POLICE COMMISSIONING to the number Of
thieves and bad characters that have assem-
bled in the city recently, Chief of Police
Stevens has issued an order to the police to
arrest the FOUNDERS, loafers and men living
about houses of prostitution, and also to keep
the Postotfce corridors and street corners
clear of crowds. Yesterday large number
of men who have been under the eye of the
police were given warning to leave town
within three days, or they would be charged
with vagrancy. 1t is evident that some of
them at least intend to take their departure.
FALSE ALARM.-Last night at about quar-
ter past ten an alarm of fire was turned in
from American District box corner of Ninth
and L, and the alarm was sounded from box
No. 26-Seventh and G streets. The fire de-
partment promptly responded but found no
cause for the alarm and returned to their
quarters. Chief Sullivan subsequently as
certained that the alarm was occasioned by a
party testing the American District box to see
whether it was in order, but in some manner
the communication to the main Office was an
alarm of fire.

Massey, Jr., located near Y-street levee and
Sixteenth, was destroyed by fire last Satur

Secretary sehuz and She Ute Question.
WASHINGTON, January 19th-Secretary
Schurz said to-day: 6 1t has never been held
blythe Department of the Interior that if an in
dividual member of the Ute nation committed
a crime that the whole nation should be held
responsible and punished therefor, but under
the provisions of the treaty of 1868 if certain
otfenses are committed by the Utes against
the whites the Ute nation is bound to sur
render the offenders, and this fact is fully
recognized by Ouray. If a peaceful settle
ment can be made with the Utes there is no
one in the Department who desires to
deprive them of their reservation with
out allowing them most liberal com
pensation. 1t is thought by some
members of the Ute delegation. now
in this city, that good many Indians
will be willing to settle down in severalty
upon agricultural lands on their present res
ervation, and yield the balance of the land to
the Government, and that those who will not
do this will so peaceably to the Uintah res
ervation." After some further remarks the
Secretary said: 81 deem e nv dntv 70 do

In California few more years of stolid
neglect ON this head will undoubtedly
produce consequences of the most serious
character. 1t will be useless to attempt to
control or regulate the flood waters of our
rivers in the valleys so long as the denuda-
ton of the Sierra is allowed to proceed as
in the past. a time must come, if the
present policy is pursued, when the denuda-
ton will have reached point at which the
operation of natural laws will come into
effect. Then the first severe snow-storm
will produce avalanches which, sweeping
without check down the naked mountain
sides, will carry everything they encoun-
ter before them to destruction. Snowsheds
will be obliterated. Mills, houses, villages,
towns, whatever lies in the path of the
slide, will be crushed and overwhelmed.
Not improbably the communications will be
completely destroyed across the mountains.
And the work of the avalanche will be
but the beginning of evil. The first mild
weather of spring will melt the masses
of snow, no longer shielded by woods, and
the entire volume will be poured into the
river channels, and sent in torrential form
down upon the valleys. No levees can
withstand the impact of such a flood.
They will give way, and destruction will
spread broadcast over the Sacramento val
ley. These torrents, too, viii, by the
force of their descent, strip the neighbor-
hood of their sources of the soil which
could alone renew the forest growth. Their
| destructive energy exhausted, terrible
droughts viii ensue. The rivers will
become unnavigable by May, the miners
will be deprived of water, and every in
dustry and interest will suffer. There
is nothing imaginative in this picture 1t
is mere application to California of laws
which have been seen in operation a hun
bred times in other parts of the world.
This is what is certain to happen if moth
ing is done to preserve our forests, and it
may be added that it is certain to happen
within the lives of men who are now mid
dle-aged. In urging remedial action upon
Congress and the State Legislature, there
fore, we are only asking that the State may
be protected against calamity the danger
of which cannot for moment be ques-
toned.

PROJECTION FOR THE FORESTS.

We have observed with satisfaction the
appointment in the Assembly of a Com
mittee on Forestry, and hope the Senate
will follow this good example. The need
of legislation for the protection of the for
ests of the State is extremely urgent. The
Congressional report upon this subject,
published a year ago, confirmed the gravest
apprehens.ons of those who had been OBJ
serving the rapid destruction of the timber,
and demonstrated the imperative demand
fer protective and remedial measures. The
indifference with which Congress and the
State Legislatures have hitherto treated
this question is not creditable to the intel
ligence of politicians. and is in effect a
sharp arraignment of their craftsmanship
While legislators are expanding all their
energies upon partisan schemes and the
management q ephemeral politics, the for
ests of the country are being destroyed at
rate which if maintained must in a
few years produce an actual scarcity.
This, however, is the least important con-
sideration. The rapid removal of the tim
Der from the sides of mountain ranges
threatens to produce the most serious and
irremediable injury TO the commonwealth,
and this State has more to fear in the near
future from the denudation of the Sierra
Nevada than from any other injury be.
side the flow of mining debris When the
mountains are clothed with their natural
growth of timber the SHOWS of the winter
are retained where they fall, and melting
slowly throughout the spring and summer,
keep up steady and moderate supply OF
water in the rivers and streams. But
when the mountain sides are stripped OF
their forest growth the SHOWS become sub
| iect to disastrous slides, and melting rap
idly because of their greater exposure,
pour down their water in swift and sud-
den freshets, which, rushing into the val
leys, produce destructive floods, to be
followed by long drought. The greed
and blindness of man have in many coun,
tries and at different times pursued this
reckless policy in regard to timber, and
always with the same consequences. In
France, in the Tyrol, in Switzerland, in
Italy, extensive areas of fertile territory
have been converted into sterile deserts in
this way. Wherever the destruction Of
the forest growth on steep activities has
been permitted, Nature has mercilessly in,
flicted the penalties she always visits upon
those who violate her laws. In France,
during the last quarter of century, the
Government has inaugurated vast schemes
of what is called "reboisement or re.
wooding, and an elaborate code of forestry
laws have been put in operation for the
protection of the timber, and for the re-
Mobilization of the ruined districts.

The present has been severe win
ter on cattle in this valley, and the
year past a very disastrous one.
About % per cent, in numbers, are
estimated to have been lost 10 the past
twelve months, of which probably Is
per cent. was from blackleg and 10
per cent. from the storms and light
feed. The high price Of hay-it sell
ing as high as SIS per ton here, and
$25 in Butte--led many cattle owners
to sell short and take chances on an
ordinary winter, when little hay would
be required. As result they have
lost heavily. Even with the excellent
attention and plentiful feed given BY
Kohrs & Bielenberg, they lost five pei
cent. of theirs. We are informed thai
