CARSON, February 1st.-The Williams res
olution and memorial to Congress on the
Reagan bill were returned to-day with an
amendment which struck out all allusion to
the Central Pacific Railroad, and simply
asked Congress to pass the Reagan bill. Me-
der was to-day appointed to take the place of
Hammond. who recently went to New York.
The Indignation against Hammond grows
apace, and the Ormsby county citizens will
call upon him to resign by petition. Haines
bias introduced a bill providing for a tax on
the sale of spirituous liquors. The bill re-
garding the building of barbed wire fences
was so amended as to provide that they be
built of United States iron and white labor.
The State Prison bill is set as the special
order for 80 to-day. Colonel Fair is in
town.
SECOND DISPATCH.l
CARSON, February 1st.-After a prolonged
debate the bill to move the State Prison,
now located at Carson, to Reno, passed the
Senate. Much excitement prevails, and I'M
til the vote was announced it was looked upon
as a joke by everybody.

THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR FORESTS

An effort should be made by the Eegis-
lature to call the attention of Congress to
the rapid destruction of our forests. This
subject has been written upon almost to
WEAKNESS, but though Commissioner of
Forestry was appointed two years ago, and
though his first annual report contained a
great mass OF information showing the ur-
gent need of remedial legislation, nothing
has been done to protect, preserve or re-
place the timber. To those who have
studied the subject few things can appear
more discouraging than the whole treat
ment of this important question. Selfish
ness, greed, stupidity, ignorance, apathy,
have been exhibited IL turn by Congress
and the people. Though it is as certain as
the changes of the seasons that the de-
mutation of the Sierra Will produce
climatic and other revolutions most disas-
trous to the whole people of California /;
though it is equally certain that the de-
struction of our finest timber must make
both building material and fuel dear in the
near future through the conversion Of
our rivers into torrents, and of our val
leys into deserts, Is menaced by the
operations steadily proceeding there is
scarcely any contemplate partisan ques-
ton so insignificant that it will not thrust
this great subject ont of sight, and it is
only in the most spiritless and perfunctory
way that any reference to it is ever made.
As matter of fact there are no questions
before the Legislature to-day OF greater
consequence than this. 1t has an
intimate and most important bear
ing upon the drainage issue, for it
concerns the future condition and charac-
ter of our rivers. If the Sierra is to be
stripped of its forests it will be of little
use to devise elaborate schemes for the
reclamation and improvement Of our val
leys and for the deepening of our riv.
ers, for the ak of the woodsman is
setting in motion natural forces which, if
suffered to operate unchecked, will
overcome the best conceived devices of
human science, and overwhelm our
valleys as those of Southern France
and Switzerland and Italy have been
overwhelmed in the past. To con-
vince Congress that we are in earnest on
this subject we must show that we realize
the extent and magnitude of the dangers
impending, and whatever is done should be
given an emphasis and gravity such as will
command attention. Our Senators and
Representatives might we'll be instructed
and requested, in some special and signif-
cant way, to use their best energies in
pressing the question of protection to our
forests. and if it is made apparent that Cal
ifornia is thoroughly in earnest it is posi-
bic that something will be done

nIMaG1SARYn PROPERTY.

The San Francisco Bulletin, speaking OF
the debris bill, says ''Our scheme OF
g drainage is, according to the Governor, to
f" make $4,000 600 of property. but not
for the State. The whole people are to
q expend SO, 600, OO0 10 make an imagln-
- airy so, 600. 600 for few persons not
.'speciied. Perhaps the Bulletin thinks
that kind Of writing forcible and argu-
mentative. If so, we are sorry to be COM
PEELED to disagree with our contemporary
What the Bulletin means, or thinks it
means, by saying that the property to be
created by the Drainage Act is mot for
" the State, " and is " imaginary" we do
net know. That both these limitations are
nonsensical, however, we think demonstra-
bic. In the first place, it is impossible to
create new property which will not be
''for the State" in very real and tangible
way. Whatever project adds 70,0OO,-
coo to the wealth of the State
adds that amount to the assessment rolls,
and by SO doing distributes and lightens
taxation. If that is not making prosperity
g for the State >. we do not know what is.
In the second place the use OF the term
- imaginary in this connection is equally
Inappropriate and absurd. Nothing, GER
tainly, can be less imaginary than the re-
clamation of large tracts of land, and
their utilization for agriculture and other
productive purposes. Now the scheme Of
drainage which has been commenced in
wolves the reclamation of real property
which Governor Perkins has very cautiously
estimated at SO, 000,O We believe that
If he had said 500, 600 600 he would still
have been well within the mark, and the
creation-for it is almost literal creation
of this amount of productive land is as
certain as anything founded upon scientific
data can be. There is no room for doubt
about the possibility of adding SO much
wealth to the State, and the maximum
amount stated by the Governor in his mes
sage as to the possible cost of the under
taking would be very cheap for the gain to
be derived. But it is unfair to assume
that the work will cost Sl0,0O0,OO0. If
figures are to be used on this, candor de-
mands that the lower as well as the higher
ones should be stated. 1t may cost less
than S., zoo. 600, according to the engin-
GERS, and the less it is obstructed the lower
the outlay will be. The truth is that this
one plain consideration, that the works
contemplated will add $4,000 900 to the
capital of the State, is sufficient of itself
to demonstrate the wisdom of proceeding
boldly with the enterprise, and of itself
answers every narrow objection that has
been raised to the principle of general tax
alton. If an individual or community
can make $40, 600, 900 by an expenditure of
$4,000, 900, they are fools if they do not
embrace the opportunity.
