CALIFORNIA REDWOOD.


The following is from Aagee's Real
E'tat> Circular. Of San Franeisco:
The redwood mills of California are
capable Of turning out about $50. .O0n.-
ooo feet OF sawed lumber yearly, but
tney have never yet been called upon
TO supply more than half that quantity
10 any one year. As our city trade
has been for the past foor years, the
supply has far exceeded the demand,
and 100000. 600 feet is fair estimate
OF local consumption for any year of
that time. For twelve months past ex
ports to ell points. both from the mills
ana this city, have not exceeded 40. .
OOO. 600 feet. The greater portion of
this has gone 10 our own ports south of
Santa Cruz. Mexico. Central America
and New York. Only small Quantities
OF the choicest find their way to the
latter place. where red wood is now. as
sssvssPaessog Spanish cedar in cigar
box and other tight wood work. Our
chief region Of redwood supply is flon
Trinidad to Gualala river, including
the intermediate forests and mills in
and around Humboldt Bay. The mill
scales for redwood 'stumpage' in these
districts vary from 81 TO 81 so per 1000
feet. Nearly all the redwood lumber
and shingles sent hence by rail, steamer
aud around Cape Horn to the Eastern
States, is shipped by one large firm
here, who have the privilege OF very
low freights. when no other remuner>

SECOND DAY.

%. s.. YORKTOWN, Va, October 10.
About eleven o. clock Secretary Blaine and
the French AMI German delegations, in full
uniform, arrived at Lafayette Hall. On en-
tering, the Marine Band OF Washington
played an appropriate air, the military Of
ficers, Senators, Congressman and other
persons Of distinction greeting them as they
passed. At the end Of the hall the Presi.
dent met the distinguished guests, and an
informal interchange Of courtesies took
place. In few moments the party started
for the grand stand, President Arthur and
Secretary Hunt leading. They were re-
ceived with cheers as they appeared upon
the platform. Next came Secretary Blaine,
escorting the French Legation. General
Sherman with his stan, in uniform, were
next In line, General Hancock and staff fol-
lowing.
After general handshaking, the proceed
ings were opened by prayer by Bishop Har-
ris. He invoked Divine blessing upon the
United States and the Republic of France,
and in conclusion asked Gods blessing upon
all the crowned heads of the world.
The POindeXter Centennial Hymn was
then sung by choruses from Baltimore,
Richmond and Washington. ..r &.
President Arthur was then introduced by
Secretary Blaine, aud delivered the follow
ing address:
Upon this soil, one hundred years ago,
our forefathers brought TO a successful issue
their heroic struggle for independence.
Here and then was established, and, as we
trust, made secure onthis continent for ages
yet to co me, that principle OF government

tem-the sovereignty of the people. The
resentmcnts which attended and, for the
tme, survived the clash OF arms have long
since ceased TO animate our hearts, IN is

de Gated foe that to-day we summon
up remembrance OF those events which
have made holy the ground wheroon we
tread. surely no such unworthy sentiment

General Manager VIM. B. Strong, of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, makes
the following point in communication

that inasmuch as the law allows IL per

of money in tins state, it cannot we'll re-
fuse to permit railway companies to
make net profit of 10 per cent. The
loans on which 10 per cent. is allowed

crates this argument and then states that
until within the last three years NO rail
road in Kansas has ever been able to
pay the interest on its bonded debt, and
never until 1870 did any Kansas railroad
pay dividend, and then only two out
of the thirty-five in operation were able
