American Forests.

The forests of the United states have been 50 mercllessly stripped of trees that a wood famine is almost inevitable iu few years. The lumbermen have been allowed to do practically as they pleased, and they have pleased to reap always and SOW never. But an end Is coming to that reckless method Of pro cedure.and the lumbermen themselves are beginning to see that "somethlng must be done. That something can, of ,o1rse. only be planting on large scale. Happily. there IS little fear of Q similar dearth in Great Britain; none. gt any rate. until the greater landlords are reformed uut of existence. For almost the sole reason that England and Scot land are SO thickly wooded is the perse- ve-enc- of the landed class in tree-plent-
 no. One family alone. that of the dukes of Athole, has in hundred years nlanted scores of millions of trees. The "Dlanter dHke," who commenced opera ,ions in I774, planted 27,000,OOO trees, covering 1000 acres, principally upon the Dunkeid hills and in their neighbor- hood. The present duke of Athole plants from 6O0000 to 100000 trees sv-rv wear. The terrible storm which destroyed the Tay bridge, blew down

MORE land will be reclaimed and opened mp for cultivation, in Arizona this season than has bsen for the past three years put together. About SSO00OO will be expended for the year ending Nj y next, in canals and irngating ditch es, winch will increase the agricultural land sin theterritory by 200, 900 acres. Cur California friends, who have contented themselves wlth the delusion that they had perpetual market for their grain and fruits in Cactus land, Twill awake one of these fine mornings, and find that Arizona IS not only supplying the home market, but shipping both fruit and grain to eastern markets. We have the land and the water to build up two or three agricultural and horticultural districts equal to Los Angeles, and it is folly to suppo-e that they will not be utilized. The Salt river valley coun- try has made greater advances in agri- culture in the past six years, than did Los Angeles count, in the sixteen years following the admission of California IS one of the states of the Union.

But the Uuiial0es have gone. WLa, was the heart of tlelr range Up t0 within @ year ago is now about as free of buiia.oes as is Town. While ou the hunt news came 0f a bunch of some three thousand that had walked down from somewhere north Co ;he Powder river. The hunters worked down that way, but long before they got there learned that the herd, excepting a few bulls scattered in the mountains, had been killed of by halt- breeds and white hunters. There is believed Co be no herds Of bufIalOes of any considerable size, if, m fact, there are any excepting scattered individuals, south of the British line. While the hunt CTS were m tue Judith basin a cloud of smoke settled over the entire country, lasting for eight days so that DO object could be seen more than two hundred yards away. They afterward learned that thIs smoke came from prgIEIe ines started by Indians north oi ths Missouri to keep the huifal.e. iron. going south, as IS their habit ar thI- season Of the year. 1T thi5 fire accomplished its purpose, 1t myriade Of bdflaIOe- north Ut ~gea boundary line, where ,hey are likely to die Of cold aud starvation. lf not killed off by the hungry Assinniboine Indians.

The pro- prietors are now putting in an iron tank holding coco gallons, and some other machinery suitable to the change. The mill will use aDout 800 gallons of crude petroleum daI'y, or lJG,j0O gallons an- nually. Very few people ID Los Angeles know how crude petroleum IS used, bu a visit to the mill next week wlli ez- plain the mystery. The use of crude petroleum opens new era to this couu- try, which IS so thiuiy wooded. Petro- leum is plenty, and. as its production increases, 1t will get cheaper and the use of wood as fuel for mills and manu factories will be ended.-LOs Angeles Times
