Saying GirdIed Trees.

1t is said upon good authority that
when tree is girdled during the WIZ
ter by mice or rabbits, it may be saved
by cutting away the edges of the
wound in the spring, till fresh and
healthy bark is seen, Then peel off
strips from a limb of the tree, cutting
them so as 10 fit the gap exactly, the
ends of the strips pressing against the
fresh edge of the baiA. Contine by 81
bandage, and when circulation is &C
tive, the sap viii pass through the
bark thus grated on, and the tree will
grow as well as ever.
Another experiment has been made
something after the same manner
which has proven very satisfactory.
Instead of using bark, FIVE or six
scions, as large around as a pipe stem
and long enough to reach over the
girdled place, are grated into the
tree. First notch, then spring the
shoots or scions into these notches and
fasten the ends with wax. The prin-
eiple is that the scions grow rapidly
and spread over the grdled surface.
We have known of trees being saved
in this way, which had to all appear
ance been ruined by mice.

Lumber.

Within the past six years the pro-
duction of white pine lumber IN the
Northwest has more than doubled. In
1873 it was Sc 9,473. 600 feet, and in
1884 had risen to Z, 49, 083, 900 feet,
the largest quantity ever produced in
a year. Nor was the production in
1878 remarkably small. Prior TO that
year it lad ranged between 8, 1893 $50,
0C0 feet in 1873, and 1886, 333, 600 IN
1877, hence the present production is
fully double the maximum production
prior to 1879. But it is to be added
that the production last year WIS very
largely IN excess of consumption.
Lack Of information as to the exact
stecks on hand at the mills for prev
ious years makes it difficult to say
Just now the consumption has varied,
but the stock ou hand at the close of
1884. according to the Northwestern
Lumberman. was 3 SIC 957, 900 feet,
or nearly as much as full years
years production six years ago. 1t IS
stated that last years production of
lumber and shingles weighed about
~. 524, coo tons, which is a third more
than the entire east-bound movement
of the trunk lines. Most of this lumber
is transported long distances by rail,
and the increase within the past two
years has been largely in the north
western districts which supply the
products manly in that way.

THE commissioner appointed by the
Canadian government last year, for
the purpose Of securing information
relative to the effect Of ChiHess i'm
migration upon the industrial and
other interests of the country, recent
ly sent in a report in which 1t was
recommended that no restrictions
should be placed upon the Chinese
entering the Dominion, for the reason
that such enterprises as the Canada
Pacific Railway could not be com
pleted for years without the aid OF
cheap Chinese labor. One OF the
commissioners prosecuted his inquiry
in California and the other in British
Columbia, both arriving at the same
conclusion, that the presence of the
Chinese was a necessary and import
ant factor in securing the success of
various industrial enterprises At
the last session of the Canadian par
lament an act OF the legislature of
British Columbia, prohibiting Chinese
immigration, was disallowed, and re-
Gently the legislature of the Pacific
province petitioned the Dominion for
a removaI of this disallowance. In
view of the report sent in by the com
mission it is not probable that the
government will grant the petition of
tae provincials. 1t is obvious that
this problem is not to be settled in a
day, and that the solution arrived at
in one country may differ greatly
from that which diverse geographic al
or industrial conditions may csmpel
in another.

In Sweden and Finland the Lapps
are usually divided i4to fisher forest
and mountain Laps; the latter two
are the true representatives of the race.
In Norway they are classed as sea
Lapps, river Lapps and mountain
Lapps; the first two settled, the last
two wandering or nomadic. The
mountain Lapps have learned to drink
coffee and wear stout Norwegian
clothes, but they set as much store by
the reindeer as ever. A poor family
will have fifty and upward in q flock,
the middle classes 300 TO 700 and the
richest 900 or more. The reindeer is
as much loved by the Lapp as is his
pig by the Irishman, and the reindeer
often sleeps in his hut in much the
same fashion. The Lapp will whisper
to his reindeer when Harvesting him
to his sleigh, ahd will tell him where
to ge, and declares he understands
him. The reindeer is much like a
stag, only smaller. ALI the people,
animals and trees in Lapland are very
diminutive; and men are mostly un-
der five feet high, and the women un-
der four feet nine inches, so great are
the rigors of the climate, and the cows
sheep and goats are small in proper
ton.

The .Cabe.on" Indians.

Tbis tribe of Indians, which contains,
 according to Chief Cabezon's own state-
 ment, about 1000 souls, has its
 rancheria near Waltere' Station, about
 one hundred and twenty-five miles from
 this place, on the line of the Southern
 Pacific Railroad. west, in California. This
 tribe is sometimes called the "Cahuillas. :"
 They were christianized in the early days
 by Catholic padres, and maintain to this day 8 church organization and schools to educate their young. Their dialect is peculiar to the tribe and is not under stood by other Indians. They are gov erned by a single chief who rules the tribe with absolute sway. This tribe takes its name from the title of the line of chiefs, which is "Cabezon." The father of the present chief was called GerYacio Cabe- zon X, and died about two years ago, &C., cording to all authentic reports, at the advanced age of 14O years. These Indians own considerable stock of all kinds and do more or less farming and are, therefore, self-sustainirg.
 Chief Gervacio Cabezon XI. accom-. panied by some fifteen of his men and their wives, visited Yuma last week. The present chief Is an itelligent man about 50 years of age and is quite up in our system of government and laws. As his name (Cabezon) indicates, he possesses a large head, which, from his manner and versatility, must be well stored with h. dian knowledge and traditions. In con- versation with him he informed us that all his tribe were very friendly to "Don Diego" tMr. L. J. F. Iaeger) who resides across the Colorado river on the California side. They have great faith in him and regard him a seer and & man of mostextraordinary ability and knowledge. Mrs. Jaeger is regarded among them doctresS of most wonderful healing powers, and their journey here are mostly for the purpose of securing medi- cal aid from her. After visiting with Mir. and Mrs Jaeger fer 8 few days, and re- ceiving what medical aid they needed. returned home by last Thursdays freight l train. Cabezon and mum Der of his tribe | will visit Yuma again soon for the pur- pose of consulting Don Diego as to their future movements and to have some of their children doctored by Don Diego's wife, in whose great healing powers they | have the most implicit faith.
