NO DIFFERENCE.

She had heard the others talking.
Wee Oracle, three years old
OF watching in the New Year,
And watching out the Old;
That blessings rich. and pleasures
The glad New Year would bring;
While all things fraught with sadness
Around the old must cling.
So early on New Years morning
She opened wide her eyes;
And peeped from the chamber window,
Expecting great surprise
Then quickly turned, the while o frown
Swallowed her bright face DER:

The magnificent redwoods which ex-
tend along the coast ranges, from
Monterey Bay to Siskiyou, constitute,
of course, the chief timber resources Of
the State. 1t is from these forests that
the major part of the lumber used in
the State since the American occupa-
ton has been obtained. The drain on
these forests has necessarily been
enormous. In those redwood forests
adjacent to San Francisco Bay and
lying in the counties of San Mateo,
Santa Cruz, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, and
Alameda, most of the merchantable
lumber in the original growth has been
removed long ago. Fortunately the
denudation of these forests has not pro-
duced scene of utter desolation, such
as is sometimes pictured in the mind
as following III the wake of the lum-
bcrman's axe. In the greater portion
of these worked-over forests, where
the stumps have not been removed to
make way for fruit tree or vine, the
great vitality of the redwood has as
serted itself, and dense growth of
saplings has sprung from the mutila-
ted butts, and are rapidly approaching
merchantable condition.
The same phenomenon of nature re-
storing the redwood forests witnessed
in such parts of Mendocino and Hum
boldt counties as the lumberman has
already culled. An interesting illus
tration of the renewal of these magnili-
cent forest trees is presented in the
canons on the east side of the Contra
Costa and Alameda county range,
within few miles of this city, and
along the forest-clad slopes of Mount
Tamalpais, and the ranges of Sonoma
and Napa counties. The redwood for
ests on the range east of st. Helena, in
the latter county, supplied all the ties
used in the construction of the Napa
Valley Railway, and the new growth
has been drawn upon for years past for
posts and stakes for the vineyards and
orchards that are taking the place of
tho forests.-!Sdn francisco Bulletin,
