ELECTRICAL POWER FROM FOLSOM

We invite attention to paper on the
inside pages of this issue of the RECORD
UNION devoted to the consideration of
the possibilities of electrical science as
motive power The article also contains
extracts from letters from Mr.. .Liyermore,
of the Folsom Water-power Company, in
dicating what that corporation intends to
do in the matter of bringing power to this
city by electrical transmission from gen.
orators located at Folsom. The subject
will be found to be one of especially lively
interest to the people of this city, and to
disabuse the readers mind of any possible
misconception concerning the economy
and availability of electricity as a means
of propulsion. Assuming that the Folsom
Water-power Company, the works of
which are already greatly advanced to-
wards completion, finds it economical to
transmit to this city electrical power for
use in various mechanical directions, the
important part it viii play in the develop
ment and up-building of this city can be
fancied without much effort of the imagin-
alton. Mr.. Livermore assures us that the
question of feasibility of the scheme is no
longer one of conjecture with the COM
pany, but that it is entirely convinced not
only that electricity can be transmitted to
this city from Folsom without so much OF
loss as will render it uneconomic, but that
it can be brought here and sold as a
motive force with gain to his company
and greater profit to the consumers.

MOUNTAIN VANDALISM.

The Ala revives the subject of forest
destruction in this State, and calls for
vigorous action to prevent the total clear
ing of the hills and mountains of wooded
growth We are glad that the Ata has
taken up the question, but we confess that
our own faith in anything being done is
very slight. The RECoRD-UNIoN has for
many years labored to arouse the people to
due sense of the great danger that resides
in the denuding of the mountains. Several
other journals have done equal service in
that direction, but it has seemed that the
public at large has not that sensibility on
the subject that should distinguish peo-
ole so enlightened as ours. 1t requires
some great calamity to fully arouse the
American public to action upon questions
of vital interests of this character. They
NAV be told times without number that if
| certain practices are persisted in there will
result certain Ills, but they appear to be
content with the present, and to provide
for the evil day when it comes. In this
| matter of forest fires in California, the day
of disaster is already here. Witnesses
fresh from the Lake Tahoe region inform
us that almost that entire section is a scene
of desolation, on account of the destruction
| by forest fires of the wooded raiment of the
noble slopes of the Sierras. At the head
of Emerald bay last week, a fire was rag
ing of many miles extent, destroying the
finest park of tree growth in all that
region. The confagration was the result
of the cupidity Of sheep-herders, or of the
carelessness of campers. Most likely the
sheep men are chargeable with most blame,
since it is to their interest to have the
hills cleared of timber in order to enlarge
the grazing area. Yet it is as certain as that
night comes after departing day, that the
destruction of the timber will induce floods
in one season and drouths in another
greatly raise the heat in summer and cor-
respondIngly lower it in winter; deprive
the soil of its ability to, retain moisture
and feed the streams gradually, aud will
cause the erosion of the slopes under the
fall of rain to go on a hundred-fold more
rapidly than under normal conditions
The game is driven out, valuable timber
supplies destroyed, the finest scenery in the
State reduced to a spectacle of desolation,
and millions of yalue eliminated from the
prosperity of the State. If the people
were quick to the importance of this sub
iect, they would have small army OF
foresters in the hills and mountains seiz,
ing upon the vandals chargeable with;the
outrages referred to, and bringing them tc
such swift punishment as would make
these incendiaries flee from the bounds OF
the State in terror.
