Congress has passed an act for the
preservation of the big trees of Tularc
County, California, which are regarded
by the tourists as among the greatest
curiosities of that wonderful region. OF
late they have been in danger of de-
struction by the insatiate lumber men,
and the act was the result of represen-
tations to Congress that they would soon
disappear unless mea sures were taken to
restrain the busy woodtnan and his ak.
The bill provides for the conversion of
the region containing the famous trees
into a public park, to be under the care
and protection of the Government.

To Prevent DrOughts.

DR.. Felix l.. Oswald asserts in the
Voice, that the substitution of perennial
for annual food plants would have the
Incidental advantage of preventing the
ruin of crops by summer droughts.
Forest trees, especially such leaf trees as
oaks and elms, undoubtedly help to
equalize the humidity of the atmosphere,
i. e., to prevent droughts as we'll as
winter floods. Large plantations of
fruit trees would have similar effect,
while cereals or extensive vineyards seem
to have no more influence on the annual
rainfall than the dusty sage-shrubs of oui
western prairies.

A SONG FOR THE PRINTING PRESS.

A Song for the Press; the Printing Press
That has ruled the world alone,
Since the finger of God first gave His laws
On the tablet of senseless stone;
Since spark of His wisdom down sent
Woke the slumbering thoniyht to birth,
And the Press, as meteor, flashed thro' the
gloom.
The darkness that lowered DER earth.
A Song for the Press; more potent far,
Than the fiat of crowned king,
Than the cohorts Of war-than the steel-clad
Than the mightiest can bring.
Kingdoms, and tower and palace wall
That have braved century's might,
Crumble in ruin and totter-fall,
When the Press wakes the giant might.
A Song for the Press; lever long sought,
The world to sway in times olden,
To check the power of oppression's hand,
Break the rule of the scepter golden,
Pierce the gloom of the dungeon, the cap
tive free.
Rive oak door ami iron rod,
And sent broadcast DER sin-bound world,
The words of the living God.
A Song for the Press; the angel that lines
In light ON its record page,
Each glorious thought and each noble deed
Each act of passing age;
The historians pen, and the poets wand
Each triumph, each God-born rhyme
Is recorded there, and forever lives
Defying the touch of time.
A Song for the Press; like the armed men
That rushed DER Rome's ivied wall,
When Liberty, swayed and trampled in
DUST
Cesar's pride and Judgment hall;
So its step awakes the downtrod one
Mid his traldom, his fear and doom,
And thunders in wrath round the crowned
king,
Foretelling of death and Of doom.
A Song for the Press; the East-born star
OF religion-of liberty-power-
Untrammeled by wealth--by passion un-
swayed;
'Tis the index--the scribe of each hour,
And still shall remain-still the slender
type
Shall 'click," and all nations bless,
And the last star from earth that ever fades
out.
Be tho God-modeld Printing Press.
William FL. Bushnell.

''Every traveller has noticed, /" observes
the st. Louis Star sayings, ''that rail
roads get rid of their old, discarded tics
by burning them up. The ordinary
practice is to place them in piles as near
the rails as possible and then set fire to
them, to the great annoyance and dis
comfort of passengers. At the same time
there are thousands of families ON the

take these ties away and use them for

1t was happy gathering of little men
and women to the number OF over 100 that
assembled in the Lester Norris Memorial
kindergarten, 1918 Pacific street, yesterday
forenoon, to celebrate the thirteenth birth
day of the beloved child of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. F. Norris, in whose memory the school
was instituted some two years ago.
The membership of the kindergarten Mt
present numbers about 100, but on such oc-
casions every child who has ever attended
the school is invited to be present.
Short but interesting exercises were held
in the little school-room, under the direc
ton of Miss Belle Scott, the PRINCIPAL and
quite number of older folks were present
to witness the children's pleasure. Among
others were Mrs. b. f. Norris, Mrs. Sarah
B. Cooper, DIR. and Mrs. j. d. Stewart Miss
Carlton, Mrs. Howard of Chicago. and
Mrs. Dir. Sterling, late principal Of the the
Dntferin Medical College at Agra, India,
The features OF the indoor entertainment

were presented with box OF candy and an
orange. Mrs. Norris says she intends tn
give the children treat of this kind each

GRAIN
An Association Which Will Fix
Rules as to Contract Sales.

A few days ago quiet, informal meeting
of grain-dealers was held in the Chamber of
Commerce to discuss the advisability of
forming an association to further the in
terestS of their special branch of the grain
trade. So quiet and so very informal was
the meeting that it is hard to find any one
who will admit either having been present
or knowing anything Of the proposed asso-
Citations actions.
Some six months ago an association was
formed among wheat-shippers to arrive at
some mutual understanding between them
selves as to the writing of charter parties
and other matters solely appertaining to
the shipping trade. Thus far the associa-
ton has every reason to be satisfied with
results.
The grain-dealers, fired with the same
idea OF necessitous harmony, have now met
with the avowed purpose of establis hing
fixed rules, especially as to selling and as to
the making of contract sales for grain. the
ruling idea being to secure a more omplete
uniformity OF contract between buyer and
seller than can possibly exist under the
present comparatively lax system. Hither-
to and up to now all grain contracts are
worded to suit one or either party. the re-
suit being great difference of opinion, re-
sul:lng In no end of disputes that have
often to find their way into the courts for
tedious settlement.
The meeting. while adjourned without
any fixed date for reassem bliug, will it is
understood, be very shortly summoned to
take denulte action in the reform which the
trade 1eels IS only commenced and which at
the same time Is so badly needed,
