FINEST FOREST IN THE WORLD.
To Improve the sequoia and General
Grant National Parks.

WASHINGTON, Sep. Capt. Parker, OF
the Fourth Cavalry, acting superintendent
of the Sequoia and General Grant National
parks, California, in his annual report to
the Secretary of the Interior, states that
there have been no destructive forest fires
in the parks during the year, and that
trespassers have given no trouble. Capt.
Parker speaks of the giant forest as prob
ably the most magnificent body OF timber
In the world. 1t occupies an area of about
three miles square on an elevated plateau
east of the marble fork. 1t is a continuous
dense forest of splendid trees. mainly red
wood and sugar pine. Nearly all of the
redwoods reach height of 300 feet from
the ground aud measure from fifteen to
twenty feet in diameter. To preserve this
great natural curiosity and to make it all
accessible to the public a good road is es-
sential and he recommends that $50, 900
be appropriated for the purpose Of con-
structing such a road. He also recon-
mends that bridges be built across the
main Kaweah and the North Fork rivers;
that a wire fence be built around Grant
park that the two parks be consolidated;
and that the many fine streams in the park
be stocked with fish.

Train wreckers ut Work In Vermont.

FALL RIVER, Mass. Sept. There viii
be no strike in the mills here, - all
troubles have been settled. The confer
ence committee Of the Mapufacturers'
association met the Mule Spinners' union,
hnd, after discussing the matter thor
oughly, voted to recommend the adoption
of the standard price list Of 1855 This
was on basis Of So hours and Is reduo-
tion of 10 per cent.
There u much joy In town, the opera
tives being glad that the anxiety 10 over.
Some of the mills will probably start Mon
day IL the cut down IL accepted, as nearly
everyone believes such will be the case.
The following statement OF the manufac-
turers was read at the-meetiRg;
The Manufacturers' statsmsnty
We wish TO present to the spinners' COM
mittee candid statement of our view Of the
present situation. and make clear,as Tar as We
are capable Of doing, why reduction Of
wages at this time seems TO us TO be impera-
lively demanded.
In the first place we will all agree that the
market for cotton goods Il In the most deplor-
able condition. Notwithstanding curtail-
ment Of production during the past two
months, larger In extent than ever occurred
before in this country, we fnd that goods
made by us will sell only In very limited
quantities, and they will not bring within q
large fraction Of the cost Of production.
The losses are so great that a well equipped
mill can better afford to be idle and suffer the
loss of dxed expenses. such as taxes. insur-
ance, interest and other smaller items, rather
than the loss In making goods at present
prices, even II they could be sold.
AS evidence Of this, strong corporations,
which do not owe dollar and have a good de-
posit In the bank, are now idle.
An Explanation.
1t Is suggested that thes remedy can be
reached by still further curtailment and
that eventually prices must improve and the
mills be able 10 resume without cutting wages
In reply TO this we have to say that we feel
the responsibility of keeping our mills closed
for weeks and perhaps months to come is too
great for US to assume. +
In announcing this reduction the most con-
servative views prevailed. and, instead of
asking our employees TO accept 30 to 40 per cent
OF, which would be necessary IL we were to
reduce cost TO the present selling price, we
asked them TO accept conditions but little IL
any below those in force n little more than one
year ago under prosperous circumstances.
This does not seem 10 US TO bc severe or un-
reasonable, and unless the doctrine prevails
that under no circumstances or conditions are
the operatives TO help bear the burdens and
losses of hard times and a reduction OF pay
Is never justifable, then IL would seem that
present conditions would justify II, II ever.

Winn of Maiden, Warren johnson of Bos-
ton, Il. G. Brown OF Brockton and J. b.
woodnn Of Marblehead were chosen q
committee on platform.
The platform was not materially changed
from that Of last year. Some of the nsw
Ideas are:
We favor q graduated tax on inheritances
and incomes.
We protect against the contract system
practiced by municipalities in employing
labor. We demand that oil public employees
be brought under classified civil service
with admissions and promotions of merit
only, and dismissed for cause after hearing.
We condemn the present management OF
Industry because It fails to provide work for
multitudes of willing hands, while at the
same time overworking those who are en-
ployed. We therefore favor the reduction OF
the time Of labor, looking toward an eight
hour day, which will tend both to tighten
burdens of the workers and TO increase the
number of those finding employment
We declare 10 to be the duty OF the state and
municipalities to aid the unemployed by or
ganizing labor according 10 their several
trades and abilities.
After the reading Of the platform OF last
year, improved upon by the above ideas,
the nominees made short speeches of ac-
ceptance. Nominee Cary was of the
opinion that the Peoples party would
poll an astonishing vote this year.
