TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE
Now that the mountain fires are extin-
guished, plans are being made to replace
to some slight extent the trees destroyed,
The Pasadena and Mount Wilson To'l Road
to plant seven hundred trees ON the top of
Mount Wilson and at Henninger's Flats,
about half way up the peak. 1t is probable
that this good example will be followed by
several other of the mountain companies
and eventually by the government. The Pa
ciic Coast geological survey, which has been
working in the northern portion OF the
state. has now come to Southern California
for the winter and its chief duty will be the
collecting of data regarding the burned dis
trcts of the mountains in order that these
areas may be planted to trees to rep ace
recent fires Richard L. Goode, who is at
the head of this survey, will return to Wash
incton in few days, after the thirty or
forty men composing the various squads
II have been set to work. II is generally con
sidered by mountainecrs and others familiar
with the needs and renuireipents of the
mountain country that the tree selected to
replace those burned by the fires will be the
Pinus Tuberculata, which grows where hard
" anv other tree will grow. requiring al
most no soil to get foothold among the
rocks, and at the same time boasting an
other advantage, that it is almost .non-in'
fammable. The seeds remain on the tree
until it dies. unless a fire attacks it, when
the seeds fall and the tree thus seeds itself.
John Muir the celebrated explorer and re-
ologst, says: "rhis is Just the tree for the
Sierra Modre mountains" The trees to be
planted this winter by the toll road com
nanv include the Monterev pine, the maple,
English horsechestnut. chestnut, white .ce
dar and variety Of other trees. all of which
will he planted with care and tended for
several wears The first frost of the season
was seen on the top of the mountain last
Monday.
