WANT A CHAIR OF
FORESTRY CREATED
BOARD OF TRADE DESIRES THE
BENEFITS OF SCIENCE.
A Strong Stand Taken in the Cause of
Pure Food Legislation-The
States Lumber Output.

The exhibit of the California State
Board of Trade has at last been installed
In the new quarters in the ferry building,
and yesterday the rooms were thrown
open for inspection by the public The
arrangement is very artistic, and the ex-
hibit now stands as the best of it's kind
ever assembled in the West.
The board of directors held their regu-
lar meeting for the first time in the new
offices, and nearly all were present. Upon
the request of the National Pure Food
Congress, that is to assemble in Washing~
ton on the 2lst inst, the board appointed
Senators Perkins and White and all of
the Congressman of the State as repre-
sentatives. The board indorsed the bill
introduced by Congressman Merritt Gros-
ner which makes it a felony to adulter-
ate foods, drinks, ETC., and forbidding the
false labelling of packages and products
The latter clause is to prevent Eastern
packers from putting labels on their
goods that lead the public TO believe that
they come from other places. The Pacific
Coast representatives will be urged to in
dOrSe this bill
The matter of the preservation of the
forests of the West was discussed and a
committee was appointed consisting of
John p Irish, Craigie Sharp and w. H
Mills, to confer with the Board of Regents
at the meeting Of the latter on the 21st
inst. The committee was instructed to
urge upon the faculties of the universe
ties of Berkeley and Stanford to create
a chair of forestry in their respective in
situations Cornell College is the only
university in the United States which has
such a chair, where the technical
branches Of forestry are taught. AS it is
now, the United States is obliged to Sc
cure the services of German scientists as
experts in this branch. Senator McAllis-
ter took great interest in the discussion
of this subject, and promised to do all in
his power to aid in the work of forest
preservation.
Editor Merritt of Wood and Iron asked
the board to devise. ways and means of
finding the output of lumber of this State,
as there are no statistics of this industry.
The board have taken the matter in hand
and will prepare a report for the benefit Of
the public. letter was received from
the Mechanics Institute asking the in
dorsement of its project to hold colonial
fair in September. While the request was
not refused, the board decided that the
proposition to ask the Legislature to APP
propriate $4,000 for this purpose would
money for the big fair and exposition in
1901; However; committee was appoint
ed to confer with the Institute people be-
fore definite action was taken.

Prospects.

The storm which has been with us for
twenty-four hours is called by the
weather officials "a regular old-timer -
The whole State has received a thorough
soaking and crop prospects have been
very sensibly frightened by the bounteous
precipitation. The southeast gale which
prevailed Monday night and Tuesday died
out yesterday afternoon and at 6 o'clock
last evening the wind was southwest and
blowing at the rate of fourteen miles an
hour. While there was hull in the rain
fall, Official Wilson was of the opinion
that it was only temporary and that the
storm had not yet left us. He did not
contemplate a return of the violent wind
but firmly believed we would have more
rain, on account of the falling barometer.

continuation of the old one
The rain was the heaviest of recent
years, besides covering a larger territory.

fish the striking proof OF this fact occurred
yesterday. Senator Hoar OF Massachusetts,, who not

every intelligent citizen could respect even though
it ran counter to his wishes, and which, both

the United States, and probably to Europe 1t was
quite fully published in the newspapers OF San Fran

omission was due to some necessity for retrench-

Surely this is a shame deep enough 1t cannot be
that the ruans of politics. the rogues of diplomacy
the sandbaggers of craftsmanship, will be able to add
to this roster Of the unfit and unhoy. Unless they
utterly exhausted their resources this first ballot,
then will the present Legislature reek above that of
"a thousand scandals" The one scandal of the cleo
ton of Burns would outrank multitude
The sponsors for Burns had to apologize for him.
They were forced to declare belief in his honesty and
with wave of the hand they banished all the black
record of corruption which has made up his political
lie. They said his word was good his bond
They dlated upon his devotion to friends, and many

nomic deeps there listen and approve. In the
very building in which the speakers stood the
official records showing that Burns the State

was honest rang mockingly through the halls, and
il perchance they reached the Office where Burns
waited to learn if his chatels had remained faithful,
he must have smiled grimly.
Day by day the battle will proceed The twenty
four have taken their places, and the ownership
OF Burns had not been questioned, nobody needed to
be surprised But any recruits to join the roped and
branded twenty-our will be regarded as more wan
tonly and brazenly iniquitous than the original.
