Alsor Says He Will Not Resign

WASHINGTON, July 12.--Secretary
Alger made, in a report to the AS
ISOLATED Press, his personal state
ment concerning the reports that he
is about to resign from the Cabinet.
When asked as to the truth of the
rumors, the Secretary said:
"There is nothing in these reports
but air." replied the Secretary. 81
shall not retire this year, certainly,
and cannot say as to the future. My
private business and the state OF my
health will govern my future course.
"These constant assaults and re-
peated baseless reports are, ofcourse,
very annoying to me and extremely
distressing to my family; but | have
never retired under fire yet, and do
not propose to do so now. Nothing
that have ever heard, OF or known
of, has been so cruel as the attacks
upon me. II my critics can point to
one thing in my official career that
I have done that ought not to have
done, or that have not done that |
should have done, | shall be very
glad to surrender my present official
duties"

The Redwood Forest.

The redwood forest of Califor-
lia is said to be the greatest
mass of natural timber in the
world.
1t runs in a narrow strip along
The coast from the Oregon line
nearly to San Francisco, cover
ing 1000 square miles.
No other known wood fir.
nishes so many feet of cut lum
Der to the acre, This is partly
because the trees are very large,
partly because they crowd SO
closely to each other that no sun.
light can penetrate on their
branches.
A redwood forest is a vast tenn
pie, whose foliage is its roof,
whose solemn aisles are arched
by massive trunks.
Inc mills are cutting 25O ,OOO,-
Geo feet of redwood lumber every
yeav. At this rate the coast will
be swept of this noble forest in
eco years. In reality the destruc-
ton will be more rapid, as the cut
each year increases, and it would
take a thousand years for the
trees to grow again.
There is no waste by fire in a
redwood forest. The wood con-
tains no pitch, is very wet with
sap and will not burn standing,
while the deep shade and con-
slant rains keep the peat beneath
them always moist.
