ing of Cut-Over Lands.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.-Chief
Forester Clifford Pinchot of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
to-day met with some representative
redwood men to consider the initiation
of practical measures looking to the
conservation of California forests.
J. G. Jackson was in the chair, and

unanimously resolved that an effort be
made at once to raise funds among the
owners of redwood lands, to be expend
ed under the direction of the Division of
Forestry, United States Department of
Agriculture, in investigations to deter
mine the probability and method of re-
freshing cut-over redwood lands.
So general and hearty were the Of
fers of free TRANSFORMATION and free
board at lumber camps for Deputy For
esters who should engage in this work
of investigation, that Mr.. Pinchot in
timated a very small sum would be
sufficient to inaugurate the work and
carry it forward for the present.
Several hundred dollars were imme-
diately subscribed, and it is believed
that practical work will soon be COM
menced.

the inquiry, the ladies grew excited,
and communicated their nervousness to
the gentlemen. AS a precaution against

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 14.-Papers in
what is likely to prove a very sensa-
tional suit were filed here to-day. The
plaintiff is Matthew Gage and the de-
PENDANT r. E. Houghton, an attorney

In his complaint Gage asks that the
attorney be disbarred, and for reason
charges Houghton with unprofessional
conduct in handling his suit over the
title to a section of land near the city,
in which suit Houghton was attorney
for the defendant.
Gage charges that Houghton pre-
pared and used in the trial of the case
several affidavits. knowing that the al

and in so doing wilfully violated his
duty as an attorney to the detriment
and loss of the plaintiff.
