4 Primer of Forestry.

The Department Of Agriculture has in press
and will issue Bulletin No. ~ Division o;
Forestry. This bulletin is the first part OF
paper entitled "a Primer OF Forestry" and was
prepared by Clifford PiHchot, Forester OF the
department. 1t deals with the units which conf
pose the forest. with its character as an organic
whole, and with its enemies. 1t is divided into
iour chapters The first chapter treats OF the
life of the tree. 1t describes its three parts
The roots. trunk. and crown-its food compost
ton OF wood, breathing, Transportation, growth,
structure Of wood, annual rings and helrtwOod
and sapwood The second chapter is devoted 10
a discussion Of the various requirements of trets
heat, moisture, and lght-their rate OF growth
and reproductive power, pure aud mixed forests,
and reproduction by sprouts. The third chapter
gives the life history OF forest showing the
help and harm which the trees receive from one
another. The last chapter deals with the enc
mics OF the forest, OF which fires and reckless
numbering classed the worst. In the United
States wind and sheep grazing come next. Cattle
and horses do much less damage than sheep, and
snow break is less costly than windfall.

message by telephone this evening
from San Francisco which may have
an important bearing on the Senatorial
situation. Mr. Bard telephoned that
he was no longer in the field as a can
didate for United States Senator and
desired the friends who were voting
for him to vote for U. S. Grant. He
also expressed the sentiment that no
election of Senator would be better
than the election of Burns.
Assemblyman Greenwich, who recent
ly changed his vote from Grant to
Bard on the advice of his Ventura con-
stituents, was advised tonight to
change back to Grant. Senator Rowell
of Fresno, who has been voting for
Thomas r. Bard, has been informed
that his candidate is no longer in the
field.

TO DRAIN THE SOUTHWEST.
Mission Clubs Concentrate on Sys-
tenn of Sewerage for the
District

Property owners in the southwestern
section of the Mission are determined to
have a system of sewerage adopted by
the present Board of Supervisors. At a
recent meeting of the Federation of Mis-
sion Improvement Clubs a petition was
prepared and ordered filed with the Su-
pervisors, asking that the City Engineer
be empowered to prepare plans for a
sewer system and pledging the board 70
provide funds in the next tax levy to IN
augurate the work.
The object is to prepare the necessary
plan, with estimates of cost for the main
and tap Sunnyside, Lakeview, Paramount,
Holly Park and empty into the bay near
Butchertown.
Following on this line of Improvement,
the federation went further and In
structed the executive committee to pre-
pare a petition for an appropriation for
the erection of new schools in the West
of Castro Street District, the Sunnys1de
District, Ocean View and the Five Mile
Tract. 1t will be circulated for sigma
lures and later filed with the Board or
Supervisors.
The hoggish propensity of the telephone
company in charging % cents for all mes
sages from Ocean View got an unmerci-
full scoring at the hands of the delegates
from that club. 1t was resolved to re-
quest the company to extend the nickel
service to the place. Delegate A. s. Lille,
with an object of aiding home products,
offered resolution to that effect which
was unanimously carried and sister clubs
requested to follow suit.
