THE MONUMENT COMMITTEE.

NI AYOR PHELAN has chosen we'll and wisely
T. in selecting the gentlemen who are to take
charge OF the movement for the erection OF a
monument to Admiral Dewey. The work is an i'm
porant one and despite the strong public sentiment
in It's favor it will not be brought to without
the exercise OF energy and business sagacity OF
high order
The committee isa strong one in every respect Its
members only hold high positions in business and
in social circles, but OF such ability influence
and leadership they count upon large following
OF earnest supporters in the task they have under
taken Their very names carry weight with them.
What citizen can doubt the accomplishment of an
enterprise entered upon under the direction of Mayor
Phean, Irving NJ. Scott, F. W.sVan Sicklen C. L.
Patton c. H. Murphy, Charles Bundschu, w G.
Stafford J. D. Grant Leon Soss, Z. B. Pond,
George D. Clark. Joseph S. Tobin, Frank J. Symmes
]. b Renstcin, Claus Spreckels r. H. Fletcher r.
p. Sclwcrn, f. w. Hopkins and Horace @. Platt.
The committee has organized by the election OF
Mayor Phean president, Claus Spreckels and Irving
NJ. Scott vice presidents, and Captain R. H. Fletcher
secretary Each and every member OF the committee
has not only consented to but has exhibited
little ardor and enthusiasm in the movement There
will be no laggards or recalcitrants among them
Each and all will work with eye single toward the
success OF the enterprise and with perfect harmony OF
sentiment all essential points OF the undertaking.
While OF course details have yet been fixed con-
corning the monument it is we'll understood it is to be
one OF the notable monumental structures of the
country 1t has been suggested that at'east 100000
will be required defray its cost and it is possible
that may be largely exceeded The members Of
the committee reported to be sangnine they can
raise the money needed in comparatively short time
The movement appeals, OF course not to San Fran
cisco only, but to all California; and, as a matter Of
fact, TO the whole Pacific Coast 1t is to be mani
festaton by the people of this portion OF the Union
OF their appreciation of Deweys great victory and
evidence OF their recognition of its far-reaching inn
portanCe to the Pacific Coast States.
The success which has attended the efforts in the
East to raise money to purchase home for the hero
in Washington will OF course stimulate Western
ardor in the movement for the monument, as Pacific
Coast people likely to let those OF the East
Guido them in the generous task of doing honor to
The victor OF Manila Bay. The prospect OF the move
nent is therefore bright from every point OF view and
with a committee OF such force to direct it there can
he little doubt it will 90 forward with rapidity.

repantng OF destroyed forests has been undertaken
IN the East. Pennsylvania we'll as New York has
become owner of forest lands and is experimenting
IN forestry on large scale. In Minnesota and Wis
consln, where rich pine regions have been made bare
either by the ak by fire. extensive replantng has
been done. In fact Minnesota has had her forestry
problems examined and reported upon by experts in
the science and the practice of planting and will
probably undertake the work OF renewing her forests
upon so comprehensive system as to serve as
guide and model for all other States where anything
like similar forest conditions prevail.
While most OF the States have not taken any not
able steps in the direction OF scientific forestry or OF
any adequate OF the forests that remain to them
yet in nearly all OF them the subject is engaging
the attention of earnest and thoughtful men. The
campaign OF education in favor of forest preservation
has begun TO achieve successes in all parts of the
Union The people beginning to understand
more and clearly the importance of the issue and
the urgent necessity of applying a remedy to the evil

THE TRANS MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS-

I HEN the Trans MISSISSIPPI commercial Con
w gress assemblies Tor its tenth session, which is
to be held at Wichita beginning May 81, it will
find before it wide range OF subjects to consider and
many issues along which it hope to do useful and
important work Under the call for the congress it is
said, indeed, the discussions are to be confined to
questions OF common interest to the territory repre-
sented but that leaves wide field for both oratory
and action.
The issues which will be taken up by the congress
are: Irrigation and the arid regions improvement OF
Western rivers water transportation transportation
facilities of the West our trade and how to increase
it, mining in the West, agriculture, national quaran-
tine statehood for the Territories, the Monroe doc
trine, homestead laws trusts and combines for
eign possessions the election OF United States Sen
ators and representation of the West at the Paris
position.
Such programme of discussion is calculated to
catch public interest in every direction. Many OF the
subjects are not OF be properly treated by
a commercial congress. There is no reason why time
should be taken up with discussions OF the Monroe
doctrine, foreign possessions the election OF
United States Senator's, and several others OF SINH
lar sort which in their nature are more political than
commercial.
II the congress by organized cooperation, or by
influencing public sentiment and shaping popular will
can do anything to improve the transportation faci-
ties OF the West advance the cause of irrigation and
forestry promote the enactment OF legislation which
will build an American merchant marine for the trans
port OF American goods to foreign markets, and
other measures OF similar nature, it will serve
much more useful purpose than it do by using its
sessions for academic debates every issue that hap
pens to engage any part OF public attention
In the official call for the congress it is announced
that the men to whom has been assigned the subjects
Tor discussion have made national reputation by prac-
teal work and laborious study of the several subjects
assigned them 1t is expected there will be present
the President OF the United States the Governors of
the several States and Territories and many OF the
members OF the National Congress. both Senators
and representatives, as well as some OF the leading
men from Hawaii.
Such gathering OF leading for the purpose
OF discussing great measures is nearly always bene-
fetal and is especially in country so vast as ours,
where the tendency to developing local patrotisms
and ideas is marked. Anything which helps to lead
the people regard the problems OF the time from
standpoint which comments broader outlook than
that of district interests is of conducive to the
better understanding OF such problems and to wiser
solution OF them What has been accomplished by
the Trans Mississippi Congress in the past is an evil
dence OF its genuine usefulness the West and it is
therefore fair 10 assume the coming session will re-
suit in considerable good

NEWS OF THE MINES.

The statistics of the mineral production
of the State for 1898 as compiled by the
Mining Bureau and published recently in
The Call became more striking and sig
nli1cant by a comparative showing The
record for five years shows a steady in
crease of approximately $20O0,O0 a year
during the past five years.
1t cannot be doubted that the ratio of
increase will be vastly greater in the flu
ture, beginning with this year. The total
of over S27 900 900 of raw material added
to the wealth produced by the State
makes the greatness of the industry
stand out in a prominent way. The total
is, of course, small compared with the
totals of the fifties, when placer gold ran
the record up to sixty or seventy mil
lions, but that was gold practically alone
Gold now is but little more than half the
mineral product, and there are thirty-five
other mineral substances produced COM
mercially in quantities worthy of record
The fact that the gold product of 1898
was practically the same as that of 1897

timated TO have caused shortage of
