A Punctual Man.

A certain Mr.. Scott of Exeter, whose
business required him to travel con-
stantly, was one of the most famous
characters for punctuality in the king
dom. BY his methodical habits, com
bined with unwearied industry, he ac-
cumulated large fortune. For great
many years the landlord of every inn
in Cornwall or Devon that he visited
knew the exact day and hour he would
arrive, A short time before he died, at
the advanced age of 50, gentleman
who was making a journey through
Cornwall put up at q small inn at Port
Isaac for his dinner. He looked over
the bill Of fare, and found nothing to
his liking. He had, however, seen a
fine duck roasting on the fire. I'll
have that" said he. You cannot. sir"
replied the landlord; 'it is for Mr..
Scott of Exeter Il know Mr.. Scott
very WELL" replied the traveller. He
is not in your house" Very sorry"
said the landlord, "but six months ago,
when he was last here, he ordered the
duck to be ready for him this day, ex-
actly at O'Clock" And, to- the amaze
ment of the traveller, who CHANGED to
look from the window, the old gentle
man was at that moment entering the
inn yard, about five minutes before the
appointed time.-Harper's Round Table.

CONGRESSMAN DE vRIEs' sue
CESS.

Congressman De Vries telegraphed
to the Record Union on Saturday
news that will gladden. the hearts of the
friends of the Sacramento Valley, and
of the cause of the navigable rivers OF
California, which ought to be- the cause
of every section of the State.
In the dispatch which appeared in
these columns on Sunday, the Congress-
man informed the Record Union" that
the river and harbor bill, as agreed to,
and as it will go up to the House with
committee approval, gives for the Sac
ramento River work $4,000, which
makes with the sum on hand $4,000.
But it also authorizes immediate con-
tract for another $1S4.000. This then
puts at command S250,000 for river
work so much and SO speedily needed.
Our regular press dispatches in the
issue of Saturday say that the S1S4.000
appropriation is O. continuing con-
tract" order. If that is correct state
ment, if it means to convey the in
formation that the committee recon-
mends that the river be placed under
the continuing contract system, then all
has been accomplished that the most
ardent friends of the navigability of
the stream could hope for. Advice upon
that point will be awaited with great
interest.
But even If the continuing contract
system has not yet been adopted, and
the Government goes SO far as to order
a given sum to be Immediately ex-
pended on contract, it is fair to assume
that the continuing contract system
order will soon follow. and that by the
time the next Congress meets river
matters will be in such a shape as to
insure the Government treating the
whole river systematically from the
head of navigation to the delta, and on
the continuing system.
The success of Congressman De Vries
in this matter is very gratifying, since
he represents district more vitally af-
fected by river conditions than any
other, and having the largest volume of
commerce upon both the Sacramento
and the San Joaquin Rivers. The Con-
gresham is to be congratulated upon
the success achieved, as also all the
California delegation who may have
rendered him assistance, since they
could In no way whatever do more
good for their State by direct legisla-
ton for internal improvements than to
labor for the restoration of the naviga-
bility of the navigable streams Of the
State, and the correction and improve.

THE STEEL TRADE.

Andrew Carnegie, who has given us
so much of his temper concerning ex-
pansion, and is such a dismal prophet
when acquisition is mentioned in his
hearing. has a good word to say for
the outlook of the country as reflected
in the trade in which he is so prom
inent. He declared the other day to
a New York Times reporter that for
the steel trade the year 1899 opens
with richer promise than any of its
predecessors within his experience. He
says that neither Germany nor Eng
land can now successfully compete with
this country, and that the United States
alone will be able to supply the world
with the steel. essential to meet its
rapidly growing demands and necessi-
ties.
/ am satisfied that the increased
wants of the world for this indis-
pensable article-steel-the foundation
of SO many articles-are to be supplied
by the United States. and by the Unit
ed States alone. The production of
Great Britain is now up to it's maxi
mum. Its supply of ironstone this year
is less by 100000 tons from abroad
than it was last year. It's domestic
supplies are drawn upon to the utmost.
Britains capacity for making coke is
also stretched almost, If not quite, to
the utmost. Any future increase of
that essential article must entail high
er cost. Coke is costing the British
manufacturer to-day nearly $4 a ton,
and coke of the best quality can
scarcely be got at all by manufacture
ers who have still to purchase.
In addition, Mr.. Carnegie said that
German prices for steel are so high that
even against a tariff of $50 ton
some products Of steel are entering
Germany from America He would like
free trade, of course, under which he
thinks we would commercially control
the world, but taking things as they
are, and barring some wholly unex-
pected and startling change, we can
meet the requirements of the world in
the future for steel. In fact. he says
"the future is in our hands,
Increased wants, he holds, must grow
year after year, and it is this increase
wlrich the steel factors Of the United
States are to supply. Our American
manufactures of steel will eventually
go abroad, according to Mr.. Carnegie,
to mudh greater extent than raw steel
itself, for steel carries with it suprem-
acy in SO many branches. Cheapest
steel means cheapest machinery, the
cheapest ships and thousand other
cheapest things"

THE FORESTS AND THE WATERS.

Through call issued by the Miners
Association there has been held meet
ing in San Francisco by representative
men accredited by various mining, COM
mercial and business bodies, educational
and similar organizations, to consider
the question Of the conservation Of the
waters and forests of the State. The
meeting appears to have been singu-
Larry harmonious and unanimous as to
purpose and the means of achieving
that purpose.
The Judgment of the gathering was
that there is woful waste of timber
and natural water flow in this State;
that it will be the part of wisdom to
investigate the subject and inquire into
all the facts, and have a skilled COM
mission report wherein there is waste,
the cause and the remedies which
should be applied. A permanent organ
izatiou was effected. and it's petition
now is that an unsalaried commission
be erected to examine into the matter
and report fully to the next Legislature
and that meanwhile $1,000 be given
TO the University of California to facili-
tate its forestry inquiry and study.
Probably no more important subject
concerning internal interests has been
brought up for years. The saving of
our surplus waters the protection of
our forest lands are matters of vial
Importance. The latter very largely
operates upon the former We will have
growth along the fanks of the hill and
mountain, ranges and in the greater
attitudes also is protected from reck-
less and indiscriminate leveling. The
Federal Government has done a good
deal in protecting its reserves. but
there Us far more to be accomplished
than it is likely to undertake.
The protection of forest growth en-
gagged the attention of the Record
Union" many years ago, and during one
long period it devoted much time and
labor to independent investigation of
our forest conditions and the agencies
which by forest destruction We're and
still are threatening the water supply
of the State, the navigability of the
rivers and the cultivation of the soil.
1t iatters itself that the publication
of the results of that study, and the
maintenance of a steady and aggressive
position in favor of greater attention
being givensto the subject, is now bear
ing fruit. The public spirited man who
have taken hold of the question and
formed an Organization which proposes
to have a searching investigation Of
conditions made, deserve the thanks of
the public, and ought to have the corr
dial and respectful assistance OF the
