her that they could not reassume thir iri-

At any rate she never wore the necklace

CALIFORNIA; BIG TREES
some Interesting Facts About The ir
Growth and Life


Washington, Sept. s-The department
Of agriculture has issued report on in
vestigations Of the big trees of Califor-
MIA that brings out some interesting and
new conclusions. 1t shows that the di-
mensions OF the big trees are enuqualled;
that their age makes them the oldest
living things. They are described by the
report as 'the grandest, largest, oldest,
and most majestically graceful of trees, -
and the scarcest of known tree species,
mith the extreme scientific value of be-
ing the best living representatives Of a
former geologic age.
The report says that the bark of the
big trees is almost two feet thick and
almost non-combustible. ''The oldest
specimens felled," it says, "are still
sound at heart and fungus is an enemy
unknown to 1T. Yet the big trees appar-
entity have not increased their range
since the glacial epoch. They have only
just managed to hold their own on the
little strip Of country where the climate
is locally favorable" Continuing, the
report says:
1.-THE only grove now thoroughly safe
from destruction IS the Mariposa. and
this is far from being the most inter
esting. Most of the other groves are
either in process Of, or in danger of, be-
ing logged The very finest Of all. tbs
Calaveras grove, with the biggest and
tallest trees, the most uncontaminated
surroundings and particularly all the lit
erary and scientific associations Of the
species connected with IT, has been re-
Gently purchased by a lumberman. who
came into full possession on April /. The
Sequoia and General Grant National
parks which are supposed TO embrace
and give security to a large part Of the
remaining big trees are eaten into by a
sawmill each, and the private timber
claims amount to a total of i.173 acres.
The rest of the scanty patches Of big
trees in Calaveras, Toulumne and Cou-
lare counties are now disappearing
the axe. In brief, the majority OF big
trees of California are owned by people
who have every right and in many cases
every intention to cut them into lumber"
The most recent Investigations, accord
ing to the report confirm the estimates
that these giant trees probably i've 5000
years or more, though few Of even the
larger trees are more than half as old.
The average rate of growth is estimated
at one inch Of diameter for every twelve
years. The report also corroborates the
statement Of one authority who says that
one tree. on which he counted 400o rings
was undoubtedly IN its prime, "swaying
in the Sierra winds when Christ walked
the earth"
The report states among other things
as the result OF the o. claI fnvestiga-
tons: THE only place N the world
where the big tree exists is in ten iso-
lated groves on the west slope OF the
Sierra Nevada mountains. The specias
however. represent a surviving pre-his-
toric genus Of trees once growing widely
over the globe The southern groves
show some reproduction, through which
there is hope Of perpetuating these
groves IN the northern groves the spe-
cies hardly holds SIS own

contain statement on the Burton
matter. giving the boys side of the
case. In this statement, which occu-
pies nearly two columns, the boys go
into details as to the late captains rec
ord. 1t shows that after the battle OF
Calumpit, April rs, 1899, charges We're
drawn up and signed by every member
of the company that could be reached.
These charges contained number of
items, one in particular alleging cow
ar,lice. Burton did not deny the
charges and the company asked that
they be investigated. Burton asked
that the charges be Withdrawn and he
would resign aud stay away from the
company pending 5he acceptance of his
resignation. Through the persuasion
of Lieutenant Colonel Miller and other
officers the company finally agreed to
this proposition. Burton left the COM
pany and Went to Manila, and so far
as the records show, remained away
for nearly swo months, during which
time most of the fighting in which the
company engaged occurred.

IT'S SESSIONS RESUMED.
Roberts Investigating Committee
Meets Again Today.

Washington, Jan. 4.-(By Associated
Press. )--The Roberts investigating
committee resumed session today for
the purpose of hearing arguments.
Chairman Taylor stated that the state
ment of n witness absent in Utah had
been received, but as Roberts declined
to admit it in an informal manner the
matter would have to be taken up lat
er. Roberts presented statement
tending to show that untrustworthy
witnesses had appeared against him.
Schroeder, the head of the Gentle
delegation here to oppose Roberts, then
opened his argument against Roberts.
The argument was largely technical
under three heads, viz: Whether Rob-
erts has constitutional qualifications
for election to the office; if so, wheth-
er he has impaired his status; wheth-
.er, if he has the statutory qualifica-
tions, the house has the power to es-
tablish certain other Qualifications. He
answered all these; in favor of thsxeN-
sclusion of Roberts. The commit tee
then took a recess.

Des Moines, Jan. 4.-The state board
of railroad commissioners, consisting
of i. A. Dawson of Waverly, ID. j..
Palmer of Washington, and Welcome
Mowery OF lama, reorganized yester-
day morning for the year 1900. Col
onel d. j. Palmer was unanimously
elected chairman to succeed Mr.. Daw-
son. Dwight y. Lewis, was reelected
secretary of the board, and c. f,
Boylap was reelected clerk. Yester-
day afternoon the board gave an au-
dience to the Cory. Coal company and
the Crooked Creek railroad. The case
is an old one in which the coal COM
pany accuses the Crooked Creek rail
road of making excessive switching
charges. Some time ago the board
held that the road had no right to
make switching charges against the
Cory Coal company, when none We're
charged of any other person or com
pany. yesterday the railroad appeared
to secure modification Of this decis-
ion. The board is also in receipt of a
petition from citizens OF Waterloo ask
ing for a ''y" to be put in at that point
near the iupction of the Great Vest
ern and Illinois Central roads. A date
for hearing this request will be made
later.

from William Hysha,n, of Red Rock,
Iowa, a stranger 10 him, asking him to
please recommend a nice woman who

would be just the person. Hys sham
wrote that he owned big ranch, and
forwarded credentials TO show that he
is man OF substance and good reputa-
tlun.
Miss Palmatier was consulted. She
was not anXio,is to marry unless she
could better her condition, hut agreed
to allow her name to be sent out west.
The, result was n correspondence be-
tween Miss Palmatier and the Iowa
man. and few days ago Mr.. Hysham
arrived in town and went 10 the Pal
matter farm. He has preserved Silence
about his wooing, but it is freely de
clased here that the Iowan will
