is their account that a Chinaman's actions

club is to preserve the redwood forests in and
about the Big Basin in Santa Cruz and San Mateo
Counties. Plans have already been formulated for
the invasion OF this tract by the Iumbermen 1t

apart a public park for the use of the people in

gress and the State Legislature to this end But
action by these bodies cannot be hoped for be-
fore next year, and by that time incacuiable
harm will have been done by the pioneer wood

the preservation of the largest trees is to secure
popular subscriptions in order to bond the land
The property is now held by about forty different
