the effort hat has been needed to be-
gin the WulI of making these giant
trees public instead of private prop

have sentimental value only no great

to the eastern owner of the Calaveras

In the first place. the San Francisco

such section, IL 1t were possible to
get 1t to mill. and to split it with
dynamite, as Mr.. Whitesf1e once sug
gested, would shatter the log and spoil
the lumber. In other words, the big
trees are vastly too massive for COM
