MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Giant Trees of the Pacific Coast Have

Statements in the California papers
that the seQuoias have no commele c. al
value are apt to create surprise ST
all the effort that has been needed to
begin the work OF making these si-
ant trees public instead of private
property in order TO preserve them.
II they have sentimental value emily
10 great price should be asked fer
them. Indeed, that IS the argument

the Calaveras grove, with whom the

Hitherto it has been thrcatcui0r IN.
less his price was PAID to eoavert
the trees into lumber, when "eyery
lurlheTr'an knows that the trees are
OF no value for milling" says the San
Francisco Chronicle.

would take FIVE men es Gays 70 bore

trunk would have to be cut into 40
foot lengths to be serviceanle. A
block ri wood, say SO feet in dam
eter II 10 feet in length, would
weigh about 600 tons, and no ma
chinery has yet been built capable OF
handling it. No saw could work on
such q section, if it were possible to
pet it to mill, ard to split it with
dynamite, as Mr.. Whiteside once sug-
gested, would shatter the log and
spoil the lumber. IN other words, the
big trees are vastly too massive for
commercial use.

A Sad Bereavement.

her relief. While Mrs. Miller had
been in poor health for some time.
none OF her friends imagined she was
seriously ill.,

her most untimely death husband
and three little children, father IN.
Bruette), sister MAUD Bruette)
and two brothers, besides a large
number of dear friends.
The funeral took place Monday
under the auspices of the Knights of
Pythias. Every available vehicle in
town was called into requisition and
many were obliged to walk to the
cemetery for lack of conveyauces.
The ladies of Hawthorne rendered
appropriate music, and Mr. O. f.
Taylor read the services for the dead.
The grave was lined with white
cloth aud the casket covered with
profusion of flowers. During the
services the tears of relatives and
friends mingled over the remains of
IA dearly beloved, good woman.
