and applied to forest purposes. To work upon narrower lines would be 10 reduce so-called national system to serving, to large extent, merely local purposes at various points where bodies of land may be set apart as reserva- ti ons.
 Under existing forest legislation the condition of affairs at this time presents the anomaly of the govern ment setting apart certain isolated tracts of land and: :bestowing-upon them national protection, while abandoning the great sweep of its confines to these 60, ,OO0,OO0 acres which form in fact but small part of the vast regions de- pendent largely upon such natural res- ervoirs. The lands already settled upon in Southern California, for instance, need such provisional care on the part of the government to facilitate the de- velopment as truly as do the arid pub- lie lands of Arizona to make possible their settlement.
 While the work of this office is con- fined to the care and disposal of public lands the fact must not be lost sight of that proper care of the forest and portions of such lands should so ex- pand the work at that point as to ex- tend it's benefits far beyond the limits of the public domain. It should, &C., cordingly, in connection with forested lands be placed in a position to work upon policy as broad and far-reach- ing in extending such system as will protect all our forested lands. In the face of the known facts respecting the waste from fire and pillage and other sources that is rapidly reducing our forested area, there should be no delay in authority for the withdrawal of such timbered regions as the secretary should deem proper.

GOES THROUGH A BRIDGE
Accident toa Train at Tempe. Ariz.-
 Two Victims

Tempe, Ariz.-The Maricopa and Phoenix mixed train, which connects with the Southern Pacific at Maricopa for Los Angeles and San Francisco, broke through span of the bridge over Salt River at Tempe, Wednesday night, the engine, two freight and one loaded stock car dropping into the bed of the river twenty feet below. The Pullman hung suspended from the bridge, one end hanging over the break.
 One Indian was killed, and Fireman Frank Goddard was injured, but it is thought not seriously. The engineer escaped by jumping, as he felt the bridge giving away. That the train had an unusual number of freight cars is all that saved the Pullman passen- gers from taking the drop. Superinten- dent Porter, with corps of men, made up the train from Mesa, and the pas sengers, none of whom received more than a severe sl,aking-up, were taken on their way without the loss of time or connection.

WHERE CALIFORNIA OIL IS FOUND The United States Geological Survey
 Traces the On.Bearing Strata

During the present season G. H. El- dridge, of the United States Geological Survey, has been engaged in careful examination of the petroleum fields of California with view to discovering the source of oil. These fields lie in the Coast Range and alongside the great Central Valley of the State, but thus far their chief development has been south of the parallel of San Fran cisco. In order to locate their source it has been necessary to study the gen. eral geologic features of the Coast Range and Central Valley, and espec- ially the oil-bearing formations them- selves and the structural conditions in the areas in which they are found.
 Although the work is yet incomplete, several important results have been es- tablished, one of which is tine presence of petroleum of from Il to 42 degrees Baume in series of strata at least 25, ,OOO feet thick. A second result of the investigation is the separation of this series, or lithologic or paleonto- logic grounds, into nearly dozen dis tinctly recognizable formations, chiefly of Tertiary age. It is important to note that petroleum was fo und under many structural conditions, yet nearly all seemingly in harmony with the anticlinal theory. The technical and economic uses of the California petro- leum, particularly in it's application as fuel, will also be considered in the course of the work as planned.

BRAZIL AND CHILE
They Favor Forming a Coalition of
 South American States

A dispatch to the London Times from Vienna, says: According to an inter- esting communication from Rio Ja- neiro, published in the Poltische Cor respondenz, the visit paid by the Chilean naval squadron to Brazilian waters in August assumed the almost unmistakable character of demon- stration in favor of coalition of the South American states against any desire upon the part of the United States to exercise tutelage over them or interfere in their affairs.
 The occasion was the removal to Chile of the remains of three Chilian ministers who had died at Rio Janeiro during the year and enthusiastic ex- pressions of friendship occurred daily. The writer considers tLis circumstance worthy of attention, in view of the bitter feeling now prevailing in Brazil against the United States, inasmuch as they show that iuss many of the.South American: republics there is growing sense of solidarity of interest against the North American union.

Save the Forests

The annual report of the commission CT of the general land office contains the following vigorous recommenda- tions concerning the preservation of forests in the interest of future irriga- tion:
 Irrigated agriculture, ass. representing the leading industry in the future of vast portion of the country, and in particular of the arid region, is rapidly forcing to the front the question of ir- rigation as one of the great national issues of the day, since without water there can be no agriculture. and:in like manner the need for irrigation is equally forcing to the front the ques- tion of forest preservation, since with out forests there can be no water. Forests are an essential factor in any scheme of irrigation of sufficient mag nitude to contemplate the reclamation of our six or more millions of acres of irrigable lands which are now arid.
 Unchecked confagrations and the inroads of numbering companies are rapidly sweeping bare these unreserved lands, while with full knowledge of the fact this office stands powerless to check the evil, and clearly until the policy of withdrawing lands and plac- ing them under a forest force is adopted, such must continue to be the case. ConHagrations which would be prevented or checked in their incipi- ency by forest guards are now in the main given full sweep, while corpora tions and others have practically little or no limit placed upon their spoila- tion of public timber lands.
 The proved efficiency of forest sys- tenn, in protecting and administering the reserves that have been set apart leaves no room to doubt the advisabil- ity of maintaining it. The future of these vast areas depend upon our sav- ing the remainder of our public forests and every acre of what may be rightly termed "forested land" should be saved

In State of Unrest

Gibraltar. In view of the disturbed conditions in the interior of Morocco considerable interest was manifested in the departure from here of Commissioner Landerman of the St. Louis exposition. who started Ter Tangier' and Fez to enlist the interest of the sultan of Morocco and secure an important Moroccan exhibition at the fair.
 The fact that Mir. Landerman is vice consul general at Tangier and that he is familiar with Morocco and the friend of influential officials, enhance his chance of success.
 The latest reports from the interior indicate state of serious unrest which it is believed, may break out , into rebellion and an attempt to in- stall Mulai Mohammed as sultan. The present sultan, Mulai Abid Asmsiz, has incurred the enmity and suspicion of his subjects by the introduction into Morocco of English advisers and inven- stions, including telephones, automo- lbiles and narrow guage railroad.
 A letter received from George C.. Reed, a Kansas missionary at Mem ouines, with several other Americans, indicates that numerous interior tribes have broken out. The roads, it is added. are infested with bandits and travel is decidedly unsafe, native sen- timent taking the form of general anti-foreign crusade. Fanatics have turned up the survey flags marking the line of the suItan's railroad, de- claring that they were emblemsaof tor eign suzerainty over Morocco. Mr. Reed continues: Dol)

So far as the actual results ola law
like this would be concerned it would
not affect a half a dozen exjudges in
the State of Maryland and the sum
of money that it would take to put
this plan into actual operation would
be enthusiastically small when
brought down to the amount that
each taxpayer would be compelled to
contribute. Certainly there are
many points favorable to the law
when considered in a calm and im-
passioned manner.

no possible benefit to anyone except
the middle man. At the time that
tomatoes are ready for delivery, if
the market is below the price named
for futures, the goods will be rejected
on some technical grounds. Should
the season fail and the price go up
the packer is compelled to make good
the deficiency at the low figure he
agreed.to deliver the goods. ltwould
be far better for the Gamers to make
their financial arrangements with
some reliable brokerage firm and sell
their goods when they are ready for
delivery.
Another great mistake that our
Gamers make is, that whenever the
price goes up a little they at once
commence packing the goods in such
quantities as to glut the market.
Very frequently as much in profit can
be gained by half the work if all per-
sons who IRE in the business would
be little more conservative. We
do not favor trusts or combinations
but as every other large business
seems to recognize the advantage of
the adjustment of competition, it
would seem that the Gamers could
we'll afford to get in line and have
some understanding among them
selves about prices. Whenever goods
are sold below the cost reproduction
somebody has to suffer and in every
instance it is the farmer who raises
the tomatoes or the Gamer who
packs them or both. The consumer
gets none of this advantage for the
ubiquitous middle man sees that
the selling price is raised to allow a
full profit over the production. The
last twenty years has afforded our
packers an opportunity of learning
several expensive lessons. 1t is now
nearly time that they commence to
profit by these experiences.
