Seoul, which, as l have said, has 300, 900
people, and it also includes an electric
railroad, embracing the principal streets
Of hat city and running a long distance
outside. The street railroad Is an overhead
trolley and its rails and rolling stock are
of the most improved American pattern.
Each car has two divisions, one open and
the other closed. The open part is for the
second class passengers, who pay lower
fares than those who ride in the closed
part. The cars are run by Corean motor
men, who are rather careless, but who, so
far, have killed only one Of the people
they have knocked down or run over.
The company which furnished the capital
is entirely Corean, with zee Cha Yum, who
was formerly Corean minister at Washing
ten, as president. 1t has issued about
$500, 900 worth of stock and Mr.. Col.bran
received a payment of 500 900 at the be-
ginning of his contract.
The road was originally planned to have
but six miles of track. 1t already has ten
miles and eighteen miles more are to be
put down. 1t now runs out through the
city, passing the palace, the chief business
houses and the foreign quarters and goes
on to the tomb of the empress.
Collbran and Bostwick have also secured
a bank concession and they are now put
ting up a handsome building in the center
of the city at a cost of 5000 yen. They
have a contract for waterworks in Seoul
and another for a short interior railroad.
They are enterprising men and promise to
make fortunes in this part of the far east.
Mr.. Collbran comes from Denver, where he
is we'll known in railroad circles, and Mr..
Bostwick is from San Francisco.

Indeed, the Americans are among the

FOREST RESERVES.
Mapping and Examination Of Forest
reserves In Arizona. New
Mexico and Utah.

WSRsCO anu OtaV.
An important work in the survey
and investigation Of the government
forest reserves by the United States
geological survey Is this season In
progress under Henry 0aMnett, geog.
rapher. II consists in the extension
Of Topographic surveys. including tri.
sngulation and spirit leveling, OF the
reserves for the construction OF maps.
and also in the botanic and economic
examination Of the forests to discover
the amount and variety OF standing
timber. the damage done by forest
FIRES and other existing conditions OF
the reserves.
Work this season has been directed
particularly to the reservations In
Arizona. New Mexico and Utah.
In Arizona the examination which
was commenced last year and carried
over the northern section of the San
Francisco mountain forest reserve Is
being continued to cover its southern
rortion. The total area OF this reserve
is 975.36o acres. like examination
Is being carried on In the Black mesa
forest reserve In the Wasatch and
adjacent ranges, with special reference
to the needs of the agriculturalist and
the protection of the water supply of
the streams flowing from the region
for the irrigation of lands i'm the valley
floors.
Assistants to the geographer in
charge are Messrs. +. q. Plummer.
Arthur Dodwell. Theodore +. Rixon
and II. y. Ayres.
The forest reserves OF the United
States arc established by proclamation
OF the president. the total area OF
land thus set aside is i6.s2S.449 acres.
distributed in fourteen states and
territories.
The object of reserving these tracts
OF woodland is not only to preserve
the forests, which are being rapidly
cut or destroyed by fire, but to insure
their permanence and increase their
value by scientific care and cutting. II
Is also OF the utmost Importance. es.
pecially In the west where water is
necessary for irrigation. to keep the
sources OF ,ne streams properly for
ested in order to secure steadlness OF
flow.
