CALIFORNIA; Big Trees.


Representative Kahn. the popular mem
Der from the Golden Gate. is anxious to
have Congress take some action which will!
preserve the big trees OF California. He
believes that a national park should be
established to include the forest where
the trees stand, and that they should be
looked after and cared fer as oae Of the
wonders OF me world. Public sentiment in
California is so strong that people would
not permit the trees to be hewn down and
destroyed but to ensure safety. the San
Francisco Representative believes that a
national reservation should be made of
the big tree forest.
Speaking of these marvels of forestry
Mr.. Kahn tells an interesting story of the
discovery of the big trees. Ahunter in
the early days wandered from the usual
trail and by accident came upon these
giants of the forest. He looked at them
with wonder and Amusement, and for
time could scarce believe his own exist
ence. He retraced his steps marking the
way. and journeyed back to the settle
ment. lie felt certain that no one would
be credulous enough to believe him If he
stated that he had found trees 300 feet
high and so, 80. or 100 feet in circumfer-
ence.
He was not sure but that If he returned
with such a narrative people would
not consider him insane; certainly he
thought they would regard him as a lineaI
descendent Of Ananias so he reported only
that he had killed a gigantic grizzly bear,
one so large that it would require five or
six men to bring in the beast. This proved
to be SO plausible story that five or six
men consented to accompany him to the
SpOt where he stated the hear Law Tfpon
reaching the forest the hunter pointed out
the enormous trees. and then told his com
panions why he had deceived them with
the story of the bear
