:" EDWOOD CITY. Sept. 1s.-The
III days of the redwood trees
TX which have made famous
IN the valley through which
Pescadero Creek runs are
numbered. The principal owner of
the timber lands in the valley is limo
thy Hopkins. who purchased them twenty
years ago at an average price of about
So 30 per acre He and his associates
own the larger portion of a thickly tim
bered region more than eight miles long.
The land is situated directly south of La
Honda and beyond what is known as the
Alpine Ridge. The Spring Valley Water
Works Company owns $40 acres in the
neighborhood and with the old San Fran
cisco Water Company controls the prin-
cipal water rights of the Pescadero
Creek. There are also a few individual
owners of scattering parcels of land, but
the syndicate of capitalists of whom
Timothy Hopkins is the leader practically
controls the region. For twenty years
these capitalists have been holding the
timber and have neither made any eff
fort to market II themselves nor have
they been willing to sell to others. With
interest added the property now stands
them about SIS per acre, price higher
than much of the surrounding property
will bring in open market at the present
time
At last, however. the high price of lum-
Der has tempted the capitalists and the
first energetic effort is now being made
to place the timber of the upper Pesca-
dero Creek upon the market. The Cali
fornia Timber Company has been formed,
with H. L. Middleton. the lumber king
of Boulder Creek region, at the head OF
the corporation. This company has TAX
en- over the holdings of Middleton and
portion of the land held by Mrs. w. II.
Dougherty of San Jose. 1t is further un-
derstood that it either has or will control
the holdings of Timothy Hopkins and the
of her associates with him

WAGON ROADS ARE BUILT.

The company is the natural successor
of the syndicate which disposed of the Big
Basin grant to the State of California.
Having cut nearly all the timber in the
Boulder Creek region except that con-
tanned in the 1900 acres sold to the State,
the syndicate either had to quit business
or seek new fields. AS it happened the
Boulder Creek logging railroad reached
within a few miles of the San Ma,eo
County line and the headwaters of Pes
cadero Creek and all that was necessary
for the members of the syndicate to do
was to move their outfits over the ridge
separating Boulder Creek from Pesca-
dero Creek and to begin operations in the
almost virgin forest of the Pescadero.
This they have done. They have built
a fine wagon road across the San Mateo
County line and to point in the south
eastern corner of section % on Waterman
Creek Here they have installed one Of
the most complete lumber plants in Cal
ifornia
A dam has been placed across Water
man Creek and good sized mill
pond created. The mill is located on the
sidehiH above this pond. No longer are
the logs hauled to the mill by teams OF
gigantic oxen. good sized donkey en-
CINE at the end of a skidway is equipped
with two immense cylinders, upon which
wire cables are coiled. The light cable is
intended for hauling the heavy cable out
to the end of the skidway, which may be
a mile away up some gulch. The heavy
cable is then made fast to a row of inn
mense logs fastened end to end by iron
chains. A signal is given by the man in
charge of the log train, which at once
begins it's journey to the mill. AT GER
tain point the logs are uncoupled and
rolled into the millpond. A steam eleva-
tor quickly raises the logs to the mill,
in which they are rapidly cut into board
measure The mill has a capacity of
en O00 feet ner day.

CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

In the delicate and important task of ad-
ministering the forest reserves. which are 80
vitality necessary TO the well being OF indus
tries and communities throughout the West
the Government is constantly met by the de-
mands OF conflicting interests. In its endeavor
TO make the reserves as useful as possible to
all the people these interests must be most
carefully considered In the region about a
particular reserve, sheep grazing mays be the
most important industry, and therefore the
hrst TO be protected and conserved. In another
stock raising Of other kinds may predominaue
In the great majority the interests of the
small ranoher and the irrigator come first In
each case II is essential that the administra-
ton OF the reserve should meet the needs of
the people, and that each reserve should be
given its highest possible present usefulness
while protecting with the greatest care its con-
tinued utility TO the community The idea OF
permanent usefulness is fundamental in every
case.
The four great Embarrassing industrfes-Ium-
bering. building, mining and TRANSFORMATION
are peculiarly dependent for their future pros
perity upon a sustained supply of timber from
the Government forest reserves and special pro-
Visions must be made to meet their needs The
use OF the mature timber is often essential and
almost universally advisable in healthy grow
ing forest, and provision is made by the law
for its disposition to those who need it. This
use OF the reserves will grow steadily greater
and more essential time goes on and every
care should be takn 10 safeguard the young
growth for the future.

Al Interview With Leland
Powers

Mr.. Powers intended when a
young man that he should be a
civil engineer. He prepared
himself for Yale college with
that in view. But about that
time his father became embar-
rased in circumstances and he
was constrained to give up his
plans. He tried many ways Of
earning a living. He worked
at more trades and lines of
business than most American
boys.
He liked dramatic studies
but could not bear the actors
usual life about a theatre. He
also saw the bad effects of thea
ire on those who attended it.
If he could act without the ac-
cessories Of the stage, with its
environment, and could give
what was good in to the people
without what was bad, he felt
that that would suit himself
and would supply what was a
felt want to many. After
a heightened study in elocution
in a Boston college he entered
upon his career as an imper-
senator, as we saw him the
other night, which he has fol
lowed for about 18 years.
He has about fifteen plays
that he produces on the plat
form. Fourteen If them he
says he could give any
one of them, if just told which
before going into the hall. Thi'
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1903-11-26

is a great feat as there are
eight to ten different charact-
ers in each to be represented.
He has the confidence of men
of the best judgement who are
looking after the instruction of
the people as we'll as their re-
creation. Bishop Vincent of
the M. %. church brought him
before the Chautauqua audien-
ces.
Mr.. Powers works seven
months in the year. He has
about 100 engagements for the
winter in the western states.
In summer he resides at
Martha's Vineyard on a little
island near Cape Cod. He has
a very comfortable home there
and spends much time on his
yacht.
Every summer he ''gets" a
new play which he acts in the
! following winter. Some have
been written for him, others he
adapts. In conversation he ap-
pears to better advantage than
he did on the platform. The
empty stare of the Dude has
gone out of his face; the pride
of purse which old Mr.. Ingot,
the gold nugget man, shows SO
plainly has vanished also; nor
is he stately like David Garrick.
J He is simply a bright man who
has travelled much and rubbed
up against all sorts of people,
receiving in the process consid-
cradle polish as we'll as know
ledge of men and the world.
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1903-11-26

Besides his yachting he has
another hobby, that of collect
ing rare books and rare editions.
He liked what he saw of our
Missouri Valley people, and
from all we have heard they
liked him. Certainly he is an
example to our young men of
one who finding things rather
crowded in life, took careful
stock of himself and what he
could do, then made room for
himself before the public, by
supplying what he saw many
wanted, and in the safest and
best way he could.

Remarks Made by Teachers.

What excellent work these
teachers are doing! (Heard
while viewing the work at one
of the wards.)
We ought to have a whole
dly to inspect this work.

1t is really a treat for us
teachers Of one ward to inspect
tile work Of another ward. 1t
i; like visiting another school.
| am getting as much good
from this as got from the
association at Council Bluffs.
wish We could have some
township meetings.
Our county superintendent
makes a good chairman.
Mr.. GLENN talk was just
fine.
The music was a real treat.
| tell you those boys can sing.
How that lady did whistle.
Don't they keep the school
grounds clean and nice? Why,
| don't even see any paper
around the grounds at all.
The janitors seem so inter
c;ted in their buildings. We
owe them a vote Of thanks for
their courtesy.
Remarks about Teachers.
That teacher is just as hand
some as she can be when she
smiles. She should practice
smiling. 1t would have such a
wholesome influence on her
pupils.
Most teachers that attended
the county association dressed
in taste. | want my daughter
to have a teacher who dresses
in taste, though notexpensively.
Such a frown as that lady
wears. l hope she will not Sc
cure a position in the Valley
schools. She would make the
children feel blue. They need
sunshine.
How faithfully the Valley
teachers attended the different
sessions.
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1903-11-26

On Saturday we gave a re-
port of the forenoon session of
the Teachers Meeting. Itmight
be we'll to say today that the
afternoon session was equally
as interesting and profitable
as the morning session. Every
one was pleased with Mrs. East
mans talk on the mothers post
in educating the child, Tand all
were sorry she had to leave as
sooa as she did. Mrs. Anderson
took up the subject where Mrs.
Eastman left off and spoke to
the point. We like to hear the
subject discussed from the
mothers view point.
Mr.. Edgecomb discussed the
wage problem in a very practi-
cable way. Mr.. McGavrens
paper was read by the superin-
tendent of the city schools. He
thinks the wage problem is to
be settled, largely by the teach
ers. Make yourself worthy of
the profession and people will
eventually find you out.
Mr.. Arthur Of Logan would
have first class teachers for the
pupil during the adolescent
period. He thinks this would
give us more who would re-
main in school until graduation.
Taken all in all this was one
of the best county meetings
ever attended.
A Philadelphia mans life was
saved recently by a 100000 roll
of bills in his pocket from which
a bullet DETECTED. We have
been very careless, says the On
ava Gazett, in not taking the
precaution to carry large rolls of
bills and this instance brings us
to a realization of our danger.
We shall carry them hereafter.
