TIMBER LANDS
NEED ATTENTION
Legislature to Be Asked
to Make a Suitable
Appropriation.
School Of Forestry May Be
Established at the
University.

Considerable influence will be brought
to bear upon the members OF the Legis-
lature at the coming session to make an
appropriation to establish and maintain
at the State University at Berkeley
School of Forestry.
The recent forest fires in Washington
and Oregon and even IN California have
destroyed thousands and thousands of
acres of timber land and no efforts are
being made to replant the timber. The
members of the California Club are now
advocating the establishment of the
School of Forestry with end to awaken
interest in the care and study of timber
lands in California. During the summer
just past hundreds of square miles of val
liable timber lands were devastated by
fire and unless something is done imme-
diately to protect and restore the timber
the land will become practically useless
as a timber-bearing section
Many young men are anxious to take up
the study of forestry if the Legislature
sees fit to make the appropriation to
establish the school in the State Univer-
sity so that the protection and refertiliza-
ton of timber lands will become a science
Those interested in the project have
drafted the following bill which will no
doubt receive the earnest consideration Of
the members of both houses:
An act to appropriate S25. eco for the estab-
lishment and support Of school of forestry
in the University Of California, and providing
for the payment of such appropriation.
The people of the State of California. repre-
sented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as
follows:
Section 1.-The sum of S25 600 is hereby ap-
propriated out Of any money In the State
treasury not otherwise appropriated, TO be used
for the establishment and support of a school
OF forestry in the state University of Califor-
mia. Ten thousand dollars Of said sum must
be paid on the 1st day OF July, 1903, and
fifteen thousand dollars on the 1st day Of July,
1904.
Section 2-The Controller is authorized and
directed to draw his warrant for the
mentioned in the preceding section, payable to
the order Of the treasurer Of the University OF
California. and the Treasurer OF the State is
directed to pay such warrants.

In paralysis and lOcOmotOr ataxia the

In electrical treatment it is important
that patients should be in the hands OF
physicians who have made a study of the
causes and effects of electricity. The
handling of the X-Ray in the right hands
brings splendid results. In the hands Of
inexperienced operators the contrary ef-
feet is felt. To-day there are many pay
sic!ans who have. X-Ray machines, but
there is a decided scarcity of expert Op-
orators.
The Electro-Chemic Institute wishes to
impress upon the invalid public the fact
that its physicians are men who have had
plenty of experience in general practice.
In general practice they developed ex-
treme ability for some special line OF
work. For this reason they have become
members of the Electro-Chemic staff. The
Electro-Chemic Institute makes this an
nouEcement in the public press because
they have founded their business upon
similar lines with the sanitariums of the
country. Electro Chemic promises of
cure are doubly good because they are
financially responsible to carry them our.

Electricity is one of the most import
ticn. 1t has made rapid transit possible;
It made mining feasible; it has been a
source of many comforts as well as
riches. In no other line has it given more
practical results and more satisfaction
tnan in the practice of medicine. 1t has
aided the work of every physieian-no
matter of what school of medicine. 1t
has rendered inestimable service to the
surgeon, and the rapidity with which it
has developed as a curative agent as
tounds those who are not familiar with
its working. Among the first physicians
TO practically apply electricity in the
treatment of disease were the founders of
the Electro-Chemic Institute; to them car
he credited the first cures of cancer. Rap
idly following their initial treatment the
use of the X-Ray in every part of the
country has been rapidly followed.
The medical journals TEEN with successes
gained by its use. The Electro-Chemic
Specialists being the first to secure re-
suits, have not rested in their efforts TO
keep in advance of all other practitioners
1t is thus that in the combination of cleo
tricity and chemistry in the Electro
Chemic X-Ray and Current they achieve
successes where many others have made
failures along somewhat similar lines.
The entire absence of pain in electrical
treatment and the ease of its application,
combined with its stimulating and reju-
venating qualities make the Electro
Chemic treatment advisable in cases of
chronic disease, where the patient may

Fire Commissioners Hecht, Parry and

which the five recipients made their ap-
pearance on the platform and were loudly
cheered. Mayor Schmitz proposed three
cheers for Captain Gillig, which were
given with a will. Gillig replied briefly
and expressed his thanks for the honor
bestowed upon him.

FRENCH SUBSIDY SHIPS.

The French bark Conetable de Rich
mont did a remarkable lot Of rambling
before she came to an untimely end on
the saw tooth shoals that once devoured
a French frigate. Weeks ago the Pek-
ing found her lettering in the China
seas, and though winds were fair
enough for other vessels to speed them
across the Pacific, it took the Comet
able de Richmont, new and fine ship
as she was, as much time to come half
way.
Was 1t the French subsidy, payable
for each mile of. ocean journey, which
kept the Richmont lacking aimlessly
around? 1t has been noticeable since
the subsidy went into effect that French
merchantmen have found it impossible
to make short voyages. They always
seek the long leg Of the course. light
breeze or dead calm is welcomed in
the hope that the one will subslde or
the other continue. In the Richmont's
case, If delay was the motive of her
skipper, it brought misfortune to all
hands. But in plenty of cases procrasti-
nation seems to pay.

FRUIT GROWING m HAWAII.

There is probably no man in the ISL
ands better qualified to speak on THE
Possibilities of Fruit Growing in Ha-
wall" than Byron o. Clark, the head
of the Wahiawa colonists. This was
the subject Of a paper read by Mr..
Clark at the last meeting of the Farm
ers' Institute held Saturday at Wahi-
ava. Mr.. Clark fully supports the
position OF the Advertiser-that there
are splendid opportunities for the small
farmer. Speaking from his own ex-
periencn Mr.. Clark finds that mangoes,
bananas, alligator pears and pineap-
pies are profitable export crops for the
small farmer, and he points out possi-
bilities in fruit growing which the av-
erage citizen of Hawaii seems slow to
recognize.
Mr.. Clark truthfully says that the
farmer in Hawaii has fewer pests to
contend with than the average agri-
culturist. a statement which the enc
mics of the small farmer movement
will no doubt criticise from lack of
comparative data. A war on pests,
which is the chief hardship, Mr. Clark
believes should be more successful in
an isolated country, like Hawaii, than
on the mainland, where that menace
to agriculture is being rapidly elimina-
ted. Immunity from frost is another
advantage which This country has over
Florida and California, and Mr.. Clark
is sanguine of tie ultimate success of
the fruit grower in Hawaii.
