NOTHING BUT TREES
GREAT FOREST STILL REMAINING
Primeval Wood Reaches From Mexico
to Aiaska-cedar, Fir. HemIock,
Pine and Spruce.

In his article on THE Conquest OF
the Forest" in the May Century, Ray
Stannard Baker makes some very sur
prising statements in regard 10 the still
standing forests of North America He
says:
Nowhere else in the world is there
such forest as this. A few steps in
any direction from the roads of the log
gers brings one at once to the prim-
eval wood.
Turn to the north. A thousand and
five hundred miles you may wander, if
you will, and never escape the inclosing
silences of this wood. Across the Brit
ish possessions, through endless
reaches of mountains, snowcapped in
accessible, and onward to Alaska, moth
ing but trees and trees-redar, fir. hem
lock, pine and spruce. Turn to the
south. For a thousand miles of Sierra,
through the heart Of California, where
grows the sequoia, the monarch among
trees, to the very deserts of the Mex
ican border, and you will find this for
est still covering all the hills thick, ST.
lent and all but undisturbed A con-
tnent long is this wood, facing the
Pacific. here two hundred miles wide.
from the waters edge across to the
heights of the Cascades and the Sier-
ras, there narrowing to thin, strag-
Cling, yet persistent growth along the
mountain tops.
This tree before you, rising two hun
dred and fifty feet in air, straight and
| strong, hick-coated with brown bark,
Its mighty base setting firmly in the
earth, its roots gripping deep, was
| growing before Columbus saw America.
Five hundred years has it been stand
| ing here, raising its head to the sky.
What storms has it bent before; un-
der what ages Of sunshine has 1t
gained strength; what lightning strikes
have threatened it; what sweeping
fires! And still 1t stands with the sub
lime majesty Of age and strength, fear
full Of nothing-and the sound of the
axes knocking in the valley below!
But long before the seed of this hoary
giant was Sown to the wind, forests
were old on these hills. For fifty thou
sand years and more have these noun
tains been forest clad, one forest ris-
ing five hundred years from youth to
maturity, sinking away in ripe old age
/, and giving room to another generation
of trees; Deep in the earth to-day lie
some of these ancient forests, changed
/ by the slow chemistry of the ages into
coal, and now at last beginning to give
out for men the sunshine which they
stored up centuries before the begin
ming of history.
We hear much of the magnitude o1
western numbering operations. Truly
they are great and wonderful and YET
SO vast are the forests that men have
barely notched the edges. An eye thai
could see the continent length woult
hardly perceive the puny cuttings %
the few loggers among the great trees
though he might see the blackened eyi.
dences of the forest fires.

The committee on rural schools

considered the subject of taxation
for school purposes and recommend
ed that separate county districts
should be empowered to levy furth :
er taxes for the support of the rural

that the county superintendent be
elec ted by the boards of supervisors
and that he should receive mini
mum of 5000 and a maximum of
el500, with a discretionary expense
account of $500 per annum, also that
he might be elected from any where,
instead of the election being con-
fined to a citizen of the county. 1t
was believed by the committee that
this plan will take the Office out of

class of officials. The committee ad-
iourned to meet at West Point

will be had at 1880, and that the oil,
