Against Timber Famine by Plans
Which Contemplate Addition of
Fifteen Million Acres

George w. Woodruff of the United
States department, of forestry, on a
tour of inspection of the forest reserves
of California, arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday and during his stay in this
part of the state will make his head
quarters at the Angelus.
Mr.. Woodruff has been in California
three weeks, having been sent to the
Pacific coast from Washington, D. c.,
by Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the bureau
II am surprised, as well as pleased,
at the marked increase in sympathy
which the people are now giving the
work of our department" said Mr..
Woodruff at the Angelus last night
''The change of view is remarkable.
Three years ago there was a common
belief, which California shared that
the government was seeking to take
the land away from the people, and
the hostility was open. My stay in
California has shown me that exactly
the opposite view is now held by all
except a few persons who have their
own peronal interests to further.
'The department of forestry has
| three objects in Withdrawing the great
stretches of land from private owner
ship. One of these, and perhaps the
most important to California is to
maintain a forest cover so that the
melting SHOWS and the winter rains
20
may be stored for summer use.
Forest Reservoirs
This state is largely dependent upon
such condition and nature has pro-
vided a better method than any thus
far invented by man. Three years ago
the people here on: the coast wanted to
know why we could not build reservoirs
give it away as it. was needed. They
| failed to realize that the silt would.
within a few years, fill UP the reser-
voirs, that huge amount of money
would thus be wasted, that sites for
such undertakings are difficult to find
and that even if reservoirs We're built,
the evaporation of the water inn
pounded would be very rapid. We
have found that brush and timber are
the best means for assuring storage
of moisture for the dry season.
another reason for the governments S
setting aside S5.00O00O acres for re-
serves is to provide against timber
famine. The acreage is now larger
than that of the New England and
middle states put together. OF this
amount, 2O,OOOOOO acres have been set
aside in the past six months and plans
are now on foot to make additions of
100000 more acres. These new re-
serves will be situated in Idaho, Colo
