for Three Weeks. Says Greedy.
San Francisco, April SO.-With no i'm
mediate prospect that conditions will be
so normalized that the community will
be able to feed and take care Of itself
for several weeks, the citizens commit
tee to-day began to plan some way to
provide against a failure of supplies.
Mayor Schmitz informed the general
committee to-day that 700 carloads of
food and supplies had been distributed
since April IS, and transportation lines
had information Of only 1903 cars now
on the way.
IF" said the mayor this informa-
ton is correct, we will soon be worse off
than we were week ago. If the in
formation has gone abroad through the
country that we are amply supplied, it
is most unfortunate. 1t is not even
known how much money we can depend
upon with which to purchase supplies,
for you have heard from Mr.. Phelan
that a part, at least of this money sub
scribed by individuals or companies In
the east is disbursed through private
agents here. While 1t is true that con-
tributions of money will be very much
more to the purpose than contributions
Of supplies, 1t should be Noticed to the
world If the one is not available the
other will be most gratefully received
Chairman Phelan, of the committee
on finance, said he had as yet received
no reply to his telegram to Secretary
of War Taft asking what the relief
committee might expect out of the fund
of $250O,OOO appropriated by congress.
He had information, however that the
100000 transmitted Saturday by Secre-
tary Taft was given by him as presi-
dent of the National Red Cross, and
was not a contribution from the gov
eminent.
Basing his calculations on reports re-
ceived within the last twenty-four
hours, General Greedy to-day said that
the entire available food supply, includ-
ing shipments on hand and those en-
route, would be sufficient, under the
new ration plan, for the present desti-
tute population for twenty-one days.
The distribution of supplies in Oakland
will be conducted on the same basis as
In San Francisco.

San Francisco Fund Amounts to
Over $4,000.
The meeting of the Chamber Of Com
merce held last evening in Chamber o.
Commerce hall, 767 Chapel street, was
one of the most interesting meetings of
the year.
The chamber made somewhat of de-
parture in that after a short business
session the whole evening was occupied
by addresses. on the. conditions of for
estry in the United States as compared
to other countries. This subject has
grown to be of vital interest to the
country and the chamber is showing a
deep concern in its solution.
In the preliminary business session
George P. Prentice was elected to men,
bership and the resignation Of three
others were accepted. They are
Charles H. Fischer, J. J. Hart and Ed
ward Munson. Various minor matters
were referred to committees. Secretary
Gallagher then gave a report OF the
funds raised by the chamber for the
relief of San Francisco sufferers. This
repart showed that total of $6ll4'l2

The principal address of the evening
was by Austin e. Halves, the state for
ester on United States and Connecticut
forest reserves. The lecture was illus
trated with lantern slides. Mr.. Halves
showed a chart, according to which II
appeared that while the United States
and Canada had = greater acreage OF
forests than Europe. the percentage
under government control there was
much greater than in this country Inc
European methods are much better
than those used in this country and
the forests are assource8of great reve-
nue. to governments like Russia, Ger
many and Austria.
The objects of forest reservations is
to produce the greatest possible amount
Of timber. In the United States there
is no forest producing so much as 1t is
possible for it to produce. 1t will take
a long time to get it into such a con-
d!.ion. The amount cut in European
forests is limited. Various methods
of numbering are use. One method is
for foresters to go over and mark cut
tings. A still better method Is the So
called clean cutting. In 10000 acres only
part is cut each year so as to allow
parts previously cut to grow again
Many of these countries receive a reve-
nue. from these forests. In some cases
inhabitants do not have to pay to sup.
port local government, so large is the
income. Wood is carried out OF the
forest in such way as not to injure
underground.
Europe learned the lesson from Asia
who did not car for forests, and is now
without them. Europe has fought
against this condition. AT the time of
the French revolution many forests
were cut off and it has taken many
years and much expense TO regrow. The
French government had to do this be-
cause the denuded forests were OH the
