" DITOR CALL: Sir-In a recent
Ii issue you printed an article in
regard to the bill introduced by
Assemblyman Jury. known as the
"Anti-Christmas tree" bill. With the
objects of such a law I have entire
sympathy. No one who has seen the
reckless spoliation of young redwoods
by the men sent out to get Christmas
trees by the thousands can fail to re-
joice that the California forests have
found friend.
But we have in this State many and
large forest reserves. In Germany the
foresters regularly sell Christmas trees,
which are carefully selected from the
dense thickets chiefly fir (the ideal
Christmas tree the world over). The
judicious thinning OF these thickets is
great advantage to the remaining
trees. The money obtained from the
sale of these "thinnings," which would
otherwise soon die out from lack OF
air and light, helps to SOW seed and
plant trees in the burned-over or open
districts.
The forest reserves of California can
easily supply the entire demand of the
valleys to the distinct Improvement of
the future forest. All that is therefore
needed is law making it a misde-
meanor to sell any cut tree unless 1T
bears authentic official certificate
showing that it has been cut under the
supervision of forest officer, on one
of the forest reserves. Put the enforc-
ing of this law in the hands of the
State Forester, with adequate powers
to enforce 1t, and the object aimed at
will be obtained, without destroying
the Christmas tree industry. 1t will
only be moved, in the main, from the
redwoods of the Coast Range, to the
FIR thickets Of the Sierra.
In this reserve we are now thinning
out FIR thickets with axes, so as to
give young sugar pines a chance to
survive in the fierce struggle for ex-
istence. AL the forest supervisors
would gladly sell this waste product,
so as to aid in the development of the
California reserves.

OF Interest To Farmers.

The agricultural department has
issued bulletin, the purport of which
it is that it takes more than one swal-
low to make summer. Swallows,
this bulletin declares, are invaluable
friends of the farmer, for they prey
upon the insetcs which are most harm
full to his growing crops. Especially
as a measure of protection against
the boil weavil in the cotton belts
swallows are recommended. Swallows
are not nearly as plentiful as they used
to be for they have been the victims
of INSCRIPTIONS English sparrows,
which drive them from their nests
and destroy their eggs and young.
The barn swallow doesn't thrive as
formely because the modern tight
built barn does not give him a refuge.
OF all swallows the martin is sup
posed to be the most valuable to
farmers, and the agricultural depart
ment would encourage its increase
and distribution by establishing boxes
or bird houses, and then removing
the young to the localities where they
are needed.

NEW BRONZE DOORS.
The models of the large bronze doors
designed for the main west entrance
of the Nations Capitol building, need
but a few finishing touches before
they are ready to be cast. These
massive doors will be nearly eight feet
in width and over thirteen in height.
They will replace the wooden doors
which have been at the west entrance
for many years. Provision to this
end was made by Congress at the
session before last and the designing
was started shortly thereafter, but
working out the details in the twelve
panels of each door has progressed
slowly. The bronze doors at the east
entrance of the Capitol represent the
discovery of America, and those at the
Senate and House entrances represent
the important happenings of the Ameri-
can Revolution and the forming Of
government and nation. The new doors
will tell the story in bronze of the
intellectual and physical progress of
the country; the apotheosis of the
United States.

EXPOSITION WORK
FAR ADVANCED.
Fisst Anniversary of Launching of Alas.
kA Yukon Pacific Fair Funds
Much Accomplished.

SpecialCorrespondence: = Seattle,
Wash, May 2l:- The first ami
versary of the incorporation of the
Alsaka Youkaon-P Pacific Exposition
occurred on May sth. Just one year
after fifty representative citizens of
Seattle formed themselves into
company for the purpose of holding
great world fair, the work of creating
the enterprise is far advanced and
progressing rapidly and smoothly.
The past exposition year which has
been full of important events, is look
ed back upon by the management
with qualification, as it has heen
devoted to, perhaps, the hardest
test of any that will be confronted,
the successful launching of the
worlds fair. From now on it will
be the aim of the management to
have every detail Of the exposition
ocmopleted for the opening day, June
l, 1909.
All preparatory work of the ex-
position is we'll under way. There
has been raised by the sale of the
capital stock and by state appropria-
tions the sum of $2,Os7, 200. Two
administrative divisions, exploitation
and works, have been thoroughly
organized. the plan of the grounds
has been adopted, and ground preak-
mig day, when activework will begin,
has been set for June 1st. Within
the years time the exposition and
the work for which it stands has
become known all over the country
and abroad, and the exploitation it
has received hsa resulted in many
states and countries signifying their
intention to take part.
Although the bill appropriating
s7OO, 900 for the participation of laska,
Hawaii and the Philippines passed by
the United States Senate did not get
through the house at the last session
of Congress, the senate's action
insures the passage of an exposition
bill early next session. A new bill
providi 6 for an expenditure of
81, 900, 600 for the exhibits and build
ings of the general government,
Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines
has been prepared.
Appropriations have already been
made by Oregon, California, Washing
ton Missouri, Utah and Pennsylvania
and the senate in Wisconsin has pass
ed bill appropriating $4,000. Ex-
position legislation is pending in
Illinois.
Many states which did not decide to
take part this year are expected to
pass hills at the next meeting of their
legislatures, and there are fourteen
other states, whose legislatures did
not convene this year, that will be
urged to participate.
With the breaking of ground on
June 1st, work in earnest will beign
on the identification of the site and
the erection of the buildings. The
first structures erected will be the
permanent ones called for by the
million dollar appropriation of the
State of Washington to be used after
the fair closes by the University of
Washington. The next buildings built
will be the large exhibit places State
buildings and minor exhibit structures
will not have to be commenced until
later. While the buildings are under
contraction the work of laying out
and beautifying the grounds will be
carried on.

MILEAGE BOOK
LAWS MODIFIED.
Purchaser May Use Coupons for Whole
Party and then Sell Unused Portion.

The sale of passenger transporta-
tion is now to be exactly like potatoes
are sold, as a commodity conveying
absolute title and transferable at the
option of the buyer. 1t is rapidly
becoming the common belief here
among government officials who have
to do with these matters that the
plan now being used on the New York
Central lines will have to be used
on all other railroads. This plan is:
A person may go to any New York
Central ticket Office and buy milage
book for two cents fiat a mile. A
800 mile book costs $40; 1000 mile
book costs $40. The conductor,
for instance, pulling" 200 miles
in coupons for the journey of man
and wife to Albany, distance of 100
miles from New York City. This
rule applies to every station on the
entire system. Furthermore, the buyer
may take with him anyone he wishes to
take, whether it be a member of his
family or not. For instance, if he
sees a friend on the train he may
instruct the conductor to pull twice the
milage for the distance the two are
going, or he may thus take as many
persons as the milage of their books
will carry.
On the New York Central branch
line the rate is two and half to
three cents mile, if ordinary tickets
be bought, but these two cent milage-
books are good on any part Of the
sysetm.
This rule is on the theory that pur-
chase of passenger transportation is
not merely personal contract limited
to being carried only as to the original
buyer, but rather it is the purchase
of a commodity, much as the pur-
chase of sack of potatoes, with the
feature of the contract to give safe
carriage to the holder of the ticket.
The commodity is to be consumed in
quantities and manner to suit the
wish of the original buyer.
There is disposition among legal
representatives of the Government to
hold that any railroad company could
be made to adopt the Central's me-
thod of selling passenger transporta-
tion without further legislation; but
it is the opinion of the majority that
to be proper, a law will have to be
enacted. making it plain above all
question that such is to be the rule.
At the present time the other
railroad companies require the de-
posit of sum of money in excess of
the price of a milage ticket, the ex-
cess to be refunded when the ticket
has been used. This keeps in the
railroad companies hands an immense
amount of money, of which they have
free use without having to pay in
terest. In the District of Columbia
all gass and electric companies are
compelled to pay interest on deposits
made by their patrons whom they
supply, and keep paying just as long
as the deposit remains there. This
is due to the construction of the laws
that it would be illegal to require
deposit without paying interest.
Before 10 years have elapsed" an
official said the other day, "every
road in the country will be selling
passenger transportation by the Gen.
trails method. 1t is the rational
manner and must become universal.
