USES OF REDWOOD.

California Coast Product a Strong
Competitor Of Cypress.
In searching for a substitute for or
binary woods employed in construction
work. the supply OF many of which is
rapidly decreasing, 1t has been found
that the coast redwood forests OF Cal
ifornia offer a product which can be
put to excellent commercial use. Cal
ifornia redwood Is durable and its fine
working qualities make 1t a strong COM
petitor of cypress, and also adaptable
to many Of the uses to which white and
yellow pine are put. Redwood as sold
on the market may be the product Ell
Their Of the giant .sequoias or big
trees" the commercial utilization of
which has called forth great protest.
or OF the coast redwood. Cutting the
big trees would mean the speedy ex.
tinction of this unique and wonderful
species, which Is found only in isolated
groves and which reproduces only with
difficulty, says tie Boston Transcript.
The coast redwood Is much more plen-
tiful, and reproduces abundantly, so
that it Is good tree for the forester
to utilize for successive timber crops.
1t Is likely that the lumber trade will
encourage the use of redwood more and
more in the future, as comparatively
little practical use has been made of
the products Of these extensive forests
Of California up to the present time.
The use Of redwood is now about ~
per cent of the total consumption of
lumber. 1t is estimated that the forests
of California have about $4,000, 900 900
feet Of standing redwood timber and
the wise use of these products by con-
sentative numbering will in degree
make up for the greatly lessened sup
ply of other useful woods
The Redwood Association has recent
ly requested the forest service of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to make complete study of the
physical and mechanical properties Of
redwood lumber In order to obtain re-
liable information concerning its prop
critics. The forest service has decided
to comply with this request and will
conduct series Of experiments in CO.
operation with the University Of Cali
fornia at the testing laboratory at
Berkeley.
Redwood timber for long time has
had extensive use In California, but not
until recently has entered the eastern
markets Its use in the east thus far,
has been for shingles, finishing, floor
ing. siding and laths. 1t is probable
that in the near future its usefulness
as a structural material will extend be-
cause of the rising price Of the COM
moner eastern woods, and because Of
its durability and strength in compar-
ison with its weight. Its fire-resisting
quality Is another argument for its use
which has caused 1t to find favor in the
west. Citizens of San Francisco have
always held that the fire risk in that
city was less than in other cities, with
an equal number of wooden structures,
because of this quality of redwood.

Opponent,s Tribute to Grant.

Lieutenant General Longstreet, the
famous Confederate leader, few years
ago was the orator at a celebration In
Boston of the birthday anniversary OF
General Grant. He said in part:
"Of all the Union commanders he
was the great leader, who accurately
surveyed the great field of war, the
elements of strength and points of err
ror, and considered the vast meaIs SO
necessary to solve the problem. He re-
allied the Importance of covering the
granaries of the South, and applied his
early energies and talents to holding
Kentucky and Tennessee, moving swift
ly to the capture of Fort Henry and
Fort Donelson.
The soldier had the comprehensive
mind of the statesman. lie knew that
the South had neglected factories and
only applied its energies and labor to
improve agriculture; and bent his mind
and power to the same blockade of our
seaboard cities.
Il knew Grant as cadet, and from
boyhood to Mount McGregor, served in
the Fourth United States Regiment of
Infantry with him on his entrance into
active army life, and we were together
in Worth's division of SCOTS army in
Mexico, where he was known and es
teemed as one of its most gallant aud
promising young lieutenants. He was
on the staff of General Garland, my
father-in-law. Our first meeting in
combat during the internecine war was
in the Wilderness May 6, 1864, where 1
received his mark that must go with
me to the resurrection morn, but our
personal feelings and relations were
never changed. The first notice we had
of him in the late war was his affair
at Belmont in the autumn of 1861,
when l remarked of him that he was
the man of the North, who, if he came
to be known, was most likely to con-
quer, and to-day. l may say, that no
one but the subtle Lincoln could have
found him.
IF he could have been in Chicago In
May Of last year and witnessed the I'M
yelling of monument over the dead
Confederate prisoners Of war and could
have been with us at the dedication of
the national park at Chickamauga in
September last to witness the assem-
bling of the blue and the gray In cor
dial, fraternal greetings, he could have
known that his prophecy of peace was
not deluslye hope, but happy frui-
ton, mirrored In the expressions OF all
his countrymen. God grant the peace
prayed for in his generous heart may
spread her gentle wings to rest lightly
upon his happily united countrymen,
and may their devout supplications as
cend like incense for peace for the
faithful soul departed! Alleluial"
