IDAHc's CANNED TICKET.

IDAHC'S CANNED TICKET.
AS an expression of esteem and ad-
miration for Theodore Roosevelt, and
as a mark of approval for his policies,
the Republicans of Idaho in state con-
vention assembled have named for re-
election to the senate Senator Hey
burn. one of the most persistent
opponents of Roosevelts policies.
Further. from partisan reports, it is
inferred that the Idaho Republic
cans indorse Heyburns hostility 10
the presidents forest reserve policy
and approve enthusiastically of the dis
position which has been made of the
states most valuable timber lands on
the advice and counsel of another Idaho
senator. Needless to say, the conyen-
ton proceedings contain no reference
to that great and widely-heralded
movement inaugurated by the president
for the conservation of the nations re-
sources, possibly because some good
timber lands yet remain to be absorbed
by the lumber interests which have
done so much to promote the cause of
Republlcanism in Idaho.
Altogether, the convention was a joy
Gus occasion, an inspiring sight for the
plain people whose interests have been
guarded so carefully by Hepburn and
Borah and Brady. The principal NOM
nations had been made in advance of
the convention-as is proper in any or
thodox Republican convention these
days; and the slate. with one exception.
went through with a precision and
smoothness quite as beautiful as the
operation of Mr.. Hitchcock's famous
road-roller in the Chicago ratification
meeting.
Mr.. French, who was supposed TO
have sure thing for denomination to
congress, was dropped down the ele-
vator shaft with the celebrity and indif-
ference to the victims feelings which
characterizes Idaho politics. Just what
hit him does not appear in the pub
lished reports, but it was sufficiently
effective
Whether the people of Idaho will be
as unanimous in electing the nominees
remains TO be seen. In the meanwhile
it is worth noting that Mr. Hepburn has
views of his own as to the questions on
which a convention may be permitted
to act. AS he sees it. state conven-
ton may properly name him for the
senatorial seat. but it may not commit
the party TO local option or direct vote
or any other issue on which he fears
the result of a popular vote.
Encouraged by dissensions among the
Democrats, the Republicans of Idaho
are naturally elated over their prospect
of victory. Possibly as the day of judg-
ment approaches they may have occa-
sion to restrain their joy; certainly
there is nothing in the personnel of the
ticket, or in the platform
drawn by and for the large special in
terests of the state which are profiting
by Republican domination. to excite
among the voters.

 on the slopes, 227 feet 's about the maximum length, and 10 fnet is great est diameter, while on the flats. under better conditions, the tree grows to be $50 feet high with diameter Of 30 feet, and occasionally giants exceed thls, Most of the redwoois arc from 400 to 800 years old, Tho oldest tree scientifically measured was 1,400 years. After the tree has passed 800 years lt usually begins to die down from the top. It has a straight, slight ly tapered trunk, without limbs for more than 100 feet, and crown of horizontal branches that may occupy a third to a half of its length, The roots strike downward at sharp an- gle and are SO large and 90 numerous that they form compact mass. The bark is of reddish gray color. nbrous in texture, gives 10 the full grown tree futed appearance, and offers such a remarkable resistance to fire, that, except under great heat, 1t Is not combustible. Insects do 1t little harm, the wind can scarcely uproot 1t, and fungi seldom affect it.
 A drive through tho forest makes man a plgmy. Their proportions are perfect and gradually as you look and see the comparison of size with tho objects around you. they swell and swell until In the midst of such grand eur. such subllmity of Nature, how insignificant one feels himself to bel!

 Starting from n base lost in a bed ot ferns. we follow the great furrows plowcd in tho red. green stained bark, to the sturdy limbs with their feathery leaves. The branches start direct, but at the ends sweep downward as trough embracing the trunk. Here Is size, dignity. and stiffness.

TREE IN THE COUNTRY.
The sequoia in Northwest California.

Ihe Se1uOiH III NDrtnWeSI NnIlIOrni0,
 The sequoia here in Humboldt Is the tallest tree in the whole United States But the tourist from the east or west knows fl not. What would he say to the information that in the northwest of California grows mighty contin- uous forest of the great trees apl that it takes days to travel merely from end to end of that forest which Is long CT than the distance from Boston to New York, or from Chicago to St Louis. Yet such Is the case.
 On the ridges and flats of Humboldt is the forest, and of that forest. the trees grow to 26 feet in diameter and tower 100 feet in the sky Do you know what those figures mean? Meas ure the room in which you are now sitting If it is very large room the longest dimensions would just contain about one of these great trunks. Look out of your window and see the people more than a city block away, That Is the distance from which one sees the topmost bough of these stupendous giant.
 The redwood of California is the great tree of the Pacific coast Two thousand acres of 1t exist in oregon along the Cheteo river. South of the Chetco a continuous redwood belt be- gins and increases in widths from ten miles, at Del Norte county to IS or 20 miles, and keeps on unbroken to south ern Humboldt county. Here Is gap, but in Mendocino the belt becomes dense again, and widens out to 35 miles. South of that county the tree grows in isolated patches.
 The climate and topography of north ern. California have brought about this limited distribution, North and south along the coast. in nearly parallel ridges, lie the mountains of the coast range, steep and rising to attitudes of 1000 to 2oO0 feet. few large rivers, the smith Klamath Mad. Eel, Russian and many smaller streams cut through them to enter the sea, and along thel. courses, in places, are broad bottom lands and gentle slopes.
 
 West of the coast range, the climate is even and moderate with a tempera- ture running from just below freezing to 30 degrees. Snow lies on the tops of only the highest ridges. Thirty to SO Iinches of rain falls in the autumn and winter; and during the summer sea fog bathes tho coast
 But east of the mountains. less than 30 miles from the sea, lie hot interior valleys. never visited by fog, parched and rainless in summer, and wet only occasionally by the winter rains-con- ditions too unfavorabl to permit the growth of redwood It requires very little from the soil, except that 1t be moist, It is so dependent on moisture of the air, that this factor mainly or wholly determines it's distribution and the eastern limits of the forests are de- termined by the distance inland to which sea fog may drift
 There are two types of the tree that which grows on the hillsides, and the second which grows on the flats along the rivers and streams. The usual type Is that of the slope that is the growth found on the steep sides of the coast ranges, and side by side with the redwood, grow other trees
