empted from the former riding test,

THE EUCALYPTUS

e. o. Faulkner Tours World on an
Important Forestry
Investigation.

LOS ANGELES, May 15.-After hay
ing circumnavigated the globe and
made Investigations of Importance to
the forestry interests of California, e.
o. Faulkner head of the tie and tim
Der department of the Santa Re Rail
road, returned today. His investiga-
tions in Australia will result in extern
sive eucalypti-growing experiments by
the Santa Fe on it's large ranch north
of San Diego.
Faulkner looked thoroughly into the
native woods of Hawaii, the Philip
pines and Japan. At a result of his
findings in Hawaii the railroad COM
pany purchased a large quantity of
ohia wood ties. His general conclusion
is that eucalyptus is the wood OF the
future for the State, where it grows
with less water and care than in Aus
tralia.
There is absolutely no question as
to its strength and durability" says
Faulkner. The best is the iron-bark,
but its growth is too slow for us. The
red gum forest red gum and the sugar
gum are good for railroad purposes,
and are grown here now, and there
are several other good varieties which
will be introduced on the Santa Fe
ranch. 1t may require twenty years
to determine the value of some"

ST. PETERSBURG, May 15.-The
Chinese legation here is in receipt of
a telegram from the Chinese society
at Khabayovsk, Siberia, complaining
of the arrest there of 200 Chinese res
idents because they were without pass
ports. The Russian authorities raided
the Chinese theater and imprisoned the

The Hawaii with only her captain
and crew on board left the harbor
yesterday afternoon for a spin out
side. She remained out all of last
night and this morning early was
seen off the harbor cruising along the
coast, headed to the southwark and
westward The committee did not
receive very much success in their ef
forts yesterday afternoon to raise mo-
uey, and unless it is forthcoming very
soon the yacht will not be in the
race.
Secretary McInerny stated this
morning that it was very doubtful if
the Hawaii would be able to go in
the race after all.
we do not intend to start her up
to San Pedro unless we have all the
money necessary on hand before she
| leaves" the Secretary said. she
will not go with the hopes that the
money will be raised after she leaves.
The money must be all in before she
| starts, or she will not go. 1t is very
hard to think that after all the trou.
bic we have had in arranging a race,
it will be impossible to have Hawaii
represented but that is the way
things look at present"
The committee wish to ask the pub
lie through the medium of the press
if they will not respond with theil
donations at once, so that the yacht
can get away on Monday of mex
week without fail. f. w. Macfarlane
L. A. Thurston and others are on
trying to get the necessary money in
and it is earnestly hoped that ever!
one will be liberal enough to donate
something no matter how small.
