LUMBER SUPPLY

To supply California, the southern
half of which has been badly denuded
of its original forestration, with an
abundance of timber; to aid in the in
crease of rainfall over dry area
which is destined in the near future
to be called on to support an immense
population; to supply more than H.
100000 ties yearly to the railroads OF
the United States, and, last, but not
least, to furnish a perpetual bee pastu-
rage for hundreds Of apiaries-these,
all these, are the things which are
beginning to be written in the history
of one tree in southern California.
That tree is the eucalyptus, Of many
species and the lumber from which
has but lately been discovered to
possess qualifications for use in GER
tain industries possessed by no other
tree, wild or dometic, known to man.
As mere beginning of this plan
the Santa Fe Railway company has
bought 10000 acres of land in San
Diego county, California, and is plant
ing it as fast as possible to young
eucalyptus trees six or eight inches
tall. Several hundred acres of this
vast tract have been set out already,
and fully ninety-fye per cent Of the
trees have taken hold In good shape
and shown signs Of growth.
One of the most interesting things
about the Eucalyptus is its varities,
Of which there are at least $50 good
species, with probably a third as
many sub-species which are not COM
monty listed in the catalogues.
They grow to be of great size; in
Australia individuals of some varie-
ties have been known to attain
heigth of 800 feet. In California,
where trees were planted about some
Of the old haciendas forty years ago,
they are still growing and their ulti-
mate size is entirely problematical

is THERE COAL UND-
Err ASTORIA?
FINE SPECIMEN OF Ignite
DUG FROM HIGH MUNICIPAL
GROUND BY CONTRACTOR
E. A. GERDING, YESTERDAY.

A prominent and interested citizen
came to this office yesterday morning
and deposited piece OF good Ignite
coal on the editors desk. The editor
was glad to see both the man and the
coal, because he knew the man would
not have brought the coal along if
there were not a story connected with
lit. Said this good citizen, in response to
the mute appeal in the editorial eye:
This is sample OF coal just found,
in the cut on Irving avenue, by Con-
tractor E. A. Gerding. 1t is not
enough to fire steamboat, but it is
an indication OF what may be beyond,
and below it or in lands adjacent
thereto.
Il hope the Clatsop Fuel Company
may be encouraged, by this find, TO
prosecute its explorations at an early
day and feel that it will be amply
repaid, either in natural gas, oil or
coal as good as this; for the finding
OF any Of these things, would give an
impetus to Astoria and her industries,
greater than many of us imagine"
The "pay streak" has not been fol-
lowed up that anyone knows Of; the
development may be merely far out.
cropping of the true vein; so far as
it has gone it is but momentary
showing, with a hint of possibilities
behind it; yet, that it was found in
heretofore undisturbed earth, and
bears the record of good Ignite on
its black and rugged face, may be a
hint to the wiser OF us, to get in
and search out the exact conditions
attaching to the discovery. If there
is a lead in this to paying veins Of
coal, then it were idiotic to sleep on
it, and over it, for another hundred
years.

MARINE MEMORANDA
OF A DAY
ODDS AND ENDS OF SEA AND
RIVER CHAT GATHERED ON
THE ASTORIA WATERFRONT
YESTERDAY.
The steamer Charles R. Spencer

The steamer Charles R. Spencer
came down on schedule time yester-
day with So passengers for Astoria.
Speaking of his arrest in Portland,
along with Captain McCully of the
Lurline, on. Thursday last, for ex-
ceeding the speed-limit in the Will
lamette river, Captain Spencer is
concerned over only one feature OF
the case and that is that the port Off
GERS who were watching his steamer
and the Lurline for this delinquency,
failed to see the Bailey Gatzert, which
was leading them both on the run.
Portland's poor, restricted, tender
little harbor cannot stand many
steamers of any kind, and no steamer
speed whatever. It's too bad, for it
is a pretty little estuary for boating!.
When the Ronoke stopped at the
Calender pier in the early hours Of
yesterday morning the first thing she
did was to throw heavying line
through the office window and as she
went out she took fender pile along
with her; much to the disgust of Mr..
Crosby, the wharhnger, but it will
probably be safe for her to come back
She had big passenger list and lots
of freight for her three ports of call.
The tug Geo. R. Vosburg arrived
in from Nehalem yesterday morning,
having in tow the barge of the same
name (Nehalem) recently built by
the Wheeler Lumber Company for
sea despatch. This trip the barge was
loaded with 10000 feet of lumber, and
10000 feet of spruce saw logs, which
will be reduced by the mills at St.
Johns. The initial venture was quite
a success.
The bar tug Wallula took the
schooner James A. Garfield to an an
chorage off Brookheld yesterday
morning, and the first 0. R. & N.
steamer down, will take her on to
Portland
The steamer Yosemite departed
from Knappton yesterday afternoon,
for the open sea and San Francisco,
with an immense cargo of Oregon
and Washington lumber.
The Wallula will probably go to
Portland early next week for gen
eral overhauling, and the Tatoosh
will take her place on the bar
The steamship Rose City is due
down at 3 o'clock this afternoon, for
San Francisco and will leave the 0.
R. & N. docks at 4, if all goes right.
The steamer Sue H. Elmore went
to sea on the early food yesterday
morning, bound for Tillamook City
and bay points.
The steamer Homer was an arrival
from Portland yesterday morning and
her departure was but little later.
