Lack of Tact Mars Plans
for" Forest Reserve Tracts

I T is to be hoped that all the repre-
sentatives of California in congress
Il will pay the same attention to the
forest service as Congressman Engle-
bright is giving it. Mr.. Englebright.
when the announcement was made that
large tracts in his district were about
to be sequestrated by the service, wrote
to washington and caused the procla-
nation to be delayed. He contends, in
an interview published in the Grass
Valley Tidings, that it is not right for
Washington to take important steps
like this without giving the affected
counties chance to be heard, says the
San Francisco Globe.
The congressman from the mountain
district is exactly right, The proposed
forest reserve, to which his immediate
objection is made, includes in it's area
large acreage that will be settled by
taxpaying citizens in the course of a
few years. Some of the finest fruit
land in the United States is within the
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-01

borders of the projected reserve, which
will come within two miles of Nevada
City on the east. In this territory, too,
is to be found the most promising min
eral-bearing territory in the world. The
reserve would include comparatively
little forested ground, and it's proposed
extension would take it far west of the
watersheds whence come the streams
that ultimately reach the Sacramento
river.
There is no opposition to the principle
upon which the idea OF forest reserves
is based, but in carrying out that idea
1t does seem that there has been dis
played lack of tact that ought to have
been avoided. The proposal to create a
principality of practically non-taxable
land in counties that are none too rich
at best ought never to have been made
without hearing what the interested
counties had to say on the subject. Let
there be less concealment on the part of
the forest service and more publicity.
1t is the peoples right.

Pasadena women are urging that
steps be taken for the protection of
the health of that city by the regis
tration of sufferers from all classes of
infectious or contagious diseases and
the fumigation of houses which pa
TENTS have occupied. The great white
plague will surely get the better of
the Caucasian race unless the eau
casian race gets the better of the
great white plague. Better be sensible
and adopt protective measures than
rue remissness later on.

The sultan of Turkey owns the
River Jordan, the Dead Sea and the
Sea of Galilee. The countries which
make up Christendom are so hatefully

The Postal Deficit

There is no good reason why the
American postoffice should not be self

to fair compensation for carrying the

In the words of the special examiner
of the interstate commerce commission,

and affects every man, whether he
lives in the city or country, whatever
his occupation" and it is a matter in
which every citizen, realizing It's i'm
portance, should interest himself ac-
lively.
