WRITES A LETTER.
The President Tells Mrs. Cleveland
About Honor to Her Late Husband.

Oyster Bay. n. Y. July 15.-Presi-
Mrs. Grover Cleveland informing her
of a proclamation he has signed
changing the name of the San Jacinto
National forest to the Cleveland No
tional forest in honor of the late for
mer president. The letter is as fol-
lows:
"Oyster Bay. y. Y, July 10, 1908.
my Dear Mrs. Cleveland 1t has
recently been my privilege to sign a
proclamation changing the name OF
the San Jacinto National forest to
the Cleveland National forest. May
express to you the very great pleasure
II gave me to take that action-a
pleasure mingled with a keen sense
of the loss of our country and to our
citizens in the state, the loss of Mr..
Cleveland.
ION February %. 1887. President
Cleveland signed the proclamation
creating the San Jacinto forest re-
serve In southern California The
date. February %. was no mere acct
dent since the signature OF the
proclamation was timed to coincide
with the birthday of our first presi-
dent.
president Cleveland was one of
the first to recognize the need of for
est preservation, and the creation of
the San Jacinto and other forest re-
serves with a total area of 25.6s6,320
acres was one of the evidences of his
foresight in this direction.
Throughout his life he took great
interest in conserving the natural re-
