HARDWOODS
MAY Be GROWN
IN CALIFORNIA

The Pacific coast will soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment. The United Safes forest
service is planning to introduce a
number of the more important east
ern hardwoods into California, and
will this year experiment with cheet-
nut, hickory, Eastwood, red oak and
yellow poplar or tulip trees Small
patches of these trees will be planted
near the forest rangers cabins on The
national forests, and if these do well
larger plantations on commercial,
scale will soon be established on
wider areas.
There are over 125 different ,spe-
cies of trees in California, number
of which produce some of the most
valuable varieties of lumber in the
country Although considerably over
one-half of the species are hardwood
or broad-leaved trees, yet with the
exception of the exotic eucalyptus,
there is not a single species of hard
wood here ranking in commercial i'm
portance with the leading eastern
hardwoods. Climatic conditions in
many parts of California are I'M
doubtedly favorable for the growth
of number of the valuable hard
woods, and the absence of these trees
is due mostly to unfavorable factors
of seed distribution.
If the experiments are successful,
valuable asset will have been add
ed to the forest resources of this
state, which should prove of special
benefit to the local furniture and We
nicle industries. Chestnut and red
oak are highly esteemed for furni-
ture, while with hickory Eastwood
and eucalyptus at its command, Cali
fornia should lead all other states in
the vehicle industry.

year, death came to the relief of
Robert H. Price last Sunday morning

appeals of his fellow man, he was al
ways friend to those in distress,

Great Prophet Boyd.

An error was made by the state
papers In stating that our popular
townsman, Joseph w. Boyd. was re-
elected Great Sachem of the Improv-
ed Order OF Red Men at the state
meeting in Cripple Creek last week.
He had held this position and refus-
ed a reelection and was made Great
Prophet. He was also elected Great
Representative to the Great Council
of the United States for two years.
This meeting will be held at Detroit
for one week beginning September 13.
During the meeting of the state tribes
Mr.. Boyd was the recipient Of many
tokens of high esteem in which he is
held by the various tribes and by the
individual members. He was present
ed by the Grand Council with a
beautiful engraved and carved silver
set and also with one of the most or
nate and handsome sashes that has
ever been given a like official in the
state. His home tribe, Blazing Arrow
Nos, presented him with handsome
diamond pin, while H. E. Maxville,
Grand Junior Sycamore, gave him a
gold pin in the form of an Indian
head His old friend Charles Whit
man remembered him with beauti-
full Elk head carved from walrus
tusk set with ruby eyes. A bunch of
tribes in the Northern part of Colo
RADIO presented him with pin of
twelve diamonds and a pearl in the
form of a question mark, while a
bunch of tribes in the southern part
of the state reminded him that he
must wear cuffs by giving him pair
Of diamond cuff buttons. He has
just cause to be proud Of these tokens
of appreciation while the members OF
this order should be equally proud OF
a loyal, active and generous brother.
