Although there are 125 different
species OF trees in this state, a num-
her Of which produce some OF the
most valuable varieties OF lumber In
the country. and although considerab bly,
more than half OF the species are hard
wood or broad leaved trees. there is
not q single species OF hardwood here
ranking in commercial Importance
with the leading eastern hardWodS.
Climatic conditions in California are
declared favorable for the growth Of a
number Of the valuable hardwoods.
and the lack OF these species is due TO
lack of system in seed distribution

WORK AGAIN
ON CANAL.

Work has again been resumed onthe
Dodson-Malta- G lasgow canal, after q
lay off for about two months. The
contractors who were awarded work
are all making good start, some are
just constructing their camps, while
others have started in as soon as
their contracts were signed up. At
present there is about sixty teams at
work, not including the force at Point
of Rocks, but this force will be in
creased when all the contractors get
to work. When the work on the two
laterals is nearly completed bids will
be called for the work east of Alkali
creek and as far as Malta for compile
ton early in the spring, giving the
settlers water for their 1910 crop. At
Point of Rocks the work has BRO
gressed so satisfactorily that it will
be practically all completed the latter
part of next month. This was one of
the hardest jobs on the whole unit,
and regardless of the scarcity of lab
OF the work was quickly accom-
plished. To prevent the laboring men
from deserting their work for the
harvest fields, Project Engineer Babb
on the first of the present month
raised the scale of wages for all men
on this work. Surveyors are busy on
the north side of the river making a
complete survey of that system, so
that the unit may be properly
draughted and all necessary details
worked out, then early next spring
bids will be called for the entire sys-
tenn on the north side. The Great
! n Ortheln has several work crews
raising the tracks at Dodson and will
no doubt have the track raised high
enough before snow flies so that the
/ back water from the dam will not in
| terfere with traffic.
