The eucalyptus most widely known is
the e. globulus, or blue gum. This has
been introduced to most foreign lands
where conditions will permit, and is
found in California from San Diego to
Shasta. 1t Is rapid grower, possibly
the most rapid of all, producing wood
that makes an excellent fuel, hard,
tough, and very strong. 1t is being
used for agricultural implements, insu-
lator pins, and other purposes requir-
ing an exceedingly strong wood. 1t is
also used for piling. and proves so per
cent more durable and lasting than any
wood thus far used on this coast The
blue gum does not last we'll in the
ground, and cannot be used for posts
and poles. It is principally priced for
piling, some manufactures, for fuel, and
as windbreak and forest cover.

AMUSING VISITORS

1t is not every poet who possesses
the sense of humor. Longfellow had
1t in unusual degree, writes William
Winter in "Old Friends" Nothing alb
surd escaped him. Among the relics
that he especially treasured was an
inkstand, once the property of Cole
ridge. One day, showing that relic
to a stranger who had called on him,
he said: perhaps The Ancient Mar
iner' was written from this" Eyes,
said his visitor land The Old Oaken
Bucket, who done that?"
An admirer of Longfellow's once
wrote him, saying: "Please send your
autograph in your own handwriting"
He has recorded a characteristic dia-
logue with a strange lady, who ac-
costed him one summer morning at his
house door.
"Is this the house where Longfellow
was born?"
mo, he was not born here
Did he die here?"
mo, he is not dead"
"Are you Longfellow?"
81 am"
"I thought you died two years ago."
That recalls the intelligent remark
made to Walter Savage Landor by a
lady who rushed to compliment him
on his 'Pericles and Aspasia.'
"Mr Landor," she said IT haven't
had time to read your 'Periwinkles
and Asparagus but hear it is very
good"

Consumption of Wood

1t is not generally known that at the
present time the people of the United
States use about three times as much
timber as their forests grow. The gov
ernment foresters maintain that If we
were everywhere practicing forestry,
with a resulting Improvement equal to
that of Prussia, where no more wood Is
cut than the forests produce, the for
ests of this country would be producing
as much as we use. What is wanted is
a sustained yield year by year. and Ii is
necessary, therefore, to have always a
certain number of trees ready to cut,
there must be a proper proportion of
trees of all ages. In Prussia this pro-
portion has been maintained with al
most mathematical accuracy. The fin
ancial returns there make an ex-
cellent showing. In 1850 the net re-
turns per acre were 2S cents; in 1866
they were ~ cents; in 1900. $1.5S. and
in 1904 $3.50.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26


For fuel only II will pay handsomely.
For posts and poles the value would
run many dollars per tree. Telephone
and telegraph poles range in value
from SO to $25 each, and a better mate
rial for poles has never been grown.
For piling the red gum is unapproache1.
IT is worth more than the best of any
other species. Millions of trees not
yet sprouted from the seed will be
serving as piles In our harbors before
another twenty years have passed.
For mine timbers II is very superior,
possessing the strength, hardness and
durability so essential for such work.
Many will be surprised to learn that
each year about 2.5OOO00 feet Of timber
are used for mine purposes.
Railroad ties for 1906 cost an average
of 4S14 cents each at points of produc-
tion, the cost varying widely in differ
ent sections. Upward of 100000,000
ties are used annually. No better wood
for bridge timbers. car construction
and other railroad uses grows In Amer
lea, and for such railroad purposes
ten and one-half billion feet were used
in 1907.
For all manner of construction that
comes in contact with salt water the
red gum will In time be deemed indis-
pensable. Scores of millions of great
piles are used annually, only to be re-
placed in from three seven years with
others The cost of the new pil'ng
for replacing the old is not comparable
to the cost of labor in effecting repairs
labor and resource that should be
applied in other directions.
A supply of hardwood for implement
and vehicle manufacture is a distress
ing problem of the hardwood. Nearly
two billion feet of hardwood are used
annually for this work. In 1906 the
manufacture of cooperage of all classes
consumed the enormous total OF six
and one-quarter billion feet, almost all
hardwood. Eucalyptus has been, and
is being, used in Australia for
cooperage work, and 1t can be and will
be used here.
Another bit of evidence on the dura-
bility of the red gum is found In the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce ex-
hibit. Sample paving blocks are shown
that had lain in the pavement of st.
Georges street, Sydney, N. s. W., for
over twelve years. The blocks show
evidence of wear and exposure, but the
effects are purely superficial. Edges
of several of the blocks are polishei
and show as fine a wood, free from
holes, disintegration and decay as the
fine samples of the California-grown
wood in the writer's office. These
blocks form one of the best pavements

the laying of the blocks in some Of the
principal streets of London, where they
are greatly appreciated for their wear

ment that is quite noiseless, compared
to brick, stone or macadam.
The uses for hardwood timber are al
most as diverse as the activities of
man. 1t enters into the arts and sci
ences, sports and pastimes, into rail-
road building and city construction;
into the equipment of office, home and
farm, necessity of industry and
commerce; at home and abroad; here,

wood, an absolute necessity for hard

Without the eucalypts the position
of the Pacific coast in reference to
hardwood is precarious. Our supplies
must be imported. So long as outside
resources are competent to meet de-
mands we can pay the price and sur
vive: but outside resources are not in
exhaustlble, and we can count with
alarming accuracy the years OF failing
supply, mounting prices and complete
exhaustion.

we have hundreds today there will

Our resources are many, our advan-

shown by "many mfallible proofs
and when people are able to grasp
this fact. they become firm and
steady Christians. This was true Of
the apostles. Before the crucifixion
they often wavered, and Immediately
after the crucifxion they tremb'e

soon as they are able to grasp the res
direction their faath becomes vlgor-
Gus and strong. so much so that they
proclaim the Gospel in the face Of
every danger and remain faithful to
the hour of martyrdom. This has
ever been true in the history Of the
church. When people are able to
grasp the resurrection firmly. they
are ready to live and die for Christ.
Thus we know Of no better way to
celebrate Easter than with services at
the house Of God proclaiming the res
direction Of Christ. There will be
service at St. Lakes Lutheran church

And muses. on the faces Of the friends
that he has known,
So, I turn the leaves Of fancy, till IN

I find the smiling features Of an old
sweetheart Of mine.
The lanplight seems to glimmer with
a flicker Of surprise
AS turn it low to rest me Of the daz-
zle of my eyes;
And I light my pipe in silence, save
a sigh that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco to vanish
into smoke
'Tis a fragrant retrospection-for
the loving thoughts that start
Into being are like perfumes from
the blossom Of the heart;
And to dream the old dreams over Is
luxury divine
When my truant fancies wander with
that old sweetheart Of mine.
Though I hear beneath my study,
like the fluttering OF wings,
The voices of my children and lite
mother as she sings,
feel no twinge Of conscience to de4y

Back in Early Days.

In the days of 1S74-5 when Ira
Brougher and several other old timers
who are still here picked bones from
the Medicine Lodge country, back to
Great Bend they would start out with
a yoke Of oxen and wagon with a big
hay rack and a few pounds Of bacon,
a little flour and coffee and a jug
of water perhaps keg to carry water
for the cattle, probably go south along
the old Sun City trail or down by
Hayden's ranch on the Rattlesnake
The object was to get bones and the
cattle would wander around until the
load was secured. 1t was at no time
very easy to pick a load of bones
even when plenty. Sometimes they
were found in plenty, sometimes moi
and occasionally they were exertme-
ly so, but the first few years there
were few to pick them until the set,
tiers began to come in. But at the
time the settlers that located in the
Brougher and Hood neighborhood
south of the river, there were no set.
tiers at Zion Valley, now St. John.
But southwest of what is now the
0smond place there were no settlers
to the coast, except an occasional
ranch. So when they started out af
ter bones or buffalo it was not ques.
ton of going, but Of getting back
The many commonplace occurrence
Of that day would be events now
Like getting caught in big prairie
fire and have to pull out. Get in {
sand storm and lay up for days, ge
out Of water and have to hunt for i
and drive your oxen along; windy ant
hot in the day time, and try to driv,

Pleasant, yes, after you got used t.
it, or got out on a hunt down on thu
Panhandle as they. did in later year.
and be tied up for two weeks in {

Young Men

So many young men attend the
services at the Methodist chuach
Sunday evenings. there must have
been near a, hundred present last
Sunday evening, that it has been de.
cided to have service especially ap-
propriate for young men next Sunday
evening. The pastor, R. L. Selle,
says that he appreciates the privilege
of preaching to such crowds of young
men and that they deserve a special
service. The service will not be fol-
young men only but for young men
especially. The service will be ap.
propriate to the occasion. All are
cordially invited.
