Former President Roosevelt and Mrs.

From $50 until 1890 O'Clock Mr..

their farewells.
Many Of the townspeople had not

At each of the churches Lenten serv-
Sees had been held during the evening

Street vendors OF novelties had early
come to town from New York with a
large supply Of Roosevelt banners and
buttons left over from the 1904 cam

had little trouble in disposing Of their

istic straightness of its stem makes it
especially valuable for timber. 1t is OF
slower growth than blue gum, but it
reaches proportions suitable for mer-
chantable timber. 1t has been planted
in California only within recent years,
but several conspicuous examples
prove that it attains a height of 100
to 40 feet and diameter OF from II TO
16 inches in 10 TO IA years.
The characteristics of the wood are
similar to those of blue gum. but it Is
straighter grained and easier to split
For fuel wood it is even superior to
blue gum. The wood is also more dura-
BILE in contact with the soil than most
of the other species. Green posts last
from four to six years, and seasoned
posts and timber touching the ground
will last several times as long. Sugar
gum has proven ideal for piles. being
in use in several wharves along the
California coast. The timber IS su-
perior in strength and is one OF the
strongest among commercial eucalypts-

many other uses.

the substitution advantageous. The
