Proposed Measure Opposed

California, OF leaving several million
acres of government timber land in
California open to destruction by FIRE
and reckless cutting, and would work
a serious injury on settlement and de-
velopment throughout the state.
When questioned yesterday on the
meaning of Eng1ebrights measure
Olmsted went at some length into the
forestry conditions OF the state. par
ticularly those Of the first congress
sional district. which Englebright rep
resents.
There are still extensive tracts In
this state which naturally belong
within national forests and ought to

that they are all covered with mer-

forests are created.
The most important project is the
proposed addition on the west side OF
the Tahoe national forest. the recon-
mended boundary for which comes
within two miles Of Englebrfght's
home at Nevada City. Protests have
been made against adding these lands
on the grounds that they are not tim
Der lands. But the young timber that
is growing on the ground is OF the
greatest Importance for use in mining
operations, and the underbrush land
is important in protecting the water
resources, and water is absolutely
necessary TO mining. There is great
danger OF fire there, but those opposed
to forest protection have asked con-
gress to see that these lands are not
protected by the government"

Progress of Expansion in Trade

Disappointing

NEW YORK. Jan. 17-The specu-
lative markets last week showed a good
deal of hesitation in the attempted ap-
praisement of the factros going to
shape the future.
Reports of general conditions showed
enough mixture of the good and the
unfavorable to account fairly we'll for
the mixed and uncertain tone of the
speculation. The progress of the ex-
pansion in trade and industry was re-
garded, on the whole, as disappointing.
The railroads feel the effect of the
early movement of the great staple ag-
ricultural crops, which gave the early
appearance of quick revival to their
traffic. but which leaves the later vol
ume of traffic without its customary
proportion of this business to maintain
the showing.
The movement of coal also is re-
ported as slow. Hence the renewed
accumulation of surplus idle freight
cars, which has proved discourage
ment The effect is to hold back rail-
road orders for new equipment and
thus spread the influence of the check
through the ramifications of the steel
trade.
The far reaching projects in the rail-
road world which were attributed at
one time to Z. H. Hartman furnished
another topic for the Skeptlcal to dwell
upon and thus raised apprehensions in
the minds of previous speculation buy
