LEWISTON NORMAL.

The second semester opened at Lewis

of February. Work in all departments
was resumed. The enrolment shows a
decided increase over that Of the first
semester. New students are still com

this second term closes there will be a
total enrolment Of from 225 to 240 stu
dents. This, of course, does not include
the training school of eight grades,
which also has an enrolment Of over 200.
Almost every county in the state is
represented by students It is some
times thought that Lewiston draws its
student body almost entirely from the
northern part of tile state, but, as a
matter of fact, at least third of its stu

Calaveras National Forest, Cal

completed the legislative act
which saves for all times the most
famous grove of trees in the
world. The people OF California,
particularly the 500 women Of
the California Club, have been
working to interest the Govern

Big Trees for more than nine
years, but not until now has it
been possible to arrange a plan
satisfactory alike to the owner OF
the land and congress.
The Senate Bill passed by the
House of Representatives has just
been signed by the President.
Everyone interested in the great
wonders reioices that as a means
of saving the Big Trees, the way
has been paved for practical ex-
change Of the timberin the groves
for stumpage on other forest land
owned by the government. The
first Calaveras Bill was intro
duced in the Senate four years

The land to be acquired under

in what is known as the North
Calaveras Grove in Calaveras
County, and 3,040 acres in the
south Grovein Tuolumne County
The North Grove contains nine
ty-three Big Trees and in the
South Grove there are 1880 of
these gaint sequoias. Any tree
under eighteen feet in circumfer-
ence, or six feet through, is not
considered in the count of large
trees. Besides the gaint sequoias
there are hundreds ofsugar pines
and yellow pines of astonishing
proportions, ranging to the
height of 275 feet and attaining
a diameter OF eight to ten feet.
The are also many white frs and
incense cedars in the two tracts,
