Many schools in Session.

who is now spending considerable time
in making official visits to the schools
of the county, says there are more of
them in session at the present time
than there have been at any other one
time in the history Of the county. He
attributed this to the new school law
which requires a minimum term of

One of the acts of the closing weeks
tion for which he will be remembered
by the present and coming genera
tions whose privilege it may be to
visit the region of the big trees of
California was the signing of the bill
creating the Calaveras National forest,
California. This act saves for all
time the most famous grove of trees
in the world
The people of California, particular
1y the 500 women of the California
club, have been working to interest
the government in this wonderful
grove of big trees for more than nine
years, but not until now has 1t been
possible to arrange a plan satisfactory
alike to the owner of the land and to
congress.
The land to be acquired under the
bill includes about $50 acres in what
is known as the North Calaveras
grove in Calaveras county, and 3,O4O
acres in the South Grove in Tuolumne
county. The North Grove contains
SO big trees and in the South Grove
there are 1880 of these giant sequoias.
Any tree under IS feet in circumfer-
ence, or six feet through, is not con-
sidered in the count of large trees.
Besides the giant sequoias there are
hundreds of sugar pines and yellow
pines of astonishing proportions, rang
ing to the height of 275 feet and often
attaining diameter of eight to ten
feet. There are also many white frs
and incense cedars in the two tracts
A government study of the land was
made by a field party under the direc-
tion of Fred G. Plummer United
States forest service. in 1906.
The Calaveras big trees are known
the world over. The North Grove con-
tains ten trees each having diameter
of rs feet or over, and more than 10
having diameter of 15 to rs feet.
Most of the trees have been named
for famous generals of the Uni
ted States and others for statesmen
