entity managed are netting their
owners handsome revenues.
The proposal OF the commission
Is especially Interesting to Ameri-
cans In View OF the fact that the
measures that are now be ng pro-
posed In the United States are 10
much simpler and less expensive.
In this country the forests are al
ready on the ground All that 10
necessary Is to bring them to a
state OF full productivensss. The
present annual production OF forests
In the United States is scarcely more
than Twelve cubic feet per acre of
all X nds OF wood. The centuries
or experience in Saxony, Switzerland
and France show that tho same
kind OF land Will grow three to
eight times as much wood under
wise forest management. Protection
and proper cutting begun now and
steadily followed al a policy will
keep America from reaching a point
where. like Great Britain, IL will
be necessary, except In the prairie
region, to start the forests OF the
future from the seed. and wait for
them to grow. A 1.-THE OF the great
outlay which the British commission
contemplates would easily guaran-
tee this country's forest independ-
ence for all time. And the wood
needed each year could be got out
OF the forests right along.

the auto stage line between jackson
and Sacramento, has hauled Oft his
motor car as far as the jackson end
is concerned. He now runs from
lone to Sacramento. the Stockton
auto line takes passengers to lone,
connecting with the auto for Sacra
mento. So there was no necessity of
both lines running between Jackson
and lone, so the Sacramento line was
withdrawn, upon the proprietor max
Jog arrangements with the other line
in regard to a mutual agreement
about transfer rates. The new base
for the Sacramento line started
Saturday, but the connection with
the Stockton route went into effect

avoids the worst part of the travel, as
the road from Jackson to Sacramento
is more wearing upon the autos than
all the balance of the road to the
capital city.
