WILL PAY CITY'S TAXES.
San Diego, CAL, Has a Municipal
Grove Which is Unique
In History.

San Diego. In the extreme south.
western corner of Uncle Sam 5 do
minions. is the first of American
cities to maugurate a great forestry
enterprise. In the expectation OF
speedily lessening the burden of tax
alton borne by its citizens. and
possibly, of ultimately relieving
them of all tax levies for the sup
port of the city government.
As a heritage from the days when
San Diego was a Mexican pueblo,
the city owns 1000 acres of land,
which. up to the present time, has
been unproductive.
On account of the rapid growth
for which the various species of
euealypti are remarkable, and the
great value of the timber as sub
stitute for oak, hickory. and the
other common hardwoods. these are
the trees that are being most large
" planted. Forty thousand seed

plus corynocalyx-were purchased
from nurserymen and set out in the
spring of the present year. The
Federal Bureau of Forestry, in
official publications. discourages the
expectation of extraordinary profits
from Eucalyptus culture: but, on
the other band. the pioneers in Eu-
calvptus culture. who have been
growing timber for profit for n
quarter Of century o. longer. en-
hibit statements of their business
that seem of more practical value
than any amount of theoIizing One
conservative statement is given by
the owner of large Eucalyptus
grove planted more than twenty-five
wears ago. He SAYS that he har-
vests annually TINKER to the value
cf $3.50 from each acre. and that the
timber remainin" becomes of great
er value each year. the natural grow
tn OF what is left more than compen-
sating for what is cut. Groves OF
this kind will continue productive
forever. with no diminution of the
annual harvest. young trees spring
ing up from the old stumps. or be-
ing replanted. so that the stand of
timber is kept as heavy as the land
is capable of supporting to the
best advantage.
Let us gran the contention--al-
though advocates of Eucalyptus cul-
ture will never do so-that San
Diego can never approach the record
referred to. Suppose that the city
forest, when % years old. can do
only half as well. and can WELD only
$175 worth Of timber TO the acre.
That means that the annual harvest
form its 1000 acres of pueblo lands
if all is devoted to forestry-will
be $1,225.000. Allowing for all ex-
penses. there will be left a profit
that should 90 far towards reducing
the burden of taxation now imposed

Some Extra Big Corn.

Cass Dillon can justly brag on a
15-acre piece of corn on 40 that

stars" out of raw material was Joseph Murphy, who had been working as blacksmith, and held the record for shoe- ing the first horse in the given time and had a beautiful tenor voice. A man named Fred Marsden wrote play called Help" in which a blacksmith was the hero. And as Murphy's name was la rl;liar to the working class of America he made an instantaneous success. Joseph Murphy is today one of the wealthiest actors of the world.

THE PASMORE TRIO
 AT THE JEFFERSON

It will be pleasure to local music lovers to learn that the Pasmore Trio will ap- pear at the Jefferson theatre in Sunday matinee recital week from today, No venber 19. The Bispham recital last week was an innovation welcomed with keenest pleasure and the fact that another is to follow so soon after this and other recent delightful musicales suggests that this winter is to be rich in musical treats. The three will remain in the city week and will be accorded number of grace ful social attentions. At 3:30 o'clock the concert will take place at the Jefferson. The three sisters Pasmore have received many evidences of appreciation among music critics in this country and in Flu rope, among them the following tribute from a well known authority:
 Never did you hear more sober. work manlike artists than the three young la dies who ask no condescension for then sex and plead no forbearance for their years They just play. Miss Dorothy played the Saint-Saens A minor concerto. Her reading of the difficult number was scholarly and sure. her intonation correct and her left hand firm and unfaiing. Par ticularly appealing was her tone in the allegretto movement, which she repeated for an encore. From the first short dis sonantal chords to the finale, she was mis- tress of the situation and played with emotional fervor and academic accuracy. Her sister, Miss Mary, presented Lalo $ Spanish symphony. Op. 21, with it's fa- miliar 'Rondo' allegro finale. The essence of her presentation was delicacy and puri- ty It is difficult to gauge tone size in the Greek theatre: the distance separat- ing player from auditor is so great that reasonable breadth of tone is surprising you do not expect so much volume. Her tone was broad full and of an allurine sweetness and beauty. She plays from the heart A delicious bit was her inter- pretation of Kreisser's favorite song piece Dvorak's "Humoresque. which even with the giants rendition still ir our ears, was done with more charm and pxDressiyeness '

The Secret of Keeping
 The Skin Wrinkle Free
frrom American Family JournaD


 The great secret of keeping the face smooth, wrinkle free and refined in tex ture is to use an effective astrngent when the skin shows a tendency to be- come loose or the pores to enlarge. The hest thing of the kind is a simple solu- tion made by dissolving an ounce of nowdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. Used as wash lotion, this promptly tightens the skin, which of course smooths out the lines and wrin- lsles and reduces too-large pores.
 Large pores, by the way, are respon- sible for blackheads, being so easily clogged with dirt and grime. The lotion referred to is therefore an effectual hlackhead preventive. It Is also valuable in cases of sagging cheeks and chin, the astringent action of course serving to draw in the folds and obliterate the creases. Saxolte now being sold by druggists generally in this country. any woman can make this lotion herself

 The ingenuity of the Frenchman has not been confined to the making of weap- ops out of apparently harmless canes. In fact there is quite variety of uses which the cane is made to serve.
 One of the canes is fitted with a coin box and a match box, these being con- tained in the head, which Is provided with a carefully concealed lid. The coin box is arranged to permit of depositing and easily removing the coin by slight pressure of the thumb, thus obviating the necessity of fishing for coins in the pocket.

HOW MANY PLAYS WILL LAST LONG? BelascO Tells How to Write
 Drama CLOSE TO NATURE' First Lays Scene and Then Shuts Himself Up in Dark Room and
 Works out the Plot.
 Gypsy Love-
By JAMES GRANT THURsToN

| New York, November u.-(Special)-
 How many of the musical plays which are
 in such vogue today will be able to stand
 the test of years? Many of them are
 bright and catchy and present box office
 results are most gratifying, but from the Merry Widow down or up as your fan
 cy dictates, how many of them will be
 able tot fill a New York theatre, say in
 1861?
 The foregoing questions arise from the | fact that heard Balfes' "Bohemian Girr' | sung the other day, to good house and | the auditors seemed to enjoy the sterling music of that old time Irish master as greatly as l did. And I don't mind say ing that was a very great deal.
 There is something in the music of these old time light operas which goes mighty close to the heart. Maybe some of the current productions will stand the acid test Of years also.
 Franz Iehar has outdone himself by the writing Gypsy Love-" This example of Viennese light opera may not prove so popular as "The Merry Widow" be- cause it lacks the coherent plot and the pretty sentiment that made MT. Donald Brians acting so effective. Also "The
 Merry Widow" was the first of it's hind. The lover who turns upon the heroine about the end of the second act and re- fuses to dance with her has become steI eotyped figure in comic opera these last two or three years, and no longer eX- cites our wonder and admiration. And the everlasting waltz of the sickly sentl- mental kind has been done to death m productions of all the nationalities from Austria to Victor Herbert, who is a na- tionalty all to himself. In spite, however, of these handicaps, the new opera by Lehar triumphs by virtue of the musical score The viennese composer is tune1ul from beginning to end. And what waltz measures he can write! Strauss himself, the king of the waltz country, could not compose more inspiring strains. Nor IS the voice forgotten. This music is better for singing purposes than anything Lehar has given us before. Indeed the finale Of the first act sounds more like page or two from Pucclni than comic opera oI the ordinary kind. Another proof of the musical quality of Gypsy Love" lies in the fact that the star of the occasion was obliged to leave the cast on the first evening, and yet in leaving caused no real detriment to the success of the produc- tion.
