CALIFORNIA; BIG TREES.
They Wsrs First Seen by White Man.
John eidwsIl, In 1e41.

John eidwsII, In 1s41.
1t was on June 20. 1841. that John
Bidwell discovered the big trees Of
California. He was the first white
man, so far as we know, who ever bsA'
held those monarchs Of the forest.
Nine years later a hunter named
Dowd was led into the company of the
forest kings by a bear that be was
chasing, and it was by Dowd that the
knowledge Of the monster trees was
spread abroad, but to Bidweli belongs
the distinction Of having been the first
civilized man to gaze upon the wonder
full trees.
The big trees" as the mighty se-
quota are called. are found in CaIave
ras county. Cal. chiefly In two
'groves." the Calaveras and the Mari.
posa, at an altitude Of about 5000 feet
above the sen. They are probably the
remains Of extensive woods belonging
to long past epoch. Unfortunately
few Of them are left. there being ouly
a few hundred all told.
These mighty conifers are easily the
most remarkable of all trees both in
age and in bulk. They are from 2O0 to
400 feet in height and from II to 40
feet in diameter. Herald.

The committee charges that the tariff

the theory that maintenance OF exlstlng

Throughout it's investigation or costs

The committee discusses at length the
conditions relating to the production OF
raw wool in this country and abroad, and
after reviewing the three classes of wool
as considered in the report and in the
Payne-Aldrich bill the committee says,
in justification of the bill placing reve-
nue. duty of 20 per cent on raw wool:

cause it is scarcely produced at all In

"Class II wool needs no protection, be-
