The January meeting of the city
government was a very short and tame
affair The fire truck proposition did
not come up as the Republicans held
caucus before the meeting and 1t was
evident that sentiment was so divided
that it was impossible to affect its
passage. The other matters considered
were simply routine, except that a
couple of ordinances were introduced
which if passed would give the city
three of the necessary 10 points to Sc
cure the reduced fire insurance rates.
These were laid on the table for one
month to give everyone a chance to
examine them and they will be on file
in the city clerks Office during that
time and open to everyone who wants
to look them over.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after s o'clock and roll of
accounts, No. 1894, carrying a total of
S26.S06.45 was passed. The roll was as

CALIFORNIA REDWOOD
DISAPPEARING FAST

EUREKA, Cal, Dec. S.-Constantly
increasing production of redwood
lumber in Humboldt county means
that in less than a century the only
commercial redwood forest in the
world will be stripped bare, according
TO compilations made by George A.
kellogg, secretary of the Humboldt
Chamber o: Commerce. In 1895 It was
estimated that the standing redwood
timber in the county would be sufIi.
cient for 200 years but since that time
the capacity of the mills has been
more than doubled with prospects for
a continued increase in the future.
Out of $4,000 acres of red wood tim.
Der standing untouched before lumber.
ing operations were begun in the
country $4,000 acres have been cut
over. This cut represents some of the
best timber of the county, for the bot
tom lands along the rivers where the
best timber stands have been harvest
ed first.
Redwood lumber thus far produced
from the forests of the county has
represented a value of $l60,317, 237
and has totalled $500, 1866. 526, board
feet.

The land in and near Metropolis is
typical OF some 100000 of acres in

The following crops are to be tried
out on the dry lands next year: Sou.
dan grass. sweet clover. beans. peas,
corn, potatoes, wheat. oats. barley,
rye, hog millet. alfalfa and Russian

The following crops are to be stu.
