You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-

Story of a California Tree.


Mr. Dudley wrote of the remarkable
recuperative power of some of the
great trees in the basin after they had
been injured by a fire, and then he
continued:
Among a number of similar cases
the most instructive record of these
ancient forest fires was observed in
a tree of moderate size-about fifteen
feet in diameter, five feet from the
ground. 1t was 270 feet in height and
2,171 years old.
"The history Of the tree was as fol-
lows:
'eB. G. 271 it began it's existence.
The first year Of the Christian era it
was about four feet in diameter above
the base. A. D. 245, at five hundred
and sixteen years of age, burning
three feet wide occurred on the trunk.
One hundred and five years were occu-
pied in covering this wound with a
new tissue. For 1,196 years no
further injuries were registered. A.
D. 1441, at 1712 years of age. the tree
was burned the second time in two
long grooves, one and two feet wide
respectively. Each had its own system
of repair.
"One hundred and thirty-nine years
of growth followed, including the time
Of covering the wounds. A. D. 1880,
at 1851 years of age occurred another
fire. causing a burn on the trunk two
feet wide which took fifty six years to
cover with new tissue. Two hundred
and seventeen years of growth fol-
lowed this burn. A. D. 1897, when the
tree was 2,O6S years old, a tremendous
fire attacked it burning a great scar
eighteen feet wide. One hundred and
three years enabled the tree to reduce
the exposed area of the burn to about
| fourteen feet in width"
1t was not many years ago that it
was found by the scientists that
great tree which had been feled for
commercial purposes had begun its ex-
istence FIVE hundred and twenty-five
years before Christ.
Great Services unrecognzed.

FORESTRY DISPUTE
NEVER DIES OUT
PRESIDENT HARDING MAY GET
TRUTH ON CONSERVATION
WHEN IN ALASKA.
SOME THINK 1T is OVERCOME
William Russell Dudleys Interesting
Story of the Life History of Great
Tree in the Converse Basin, Cali
fornia
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK

Washington.-There are officials in
Washington who believe in proper con-
servation Of the national resources of
the country, but who say they would
like to find out once for all what
proper conservation is. In Washing
ton, as presumably elsewhere where
people talk about the subject, there
seems to be no middle ground of oprn-
ion on this subject. 1t is a case OF
"save everything" on the one side and
destroy everything" on the other side.
Forestry has been the cause of row
after row in the government service.
The stories of some of the disturbances
which tree conservation has kicked up
are too well known to need repetition,
but the hard facts seem to be that the
rows are likely to be continued In
definitely into the future. Mention
tree even casually in Washington and
it instantly becomes necessary to get
under cover in order to avoid contro-
verSy or something worse.
Probably President Harding would
not go to Alaska this summer If one
part of it's domain were not producing
great forests of trees. If one were to
believe all that he hears about tree
conservation and the general subject
of Alaska trees, he could learn in five
minutes on the one hand that greedy
corporations want to cut down every
stick of timber overnight, and on the
other hand that the forestry service is
determined that no one, for whatever
purpose, shall be allowed to take out
Of Alaska so much as a silver or
chip of it's forest growth.
Too Much Conservation
While forest conservation has been
the cause of recurring rows in the gov
ernment ever since the Ballinger-Pin-
chot affair, it can be said that in the
earlier days it was much easier to un-
derstand the reasons for the difference
of opinion between the two schools of
thought on the general forestry mat
ter. Then it seemed to be a case, so
far as the foresters were concerned,
of willingness to allow timber to be
cut so long as it's cutting was re-
stricted and care in numbering meth
DDS was exercised. The foresters
wanted to save and to use at the same
time.
Now If some Of the partisans in the
Interior department in its recent con-
troversy with the Agriculture depart
ment are to be believed, the foresters
are OVERRIDING the matter of conser-
vation. This may not be true, and as
a matter Of fact anything which is said
on this general forestry subject in
Washington should be studied and
proved up" before belief in it is ex-
pressed. In this one government mat
ter "you never can tell"
Trees are interesting for other rea
sons than for the rows that they kick
up in the government service. Some
trees are more interesting than others.
Perhaps little extract from an article
on a tree by William Russell Dudley,
after he had made a study of the
great growths in the Converse basin,
California, may prove the point of in
