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.
1.-THE history of the tree was as fol-
lows:
"B. c. 271 it began its existence.
The first year of the Christian era it
was about four feet in diameter above
the base. A. ID. 245, at five hundred
and sixteen years of age, a 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 1872 years of age, the tree
was burned the second time in two
long grooves, n and two feet wide
respectively. Each had its own system
of repair.
zone 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 2,06S years old, n tremendous
fire attacked it burning a great seal
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 a
great tree which had been felled for
commercial purposes had begun its ex-
lstence five hundred and twenty-five
years before Christ.

FORESTRY DISPUTE
NEVER DIES OUT
PRESIDENT HARDING MAY GET
TRUTH ON CONSERVATION
WHEN IN ALASKA.
SOME THINK 1T Is OVERCOME
William Russell Dudley's Interesting
Story of the Life History of a Great
Tree in the Converse Basin, Cali
fornia.
BY EDWARD B. A

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, a. presumably elsewhere where
people talk about the subject, there
seems TO be no middle ground of opin-
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 a
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 n
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 a
chip of its forest growth.
Too Much Conservation?
While forest conservation has been
the cause of recurring rows in the gov
eminent ever since the Ballinger-Pin-
chot affair, it can be said that in the
earlier days it was much easier to I'M
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 a willingness to allow timber to be
cut so long as its 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-
walton. 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 a 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
terest.

FARMERS NEED CHEAPER PRODUCTION

Referring tc the election in Minnesota recently at which the Republican Party was severely de- feated Senator Moses, Chairman of the Republican Senatorial Committee frankly admitted that it had in a way punished the Republicans for surrender1ng 10 the farm bloc in legislative matters. He said they had given the farmers the sort Of tarn they hao asked for and weakened themselves in the East by doing it. and put through the rest of the farm ers legislative program yet it had not satisfied. T am eonvnced he added, that the legislative remedy that will be offered in the next Congress will be as intellectual that forced us by the agricultural bloc in the last Congress
 Artificial stimulation does permanently cure n- dustria or business conditions. In the end if there are open markets adequate and reasonably priced transportation facilities and available money for legitimate financing industry and business will alright itself in the of time. There time when we could get along fairly well with tariff to guard the home market and at the same time the farmer could sell his surplus in the foreign market, but greater and there les competition from other countries in the production of surplus crops
 The American farmer and the American business needs the removal of trade obstacles rather than props here and there. We should have low tariff, lower transportation, larger labor supply through increased immigration and if possible adjust of the European situation These things would permit the enlargement of the foreign markets and increase the demands Of the home market. Cost of production is too high in the United States. It is so high that it is resulting in curtang foreign markets through our inability to compete with foreign pro- duceIs and slowing down construction and production in this country and thereby curtaing the home mar kots This is situation that be helped by artieally raising prices It is that helped by legislation that will bring down the prices the farmer has to pay.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE IS POOR MAN.

President Coolidge like many of our Presidents including Mckinley, Taft and Wilson, entered the White House "a Mr. Coolidge began a political career and became public official shortly after he completed his legal education and has been in public office all the time since. He was reared on farm and worked with his hands throughout the years of his youth and through many vacations since His wife, before marriage earned his way as school teacher. The Coolidge home Northampton Mass Is the same they rented when they were first married ana they are still paying $30 month for it. The Coolidge boys have often worked during vaca- ton 10 eke out the family income, according to re- ports, but that is probably due to the old fashioned thrifty New England education their par ents are giving them. Recently when fine man. son was offered as a present to the Government for use as residence for the vce-Presdent Mir Coolidge asked that It be not accepted giving that he could not maintain such establishment

Alaskan Dependence.
(Cordova Times.


 That the people of Alaska eyince too much of a tendency to depend upon the Government for help is one of the conclusions by interpreters of the im- pressions received by President Harding his tour of the Territory In his speeches in Alaska and Seattle Mr Harding did give hints of this, and that there is truth in the charge may not be denied by Alaskans. Disbursement of initiative and inde- pendence is invariably the effect of Governmental pa tcrnalism That this attitude among the people of Alaska noted particularly along the line of the Government Railway is but another instance in sup port of a long-recognized truth No doubt Alaskans have to look too much to the Government. The Governmental authority the of Alaska that assumed in 1910 has had it's inevitable effect. Governmental benehciences, supervision and restrictions, throwing the people back the sources of the nation rather than their own, are Alaskans ready to maintain that control of Alaskan resources is not good thing Few Alaskans are opposed to the policy of conservation. The cri- csm has been, not against the principle, but against the way it had been admi ministered A Government policy which, while guarding the resources of the country against exploitation, gave the widest oppor- tunity to the individual settler, would have found nc opposition among Alaskans. It with the hope of demonstrating this fact to the nations Ad- ministration-even to showing the demoralizing ef- feet of the opposite upon the spirit of the peo ple themselves-that the visit of the President was SO eagerly awaited The hope of demonstrating the effects of an inerocking administration by officials unfamiliar with the Territorys conditions was the principal sentiment anmating thoughtful Alaskan minds That President Harding did observe this that in his studious and critical way he saw how and where administrative changes are needed was enc Of the most hopegiving results of his visit The President himself, with his sympathetic under- standing has been taken away, and whatever he may nave been able personally to do will now eVolve upon his associates, those three members of the Cabinet who accompanied him North That their attitude will be to carry the Presidents desras 70 the extent of giving Aaekans the widest nossbIe opportunity to work their own destiny is the assurance of which Aaskans have the greatest hope
