Acting Chief Forester J. W. Teu- mey of Washington was here on Sunday, and in company with City Engineer Clapp, ex-Mayor T. P. Lukens and United States Hydrographer J. B. Lippincott, made an inspection trip by carriage along the fODli of the mountains from Arroyo Seco Can- yon to Santa Anita Canyon. As a result of what Mr. Toumey saw of the burned districts he has promised that he will use | his influence with the Government for an | appropriation of several hundred dollars to plant seeds in the burned areas this spring, Ex-Mayor T. P. Lukens and G. Kerkhoff are going to do gome planting | on their own account, however, whether the Government acts or not. But it I8 probable that Mr. Lukens will be appoint- | ed superintendent of the tree planting| which will be done by the Government. The watersheds have been denuded, and | | it is known that unless the trees can be made to grow in the mountains north of | this city the city’s water supply will go. | Water has been very scarce all summer, | so searce indeed that street sprinkling ad to be stopped for a time in half the | city, and some of the higher situated res dents could not get water in their bath- | ¢ | tubs TLukens, formerly president of the Pasadena National Bank, has devoted all | his time of late to studying forestry, just | out of pure love of it. When he is’in the | mountains he carries with him a sharp | stick, with which he thrusts into the| ground seeds of pine trees that he hap- Dens to The seeds will not grow usu- ally unless helped along by artifi means. Mr. Lukens thinks that if body would do just that much man would spring up where now secd: He has spent the entire summ Valley, where he built himself house far up in the mountains, surroun: ed with all facilities for studying and de- veloping seeds of all sorts. One hundred pounds of seeds that Mr. Lukens has pre- pared will arrive shortly and will be planted in the mountains, Forest Rangers Lew Newcomb and John Hartwell went to | the mountains to-day to carry out this scheme of Mr. Lukens and Kerkhoff. They will establish a camp on the ridg Dbetween - Eatons Canyon and the Little Santa Anita. They .will cut fire trac along all ridges to the main ridge. Thes tracks are paths through the brush about six_feet wide, cleared entirely of brush d leaves, so that fire cannot cross. They o furnish avenues of access to fires, | Newcomb will plant along these fire; | tracks seed of the pinus tuberculata, or hickory pine, which Mr. Lukens has been ting. a little | ine is a native of S: and grows there v fusely. The seeds are found about the ground. Heat opens them, the process is very difficult, because a lit- tle too much heat will kill the seed. The tree is practically fireproof. When a fire strilees it {s burns a little way, if it has a | good start, and then dies. Sometimes the | tree reaches a helght of 100 feet, but not often. It grows very rapidly. Mr. Lukens has found by experimenting that in five rs the tree grows so rapidly that if the seed were planted along the mountains three feet apart they would cover the area almost impenetrably. The seed must have care, however. It should be planted at the side of a stone or stick so that the sun’s rays will not wilt the young plant. Seeds planted last July, three months ago, by Mr. Lukens have attained a height of three inches already. | _When weomb and Hartwell have | planted the ridge between ton Canyon and Little Santa Anita they will plant between Big Santa Anita and Little Santa Anita, The forestry people agree with Mr. Lu- | | kens that the first area to be planted is | | that which has been burned, partly as a | | protection to the native forests now | standing, for the fire will stop when it | strikes pinus tuberculata, Then, too, the canyons ought to be planted, because it is | in the canyon that the fire usually starts. | If these places were planted the forests | would be very valuable, not alone as pre- | servers of moisture, etc.. but the wood is ery hard and available for use in making | ax-handles and the like. | nardino County lieved from duty at Fort Hamilton and will proceed to San Francisco.

An appropriation has been secured, | however, for the good work of building | | trails through the ‘mountains and getting out the dead timber. All rangers hav been instructed by Mr. Toumey to make | careful inepection through the forests an estimating the amount of dead logs that | exist, This estimate will be submitted to the Government and the logs will be sold to whomever desires to haul them awa The idea is that when fires occur they get into the logs and burn for days and weeks, | spreading the sparks to new territory af- | ter the fire was supposed to have been all (put out by the fighters. Sometimes logs | roll long distances out of burned districts into unburned distriets and start new dis- astrous fires.

LABOR FEDERATION WILL ASSIST THE JEWELERS ‘Will Take Action for the Purpose of Obtaining a Reduction in Working Hours. WASHINGTON, Oect. 19.—The execu- tive council of the American Federation of Labor at its session to-day voted that the federatlon financially assist the jew- elers of New York, Newark and Provi- dence, with a view of the more thorough | organization of the trade and to be help- ful in every way to Secure a recognition E of the union, as well as a reduction in the | hours of their daily labor. In consequence of the fact that a large number of employers are alleged to be unnecessarily forcing their employes to work long hours per day under the pre- tense of overtime, the executive council p]nssed resolutions condemning the prac- | tice. The organization of the workers of tne far West was again taken up, and the of- ficers located at headquarters were in- struoted to keep in close correspondence with the organizers and to submit the rames of additional organizers to the ex- ecutive council for approval.
