Father Wyman Will Celebrate His Silver Jubilee in Old St. Mary’s Church, of Which Hels Pastor,Friday CAUSES ANKIETY Prominent Botanists Claim Laws of Preservation Are Necessary. — Predict That Unless Government Offi- clals Interfere Species Will Be Extinct Within Fifty Years. pre AR Loty The following communication from Wil- lam R, Dudley, professor of botany at Stanford University, should prove of in- terest to all persons interested in the pres- ervation of the California redwoods, a bill concerning which is now before the State Legislature: This js probably a_critical time with the Dbill now before the Btate Legislature which has for its purpose the creation, by purchase, of a redwood park in the heart of the Santa Cruz_Mountains. I cannot learn of any -person or interest which does_not wish well the effort in_this direction. But there are many in the State | who do not understand just how wonderful these redwood forests of the California coast appear to those who, through extensive. travél, known the great natural features of this globe. There are practically no redwoods anywhere in the world, excepting along one-half of the California coast line mountains, and I want to call the attention of your readers to what the man best informed in all America on the | forests of the world' said of the redwoods last July. . This gentleman has considerable wealth as well as learning and has seen the forests of Furope, of Japan and of Eastern Asla, as well as those of all parts of North America. The Government has twice selected him for the most. important positions in relation to forest matters within its gift, the forestry work of the tenth census (vol. § of that work) and the head of the United tates Forestry Commission of 18% and 1897, This latter com- mission was a_special advisory one, asked for by Congress, through the National Academy of Sciences. Prafessor Charles 8. Sargent, director of the Arnold Arboretum _of Harvard University, Writes In the New York Evening Post: "“The future of the redwoods of the coast gives cause for great anxiety. This is a tres gecond in trunk diameter only to the Bierra Fequoja. It is & much taller tree, the tallest of all North American trees and probably taller than any of the Australlan eucalyptl, which have usually been deemed the tallest trees In the world. To my mind the redwood is @ more beautiful tree than the Sierra Se- quofa, and it is economically more valuable. The whole of the land covered by this tree Las been allowed to pass from the control of the Government, and & few years, fifty per- haps, will see the destruction of the original redwood forests. “What ought to be done for the credit of America and American civilization js to pur- chase, through act of Congress or by individual effort, a block of a few thousand acres of this forest with the ‘idea of preserving it for all time. Jt'is doubtful if the Government can be got to do this, but possibly some rich man or men can be found glad to immortalize themselves by saving from destruction one of the great marvels of the world, for this red- Wood farest fs the most stupendous and vro- ductive forest that exists. Unless a redwood Teservation is made, all trace of the original st will disappear before the end of “the next century.'* 7 Every word of this quotation deserves | thought, Observe what he says of its certain destruction—and this is borne out by careful calculation—and work, Californfans, for a noble Park of thess noble trees, before it s too latet Ple says it s the “‘most stupendous and pro- Quctive forest that exists.”” This is all true. Not Eastern Asia, not in the troples is its ke to be ‘se It is because f the great Mz, combined with the great ieight of the Inaividual tree. and of the de of the forest. And ii should be remecabered that these qualities which make this forest so pro- duetive to the lumberman are also exactly those which awaken usiasm and_wondbr in the beholder t travelers from every part of the Theodore Hittell, the historian of Californis “In the eyes of many persons t nost beautiful tree that grows, rest is the most beautiful et me add that the most beautiful tract of all the redwood forests of the coast is the Blg Basin tract. This is not a random remark, but made after seeing all the forests of consequence in California, and some of the most {mportant of the redwood forests north of San Francisco. This ia because of the charm of varlety in the other forest trees, which does not seem to interfere with the state- liness and abundance of the redwood itself, and lends a half-tro al alr of luxuriance wanting in the dark and solemn forests of Humboldt County. It i¢ aue to the tanbark oak, the madrone, the Dauglas spruce, the boxleaf huc- Kkleberry, the azalia_and a large number of smaller treés or shrube. If this forest is not saved this year it is doomed to destruction. T do not hesitate to say that considering the delight future generations will have in this forest, the value it will be educationally and intrinsically to the State, fts purchase is a duty of higher patriotism than any other required of the Legislature. VICTIMS OF CLEVER FORGER. Many. Checks#Are Discovered to Be Bogus When They Are Sent to the Banks. The police are looking for a forger who has recently victimized a number of peo- ple by passing bogus checks. ' His latest victim is Adolph Meyer, hardware me: ger used the name of C. R. Crowell, su- | perintendent of the Cemetery Assoclation, and his imitation of Crowell's signature was almost perfect. According to the story Meyer told to the police yesterday afternoon an elderly man, claiming to be James T. Wright, came to his store and presented a check on the First National Bank for about $30, He stated- shat he had been employed in the cemeteries and had received the paper in payment. ‘The signature affixed was that of Crowell, and Meyer, knowing- the last named gentleman, did not hesitate to accept it. When the check was pre- sented for payment the signature was de- clared a forgery and the matter was re- ferred to the police. Crowell was surprised at the clever imi- tation of his handwriting. The other writing on the check was penned by an- other person, which the alleged Wright explained by ving that a bookkeeper | had written the names and amounts on all the employes' orders for money and had passed them over to the superintend- {ent for his signature. There have been a number of bogus | check cases reported to the police recently and it s supposed that the same person | who victimized Meyer s successfully | working the town.
