Mr. Arthur Do Wint Footo , n civil engi
neer at Boise City , Idaho , writes to the New-
York Tribune a strong appeal for better
protection of timber on the public domain.
Ho confirms what Tun BEE has repeatedly
Khown , that the so-called protection o ( west
ern Umber lands is a slmm. "Tho policy of
the general government protecting its
foroiu , if pallor It can be called , " bo writes ,
"has resulted In that It has never protected
. n tree from cither fire or axe. Its total worn
consists In n fewlaws against stealing which
are more troublesome to the settler than to
the timber thief. The paoclo living in the
arid rfglon know that for every tree cut
100 are destroyed by firo. They realize how
Billy it is to punish a man far sto.il1115 a 1cw
logk whiles tires are parmllted to destroy
thousands of thorn. They latlgti at the law ,
ut.d n jury caunot bo found which will send
B timber thief to prison.
"It Is not oniy thuloss of the timber which
these people deplore ; they fully appreciate
that the destruction of the forests moans the
ruin of their water supply. They may not
be wol : informed In regard to the physical
laws governing climate and rainfall and the
influence of prcvnlllnc winds , butthoy know ,
what the people or the oust nro beginning to
learn , that the forests regulate the floxv nf
streams , They know ihat from the forest-
covered hills come the perennial streams that
keep tbflr uitchus full all the summer long ,
while from the oarren mountains t-otno the
the stream * that tear away their dams nnd
licodgatcs in April nnd become streaks of
dry sand and hot bouldcra in August. * * *
"Tho destruction of the forests comes , not
from tbo great number of fires , but from the
. few that are never put out. People nro more
careful about their fires in this region than
is generally supposed , but tncro nro no rains
until tbo autumn to ttut out tlioso tiat get
started. In the Yellow Mono park , although
thousands of camp fires nro tnndo every
year , the patrol have little dlfticully in keep
ing down those carelessly left to run. It is
the Ores coming in from the outside that
make the trouble and are fast destroying the
wooded beauty of that wonderland.
"This 'Army of 1'utrols' whlrh would bo
necessary to protect those forests Is not a
very formidable ono. The state of Idaho
has within its borders nbout 10,01)0.000 ) acres
of iorcsts nnd would require about 1 , >
patrols. To maintain this force should cost
the htato about $ GQDOO per annum. The
btatc has also about 20,000OCO acres of graz
ing lands. One-quarter of these , rented at 'J
cents per note , would pny the cxoenso of the
forest patrol , nnd 4 ( ) , < ) 00 more. The services
of tliesu patrols would also ba in uoniand for
watching and regulating the cutting of the
forest products. There is no reasonable ob
jection to cutting much of tbo timber of
these foresti. If properly done it would DO
a marked benetlt. "
The preservation of timber land is essen
tial to the future welfare of the people and
the uccess of irrlcatlon. Mr. Footo argues
that this can bo best accomplished by ceding
the public laud to the respective states and
territories , but the cession should bo condi
tioned that the forests be reserved to the
public for all time. In no other way can
they be saved from tbo grasp of greedy wood
butchers and tbo fires of campers. The cx-
rcrionco of eastern states should bo heeded
In tbo west. It is a well established fact
that the sudden floods which ravnco the
Ohio nnd Allegheny valleys periodically are
larrely duo to the stripping of the mountains
of timber. Without the theltor of timber
winter snows melt rapidly and disastrous
floods are tbo result. Kow Vork btato is
moving before it is too Into to preserve the
Adirondack forest from private ownership.
Western states should emulate the example
nncl avoid the disastrous consequences that
will follow if the present indifference to for
est preservation continues.

The manufucturo of cedar shinclcs has be
come one of the principal industries ofVbat -
cora county , Washington. Two years ago
but very few shingles wore manufactured ; a
daily output o ! Eomethinc less than lOU.OOO.
At tbe present time thcro are twenty-five
shingle mills in nctivo operation in the
ouuty , with nn aggregate output of over
2,000,000 shingles per day. The more re
cently built mills are using machinery of tbe
latest model. Ono of these is situated on
New hatcoin's water front , and is the
largest and host equipped shingle mill in
the state. This mill alone has a capacity of
400.000 shingles per da- , and has adjoining1
the mill three dry-kilns with a capacity of
2,000,000 sblnclos , Avhlch amount Is manu
factured every five days when the mill it
running at Us greatest speed. Owing to tbe
unlimited forest of giant cedar near by
and the superior grade of shingles made
from the same , larpo quantities ot jvblcn are
shipped east , many lumbermen from tbe
eastern states have been attracted there ,
and without doubt many new mills
will bo erected in the near 'future.
'VVbatcom county has many almost unlimited
resources of wealth , which require capital ,
labor and time to fully develop. Besides
fchlngles , thu codur bore would maue buckets
und tubs of an excellent quality. There is
fully 500,000 ncras of Umber land ic What-
com countv alone. Every ncro of land in
the county IB , or has been , covered with
plcantic trees. I have counted os many as
eighteen trees on an aero of ground , that ,
\vero from three to six feet in diameter , und
would buw from ' . ' ,000 to 5,000 feet of clear
timber to tbo troo. The flr timber on Puget
Sound makes the very best quality of lum
bar. Wtmtcom county and unjoining ones
have largo deposits of coal , iron , limestone ,
cur.dslouo and precious metuls.
Capital und energy are needed to develop
the natural wealth of this great northwest ,
and muku it in a feu-years tbe richest and
grandest state in tbo union.

i What U claimed to bo tbo largest chlorln-
Irntlou plant in the world has boon com

und afterwards through the pulverizers.
From tbo pulverizers tbe crushed ore is conveyed -

inders lined with fire brick. Kucb roaster is
flUy-bcvon loot iu length , nnd revolves
slowly 'while the flames from Iho furnace
traverse the cylinders. The ere is hero

Butter's fort , the haven of the early
hrgon&uts and the cradle of California
liberty , has been rescued from decay and
restored to its original condition. The
patriotic work was undcrtaKon nnd com
pleted oy the native sons of California. Tbo
reconstruction of the bnlldln ? * and the pur
chase of the grounds cost (09.093 , $ 0,000 of
the sum being raised by popular subscrip
tion.
tion.The fort is located nt Twenty-seventh and
L streets , Sacramento , and COVCM a portion
of two blocks of land. The hardy Swiss
pioneer , John A. Sutler , deserted by onrao
of the disappointed white men who bad been
accompanying him during hi * exploration of
California , settled on the site of the old fort
in September , 1bU9. His forces consisted of
BIX white tnea nnd eight Kanakas. The
Indians were hostile nnd resented the lu-
vasion of their hunting grounds bv butter
nnd bis companions. In Ib40 his force wore
nugmenton by Jho addition of eight white ,
men nnd thoatUtutloof the rod men rendered
the construction of the fort a ncecssttj.
butter owned the alto on which Sacra
mento stands , and the country for miles in .
every direction was his. He owned many
thousand head of cattle , herds of horses and
was the lord of a royal dominion. In order
to get lumber for use nt the settlement around
the fort no spnt James W. Marshall to
Colotna. on the American river , in El Dorado
countr. to construct n sawmill aud float the
lumber down the stream. This was In 1S43.
Before the mill was completed Marshall
discovered gold. The news spread rup'dly ' ,
and the next season thousands crossed the
plains to California or came nround the Horn
in quest of the gold ot the hills. This dis
covery proved butter's financial rum. His
laborers deierted him and his land was over
run by gold-diggers. Th < 5 claim ho nnd Jllod
for thirty-throe square leagues , which hod
been allowed by the commissioners , was
decided against him by the supreme court.
He was despoiled of his property and re
duced to want.
Marshall never profiled by his discovery.
Ho died some years ago in Kclsoy , El Do
rado county , penniless and ulono in n little
old tumble-down cabin. The state has
erected n line monument over his grave nt
Ooloraa , nbout half a mile from the spot
where be made the discovery that peopled in
side of two years the shores of the Pacific.
The first adobe DricK for the restoration of
the fort was laid nn the 21st of last Septotn-
bor. The bricks arc made from a mixture of
the soil on tbo grounds with straw , nnd Is of
the same material used by Sutler In tbo origi
nal construcllon of tbo fort. The outside wall ,
constructed with a double brick , is uvolvo
feet in height nnd has two bastions , ono on
the cast mid the other on the west , and each
is to be supplied with the sntno cannon that
wore the euardiuns of the fort f orty-four
years ago.
Tne oncinal adoho walls wore laid by In
dians , who used their hands for trowels.
Places have been laid bare -where the marks
of the Diggers' fingers might be plainly seen.

A curious litllo railroad train goes crawl
ing up and down the mountain from Tros
Pines to Burt's limo Tciln in the Gavilan
range , San Benito county , Cal. , every1 day.
It is probably the strangest railroad that
ever was seen ; yet , thus far , not a word has
over been printed regarding it. The train
moves on n curious single track and is drawn
by an eucino sot loxv on it. Both the engine
wneels and those which support the cars
have u single pivot-like piece of iteel that
sets in Iho slot" track , for it must be borne In
mind thai the track has a slot in it not un
like that seen in a cable track. In
addition to this each wheel has a
llance on each side of it , KO that it
cannot got off the track , no matter how
abrupt the curves , The road , as completed ,
is now nine miles lone , but wnen pushed
through ns intended it will bo fourteen miles
la lougtn. inreo men run iu j.ueso QOUSISI ,

In one place there Is an SOO-foot grade
mounted at the rate of six foot to the TOO , 301
the engine puffs right along with three or
four loaded cars , not In the least bothered in
any way.
There is ono grade a quarter of a mile long
In which an average of four foot is gained to
thelOO. One curious thing about it is that the
wheels are in n sense rollers. They reach
from one side to the other. The flanges hold
them on , assisted by the pivot past which
each half of the wheel comes down.

' The rulittcatlou meeting to oe bold to
morrow night should bo made a rousing
affair. Hon. Stephen Ai Douglass , jr. , of
Chicago is to bo the speaker ol the evening.
Ho is a bnllmut campaigner of large experi
ence. Ho is not only eloquent
but full of enthusiasm. It is not
often that Omaha is able to
eojuro a political talker of such eminence.
Wo wont TO bhow him that the republicans
of Omaha are also full of enthusiasm and
that wo appreciate the lact that bo has come
MO miles to speak to us.
"When the delegates wcro elected from
the district and stnto-at-larro to go to the
national convention , the people of this city
nnd the state were seominclv nil of one mind
that Harrison should be reuumi-
nnted. Tbsit now has become
an accomplished fact. Let us tbow by this
meeting that all republicans nro ot one mind
that the election of Harrison ana Kcid should
be brought about cot only by the votes of
every republican. Tjut by the drawing to us
of large numbers of democrats and independ
ents. Let all the ward clubs come with
muhic mid banners nnd the streets throng
with the multitude going to the meeting.
Let there be no restraint upon the shouting
for Htrrison and Uoid.

"It is u great ticket. Harrison has made a
grand president. The moneyed mon.tbe busi
ness men aud the common people all alike
feel safe with his administration. His ad
ministration has boon _ otto'of honesty , of
fairness and purely Anjcrlcnn ; he has exhib
ited the will power and determination to
make foreign nations respect us ; Chili nnd
Great Britain both bowed""to his demands.
With the exception of Washington and Lin
coln no other president has aocoraplis'upd so
much coed for Amened. Ho is a politician of
qreat capacity as well 'as a statesman. He
demonstrated this four years nro when he
bout the democratic canrtidato , Cleveland ,
and also in the great or unizalion of his
cabinet. Ho is ably seconded on the ticket
by the choice of Whitelnw Reid for v ce
president. As nn editor Mr. Reid has
shown himself u worthy successor to Horace
Groeloy. As minister to Prance ho proved
himself to bo n skilled diplomat , and-well
schooled In statecraft. No man of such
accepted ability has been selected for tbo'
office of vice president within my memory.
"If the ponple wont to know anything
more about these two men. come and hear
Stephen A. Douglass tonight. "
