In the list of state school lands re
cently put up for sale to the highest
bidders was a section of indemnity land
near tWe California boundary line, south
of Ashland, particularly described as
section 34, township 40 south, of range
1 east. A number of people put in
bids varying from the $5 per acre min
imum to $8 per acre. Bids were closed
September 9. The highest bidders were
C. Coggins, the northern California
lumberman, and J. E. Enyart, of Med
ford, who bid $13.05 and $13.10 per acre
for the south half and the north half of
the section respectively, a single indi
vidual being allowed to purchase as
much as 320 acres only. The land is
accessible to the Southern Pacific rail
road and is largely pine, estimated to
contain 2,000,000 feet of saw stuff per
quarter section, which would make the
price paid about $1 per 1000 stumpage.
Coggins already has extensive timber
land holdings adjoining.
Word has been received from M. J.
Anderson, superintendent of the forest
service in this district, that the forest
ry department at Washington has ap
proved the estimates for the improve
ment of the Ashland Canyon road, and
that the money for same is available.
The notification came yesterday in a
letter to President Eggleston of the
Commercial Club. The estimates ap
proved include three and one-half miles
of road outside the forest reserve, at
$100 a mile; three and one-half miles
within the Ashland National Forest,
including much new road to be built,
at $200 tier mile; and four bridges of
40 feet each, costing about $60 each.
Thus the improvements are summar
ized: Outside for line, $350; inside.
$700, and four bridges, $240, making a
total of $1290. This appropriation, in
addition to the 3.000 feet of bridge
planking which the county has given,
will accomplish much in the improve
ment of the Canyon road.—Tidings.
A petrified tree has been discovered
in the forest of Pennebaker & Reeser,
11 miles east of Ashland. Small pieces
of petrified wood have been picked up
in various parts of Oregon, but so far as
is known this is the first time that an
entire tree has been found.
According to the scientific method
of determining the age of a tree, this
one is judged to be about 350 years
old by comparing it in portions where
it has been unearthed with other trees
surrounding. It evidently went down
with a landslide, for it lies at an angle
of 45 degrees on a mountain side with
the spreading branches at the top. The
soil has gradually washed down around
the trunk and roots untill they have
been completely buried.
The tree had evidently been dead
many years before petrification set in,
for the trunk is fill*»«! with little round
holes made by a certain insect that
attacks pine as soon as it dies and the
