PENDLOETOX, May A white city
of 100 tepaea is now located at
the Presbyterian Indian mission
on theTutullla. flats. bIk miles
souttieast of this city, where a
monster religious revival Is now being
conducted by native Indian ministers
in the ffes Perce language. '
The meetings were arranged by Rev.
J. M. Cornellaon, missionary In charge
of the. Presbyterian mission, whleh is
a continuation of the Whitman mission,
but he has been ably assisted by Rev.
K. J. Conners. afullblood Net Perce
-.idtan minister, associated with him
In the Tutuilla mission, and other In
dian members of the church. The Tu
tuilla mission congregation is made up
wholly of Indians, and a number of its
members were pupils Of, Marcus Whit
man on the Walla Walla river over 60
years ago.
The meetings are held in a large
"gospel tent" and the attendance is
enormous, the large tent overflowing
with every meeting. Bight Nes Perce
Indian . ministers are ' assisting In the
meeting and a large number of con
verts are expected.
Some of the most hardened tribesmen '
of the Umatilla reservation have been
recently converted and are now ardent
Christian- workers among their people.
The Indian women of the reservation
have done much toward the success of

the meetings, by riding" from plao to
place and persuading their heedless
tribesmen to attend.
Visitors from Yakima. LapwaL plat-
head, Warmsprlngs, and Columbia
river tribes are on tne ground, all Join

west tribes have intermingled until

This,, is the largest religious meeting
ever held on the Umatilla reservation
and outside of some of the Nes Perce
revivals is the largest ever held In the
northwest.
REDWOOD LUMBER CAMPS OF OREGON AND CALIFORNIA
Forest Reserves Created to Prevent tke Destruction , of Magnificent Old Trees
GRANTS PASS. OR.. May The
forest service of the United
States, through- 1U local, branch
which has headquarters in this
city, will take urgent and strln
, gent measures this summer for the pro
tection of the great redwood" forests of
southern Oregon and northern Califor
nia. ; The local reserve covers an Im
mense territory, and in this terrltscEh)
a big tract of redwood timber. Extend
ing from the middle part of Curry
county, this state, to the southern end
ot Mendocino county. California, is the
largest tract of sequoias In the world.
This big tract Is practically all that re
mains of the great redwood forests of
America, and It is here that the saw
mill have been operating for the past
S years. . . .
Had it not been for the timely Inter
ference of the United States govern
ment and the forest protectory lawa of
the state of California, the lumbermen
would have long ago completely anni
hilated the noble sequoias of Del Norte,
Humboldt and Mendocino counties, and
of Curry county, Oregon.
Uu there in tna northern end of the
golden state, and many miles off the
beaten track.of sightseers, are the
great lutnberfflg camps. Up there . too
are the camps of the forest rangers,
the vigilant guardians of the redwoods.
These servants of Uncle Sam are doing
much for the protection of what re
maiiis tf California's lumbering re
sources. Besides the protection abso
lutely of the forest reserves that have
been sot aside, the rangers are also
looking after the enforcement of the
state and national laws regarding the
cutting of trees not Included within re
serve boundaries.
-
Stringent Forestry Ltwi.
No. state in the union has mors strin
gent forest . protectory laws than has
California, Besides the several super
visors of reserves under the forest
service, a state forester is regularly
appointed and legal provision is made
to render the discharge of his duties,
effectual. As enrly as 1888 a law was
enacted in California by which the
board of supervisors of each county is
empowered to authorise owners of land
to plant and cultivate native trees along
the roads and highways.
There are two species of redwoods In
California the sequoia sempervtrens,
and the sequoia glgantea. Both, are
giant wvergreen trees; both bear their
round or ovoid male catkins at the end
of the slender terminal branches. The .
redwood of the California lumbermen is
llie sequoia sempervirens, which may be
regarded as the typical form, though the-
friaantea attains a greater height and
argcr trunk diameter. The semper-,
vlrens, however, grows to gigantic size.
. Splendid Lumber Trees.
Numerous trees of this specie reach
a height of from 200 to 870 feet with
a base trunk diameter of from IS to
18 feet. "The older trees rise to great
.height bare of boughs, while on tha up-

been found, . however, that there Is no
more danger of their breaking than that
of the circular saw. Unlike the circular
saw the band saw carries it own teeth,
these being a part of the saw ltoelf.
Bach mill must therefore be provided
with several extras, so that these may
be in' process of sharpening and setting,
while the other Is at work.
