Nearly 400,000 acres were approved for purcrase during the past year, at an average pdice of $4.06 per arre. As areas of suttafcle stse are built tip by the government through successive purchases they are placed "under a ystem <jf organised administration, with local offtcen of the government's forest service la charge. The first object of amintstration is to proetct the forest against fire, for the? twofold purpose of . steadying atreainflow and increasing timber production. There Is. however, provision for all forms of use of the forests not inconsistent with their permanent welfare as source* of timber and water supplies. Some of the areas are already beginning to yield revenue; bo the government through the sale of timber which can be f*-: moved with benefit to ibe remaining stand. Eventually it la expected that they win pnove excellent investments. besides yielding important public .benefits. . Subscribe to the Duyy Newt.

On D one aid* is a symbolic statue of tho Influence of Latin-American clvill- h satlon, which started the colonizing 1 of the west coast a oentury and a b half ago, and on the other a statue ^ ^plctlnx th* 'nflu?r?-?? r.f the *.nT'o- r Saxon and other northern peoples whose Influence has dominated sincu c the taking of the southwest by the d United States. Another striking piece of sculpture g Is already placed on the west wing I of the Agriculture building. o*er- I looking the broad expanse of botan- I leal gardens which surround the Botanical building and stretch badk to ihwaftnytttik at the rear. This is the memorial to Pray Junlpero Serra, the courageous Franciscan who arrived In San Diego In 1769, started the old mission of San Diego de Alcla and then went on the north founding the other twenty missions which rank today among the most interesting relics of the old Spanish occupation , of California. , The placing of the uniform foun- , tain satuary is also under way. In , each of the patioB stands a fountain ( almost hidden in the rich growth of , palm, and grevilliea, and bamboo, ; three growths which are widely uaed ] in the landscape work. The fountains are small and graceful, mod- 4 1 eled after one of the conventional - forms most used in the old gardens of Spain and old Mexico. The con' ielstent effort is to have complete 1 harmony in all the structural and * landscape work. While the preliminary grading and * landscape work 1b being done on the f lower plateau of the Exposition 1 grounds where the completed colony of state and county buildings will stand, the plans for four of the new buildings are now being offered for * bids. Meanwhile the ornamental work is bring placed on the nine 3 completed buildings along the Prado and certain of the other large structures. Most of the scaffolding is down from the San Joaquin Valley buildings which stands at the en trance to tj^qtate section. Dircetly acroBB the sfflr&ll plaza is the Kern and Tulare building, and at the end of the plaza the $100,000 music pavlllion will Btand. This is the permanent gift of John D. Sprecklea.
