One of the most public spirited gifts ever made to the government came @uring the year from William Kent of Chicago, who has deeded to the Unit- ed States 295 acres of primeval red- wood forest on the southern slope of Mount Tamalpais, about six miles from the city of 8an Francisco. This grove is one of few remaining tracts | of redwood forest to be found in its @atural state in California. At the request of Mr. Kent it will be called the Muir woods, in honor of Jobn Muir, the noted naturalist. The destruction of redwood by lumbering has been very rapid during the last decade.

In the north grove there are ten trees each of which Is over twenty-five feet in diameter and more than seventy from fifteen to twenty-five feet in di- ameter. Vinegar Season Is Near.
