REDWOOD LUMBERING. 75 



Within the past year the California Redwood Company 

 have shipped to England about 5,000,000 feet. This is only 

 an entering wedsce, to introduce redwood abroad. It is re- 



i.~ O * 



ported that the English and Scotch lumbermen look with 

 favor upon this new (to them) building material. 



When transportation facilities are complete, either by 

 rail or by water, as heretofore stated, as they certainly will be 

 within a few years, it needs no prophet to predict that the 

 California Redwood will, in the near future, have no rival in 

 the lumber marts of the world. 



Within a generation to come the question will be asked: 

 " How long will the Redwoods last ? A few years at most. 

 But in that brief time men will build their castles and their 

 thrones of power upon the mighty race of giants, with the one 

 regret that there are no more to conquer."
