The redwood of California is the irreur tree of the Pacific coart. Two thousand acres of It exist In Ore gon along the Chetco Klver. South of the CbOc a continuous redwood belt begin and Increases in width from ten mile at Del Norte county to eighteen or twenty miles ana keeps on unbroken to southern Humboldt county.

The climate and topography of northern California have urougni about this limited distribution. North and sontk along the coast in nearly parallel ridges lie the moirn- talns of the Ooast Range, steep una rising to altitudes of 1,000 Jo Z.uuo feet. A few lnrge rivers, the Smith, Klamath, Mad, Eel, Russian and many smaller streams cut through them to eater the sea, and a'ong their C3trs In p'.aces Bre broad bottom lands and gentle slopes.

As the Slopes necuum moderate, the altitude lower, the oil deeper, the forest becomes denser until on the rich flats and In the gulches the second type Is de veloped. On the best redwood flat no other tree grows. On the slopes 225 feet Is about the mnxlmum length and 10 feet Its rentest diameter, while on tho flats, under better conditions, the tree grows to be 360 feet high with a diameter of thirty feet, and oecn Blonall;' giants exceed this. Most of the redwoods are fom 400 to ttoo years old. The oldest tree scien tifically measured was 1,400 years. After the tree has passed BOO years It usually begins to die down from the top. It hM a tralg'ht, slightly tapered trunk without limbs for more than one hundred feet and a crown of horizontal branchei thnt may oesupy a third to a half of Its length.
