Humboldt Supervisors Vote To Buy Red-Wood Grove

That the Supervisors of Humboldt County, California, have just voted to purchase the Redwood tract known as North Dyerville Flat is the word received today by J; D. Grant, Chairman of the Save the Redwoods League. The preservation of this grove as a public park is a very important step in the completion of the first unit of the Humboldt State Redwood Park. rvhich extends for 12 miles along the state highway between Miranda and Dyerville, Humboldt County, California. Probably the finest trees along the highrvay in this vicinity are found in the North Dyerville Flat which the Humboldt Supervisors have just voted to purchase. This action follorvs closely upon the gift by the Pacific Lumber Company of the South Dyerville Flat, a wonderful tract of 289 acres containing 23 million feet of timber. This tract is to be known as the Simon .f. Murphy Memorial Grove in honor of the founder of the company rvhich is giving it. With the exception of 2 small pieces of timber rvhich the Save the Redwoods. League hopes to acquire for the state within a short time,, the 12 miles stretch Miranda and Dyerville will be com-pleted upon the final acquisition of the timber which the Humboldt County Supervisors have decided to acquire.
