The Help of Gods Grace.

while man cannot stop in his own

help him to stop at any time. was

God will show its power not only to
save mans soul, but his body and re-

I verify believe that although you
feel graphing at the roots of your

you will give your heart to God, he will
help you by his grace to conquer. Try

There are men in every congregation

feet, then bends eastward, forming a sad
die; then continuing its growth in an up
right direction. A companion tree of the
same species, six inches in diameter,
grows upward directly beneath the sad
die or bend of the larger tree. This
smaller tree in some manner has penetrat-
ed the center of the body of the larger
one and grown upward. On the upper and
lower conjunction the smaller tree has the
appearance Of two opposite branches,
leaving no break in the smooth bark of
either tree. The body of the smaller tree
above the larger one is much more slender
than it should be, indicating that much Of
It's growth has passed into the larger

On the fame of Geo Coster, located on
the head of Gray Creek, are the remains
OF buried forest of giant redwoods. OF
this there was no suspicion at the time the
lana was located, and the grove of red
woods standing on the surface were all
cut down and sawed into lumber, the
stumps removed and the rich, deep soil
put under cultivation. Last winter the
encroachment of the creek during the phe-
nomenal high water washed away the soil
ana revealed the upright stumps, standing
IN clayer soil, fourteen feet below the
surface of the titled land.
Another curiosity of these woods is a
combination of alder and grape vine. The
eiuSA slahuS on one side of Austin Creek
ana the vine on the opposite bank, the
broad stream flowing between Forty feet
above the ground the alder projects a large
branch partially across the stream, The
single grape wild vine), about one inch
IN diameter, reaches up and grasps the
limb, trailing along to the body of the
tree The question with the observer is,
now did so flexible vine as the one seen
reach the branch overhead, as there are no
trees or shrubs present that might have
assisted the vine.

Sonoma County, particularly that Sec

The evidences of vigorous commissions
are very apparent as the Mendocino coun-
~ line Is reached. There are numberless
indications that this section was included
in those eruptions of lava which occurred
ages ago, and in which great portion Of
oregon and California was engufed.
The petriied forests of Sonoma county
which exist near the eastern line are some
OF the most wonderful sights in all the
state. In number, magnitude and perfect
preservation, these petrified trees are I'M
surpassed. Tourists view them with amaze
ment, and though a trip involves time
and considerable expense, yet the view Of
these fallen giants more than repays the
effort required to reach them.
Along the road to the petrihed forests
there are strewed in considerable numbers
what the natives style castle powders"
These are enormous Isolated rocks Of DIFF
ferent geological formation from that OF
the surrounding country. These rocks are
regarded as survivals OF the ice age. Many
OF them are thousands OF tons in weight

Twohy in the municipal court and

with embezzling $2S3, 223.O9. This is
the money that the bank loaned the

against Mr.. Miller is that he accepted
