the supreme court in June, though at that time the case cannot be decided since the court will not meet to hear cases until next January. At 5 o'clock Mayor Adams, T. J. Barklev and w. L. Tiffany of the Commercial club visited the board again and were informed that it had decided to he governed by Judge Bakers advice in which he had represented that to ac- cede to the request of. the club would he an admission of the validity Of the commissioner of immigration law. If the law were decided to be valid then the board could undertake the arrange ment now proposed. If not, the board might be held responsible for any money paid out under it.
 The subject was again discussed at considerable length by the members of the beard and the members of the committee, but no definite conclusion was reached. The members of the beard said they were in full accord with the objects of the club and would willingly appropriate money for the purpose of advertising, which they be- lieved would be peculiarly effective this season. Supervisor Norton sug- gested that the club request the gov ernor to call for the resignation of Major Jordan at once pending the next meeting of the supreme court. At that time, if there were no decision, the board might decide to dismiss the pending action and comply with the wishes of the club.
 The members of the club have s. lecter w. L. Tiffany for commissioner and MT. Norton said a moro satisfac- tory selection could not be made, So that there is no difference of opinion as to the object sought to be ac- complished, only regarding the methoJ of attaining it The club has guar anteed that no part of the money re- ceived from the county shall go to the maintenance of the club. That will be supported wholly by a system of dues to be paid by the members.

PETR1FIED WOOD.
Chalcedony Park May Contribute to
 the Capitol Building.

H. B. St. Claire of the capitol site commission returned on Friday night from a visit to the petrified forest, where he went to ascertain if it would be possible to utilize any of the petrified wood in the construction of the capitol building. He was accom- panied by Frank Buck, who knows more about the forest than any other man living. MT. St. Claire found that he could obtain slabs of the wood ranging in thickness from two inches to six feet in diameter, and sections of logs six feet in diameter Some of the trees are 134 feet long, broken into sections, some of which are seven feet in length. He also learned that it would cost $15 a ton to put the wood on the cars at Holbrook. He believes that bases for columns and other trimmings of this wood might be used Were it not for the extreme hardness of the wood, involving great expense in working it, sections of the logs might be used for columns.
