feet in diameter and fifteen feet in
length. These logs are broken of 80
evenly that it would seem as If they
had been cut OF by axe or saw, but
ali of the work has been done by
nature. While many of them are still
coated with bark, which il the original
hue and could not be detected from
the natural bark, the interior of the
trunk is composed of such material as
jasper. agate and other forms of
quartz In possibly dozen colors, Civ

Quite frequently the trunks contain

cut and polished into articles of use.

cases for clocks. etc. When polished
it glistyens like the finest onyx and
is fully as heavy and as valuable a.
substance. Some of the pieces of
wood, however, have not been COM
pletely petrified and have retained
their natural color.
So it is that here and there one sees
piles OF the material which apparently
are ready to be ignited by the match,
but if they were saturated with petro-
leum or surrounded by the most in.
flammable material not even the small
est fragment would burn. Strange to
say the broken fragments are quite
similar in form to chips and splinters
made by the axe and this makes the
description more complete. Tourists
who have visited the petrified forest
have frequently mistaken the stone for
the wood, owing to its wonderful like
ness, both in shape and color.
In a few places trunks of the trees
are still standing, but none of them
rest on the spot where they originally
grew and one of the largest trunks is
upside down-the top portion being i'm
hedded in sandstone, the lower portion
with some of the fragments of the
roots attached, forming the top; yet
ali of it has been turned to stone An

ley is spanned by most remarkable
bridge. Ages ago one Of the greatest
trees fell across the valley, but re-
markable as it may seem it did not
break in spite of it's great weight.
| This natural bridge is over 100 feet
il length and the log composing it is
from two to three feet in diameter, the
valley being about forty feet in width.
So much of the log rests upon the
SIDES Of the valley that this has pre-.

thus far been discovered in the forest,

trunks coming to the surface it is pos
s!ble even larger sizes may be found in
the near future, although they are so
heavy that, as already explained, near
II all of them are broken into logs,
as evenly as if cut with an axe. Pho

est show how wonderfully nature has
performed this work.

phenomenon and has given it the title

OF COURSE. IT HURTS.

Performers have a hard time or IL. fact illustrated by the protest which the cattlemen of this country are max inc against the movement for the re- form of the beef trust. The evidence already in shows a most urgent need of renovation. Even the Standard Oil company with all it's iniquities was never guilty of abuses affecting so great a number of people.
 The mere attempt to enforce decency among the packers has already dam aged the cattle industry, one of the greatest in the country. But We do not see how this damage could have been avoided unless congress had been content to let things go on as they were.
 It might be urged that so much pub licity need not have been given the condition of affairs existing in the backing houses: that the intended re- form could have been effected quietly. It must be remembered. though, that the packers were resisting by every means in their power any reform at all No reform can be effected by concealment of the facts which make if necessary. An investigation may go to the root of the matter but where the people are concerned it is due to them to inform them of the results of Investigations. Moreover, in this case congress demanded the report which in those circumstances became public property. Anyhow the damage has been done. We can see nothing the cattIemen have to gain by protesting at this late day. Congress can best aid them now by the passage of the most stringent inspection law possible so as to restore as quickly as possible. public confidence at home and abroad, in the products of the packers.
 Until that is done the demand for meats will be curtailed and there will consequently be a Iessened demand and lower prices for cattle.
 The situation is an unfortunate one for the cattlemen and one to which they in TO way contributed. It is a cancerous affection which has become painful by probing. It will never be any better if it is let alone and the removal of it will be necessarily pain ful.
 The more quickly it is done now the better it will be for cattlemen and also for packers.

The sanity of a man in private life would be questioned if he permitted the running of his affairs in any such way He would insist upon such eco nomical direction as brings a reason able return upon every dollar expended.
 Here we have a sample of foolish and lavish waste. Tons of material are printed that have no destiny eX- cept to be stored away by the govern ment and forgotten. Room in public buildings for this purpose is at a pre- mium and the asking of an appropri- ation for more cemetery space for dead printed matter is by no means a re- mote contingency.
 Tn the senate proceedings impeach- ing Judge Swayne, 1O,642 copies were printed at a cost of $5,729.90. Three fourths of them have been sent to the garret, for no one wants them or ever did want them. Just to keep the ma chimes humming and the pay envelopes going, there were printed 3S.6s0 copies of the report of the commissioner of Half of them are on hand and there is no demand for them, though they rep resent about $12,OOO.

THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING
 OFFICE.

The current number of the Business Mans Magazine, dealing with the ex- travagance of the management of the government printing office, says
 For one of the crying abuses at Washington direct responsibility is traced to congress The extravagances of the government printing office show among the worst examples of prodig- ality that a nation can set to its peo- pie Last year they were taxed to the tune of $7'1SS,255.S3 for the carrying on or this institution. A partial explana- ton lies in the fact that it is not run on business principles. public print CT is hired at S4,5OO a year, is allowed practically all the money he wants in conducting the plant, and is subject to no supervision worthy of the name.
