Stone forests are found In various
parts Of the world In many cases
they are hardened Ivy some peculiarly
of the atmosphere and are found stand
ing just as they were when clothed
with green foliage thousands of years
ago. The Little Colorado river, in Ari
zOna, has long been famous as local
ity for such finds. At one place more
than 1900 cords of solid stone, tree
trunks, sections, limbs and logs, were
found by the government surveyors
Most of them were siliclfied, many
seven to ten feet in diameter and from
twenty to eighty feet in height. Geol
ogists say that the petrified trees OF
the Little Colorado were once covered
with mari over 1000 feet In depth
Some of the trees have been changed
to jasper and have assumed various
hues; others resemble opal, and when
broken open the core is often found
lined with crystals of the most beau
tlful tints.

HUGE ROCK HITS
PASTORS HOUSE

WHAT might have proved serious
accident was narrowly averted last
week when three small boys rolled a
huge rock down the hill back of Rev
". @. GilmoIe's residence. Instead
of striking the house with full force
the rapidly moving stone happened to
hit a boulder in its path and was
partly arrested.
AS it was it Jared the bath tub
loose and shook up the house so that
the plumbing was injured. Mr.. Gil
more says that in its flight the rock
made jumps of ~ feet and if it had
struck the house with its full force
would undoubtedly have crashed
through the siding.
After the mischief was done he
caught a glimpse OF the offenders al
they ran away, but could not recog.
nize any of them. The matter hal
been reported to Marshal Ganger wht

Experienced strawberry men are ad
vising against the shipping of plants
out of the valley, when they can be
profitably utilized at home. While
there is a tendency to lessen the pro-
duction of strawberries at Hood Riv-
or, other sections are making prepara-
tions to increase their yields. That
this toothsome fruit eau be grown
more perfectly and successfully here
than anywhere in the Pacific North
west is not subject for argument. II
has been demonstrated so thoroughly
that there are no claimants OF the
"just as good" order. With bigger
markets, profitable prices and better
facilities for shipping, the strawberry
business should be on the increas'
instead of on the decline.

The sage of the Willamette Is heard
once more in the land. Being at a
safe distance from the meeting of the
State horticultural society, he lifts
his voice apove whisper. 1t seems
that he grows and ships his best ap.
pies In the winter and spring instead
of the summer and fall like the ordin-
ary grower. This is an easy way of
raising fruit, but we doubt II 1t is
very profitable. Other men have
raised things in this way, at II lavish
waste of breath, and finally disoov
cred that nothing was left but a
hoarse voice. 1t would be tough if
