Protecting the Petrlfied Forest.

A short time ago President
Roosevelt issued a proclamation
setting aside that portion OF the
Petriied Forest OF Arizona south OF
Adamana station, on the Santa Fe, as
a national monument or reservation.
thereby protecting 1T from vandals
and stopping a brisk trade in
specimens which were being shipped
all over the country to collectors and
for use as ornaments.
Several scientific societies will soon
ask the President to set apart, 10 the
same menner, the two newly
discovered petrlied forests, east and
north Of Adamana. The latter
districts were made known to the
world last summer by John Muir, the
noted California naturalist. All the
sections named cover an area Of many
thousand acres.
