A movement is on foot to establish
national park about Saddle Noun
tain, near Seaside The matter will
be brought to the attention OF con-
gress at either the present or the

tion by the senate at the last session
and It is expected, If the proper rep
reservations are made, 1t will pass
the house. II favorable action is
taken an automobile road will be
built from Seaside to Saddle Mour-
tain, through a magnificent spruce
forest, where mammoth trees of this
variety surprise all who see them
because of their great size. Seaside
expects, in that event, to rival Santa

Portland, Or, Dec. 30.-Following
his return from Fort Stevens. which
he visited on business connected with
the construction of better fortifica-
tions, Major McIndoe, corps of en-.
gineers, U. s. A., said that four Of
the 60-inch search lights provided
for use at the mouth OF the Colum-
bia river have been installed, and un-
til six additional arrive from the East
it is probable smaller lights will be
put in place.
Fort Stevens, Fort Candy and
Fort Columbia will be equipped SO
that the entire entrance and ap-
proach to the river can be brilliantly
Illuminated in emergencies, and,
while the lights are intended for
service in time of war. SO as to keer
track of hostile ships, they will be
used for night target practice also.
Experiments made with the big
search lights show a newspaper can
be read five miles at sea in the rays
of the lights, and vessels can be seen,
unless fog intervenes, long before
they could reach point where their
guns could do effective work. The
lenses have diameter of Ave feet.
The lights ara among the largest in

Daily Short Story
THE TALKING STONE

/, for few thousand francs, had never
even suspected its existence, but re"
months later the echo was discovered
and the sotyr of its wonderful qualltles
told to half million readers in ParlS
newspaper. with the result that tourists
came from all parts of the country anu
inside of three years The Crowned
OK" was the most prosperous hotel on
all the coast between Tregannec and
Plouvilio, and Mattre BerdigeauX mao
been forced to add two stories TO the
main building and build big garage
Now the famous echo was not quite
as natural as people thought. and this
scoundrel Belliard knew the secret or IL
He alone, besides Berdigeaux and An
nette knew how 1T was made to repeaa
even words of five or six syllaoles IN
an almost heavenly voice, and the very
next day the director Of the Paris opera
was coming down to hear It. Inc
thought of a scandal made BerdigeauN
turn pale and actually kept him awake
all night.
At ten the next forenoon three auto
mobiles from Lannion brought the great
man and a crowd of friends and beau
tiful ladies. AS soon as they had had
refreshments they asked to hear the
famous talking stone.
"A rock that has a million in its
throat" said the director, and slapped
Berdigeaux on the back
Maitre Berdigeaux led on the caravan
as the only guide and after half an
hours walk along rocky paths and
through shady woods the party came to
a small beach walled in by two perpen-
dicular rocks, and at the end of this
narrow passage was seen the famous
talking stone arising from the sea.
Maitre RerdigeauX was pale with
fright, for he had just discovered on
the top of the rock the familiar sill
houetta of Belliard. but his voice was
quite firm as he shouted the familiar
question:
Echo, are you there
Yes, 1 am here" came the surpris-
ing answer in a beautiful sonorous,
voice Il am here Maitre Berdigeaux,
to tell you that 1 am tired of playing
echo for three years.
A roar of laughter greeted these
words and all the tourists stared at Ber-
digeaux, who was crestfaHen with grief
and red with indignation.
Suddenly the voice sang the Song of
Forfunio as no one ever heard 1t sung
before. Silence fell upon the merry
crowd and when the voice was over the
director cried in an ecstacy of enthusi-
asm:
Il engage you on the spot, my boy!
Five thousand francs a month to start
on. Is that enough?'
That's a word" cried Belliard.
The new singer created a sensa ton
at the opera and soon made 4 fortune.
He married Annette Berdigeaux, though
her father never forgave him for de-
stroying the famous talking stone.

, STA, and consolidated it with Branden-
burg and his other minor possessions
in a permanent union He forced the
neighboring states of France. Holland
and Sweden to respect his sovereignty
and to regard the boundaries of his
governmental estate When he died in
1858 hesleft TO his son country hav-
ing million and a half people, a great
deal of treasure, and a standing army
of 3S, 900 well drilled soldiers.
On January IS. 1901, the son of the
great elector assumed the kingly crown
as Frederick 1, first king of Prussia
He made few efforts to add to the ter
ritory or prestige of his crown, but his
successor, Frederick William 1, acquired
great wealth, purchased much territory
and added part of POmerania TO the
kingdom. The third king OF Prussia
came to the throne in 174O. He was
Frederick II, usually called Frederick
the Great. He fornd a state OF less
than $4,000 square miles with a popula-
ton of two and half million, and when
he died 46 years later, he left Prussia
having $4,000 square miles and popu-
lation of nearly six million people His
conquests we're continued by his son,
Frederick William II, who reigned from
1886 to 1897, and who brought Prussia
up to an area of 100 900 square miles
and to a population OF mare than nine
million.
NapoleOn's Power.
Frederick William III came to the
throne in 1897. Nine years later his
kingdom was laid waste by Napoleon,
and half of his territory and popula-
fion was taken. After the fall Of the
Napoleonic empire, the congress of
Vienna restored this loss and added to
Prussia a part Of Saxony, the Rhine
land and Swedish Pomerenia making
of Prussia two separate pieces of ter
ritory aggregating about 1O7, 900 square
miles.
In the latter years of the reign Of
Frederick William III, who died in 1910,
and all during the reign Of Frederick
William ", from 1910 to 1861, the Prus-
sian kingdom devoted itself to the per-
lection of it's army; the training and
education Of its young men, both for
war and work; and aimed steadily and
sfngly at gaining the supremacy of the
German world William 1 came to the
throne as king of Prussia in 1851. He
had under him Bismarck and Won
