at every conceivable angle, Some are IN

And the strangest thing about them is that

to n single kind of stone. 1t maye have in
it all OF the above, in fact, every log is
a mosaic of brilliant gems, more beautiful
than any mosaic ever formed by human
hands.
The greatest wonder of the 'Petrified
Forest is the celebrated Agate Bridge. This
is a huge tree trunk, a hundred feet in
length, spanning a sixty foot canyon. The
entire tree is made up Of agates, jaspers,
dhalcedony and other highly-colored and
handsome stones. In the canyon, directly be-
low the Agate Bridge, is a pool of water,
and around it grow the only trees in the
whole country.
Chalcedony Park ought to be set apart
and protected by an act of Congress. AS it
is near the Santa Fe route to California, il is
visited every year by hundreds of people,
and the ground is literally covered with chips,
broken off by the hammers of geologizfng
specimen hunters, so that at every sep one
seems to be treading on precious stones.
Though there are millions and millions of
tons Of this wood, but the time will in
evitably come when il will have been carried
away piece-meal, If something 10 not done TO

WASHINGTON. May 24--John Norris.
representing the American Newspaper Pub

Norris declared that the Root amendment
to the bill providing that the paper clause
of the measure should not be in force I'M
I'll the president proclaims that wood, wood
pulp and paper are admitted from all parts
OF Canada free OF duty, would postpone in
definitely the date OF application Of the

That was what II was intended to do, d
remarked Senator Stone.
Mr.. Norris claimed that the amendment
was inconsistent with the purpose of the
agreement.
As result OF the high prices charged
by the international Paper company, Mr.
Norris said that the largest user Of news

pay during this coming year 10000 more

publisher about $4,000 a year more.

CITIES TO BLAME FOR FIRES
W. L Fisher, Secretary of Interior,
Makes First Official Speech.
BUILDING REGULATIONS ARE pool
Better Codes and Better Enforcement
of Those Already Enacted Are
Needed--GOvernmen Set
ting Good Example.

NEW YORK, May 24.-walter L. Fisher.
the new secretary OF the interior deliy-
cred his first official speech here today
at the melting OF the National Fire Pro
tective association. Secretary Fishers sub
ject was Fire Waste and It's Remedy. -
He declared that the national government
was trying to reduce this loss by requiring
nreproof material in the construction of
Its buildings and making experiments to
ascertain the best material to use. Neglect
OF these precautions, he said was mainly
the fault Of municipalities. Government
statistics, he asserted. showed that the an
nual fire loss was one-haIf the values
OF the new buildings erected during the
year.
III the government" said Secretary
Fisher, should suddenly lay an annual
tax OF s2n on every man, woman and
child in the United States on q promise
Of spending the money for some useful
purpose. that promise would not avaIl
against the storm OF protest which would
be aroused. Nevertheless a tax which in
the aggregate amounts TO that, is being
paid by the people OF this country. II 10
the annual fire loss OF the nation upon
buildings and their contents alone. Not
only Is this property loss paid by our peo-
pie, but in addition, annually 1000 persons
give up their lives and nearly e.OOO are in
Jured In fires. In no other civilized coun-
try are conditions so bad"
Turning to forest fires, tho secretary
said:
Lest years record Is a bloody one. Sew
enty-six men employed by the national
government lost their lives in fighting
forest fires Id 1910. Nearly 100000 acres
Of national forest land we're burned over"
AS remedies for existing conditions IN
connection with fire losses. Mr.. Fisher
pointed out the necessity Of developing
cheaper fireproof materials and the ne
cesslty OF better building codes in cities
and especially Of better enforcement OF
codes already enacted. 81.
