Statement MISLEADING

The following letter from Lewis F.
Crawford Of Sentinel Butte will doubt
less throw considerable light on the ex-
istence OF non-existence of petriied for
ests in this country. MI. Crawford, as
is we'll known, has made a study of this
question and is considered an able au-
,thority on the subject.
Mr.. Crawford says: There is an ar
ticle going the rounds Of the state
press. entitled THE Fortified Forests
written by the Rev. J. M. Taylor. This
article has been copied in nearly all of
the papers in the western part Of the

We have, in common parlance. some
petrifed trees: more properly speaking,
silicified trees or parts of trees. the
woody fiber of which has been replaced
by some form of quartz. Mr.. Taylor
says that he saw petrifed trees on the
Little Beaver which are 30 feet in di-
ameter and which are three to four hun
dred feet in length, and concludes that
they must belong to the sequoia family.
What Mr.. Taylor saw was sandstone. more
or less cylindrical in form and broken
into sections, and from this fact con-
cludes that they are petrified trees. The
conclusions drawn are absurd in the ex-
IRENE. These supposed petriied trees
are only cylindrical bodies of %ferrugin-
GUS sandstone with no evidene of petri-
faction or %silifcation. He IS misled by

building has pulled down its pennant
since the Woolworth building has gone
up. That is really a tall building,
something like 700 feet above the side
walk. it is: and even at that the build
ers do not ,obstruct the sidewalk so
much with their material as is done
when a 2-story block goes up in a North

allowed the building to look so enor-

stable and permanent enough. goodness
knows, but in the inside he outdoes
himself. Its vastness is immense and
one feels himself squeezed down to a
pretty small pippin. l know nothing
about architecture, but l know he has
done a wonderful work here and one
feels awed as the poor savage might in
the presence of some great cosmic phe-
nomenon.
The library is new. but the books
have been collecting some time. a con-
solidation of three previous libraries.

sees innumerable women looking out of

are happy. but just the same l am not

the museum and he had many ques-
lions to ask of North Dakota. his one
time state. At the library of the mu-
scum l found the books for which l had
been looking, hoary old Latin and Dutch
and Spanish tones, some OF them pub
lished nearly 400 years ago. The mu-
has perhaps the best botanical
library to be found outside Of Europe.
The main aus of my visiting the
gardens this day was the presence of
the noted Dutch botanist. Prof. Hugo
de Vries. He was introduced to the au-
dience As a second Darwin and while
there can never be another Darwin, yet
he is certainly the closest approach to
the same. His lecture contained but
few points new to me yet certainly it
is a great pleasure to hear him after
studying his books as much as l had.
He took up the problem of the popula-
ton increasing more rapidly than the
food supply and indicated the part
plant breeding might play now and in
the future in helping to solve the prob
lem of food supply.

And yet not from all of these vast mas
ses of books could l find what l wanted.
I found only one out of a dozen or ff-
teen that l desired. l might tell my
readers l was looking up the early his
tory of that wonderful plant, alfalfa.
They perhaps guessed it. There have
been some books printed in this world
of ours since first the art of printing
was designed. The current periodical
room is a wonder in itself.
They have an art gallery in the Ii
brary, and a good one, too. l did not
look at many of them. 1t is as absurd
to try to look at all of the pictures in a
gallery as to try to read the books in q
library. One can pick out 2 or 3 and
look at those, or study them if one is
able. The full length portrait of Wash
intgon by Gilbert Stuart is here. 1t is
a good one of course, but the light it
hangs in is bad. One of the fine ones
is the blind Milton debating paradise

Before going to the library l wanted
to take a light lunch-and 1 col it. l

place kept by a woman. l ordered a
Csc breakfast and got a little pot of
jelly, 3 pieces of toast and a glass of
milk. Each piece of toast was as large
as my thumbnail and as thick as my
knife blade. l determined to eschew

building and what paint may once have
been is quite gone away. The outside
seats and tables in the yard remind
one of the old country. The hotel was
old but the amount and quality of grub
was in some contrast to. that afforded at
the lockwood inn. They commenced
with claret outside and then we sat
down inside. After a preliminary
course of French d%elicacies, unknown
in their nature, we tackled in turn the
sopy, the blue fish course, the roast
beef course. the roast fowl course, the
dessert course. the rotten cheese and
rolls course. the black coffee course and
finally the fruit course. Aside from the
claret there was Santerne and Bosca
Burt, terms unknown in North Dakota.
Many toasts were pledged to the dis
tinguished guest and he responded we'll
and wittily. He said he worked under
difficulties in this country. He talked
our language with some difficulty and
understood it in the same way. He had
difficulty not only in understanding gu
English when talked by US. but also in
understanding US when we talked to
him in German. a slam on our quality
of Deutsch.
Prof. deVries secured the autograph
of those present and l had nerve enough
to request his, which l will cherish in
deed. If in the past or in the future l
have been or will be of value to the
farmers of North Dakota, such value
must be ascribed almost entirely to the
influence of Prof. deVries. He. it was
who awoke me from the deep sleep l
slept.
At the dinner l met my old friend.
Dr.. Raymond Osborn. who at one time
had botany and zoology at Fargo COL

his old time North Dakota friends.

the cylindrical shape of the sandstone.
In the formation of this sandstone sand
was deposited near the shore line and
the stone resulting took a confectionery
form. Sometimes sandstone thus form
ed is more or less globular and some-
times cylindrical.
The territory over which Mr.. Taylor
Travelled shows many examples of both
the elobular and cylindrical sandstone.
Some of the cylindrical forms may be
found several yards in length with lit
tie variation in diameter. The essen
tial fact that l wish TO get before the
reader is. that such cylindrical forms
are not in any n petrifaction. and
neither the outward form nor the inter-
nal structur, lend any evidence of their
being such.

The problems of democracy are not

Woodrow Wilson is such q man the

fallen harmlessly from his armor and

The charge made by friends of
Woodrow Wilson that there is a COIN
bination on the part of the supporters
of Clark, Underwood and Harmon to
defeat the New Jersey governor at the
Baltimore convention has substantial
evidence to confirm it.
It Is charged that the states have
been apportioned among the three can
didates. Clark Is to make the fight in
Iowa, Wisconsin. Arkansas, Kentucky,
Oklahoma, Kansas, California. New
Jersey and Illinois; Underwood III
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Mississippi and Lou
York, Delaware, the New England
states, Pennsylvania. Ohio and adJa
cent states.
Harmon instead of Clark would have
been chosen to lead the fight in New
Jersey had he not refused to run In
the home state Of any other candidate.
The primaries in Kansas and Okla
homa have already been held and III
both the contestants were Clark and
Wilson. In Illinois only Clark peti-
tions have been filed In opposition to
Wilson. In Florida the name of Har-
mon has been withdrawn, and news
papers that were supporting him have
substituted Underwood as their can
didate. In Wisconsin, where Harmon
was supposed to be strong, his name
has been withdrawn in favor Of Clark.
This may not be absolutely conclu
sive evidence Of an understanding
among the three candidates named,
but 1t is pretty strong evidence.
While such a combination Of forces
can hardly be considered fair play, it
Is characteristic Of the influences that
are opposed to the nomination Of Gov
ernOr Wilson. They care little who
the candidate is so that 1t IS not Will
son, and they are ready to adopt any
methods that will assist in bringing
about his defeat.
It Is not necessary to assume that
Messrs. Clark, Harmon and Under
much like q deliberate conspiracy In
this fight for the presidential nomina
ton, they are little more than lay fig
ures manipulated by powerful, but un-
seen, forces. Their putative managers
are merely dummy directors, so TO
speak, who probably do not realize
themselves that they are being used as
catspaws for interests that see in the
election of Woodrow Wilson a menace
to their selfish and undemocratic pur-
poses.
That 1t should be necessary to make
such combine as Is alleged is con-
fession Of Governor Wilson's strength.
If he shall be nominated it will be
the greatest victory over the allied
forces Of machine politics and privileg-
ed business ever achieved by presi-
