TRUE FOSSIL FORESTS.
Yellowstone Parks Array of STONY
Relics of Volcano Activity.

Yellowstone Parks Array of StoWy
Relics Of Volcano Activity.
Remarkable fossil forests exist In
Yellowstone park. the most remark
able, 1t Is believed. of the several fossil
forests which have been discovered
there are others In Egypt, In California
and In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the YeA-
lowstone most of the trees were en-
tombed in their original upright posi-
ton and not found recumbent and scat
tered about the ground
In Arizona. for instance. the fossil
lied trunks have evidently been car
ried a long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew and where they
are entombed by the outpour1ng Of
various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are Left standing erect ON the steep hill
sides. just as they stood when they
were living. In fact, 1t Is difficult at q
little distance to distinguish some of
these fossil trunks from the hchen COW
cred etumps OF kindred living species.
Such an aggregation of fossil trunks Is
therefore well entitled to be called a
true fossil forest.
1t should not be supposed. however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and similar branches, for the mass of
volcanic material falling ON them strip
ped them down TO bare. upright trunks.

the dairy stock interests are organized
and definite lines of breeding are laid
down and followed, as, for instance.

above statement, or go into some herds

but he has caused the farmer to have
before his eyes a living example of
what Hiram Smith so aptly termed.
Professor Fraser of Illinois In one of
his studies brought out a very forceful
example of the influence Of pure bred
sire. He showed by actual data that
wherever a pure bred sire was used
the labor income Of the farmer was
decidedly greater. 1t appears that
where pure bred sires were used the
income was 1897 as against $439 where
grade sires were used and $17S where
scrubs were used
Ia there any better example Of the
upbuilding and educating influence
which the use of pure bred sire has
exerted?
At the Kansas Agricultural college a
most excellent demonstration is now
being made Of the importance of the
sire. The chief Holstein herd bull is
Sir Carlotta Pontiac Cronus, a grand
son of Hengerveld De Kol. The first
heifers from this sire have just recent
~ completed their first lactation Pc
riod. There are nine of them, and they
have averaged as two-year-olds 1900
pounds more of milk and sixty-five of
butter fat than the best record of any
OF their dams. This is an excellent IL
lustration of the prepotent power of
some sires. An animal of this kind,
even though not classed as a show bull.

CALLS ON PROF. FOR SPEECH.

Prof. o. w. James showed the boys
that he could return a compliment
this week. 1t happened this way !:
After FRANKLIN Pettibone came home
from his trip to Moscow and the Lew
iston stock show last fall, Professor
James thought 1t the proper thing,
the first day he got back to school,
to make a speech and tell what he
had seen and done while on his trip.
The first thing when school started
after New Year, Franklin called on
the Professor to make a speech and
tell what he saw and did on his trip
to Grangeville (where he went for a
marriage license,) and on the trip to
Kooskia. Prof made the speech
but did not get as much elecution
into it as on some other occasions.
Also, he probably noticed that in
speech making, there are times when
1t is funnier to be in the audience
than ON the platform.-Stites Enter

Here we have upwards of 1900 ac-

Several million trees and plants
are grown by us each year, EN-.

kinds of Apples, Pears, Cherries,
Plums. Prunes, Peaches, Apricots,
Ounce, to say nothing of the many
kinds of Berries, Nut Trees, Shade

To handle an assortment like this,
everything must be done systemat-
ically and in order.
From our own large orchard con-
tanning trees of practically all the
varieties we grow, are cut the
scions and bud sticks from which
our trees are propagated. This in

Only once In the history Of the world
has a queen been officially known as a
king. This was in Hungary. when the
Hungarians gave the name OF king to
their Queen Mary in order to avoid
the infamy which the laws OF that
country cast upon those who are gov
erned by women. She bore the title of
King Mary till her marriage with Sigis-
mund. After that she took the title Of
queen.

4 TEXAS EXPOSITION.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

San Antonio. Tex, a city much in the
public eye these days as the headquar-
ters Of Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston,
has completed ambitious plans for the
staging Of q pan-American exposition
in 1918 in celebration of its 20oth BIRTH
day anniversary.
The fact that relations between the
Washington and Mexico City govern
ments have been somewhat strained
has not discouraged the Texans. Their
plans were in process of development
months before President Wilson recog-
nized the de facto government of Gen
Carranza last October. and they are
confident that by November, 1918, when
the exposition will open, the rehabilita-
tion of Mexico will have reached
point where such an exposition Will be
nomic progress of the republic south OF
the Rio Grande. Moreover, Gen. Car
rama Is familiar with the plans of the
Texans and months ago pledged his
fullest cooperation, and the partlci-
patton Of the Mexican government.
From a standpoint of pan-American-
ism the Texans feel that their largest
city is the logical site in the United
States for an exposition intended to
cement the social and commercial re-
lations between the Americas. San An
tonic has always, throughout its 200
years of existence, occupied an I'M
portant place as the gateway to Mexico
and Central America.

Prior to the passage of the resolution
by Congress, President Wilson. Secre-
tary Lansing of the State Department.
Secretary Redfeld of the Department
had expressed their interest in the
proposition and had pledged their sup
port Secretary Lansing characterized
San Antonio las the best exemplifca-
ton in this country of pan-Amerjcan-
ism. in which we are peculiarly inter-
ested at the present time, and which is
drawing the various republics of this
hemisphere together"
Undoubtedly Mr.. Lansing told a
kind you propose-devoted entirely to
the pan-American idea-will accom-
plish much good"
In addition to Secretary Lansngs
interest the Texans have enlisted the
active support of Secretary Redfield
of the Department of Commerce, As
sistant Secretary Sweet and other Off
Gals of that department.. all of whom
are confident that the Texas bi-centen
NAL and pan-American exposition will
be of material assistance to them in

markets. Another cabinet officer who
is interested in the success of the ex-
position is Secretary McAdoo Of the
Treasury Department. who returned
recently from a trip to South America.
