When we get old and lonely, we do

somehow, you feel that God does. Which
makes it all right.

FOREST IN FIFTEEN LAYERS.
Yellowstone Park Has a Marvel in
Petrifed Trees.
From the Popular Mechanics Msxazine,


Along the almost perpendicular
sides of Yellowstone Canyon, where
the river has cut it's way through
the mountains to a depth of 1000
feet, may be seen the remains of Il
petrified forests. grown one on top
of the other. Millions of years ago,
according to scientists, this high,
rugged region was a low, fat coun-
try, only little above sea level and
covered with magnificent trees.
Volcanic eruptions then buried
everything under mass of ashes and
pumice stone. The trees were soaked
by silica charged water and. the air
being excluded, they slowly changed
to stone. In the following years the
volcanic material was reduced to soil
in which another forest grew, the
roots of which must have actually en-
twined among the topmost branches
of the trees underneath. Then came
another eruption and ages later an
other growth, such processes being
repeated during a vast period of time
until 1000 feet of volcanic material
had been shovered over the land
Finally the volcanoes ceased their
activity, frost and rain cut the
great Yellowstone gorge through
the mountain, in the heart of which
may be read the story of its origin.
Along its steep slopes are found
fossil trees now unknown in the
United States and other species
ranging from the vegetation of a
tropical country to that in the north
temperate zone. indicating great
changes of climate since the first
forest was submerged.

FISH COMMISSIONER
WANTS INFORMATION

To fishermen and sportsmen gen.
orally of the state of Idaho:
In view of the fact that many of
our smaller trout streams through
out the state are already so low that
unless rains come within a few days
they will be completely dry, the De-
partment of Fish & Game believe it
the best policy to confne our earlier
fish distribution to those lakes and
streams in which is it known there
will be sufficient water to carry the
fish in safety through the abnormal
ly dry period In this work we hope
that the sportsmen in general and
the fish and game associations in par
ticular will cooperate by sending in
to this Office information regarding
the waters with which they are fam
liar and especially those for which
they have already sent in applica-
tions for lingering fish. All our
hatcheries will be filled to capacity
with lingering fish this summer, and
it is regrettable that this condition
has arisen which will prevent their
being planted in many streams that
were badly in need of Restocking.
Where it is decided that applications
cannot be filled on account of short
age of water, and the intended fish
diverted to some of the lakes and
streams of the interior mountain
country such applications shall be
kept on file and a greater number
Of fish consigned to such waters an
other season if conditions so warrant.
w. M. KEEL,
State Fish Commissioner.
