Mere Soft Wood Trees
Are Notu Being Planted

TIE people Of the United States con.
sumo twice as much softwood lumber
as they do hardwood lumber, according
to the New York state college Of for
estry at Syracuse university. The soft.
woods are cut of more rapidly because
OF their better adaptability to mans
needs and their lighter weight.
The pines, hemlocks and spruess
doat easily and this facilitates trans
portation to the mills. They are
hauled by bobsleds or sent By dume OF
cfute to stream or lake and ioatsa

tation such as motortrucks, tractors
and railroads, or expensive rafting.
Even where such costly transport II
required for softwoods the greater
value Of the product has made lumber

type Of logging Is too expensive except
where tie hardwoods are especially

PALLADIUM, in Legend

The Palladium was famous wood
en- image Of Pallas (Minerva), said to
have been hurled from heaven by
Zeus, and to have fallen near the tent
Of Illus, while he was engaged In build
ing Illium (Troy). The oracle of
Apollo having declared that the city
should never be taken so long as Pal
ladium was retained within its walls,
the statue was placed In sanctuary
and carefully guarded. 1t was, how
ever, finally stolen by Ulysses and
Diomedes about 1884 B. c.. and thus
victory was secured to. the Greeks. Ac-
cording to some accounts, Troy con-
tanned two Palladia. one Of which was
stolen and conveyed to one Of the
Greek cities, while the other was taken
to Italy by Aereas and secretly guard
ed by the Romans In the Temple Of
Vesta. The word palladium" Is some
times used at the present day to sig

If the interior of this built-in seat

Beasts as Baggage

r. L. Ditmars tells an amusing story
Of shepherding wild animals from San
Francisco to New York Among them
were pythons, pygmy water buffalo
and two orang-outangs. Mr.. Dit
mars was kept busy protecting the
apes from changes in temperature.
The larger orang had sunny ware
house room, but shivered at night; be
ing given an army blanket, he soon
learned to wrap up in 1t. The smaller
orang lived In his masters room at
the hotel, upon reluctant permission
from the management" By the kind
cooperation of the railroad all these
specimens were transported on the
Overland Limited as baggage; four
days travel brought them safely to
their new home.

Outright theft Of timber Is rare In
the national forests. Each year there
are some cases Of timber trespass, but
usually these trespasses happen
through no criminal intent. They are
frequently due to imperfect title rec
ords on the part Of private operators.
The government maintains a corps Of
rangers and forest guards on the ma
tional forests, who In the course Of
their daily work are constantly travel
ing through the forest areas under
their jurisdiction. This patrol pre-
vents deliberate theft and discovers
and corrects unintentional trespass.
The penalty for deliberate trespass Is
severe and Is applied vigorously.

Pueblo Indians Garry
Fetish When Hunfins

The favorite hunt-fetish among the
Pueblo Indians was the mountain lion
Or cougar, which they deemed the
king Of animals. Every Indian car
ried fetish when he hunted, and de-
rived his power from 1t by putting its
mouth to his own and drawing in his

image-and praying to Il, or rather
the animal spirit 1t represented, to help
him.
The ceremony was indispensable at
the beginning Of hunt. Then before
following the trail the Indian initiated
the roar Of his patron beast, to terrify
and bewilder the game. He firmly
believed that without these supersti-
hous ceremonials he would stand no
chance at all in the hunt, but with
them he was sure to succeed, me ami

COOLIDGE TALK SQUARES FARMERS

The congressional reaction upon the speech de-
hvered by President Coolidge at Chicago when he
addressed the annual American farm bureau fed
Grafton meeting was favorable to the chief exc
cutive, even the majority of the democrats con-
cedng that the president had made sound, hon.
est statement and that he had not tried to hand
false promises to the agricultuIiSts of.the coun-
try.
In his Chicago speech the president pointed out
that the agricultural question is largely one of
price and distribution and he believed that CO.
operative marketing methods are. the best of any
of the various suggestions offered. The president
realized that something had to be done with a
surplus production Mr.. Coolidge brought out the
fact that cooperative associations are at the pres
ent time handling two billion five hundred million
dollars worth of farm produce, practically one
fifth of the annual productions The president
was positive in his opposition to the government
buying or selling farm produce as it would lead,
directly or indirectly, to price fixing The presi
dent does not believe in the government going
into business He believes in the people of the
nation conducting their own affairs and he does
not believe in the government competing with in
dividuals, holding that it is not fair to the indi
vidual because the resources of the government
are so much greater than those sof. any individual
or groups of individuals.
Touching upon the tariff the president pointed
out that agricultural prosperity depends upon
manufacturing prosperity. 1t is also we'll known
in Washington that the schedules relating to the
farmer were practically written by farm leaders
and others interested in agriculture.

Colonel Breen's campaign to have Arizonans
cali the Grand Canyon of Arizona by it's right
name meets with our complete approval, as has
already been indicated in these columns. And in
this connection we would direct the attention of
the publicity bureau of the Automobile club of
Arizona to the canyons correct designation.
Yesterday we received a publicity yarn in
which the canyon is called the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado river in northern Arizona" That's
not SO bad, but it's Incorrect.
Then the story went on to tell about Apache
loop" drive ''over the celebrated Apache trail to
Globe and return to Phoenix by the scenic Super
ior highway.
Where's Miami? Unless an autoist left the
s1eop' road and made detour through the hills
it would be impossible to miss the largest town
on the loop after leaving Phoenix. And Miamans
also insist that the splendid roadway that Miami
boosting started be called the Miami-Superior
highway.
With those slight changes the publicity Woull
have been welcomed in these columns. We must
insist that press agents supply us with facts. =
