New York, July 12.-(AP)-Con-
fidence in business was strengthened
last week by indications of record
breaking prosperity as revealed in
in the National Bank statements,
showing their condition at the close
of the first half of the year. Re-
sources, reposits and undivided pro-
fits of the large New York institu-
lions exceeded the previous high
records established in the boom
years of 1919 and 1920, while Chi
,cago banks reported corresponding
gains.
This satisfactory commentary on
the state of trade, coming at time
when signs of expansion were Wis
ible in various lines of industry, ex-
gendered more cheerful sentiment
in financial circles. With prices of
many securities selling around the
highest levels of the year, Wall
Street recalled with satisfaction that
1t was just year ago that the stock
market began an upward climb
which eliminated in the impressive
post-election boom. Except for a
moderate recession, the course of
prices has now been advancing for
more than a year.
Among the most illuminative as
poets of the business situation last
week were advancing prices for sew
eral steel products, copper, crude oil
and rubber, the last named commo-
dity selling above 81 pound, the
highest price in almost ten years.
With crude oil output declining
steadily, a commission of expert
biologists predicted that the peak
of production in this country has
Eeen passed for all time and that it
was not too, early to begin a search
for satisfactory petroleum substi-
tutes. Automobile manufacturing ac-
tivities continue to quiet down but
production was reported to still be of
record proportions for this late
stage of the season.
No striking changes took place in
the steel industry the most signifi-
cant development being the fore
cast of the trade reviews that con-
sumption would continue through
July and August on scale well
above the summer of 1924. The U.
S. Steel Corporations statement of

Petrified Oak Forest
On Columbia River Bank

Spokane, Wash, July 12-(AP)-
Discovery of a petrified forest of
giant oak trees, believed to be the
| only one Of its kind on the North
american continent, has been made
near the confluence of the Spokane
and Columbia rivers in this state. E.
M. Tardy, United States school in
spector for the Indian department,
now located on the Colville Indian
reservation, announced the find,
which was made by DIR. w. A. John
ston.
Owing to its difficulty of access, the
forest has not yet been fully ex-
plored, but is known to extend for
half mile along the south bank of
the Columbia. The trees are two to
five feet in diameter and some 60 feet
tall.
THE forest, of what apparently
was growth similar to our oaks,
grew on one of the first of the eight
flows Of basalt that partially covered
that part of the state of Washington"
Mr.. Tardy said 1.-The trees then
were covered by subsequent flows.
THE extent of the preserved for
est Is not yet determinable, as the
location makes exploration extremely
NAiAiSuie' iloWcNcI, vi the IeQ26S
where the formations are plainly Wis
ible, the fallen trunks of giant trees
are in open sight and by carefully ne
gotiating the precipitous canyon. the
| standing trees may be seen to reach
height Of 60 feet or more. The
diameter of many of the larger
specimens is as much as five feet and
la tree two feet in diameter is COM
mon.
ITO view the work of time on the
precipitous walls of the canyon it is
necessary to scale the cliffs and pass
over the Lodges made by the breaking
away Of the solid rock. This wealth.
er1ng has gone far enough to open a
passage into the forest that in reality
honeycombs the hillside. Where the
tree trunks have been brought into
contact with the air, the wood has
rapidly decomposed and left the hol-
low shafts in the solid rock.
BY travelling along the lodges and
breaking away the loose accumula-
tons of small scalings, the hollow
forest may be entered, one tree at a
time, as the wall of the canyon is of
solid basalt and the only openings are
where the trunks of the trees offer
perpendicular shafts, most of which
are still filled with the deceiving wood
of many centuries ago."
Mr.. Tardy expressed the opinion
that further exploration of the site
might reveal the presence of animal
life OF the period when the molten
rock overf1owed the forest.
