FIND PARTLY PETRIFIED
PORTION OF A LOG

strange work of nature that may
tend to disprove the theory of learned
scientists was reported in Winslow
this week by James S. Shreeve, of
st. Johns, who brought word that
near Springerville, in the White
mountain country there has been
found log, part Of which is petrified,
while the remaining portion is still-in
the original pine log state
According to the report brought
here by the st. Johns resident, his
brother-in-law, w. H. Hamblin, of
Eagar, was bn December %, last on a
wood-gathering expedition about IL
miles east Of Springerville, near
Coyote river, and in gathering up old
logs and fallen tree trunks, was sur
prised to run onto pine log that APP
parently had been petrified.
Examination proved that one end
Of the log was thoroughly petrified,
Mr.. Shreeve reports, while the other
portion was still in its original state
as wood fibre In fact, he reported,
when samples of the log had been
broken off, the portion still "alive, !"
which is rich in pitch, burned freely
as any logwood does, while the petri-
fled portion, of course, remained in
tact.
Colorings in the petrified portion
of the log are beautiful, the st.
Johns man reports, and so far many
people who have seen the samples
have been unable to account for the
queer freak of nature, if such is pos
sible. An effort is being made to get
scientific opinion of the phenomena
and it is possible sample will
be sent to the University of Ari-
zona or possibly to the government
bureau to ascertain the queer work
of nature.
Whether the find may tend to dis
prove the theories of petrification, ors
the cause of northern Amzona's Pet
rified forest, no one so far has been
able to figure and the opinions Of
scientists regarding the find are being
awaited with interest Winslow Mail.

Over $4,000 worth of forage was

An interesting, but not too inspir-
ing example Of the way some of our
big daily newspapers rate aspirants
to the hall of fame in proportion to
the amount of money they can spend
in advertising was noted recently. A
huge bronze tablet was donated by a
certain internationally-kn adver-
tiser in honor of the league baseball
players who gave or offered their
lives in the recent World war. The
name of the advertiser was frequently
mentioned in the long news dis
patches, and the picture of the tablet
he gave showed his name in heroic
letters. The interested reader scanned
the accounts in vain for the name of
even one of the men who gave or of
fered his life in the war. Which was
a damned poor way of handling the
news and damned poor taste all
around.

quake shock. 1t was of less than
minutes duration, but that was long
enough to satisfy everyone. Another
shock, not so violent, was felt at 7:3O
that evening. But slight damage was
done by the tremor, which seemed to
come from east to west and expanded
from Seligman to Gallup. The
shock was felt at Grand Canyon, but
not at Jerome or Prescott.
The people were panic-stricken, and
rushed from homes and stores to the
streets, At the public school the
shock was severely felt, the teachers
and pupils making a hasty exit from
the building, The plastering in every
room in the building was cracked.
AT the courthouse part of the plas

Goods were thrown from shelves in
