DELEGATION GOING SOUTH San Francisco Kipositlon Will Be Helpful to All Northwest, Soys Director of Chamber of Com merce) of Aberdeen. To assure the business men of San Frajiclsco of the loyal support of Aber deen- and Chehalls County In Cali fornia's exposition enterprise of 115, the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce Is sending two representatives of that organization to the south to meet and talk with the merchants. When the Tacoma-Southwestern Washington excursion left Portland last night over the Southern Pacific. I II. Burnett, a director In the Aber deen Chamber, and I- W. McDowell, manager of publicity, accompanied the excursionists. Southwestern Washington is well represented on the excursion and ar rangements have been made for re ceptions at the various places where the special will stop. Addresses are to be delivered at Grants Pass. Ashland. and Sledford. At San Francisco there Is to be a meeting at which Mr. Ben nett will make an address. During the life of the Alaska-Tukon-Paciflo exposition Mr. Burnett was an honor ary commissioner from the State of Washington and has already Interested himself at Olympla In the movement for participation on the part of Wash ington at the 1915 exposition. Relations Are Cordial. "Aberdeen stands ready to aid San Francisco In every manner possible." declared Mr. Burnett last night. "For years past there has been a friendly business relation between the mer chants of Aberdeen and Pan Francisco. The lumber trade has been enormous and Is now Increasing. Pan Francisco 111, without a doubt, call upon Grays Harbor for much of the lumber to be need In the work of construction. "When San Francisco advertises the fair and sends out millions of book lets calling attention to the oppor tunities in that state, we believe that the management of tbe exposltlqn will likewise exploit the entire Northwest.

ONCE A TROPIC . FOREST Communication From AVilliam F. Woodward as to Priceless Natur al Wonder Investigation of a Painted ' Desert. BT WIT-LIAM F. WOODWAJID. ADAM ANA, Arir., Feb. 18. (Special.) We have tramped for two days i through a mighty forest and over the shell-strewn bed of a great ocean; but the giants of the forest are .prostrate and turned to stone, while the ocean in ages long past deserted ts bed, leaving for mankind In the generations to follow, the visible story of Its won der workings. This petrified forest of Arizona may well be termed one of the great nat ural wonders of our country; in fact, like It there Is naught in our explored world, so entirely different, so strange ly beautiful Is lu that only thoe that have seen its marvels can grasp in any degree the wonders which nature, working through the elements, has placed before the eye of man. Ad am an a, the railroad station where we leave our train, differs little from the halting places In tho desert where a treasured spring or water vein gives the engine a chance to drink, and tho listless Pullman passenger, as he looks out upon tho landscape, an excuse to utter that tiresome and oft-heard her esy: "What a God-forsaken country!' The brown hills roll away Into ranges of blue-tinted mountains, there Is much of cactus, sagebrush and greasewood. Range cattle look up curiously for a moment, and Mr. Jackrabbit maybe will show us some fine hurdling as he van ishes from sight. Tha station-house is plain very plain the section house architecturally simple as to lines and material: discarded railroad ties placed on end. form ends and sides, while plen ty of the adhesive adobe mud on top forms a roof well nigh waterproof, and always Quickly and easily repaired with two strong arms and a spade. There Is a hotel a long, one-story straggling building, neat and well ordered. In charge of a kindly hospitable Southern woman; a general store owned and operated by Al Stevenson, pioneer, plainsman, ex cowboy, now Mayor, Council and Execu tive Board of Adamana, and Government custodian of the forest for the official hand of conservation stays not even though tha forest woods be of stone. A heavy but comfortable spring wagon drawn by two raw-boned range horses, husky, ambitious beasts never off a trot when moving, and driven by Charles Bartley, is ready to take us to the south forests, some six miles away. Charles admits diffidently that range riding and roping steers is bis regular business, a fatal admission, as the four passengers bombard him with questions during all the trip. Our road is sandy, crosses the Fuerco River, tho bed some 500 feet wide. today carrying a tiny rivulet which ap pears and disappears as the notion or some underlying bed of quicksand may prompt; masses of drift well up on the banks show what torrents sweep down at times la this land of sunshine and cloudburst. One week ago, following a heavy storm, horses and stage sank sud denly in the quicksand near the ford. All got clear by reason of a cool-headed, resourceful driver, and no serious acci dent has ever occurred yet. We cross a low divide, ana then by an easy road come suddenly among what seem to be but ordinary tree trunks, and nothing very remarkable about them either. There are no twigs, leaves or under brush; they lie upon the drifted sands of centuries, some partly burled even as we might picture one of our Oregon fir forests under like conditions. But on the ground a closer glance and, marvel of marvels, these scattered trunks are not only stone, but the glistening ends show In colors bright and prismatic agate, quarts, chalcedony and Jasper; there are glowing reds, pale greens, deep purples, grays and black all in a multitude of shades and strange designs from the laboratory of the great chemist. To this forest has the name "Rain bow" been rightly given. No trees are standing, and nearly all are broken transversely, the sections of varying lengths showing a fairly clean fracture mm m aat mighty oosaotrt ar had t - t ..5. .- frti.-- in ages past sundered them. On the surface may be seen the working of worms and wood insects, the tiny grooves and runways as clear as of yesterday burrowlngs instead of the ages gone. There are perfect trunks S00 feet long, and at one point a fallen giant consti tutes a natural bridge over ino feet In lensth spanning an arroyo. The trunk, four feet in diameter, was cracked in two places years ago by vandals with dynamite: now. two masonry piers pre vent further destruction. We look about us In constant wonder. How came It all? In cold scientific terms there are explanations, though geologists differ. Written words can convey little of the beauty and mystery of it all to the mind. Here are shells such as you may pick' up at Seaside or North Beach: bits of petrified bone; be fore you in stone is the form of a giant fern; all telling mutely the story of Jungle, forest, breathing life, and the ocean. This the eye can see: once a great tropic forest where living creatures had their being then came submergence, the waters covered them, and forest gave way to ocean: thera was great heat and through. long ages that chemical ac tion which replaced the wood fibre with salts, which hardening left this veined stone in the perfect semblance of the living tree. Time passes. The sea gave way to the dry land. Earth trembled. Trees fell. Sands of the old ocean bed billowed about them at the play of winds, even as we see it all today. North of the railroad nine miles lies the nalnted desert Desierto Pintado of the Spanish explorer. The trees here are generally a jet dibck. in some in stances beautifully lined in red follow- I v.a .n.T.lar rinr, nf the tree, or in diverging lines like a spider's web. The desert extends north for some 200 miles from the "rim" nine miles north of Ada mana. Standing on this rim at an alti tude of 800 feet, we look down upon the verity of a painted desert. Place your self on Council Crest and give to all the imH helnw vou. as far as eye can trace the appearance of castles, fortresses. ramparts, every iorm oi iimn-um-io . ,A .ir.nT fontauH. lliiriP the mind can conceive, then tint, yes, paint, each one in the varying colors of the rainbow, and the painted desert Is there. One little stream we see and an oasis where cattle are ranging the only l'fe In all this quietness and mystery of color, which fades into a purple haze in-, in th Miia horizon. This but faintly features the painted desert, than which there Is none more beautiful nor similar. Of theoforests, there are some 200.000 acres. Those on the south are part of the National Reserve. Visitors may remove specimens In an amount not exceeding -eight pounds. n- .h, niatlnff remains of a nlant which some enterprising concern had erected at Adamana ror ine purpueo ui polishing and marketing the choicest petrifactions.

Royal Clark, a young man who cams to Portland from Spokane a few days ago to start a civil service training school, and Russell N. Davis, an attache of the Columbia Sanitarium. 22 Ralelch building, were placed under arrest on charges of vagrancy by Detectives Hell yer and Maloney last night. The ad ditional charge of practicing medicine without license was preferred against Davis. It is probable that J. H. Neaglo, president of the ' Columbia Sanitarium, will also be arrested, according to state menu made at detective headquarters last night. The complainant in the case is W. A. Mossman, a young man who resides at Eleventh and . Gibbs streets. Mossman told the detectives his story on the ad vice of Dr. Robert Yenny. secretary of the State Board of Health, who exam ined Mossman and found Mm to be in almost perfect physical condition after Davis, posing as a physician, had told the young man that he was afflicted with a variety of serious ailments. Mossman, according to his story to the detectives, .answered an advertise ment placed by Clark in which it was stated that three men were wanted to qualify for clerkships. He found Clark willing to teach him to become a Gov ernment employe by passing a civil serv ice examination, but was told that it would first be necessary for him to sub mit to a physical examination, the plea being that If he were in poor physical condition It would be unnecessary to proceed with the training as the Govern ment would refuse to employ him. Moss man said that Clark directed him to the Columbia Sanitarium. Clark, who belongs to a highly re spectable Spokane family, says that he was running a civil service training school in Spokane, with offices in the Peyton building, and that he met Davis in the office of a Dr. Hammond in that city. He declares that Davis' cupidity was aroused when he Ienrned or the sums of money which Hammond was earning as examiner for the school which Clark had in Spokane. Davis, the Spokane man says, made him a propo sition to come to Portland and engage in the same business here, drawing an alluring picture of the greater opportu nities in a larger city and offering to give him office rerit free in exchange for his medical business. An elevator boy in the Raleigh build lng did much damage to the prospective business of the partnership by telling all persons who asked for room 22 that they were "going up against a Dun k proposition." The lad was aggrieved at Davis because the latter, he says, had once almost persuaded him that he was afflicted with many Ills and had tried to make arrangements to treat him. When Detective Hellyer asked for room 22 the boy warned the officer. While being searched at the police sta tion, Davis tried to tear in pieces a newspaper clipping found in his posses sion. Detective Hellyer patched it to gether again and found that it referred to a physician who had left the village of Sandy between dark and aayngni because of an alleged criminal operation CHINESE " ARE EXCITABLE Orientals Provoked to Rioting by Insignificant Happenings, PEKIN.
