Six months in advance
Time months in advance -
Things grow rapidly out west. One
cannot take a flying trip back east
without finding, on his return, that
the nephew he left as a round eyed
baby is now in knickerbockers and
Is asking questions; that the nurs
ery slip he planted in front of the
door just before his departure Is
now Interfering with the telegraph
wires and the paving.
One of the best examples of phen
ominal growth on the Coast Is the
Pacific highway. Little more than a
year ago this project was conceived
as a road to connect Oregon, AVashm
ton and California. It was taken up
with enthusiasm by the general pub
lic; and newspapers in every com
munity ran column after column a
bout it Before long its planners had
succeeded in marking 'the highway
through Washington. Now it hag gone
through Oregon and is pausing for a
moment on the California line.
At the completion of the work in
the evergreen state, the Pacific
Highway Association nicknamed their
road "The Road of Three Nations."
They decided to invade Mlxico and
British Columbia. -
British (Columbia ywas more than
willing. The Provincial government a
propriated large sums for construc
tion; and announced its intention of
making the Pacific Highway pass
able clear through to the Alaska bor
der. The recent success of P. E.
Sands in marking the trail from Ash
croft to Hazelton assures the early
completion of this work. Now that
the Hazelton trophy- is in the hands
of its winner, motorists' eyes are
turned toward a similar medal, to go
the first car which reaches Mexico
City from San Diego. H is not likely
that the golden wheel will rest long
PETRIFIED FIG TREE AT COTTAG
GROVE
The fertile Willamette Valley was
formerly the home of tropical fruit
of all kinds. This theory is well
borne out by the recent finding of a
petrified fig and a perfect impres
sion of a leaf of the same tree. It
may well be imagined that what is
now the Willamette Valley was in
those torrid days the Garden .of
Eden, and the leaf may be one of
Old Adam's discarded dress suits.
Of this latter, however, there is
no positive proof.
The specimens reffered to, were
found on the farm of W. G. Gowdy,
one mile from Cottage Grove, where
J. M. Hamilton, an oil engineer,
who recently blew in from Victoria.
B. C, has been at work prospecting
for coal. Mr. Hamilton has not as
yet found coal, but he feels certain
that he is in an oil formation, and
that he will soon develope something.
The specimens were found seven
and one-half feet under ground and
In three feet of solid rock. The print
of the fig leaf is on a piece of sedi
mentary chalk. Dr. W. W. Oglesby,
who has made some study of geology,
has the specimens in his possession.
