The accident which happened last
Sunnay evening when boy through
sheer recklessness shot at Rio Grande

an innocent passenger shows how easy
it is to do something terrible. There
is nothing to make one think that the
boy intended to shoot anyone-yet he
shot with great deal more effect than
if he had intended to do harm perhaps.
He himself is in trouble that it may

The Della Cornet band had about de-

is being made to keep them together.
The band is the best that Delta ever
had and it should. d.sby no means be al
lowed to go out of existence for the
lack of funds to support it. There are
occasions when we must have band

man will respond the band can be

The boys have practiced faithfully
and if allowed to disband great deal

The depletion of forests IN the

to timber lands in Mexico. This
country has vast tracts Of valuable
timber which only await the advent
OF the railroads to make them Of
enormous commercial value. In the
southern rart of the republic the hard
woods. such as mahogany, ebony and
cedar, have long been exploited aud
the supply is growing very limited
within the access Of transportation
facilities. Large forests of such tim.
her still exist. however, in the mere
remote sections. In the central and
northern parts Of the republic there
are large tracts Of soft pine. oak and
miscellaneous varieties. especially Oh
the western slope Of the central
mountain range, where there are as
ret almost no transportation facili-
ties. and along a wide strip of land
extending westward from the gulf
