THE FORESTING
 OF NEW MEXICO
Experiments Undertaken Under Di.
 reCtiOn of the Department.

Washington, March 21.-Last spring the forest service started a forest nuT- sery at Fort Bayard, N. NJ. in order to secure trees for planting the water shed of Cameron creek, which furnish es the water supply for the military post and hospital on the Fort Bayard military reservation. The seed sown was mostly western yellow pine of which there are now about 45O,0 ,00O seed lings. Four-fifths of these will be transplanted this spring to secure bet ter root development. A limited amount of seed of the Torrey, Coulter and knObcone pine was sown but this was damaged by the rabbits. Further ex- pertinent with these species will be made this spring, and incense cedar and Jeffrey pine will also be sown.
 Experimental seed-spot planting of Mexican walnuts and acorns from the oaks native to the region was made last fall Spring planting on seed spots will also be tried. Next spring the western yellow pine seedlings will be tTansplanted to their permanent situ- ations, in open places on the watershed.

WHEN NIAGARA FALLS WANTS
 WATER.

When the unsuitable demand for kilo- watts had effaced the aesthetic fca- lures of the great cataract and had throttled it's mighty roar of defiance until it was but a submissive gasp the citizens of Niagara Falls held a meet ing to decide upon the best means for obtaining a supply of water for their domestic needs.
 Ut is a pity" murmured one of the representatives present. 9 man who was morbidly and notoriously queruI ous, that we, by our past abnegation made the calling of this meeting nec- essary; and it will be fragrant shame if we continue to suffer ourselves to be deprived of the water which is natur- ally and lawfully our own, so that the outrageous thirst of the power plants may be assuaged."
 But surely" pleaded a pacifier, you do not want to go on record as being so selfish as to favor stopping those wheels of industry and causing the dividends of innumerable widows and orphans to be passed?"
 No. no. mol" cried many voices, drowning any answer the querulous citizen might have ventured to make. we shall never be guilty of so glarinS a breach of altruism; our humble aque-
  interference with the present utii- tartan conditions at the falls. We might dig wells
 But" dubiousIy observed mal whose head was dominated by a bump of caution, do you think a decision to dig wells ought to be reached be- fore assurance is given that these wells will not. subterraneously. draw their supply from the preserves that proper Iy belong to the turbines2"
 The unpleasant uncertainty uncov- cred by this unwelcome query shat tered. obviously. the comforting antici- pations of relief which the citizens had, in the face of their better judgment rashly encouraged.
 What would have been the ultimate outcome of the blow would be dismai indeed to conjecture had not the men tai atmosphere been cleared by the pacifer's ozonic reminder that he and his hearers still had the right to ex- ercise their priceless privilege or hoping for an abundance of rain.
 As it was. the people went home ward in a state of no little happiness. although some of them were heard to comment. almost bitterly. on those men who. lacking all fairness and kind ness. hold that corporations strive greedfy to monopolize everything Puck.

THE FUNERAL TODAY
 OF FRANK B. MOSS
It Will Take Place at the City HaIl
 al O'clock.

Contrary to previous announcement, the funeral of the late Acting Mayor Frank B. Moss, will be held at the city hall at ? o'clock sharp, the change from the undertaking parlors being made for the reason that it is realized that there will be a large attendance and the parlors are less adapted to the ac- commodation of a crowd. The body will lie in state in the main corrido. of the city hall from a. m. to l D. m., and the funeral service will be held in the council chamber, beginning promptly at o'clock. The services there will be conducted by Rev. F. A. Penick, but the entire direction of the funeral is under the auspices of the Elks, whose burial service will be em- ployed at the grave.
 The various orders of which the de- ceased was a member are requested by the Elks to report in their respective bodies, at the city plaza at 1:45 sharp. The order of the funeral procession will be as follows: Pioneer band, city council and city officials, Phoenix fire department, Odd Fellows. Eagles, WOodmen of the World, EIks, hearse, immediate friends. citizens in car riages. The pallbearers, representing the different organizations, will be: N. c. Webster for the Elks. F. H. Ly- man for the Eagles, J. R. Norton for the WoOdmen, Jake Miller for the odd Fellows, Theodore Haffner for the Workmen, Paul Kruger for the fire de- partment. C. Lauver for the city coun- cil and Robert FrOmm for Engine com pany No. l.
 The suggestion that the merchants close their places of business from I:30 10 1 o'clock was well received and it $ understood that nearly all places of business will be closed during those hours.
 The arrangements for the lying III state of the body were concluded yes terday by the further drapiug of the city hall. The flag had fIoated at half mast over the building since Tuesday morning, and on Tuesday the main en- trance and the west entrance to the building were tastefully draped in the national cOlors on a somber ground of black. Yesterday a huge American flag was suspended across the main corri- dor. shutting off the entrance to the city library. and the corridors of the Nuilding were appropriately draped in black. entirely cOncealing tle wainS- coting, while a black border was thrown around the walls we'll toward the ceiling. The steps and approach to the building are similarly decOrat- ed, the entire effect being tasteful as we'll as funereal and emblematicaI of a city of mourning.
 The city offices will be closed all day, except. of course, the police sta tion, and a special mention is made of the city library. The arrangements are such as to preclude entrance and tae library will not be available for the public today at any hour
