as it was his first, to the people of the
nation whose honored guest he mas

the last two weeks. The admiral de
clared that any feeling existing in ia
pan because Of recent occurrences in
California was directed solely against
the people of that state and could 1ot
possibly result in any trouble be-
tween the two governments. He ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the treatment accorded MIN and his
staff both in the United States and
Canada and was especially delighted
at having been afforded opportunity
for a friendly informal meeting with
President Roosevelt "You have a
wonderful country and a great presi-
dent, with whom Japan hopes always
to be at peace" declared the baron.

Uncle Sam Wants Forest Ranqers

Denver, Col. July 23.-Uncle Sam
is in dire need of additional rangers
to care for the vast forest reserves of
the West and an attempt is being
made to secure them by means of ex-
aminations today in all the principal
towns and cities in the vicinity of the
various reserves. The examinations
will be concluded tomorrow, when tne
applicants viii be given a field test
at practical work Although the life
of ranger is strenuous and at times
dangerous one and full of responsible
tiles, it is believed that a sufficient
number of eHgibles will be secured
to fill the vacancies now existing.
Some of the requirements of the posi-
tion are general knowledge of lum-
bering and timber cruising experience
in logging camps, a smattering of min
eralogy- and practical mining, the con
struction of bridges and trails and
mucn other knowledge common to
the western pioneer. Experience in
extinguishing forest and prairie fires
is also desirable.

RAILROAD
FROM TEXICO
Special to the Daily Record.

Special to the Daily Record.
Texico, N. M, July 23.-Texico cit
liens and business men in mass meet
ing yesterday afternoon decided to
organize a company to build a road
from Texico to Tucumcari, distance
of about 80 miles. A committee was
appointed to confer with Tucumcari
people with view of gaining their
cooperation. Such railroad line
would connect the Santa Fe at Text
CO and the Rock Island at Tucumcari,
and afford an outlet for the Dawson
coal fields to Texico and eastern New
Mexico and southwestern Texas. A
fine agricultural country will be trav-
ersed and four townsites will be To-
Gated. The land on the route is all
fine and recently surveyed. The only
apparent difficulty to be surmounted
will be the scaling of hundred foot
drop known as Cape Rock, which is
about midway between the two points
and even that may be avoided by ma
king a slightly circuitous route there
abouts. There is no doubt as to the
commercial value of such road.

THE CATTLE
INDUSTRY

East Las Vegas, N. M, July 90
Under today's date, Secretary VIII C.
Barnes of the Territorial Cattle Sani-
tary Board, has submitted to Presi-
dent Austin an interesting and illumi-
mating report covering the months OF
May and June. shipments of cattle
from the Territory for the month of
36.626 for June of last year. The cat
tie shipments for May of this year
were 61,131, as against 26,S72 for May
of last year. The secretary notes that
the shipments this year were nearly
all steers, while last year a very large
proportion of the cattle shipped were
cows and heifers, thus showing an
extremely healthy condition of the
cattle business in the territory this
year.
The Deming district continues to
ship three times as many cattle as
any other, and then follow in order
Roswell, Portales, Socorro, Alamogor-
do, Clayton and Tucumcari districts.
1t is noted that the larger proportion
of applications for new brands comes
from the counties of Quay, Roosevelt,
Chaves and Eddy, where the new set
tiers have come so rapidly during tne
last year. The number of applications
for new brands was 159 in May and
139 in June. 1t is thus apparent
that the cattle business is not dwind-
ling in the Territory, and that many
of the new settlers are embarking in
cattle raising.
