the necessary quality. The only need
is a determination to finish the job
Ralph Cameron had finished every
job, he had undertaken in Arizona and
tackled that of beating Marcus
Aurelius Smith for congress. The ter
ritory was strongly democratic and
Mark Smith knew every individual in
its borders. But Cameron finished
this job also and came to congress.
His new lob was that of getting state
hood. He said he would get it and
that if he failed he would not stand
for reelection. 1t was simply a task
to be completed. New in Washing-
ton, not a lawyer, he set about the
task. The consideration that a mere
delegate from a territory with no vote
receives did not carry him far. But
he persistently turned up about the
committees and got the ear of men
of power. He was arnes and de-
termined. He made a good impress
sion. He made friends. He persist
ed.
Probably the best of his stunts was
that of kidnapping Postmaster General
Frank II. Hitchcock, That was sew
eral months ago. The postmaster gem
eral had already formed a liking for
vacations in Arizona. and Cameron
gave him two months of the best
camping of his life and showed him
the whole country.
At the end of that two months the
postmaster general was a con-
firmed statehood enthusiast. The men
of the east in congress were opposed
to the territories coming in. Probably
nobody but the postmaster general
could have brought these eastern
around. But he did il. He
went on the floor of the house and
for statehood. He was closet
ed many an hour with the New Eng
senators. He oiled the wheels,
had kidnapped him without
requisition papers, but il was a part
of the lob hat was to be completed.

DOZENS OF CHRISTMAS
TREES BEING CUT ON
THE MANZAN0 FOREST

According to w. r. NATION, SUI
pervisor of the Manzano National
forest. the demand for Christmas
trees this year has been large. Trees
have been given under free use per-
nit to various churches and schools
and to private individuals under the
regulations that the applicants go
personally to the forest for the trees.
Several large sales have been made
to local dealers. In all cases the
trees are marked before cutting by
the forest officer, since it is impor-
tant that these little trees which are
to form the future forest shall not
be thinned out too much. The trees
are taken from groups where thin
ming of the forest stand can be done
without injury to the remaining trees
and without danger from undue soil
erosion.
1t is unlawful to cut green trees
on National forest land without first
obtaining a permit.
All applications for information or
for permits to cut Christmas trees
should be made to w. r.. Mattoon,
forest supervisor with offices in the
Luna-Strickler building.

graphic report OF General Navarro OF

"In compliance with your telegram
of Yesterday, / sent 475 men under
Colonel Trucey Aubert of the thir-

upon the troops from all sides. AT the
same time, other revolutionary forces
began firing upon my own troops at
Pedernales. After Swing orders to
my men at the latter place, | marched

Colonel Aubert, whom | found in good
shape. After two hours fighting we
dislodged the enemy from their en-
~trenchments. After this | proceeded
with Colonel Aubert's troops to Peder-
males, where the fighting had become
general and very intense. The w
lutionists were about one thousand
strong, and We're doing their best to
avoid allowing our achievements to
Join us.
After six hours fighting ut this
point. we routed the enemy. The rev.
olutionists fled in all directions. They
left forty-four lea men on the field,
but undoubtedly many more were
killed. Many of them were wounded,
but were carried away by their COM
rades. We captured ~thirty-two rifles,
six Mausers, one bugle and a quantity
OF ammunition.
"On our side W. officers and two
privates were killed.
