COMPLETING SURVEY OF

GLOBE. ArlZ.. Dec 2S-Bringing

the route of a proposed new line from
Durango, Colo, to Globe, VIII G.,
Barnes. assistant forester of the
United States, Philip Wells, chief at
torney for the bureau OF forestry, and
j. X Campbell, Of Albuquerque, chief
of grazing in this district. have arrived
in Phoenix for short stay.
The three gentlemen encountered
The Southern Pacific surveyors at Nc
Fadden's ranch. 40 miles above Roose-
welt. There are about twelve men in
the party with twenty or twenty-five
mules. They made no secret of their
identity or OF the purpose of their
work. They said they had already
completed a preliminary survey of a
line from Durango to Globe, which the
Southern Pacific people have had in
mind for years.
The line as the engineering party
surveyed 1t. will run about eight miles
east of Roosevelt, crossing Salt river
at a point where that stream empties
into the big lake. It will run about
thirty miles east OF Payson and up
through Pleasant valley.
The surveyors said that they had
found about per cent grade all the
way with no heavy fills or cuts that
would make railroad building diflcult.
They stated that the proposed road
could be constructed at minimum cost.
Having completed the preliminary
survey the members Of the engineer
ing party are going back over the
routes they have travelled and are max
ing more careful survey of the pro
posed new line.-El Paso Herald.

Thirty-four fires were set by campers,
and twenty-five by lightning. Sawmills
set five, and thirteen were caused by
the spreading of fires kindled for the

been of incendiary origin.
There are 23,359. 1873 acres OF nation

Within this vast territory there has
been but one fire during the year that
gained enough headway to become at
all serious This was the fire In the
Black Hills, in South Dakota, which
occurred in October, and which was
responsible for about two-thirds of
the total loss In the district Many

the value of organized patrol of tim

PLANT NUT.sEARlNe TREES.
(By Thomas NJ. Cisel. }

(By Thomas NJ. Cisel)
How many houses have a supply Of
nuts for winter? But few can, as the
nut-bearing trees have almost entirely
been destroyed.
The pecan and hickory were cut for
wagon and handle timber down to
snail saplings: where once were large
groves of shellbarks there now are
only thickets of sinell sprouts and
vines and In but 4 few years more
q pecan or shellbark cannot be had
III less 1t is cultivated. Some few
are now planting few trees near
the home, but on Xii! land they make
slow progress and II will be many
years before they receive the fruits
OF their labor.
The proper place for planting trees
OF this kind is low. dark or black soil
near a small creek or river. On this
kind OF soil they make rapid growth,
often bearing nuts the sixth of seventh
year after planting, and In planting a
grove OF shellbarks or pecans the
ground should be cleared Of all other
sprouts and kept in that condition
until the trees are large enough to
care for themselves. say when they
are ten years old.
The nuts should be planted twenty
Ave feet apart each way, three OF
four In place. At the end Of the
first year cut out to one in place
leaving the incest sprout. Hickor,
or pecan should always be PLANTED
