The local Chamber of Commerce is taking up these protests and will present them to the federal Depart ment of Communications in an effort to get the rates lowered.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: People coming in from the Sierra Madres report many fires in the mountains. Many Of these fires are set hy the Tarahumare Indians who believe that they will bring rain. As rule these fires do not greatly damage the timber because there is very little underbrush, only grass, in the pine regions. About the sawmils where much timber is cut and tops, etc, are left the fires are quite destructive.

Chicago Magistrate Finds it Greatly
Outruns That of Man.

A Chicago police Magistrate. after
long years of observation and expert
encc declares unequivocally that wo-
men keep secrets much more surely
than men. iokesmiths, philosophers
and alleged history to the contrary
notwithstanding. He AYERS that in the
smaller things, the relatively unimpor-
tant matters, it may be true that
woman is the more loose tongued, that
she is naturally somewhat gossipy. and
her domestic status, unevcntful as 1t
usually is, inclines her to small talk.
But when it comes to the things that
actually count--the vital, compelling,
tremendous thingS-Woman is SO far
beyond man that comparisons are all
but ridiculous. Moreover, he says
that nine times out Of ten police Off
GERS know this to be true, whatever the
aspect of the question may be in other
walks of life.
Doubtless it is all as the Chicago
man, says. 1t seems likely enough
when contemplated in connection with
certain characteristics Of woman that
are universally admitted Take the
matter of bearing physical pain, for in
stance. There is scarcely a physician
anywhere who will not tell you that
the average woman will bear without a
nlurmur pain that would drive men to
suicide. Woman shrinks shuddering
~ from the slightest impending dan
ger. but she faces real crisis when it
is upon her in a way man rarely rises
20.
II we could get the wives, sisters,
mothers and sweethearts of Chicago to
tell their secrets, We should soon
clear up hundreds of seemingly impen-
etrable mysteries that have baffied us
for many years. But we cannot do it,
Methods that drag the miserable truth
from men, time and again, fail utterly
when applied to women. There may
DC a way to get them to tell the secrets
We know they possess. but we have
never discovered it, and never expect
to.
All Of which seems to ring true. It
is 50 like woman. anyhow. Washing

Einaudi, professor of political economy
in the University of Turin, which de-
clares as an historical event" of the
first Importance the invention of the
single numerical statement in agri-
cultural returns by David Lubin, that
strange man of genius" Lubin is the
wealthy Californian who went the
world over trying to establish an in
ternational bureau of agriculture. and
finally found a willing ear in the pres
cnt King Of Italy, who gave funds for
the purpose.
The institute is now in operation. IL
has hardly been at work year. but
tlready it has achieved notable results.
Tho idea is first to collect as! nearly as
possible statistics of the agricultural
yield of the whole world, and to issue
them in tables Of percentage as applied
to the previous year, SO that the whole
world may know on what it has to
leeu. This is an adaptation of the
present system employed by our own
government, but is more comprehen-
siVe, since it includes actual yield also.
The institute has just issued it's state
hent on wheat and finds that. although
some nations have not yet reported
the yield for the current year is con-
siderabIy larger than last. BY next
year it hopes to issue monthly tables
which will show the condition Of
growing crops. The statistics are to
De collected rapidly and the informa-
ton published at once, SO that the
farmer, the speculator and the con-
sumner may understand the situation.
Atso general information as to scien-
'ilIc farming is to be disseminated
This seems comparatively simple
invention. yet it has taken years Of
patient effort and much money to es-
tabiish working system that viii

this country that an American is the
sponsor of the system. but we need

that an intelligent king has backed It.

San Antonio, Texas,
Widest Rurnors Are Current
Of Insurfecto Success.
Passenger Train neId at Peder-
males Not Yet Arrived.

Chihuahua. Dec. II, by mail to Ell
Paso.-The widest rumors are current
today but no doubt they are eXagger-
ated. The rumors as usual relate to
insurrecto successes. but there is no
confirmation or any way of getting
proof.
The last authentic news came in
over railroad lines from San Antonio.
The operator said he could Lear the
booming OF cannon. but could not see
the lighting. owing to the contour Of
the land. The firing was distant. The
passenger train which was due here
Thursday night and which was detain-
ed neal Pedernales, has not yet ar
rived. The passengers. owing to the
lack of food in the district affected
and the cold nights have probably
been uncomfortable, even if left unmo-
Tested by soldiers or inSurrectoS.
The telegraph wire over the Mexico
& Northwestern Railroad is still down
west of San Antonio and it is impcs-
siplc to ascertain the true condition of
affairs. An official report I yesterday
stated that fighting at San Andres last
Thursday was merely a skirnish.
Cen. HcrncdZ. commander Of this
military zone. took virtual control Of
the Northwestern Railroad today,
whe'l for the first time in d month sol
dirr& We're put aboard a train bound
for the front. The greatest difficulty
was experienced in obtaining train
crews Americans who ordinarily run
the trains. declined fatty to take the
risk. despite the offer of bonuses rum

who declined the work Yesterday are
reported to have been placed in Jail.
This measure procured native crews
TODAY.
Four hundred soldiers We're loaded
into seven passenger coaches. There
were also a carload of women and sew
eral stock cars. loaded with horses and
mules. The soldiers, it was stated, will
be used to guard the road in order that
other troops may be moved swiftly
into the disturbed area.
TIL" move is the beginning Of q cam
paign by which President Diaz intends
to crush the revolution by sheer
weight of Plumbers. The train Travelled
IN t%o sections. preceded by hand
car to test the track, as the insurrcc-
tos have declared that they will wreck
the road if attempts are made to han

is felt for the safety OF the train
which moved slowly. 1t was last re-
ported about so miles west OF here.

OIL AS FUEL.

have fully met expectations. Steam
ship companies also are equipping their
vessels with oil burning plants.
In the navy last year two battle
ships-the North Dakota and Della

plants, and four battleships now IN
the course of construction will burn
oil as auxiliary to coal Fifteen de-
strovcrs also will be equipped Tor
burning fuel oil. In number oil
European countries similar expert
ments are being made. On railroads of
the United States the consumption OF
oil for fuel in 1909 amounted to 49,
939,394 barrels. an increase of 3.0o0,524
barrels. or IS per cent. over the previ-
Gus year.
The total production of Oil in the
Cnitod States in 1909 was 1872, 1S4,:14
