Special to The New Mexican.
Abiquiu, N. NJ, March Am un-
precedented flow of ice on the Chama
which began coming down the river
yesterday, presages an early breaking
up of the upper ice gorges and damage
b. spring floods. The ice foes are so
large and heavy that they destroyed
g span of the new bridge over the
Chama at Abiquiu. Some of the
chunks of ice stood three to three and
a half feet above the water and pieces
Weighing three to four tons have been
hurled by the current against the
shore. Old timers say that this has
been the heaviest flow of ice in their
memory. Much of the ice is now piled
up high along the banks and it will
take two months before all of it will
have melted. Considerable damage
has been done to low-lying agricultur-
al land along the river.

FOREST CLERK ANIMATION
ON MARCH 16 AND II.
Entrance Salary $1,10o or $1,000 and
Examination Will Be for Men.
Requirements of Position.

Forest Supervisor Stewart has re-
ceived a letter from Associate District
Forest E. H. Clapp relative to the ex-
animation for forest clerk (male) to
be held here in March 16 and II.
The letter is as follows:
Albuquerque, N NJ, March 2, 1910.
Forest Supervisor.
Dear Sir: You have been sent
copies of civil service announcement
No. 116 of the examination for the
position of forest clerk (male), to be
held March 16 and II.
To secure a sufficient number of
eligibles to meet the needs of the serv-
ice, it has been found necessary to
extend the examination to all parts of
the country, and the commission will
certify, first from the state in which
the vacancy occurs, and then from ad-
jacent states, in a constantly expand
ing circle, as may be required.
The need of men to act as chief
clerks in supervisors Offices, and the
requirements they must fulfill, were
set forth in 00-district, supervision
letter of January 10. In order to at
tract such men, it is necessary to in
crease the entrance salary to $1,100 or
$1,000 per annum, as warranted by
experience and qualifications. 1t is
not intended, by limiting this exami-
nation to male candidates, to do away
with the employment of female clerks
Or stenographers altogether, but only
to provide, in making future appoint
ments, that when a supervisor has
only one clerk, it will be man; and
that when he has more than one clerk,
the chief clerk will be a man and 9TH
er clerical positions in the office will
be filled from the departmental reg
listers, either departmental clerk or
departmental clerk-stenographer and
typewriter. 1t is realized that in linn
iting this examination to male appli-
cants, that female clerks and steno'
graphers now serving temporarily,
pending the certifcation of eligibles,
will be barred from it, and that some
of the supervisors will be averse to
being compelled to give up the tenn.
porary female clerks who have be
come somewhat accustomed to the
work, but this cannot be avoided in
view of the urgent need for men
clerks The temporary female helI
now in supervisors offices can become
eligible for permanent appointment as
clerks of the second class in super.
visors' Offices at an entrance salary o1
5000 by taking the examination fol
the departmental register. Those
who now hold permanent appoint
ments as forest clerks, and who will
be used as clerk of the second class
need not, of course, be required tc
take the examination for departmental
clerk.
/ While the announcement can not be
furnished for general distribution, the
copies sent you should be posted in
conspicuous places, and given to loca
newspaper as information. Wide pub
licity is desirable.
Very truly yours,
! EARLE H. CLAPP,
| Associate District Forester.

PLEAD FOR REDUCTION IN
FREIGHT RATES.
New York is Taking Business From
Chicago and st. Louis Despite
Greater Distances.

Chicago, ILL.,, March A demand
for a reduction of freight rates to
Texas and the southwest which will
enable Chicago and st. Louis to re-
gain business lost to eastern mer-
chants on account of the low water
tariffs from New York, was placed be-
fore committee of western railroads
yesterday. The controversy is an old
one, being brought about by a rate
war between the water lines from New
York to Texas which started about the
time the railroads advanced rates to
Texas about ten per cent.

RECORDS NOT To
BE PUBLIC
Treasury Department Makes
Important Decision Affect
ing Corporations
LACK OF MONEY IS CAUSE
Records Will Not Be for General
Inspection Until Appro-
priation Is Made.

An important ruling affecting the
publicity clause of the excise law
which compelled corporations to make
reports of the business they did in
1909 has just been received from the
United States treasury department by
Internal Revenue Inspector Henr,
Bardshar
Owing to the lack OF funds for com.
piling the records so as they will be
suitable for public inspection the de-
partment rules that the returns made
under the law will be handled just
like the returns made under the 9TH
er internal revenue statutes. The let
ter received by Mr.. Bardshar this
morning is as follows:
Treasury Department,
Office of Commissioner of Internal
Revenue,
Washington, Feb. II. 1910.
To all collectors of internal revenue,
agents. employees, and others con-
cerned:
Many communications have been re-
ceived at this Office making inquiry
as to how the returns of corporations,
joint-stock companies, associations,
and insurance companies, made as re-
quired under the provisions of the
corporation eXcise-tax law (sec. SO of
the tariff act of Aug. 5, 1909,) were
to be handled in the Office of the COM
missioner of internal revenue, and
whether or not they were to be open
to general inspection.
The Law.
The law, paragraph 6, on this sub
ject is as follows: :---~
6. When the assessment shall be
made as provided in this section, the
returns, together with any correction
thereof which may have been made
by the commissioner, shall be filed in
the Office of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue and shall constitute
public records and be open to inspec-
tion as such.
Congress appropriated 100000 to
carry into effect the provisions of the
law. Under general statutes no por-
tion of this appropriation is available
for use in the District of Columbia.
The returns can not be open to gen.
eral inspection in the District of Co.
lumbia without the expenditure of a
substantial sum of money. If, there
fore, it was the intent of Congress to
make these returns open to general
inspection, it will be necessary for it
to appropriate sum sufficient to COW
er the necessary expenses. Until this
is done this bureau rules that the re-
turns made under this law are to be
handled just as returns made under
other internal revenue statutes.
Any person, therefore, other than
the taxpayer making the return, or
his duly appointed agent or attorney,
who desires to see such return shall
make written application to the sec
retary of the treasury, who in his dis
erection will, upon a proper showing
of cause, approve such request. A re-
quest thus approved should then be
presented to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue, who will thereupon
permit the return in question to be
seen by the applicant upon such con-
ditions as the secretary of the treas
ury shall have imposed.
ROYAL E. CABELL,
Approved: Commissioner.
