Turpsntine Project for coeonino
 Forest.
Albuquerque Journal.

The forest service wants to start turpentine industry in this dis trict, according to a letter to the Commercial club.
 It is planned to lease the right to place 100000 cups on western yellow pine trees in the Coconino national forest. This plan is pract- ically experimental, and if it proves successful the industry may be en- larged. The service has conducted experiments in turpentining yellow pine in this district and, according to the report, they showed yield of resin four-fifths as great as that obtained from similar operations in the southeast, although the season of dippiugis shorter here. Analysis of the crude oleoresin of the west .ern trees shows d close similarity to that obtained from the long leaf pine of southeast.

Return of Ramon vasquez.

Last Saturday TIE OASIS men, toned the return of Ramon Vas quez that morning from the East, where the gentleman went some weeks ago for treatment for failing eyesight, total blindness being threatened, which trouble had been afflicting him many months. He had been treated by eminent oc- ulists in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but with only the most temporary relief Finally it was decided that he should go to an eye and ear in6rmary of note in New York, and submit to an operation, and for that purpose Mir. Vasquez went East early in October. Upon
 the seventeenth ut. the operation was performed successfully and the gentleman remained in the in6rmary twenty. two days, remain ing in the great metropolis some ten days after his discharge.
 ] Mir. Vasquez states that the operation has done for his eyesight all that was anticipated. While
 the partial loss of sight that had taken place has not been restored, ] nor can it be, further loss of sight
 has been checked and he will be saved that total blindness which was feared. All of his many friends will be more than pleased d
 at this gratifying intelligence.

OF the four great getaways TO the

his head sadly when you demand q
Iivlier outdoor amusement than the con-
tinuai park run In an automobile or q
dozen holes at golf. Omaha is q business
town. and she thinks and has her very
breathing In the totals Of her banking
houses and her great wholesale stores.
True it Is that she has borrowed leaf
or two from the knowledge-book OF
neighboring Kansas City and started for
herself most charitable system Of parks
and boulevards. But she boasts no Mob

they move-either east, to big metro

lions has prided herself upon her ex-

Yuan's only Chance.

Should Yuan Shi Kai accede to the
republican demands his own authority
would terminate: he would be at the
mercy OF the republican leaders and the
heretofore loyal army would divide be-
tween the republicans and Manchus, with
the latters' supporters hostile to him, be-
heving that he has been treaeherous
But. retaining the throne, whose power
has already been delegated to him. he
would undoubtedly be the country's
strongest man.
The imperial premier's proposal Of terms
in behalf OF the court. providing even for
the eunuchs has won the courts support
and baffled the opposition Of minor
Manchu mobiles. Yuan has encouraged his
followers to make promises Of abdicatlon
to the rebels and publicly to arrange
plans to this end. but he now regulates
them. declaring that the empress dowaser
authorized him only a week ago to enter
into negotiations for a settlement.
The actions Of his adherents. therefore,
he asserts. were not authorized and are
not binding upon him.
Certain members OF the legislation credit
Yuan shi Kai with honest motives in
desiring to maintain the union by the only
possible means-the throne Many. how
ever. are convinced that he is entrench-
ing himself for a Dictatorship, that he Is
wearing out the republicans and break
ing the power OF the throne. whose
authority will be preserved only suf-
ficiently to serve his ends.

PEKNG. Feb. "A new and strikins

tainly Yuan Shi KA does not intend to

TO do so.
The opinion here is that the rebels do
not possess power TO compel the premier
to act. The republicans readiness to
agree to permanent armistice and also
their willingness to grant the country
liberal concessions inspires the belief that
they themselves recognize their inability
to capture Picking. Reports received at
the capital Indicate that the republican
predicament is worse than that in which
Premier Yuan finds himself.
CONVERSATIONS of property, forced assess-
ments and brisandage are causes Of dis
content throughout the republican prov
