 Mexican Herald: Although with the exception of Santa Cruz de Guadalupe all the factories at Pue- bla have been running since the day when the strike seemed solved, the proprietors are not optimistic. This is due to the small amount of work which has been turned off by 1 the employees in comparison with that they did previous to the strike. In the factory of "Cova- donga" the property of Spanish capitalist, Angel Diaz Rubin, dur. ing the four days since the solution of the strike only one thousand pieces of cloth have been made, whereas in four days previous to strike the same number of men, 400 produced three thousa nd pieces of the same cloth.
 Mexican Herald: As evidence that the confidence of investors in Mexican industry is not shaken, "La Tolteca" Cia. de Cemento Port land, s. A., has quietly gone about the construction of very large and modern factory for the the manu- facture of plaster of Paris, wall plaster preparations, etc. Land was purchased some months ago in Santiago with unsurpassed facil- ilies for transportation and city delivery. Buildings are now under construction, which are of steel frame type, and imported machinery is now arriving. The company ex- poets to be in full operation within about 30 days The capacity oI the present plant is 50 tons pei day, with buildings already con structed facilitating the easy in

several petitions, the state highway

Five constitutional amendments and

the Legislature, seven bills passed by
the last Legislature have been referred

proposed laws and constitutional
amendments have been initiated.

he will economize in having the meas
ures printed in the newspapers of the
state. There is question whether pub
lication is required in four or five is
sues, the constitution reading that
bills submitted to the people must be

possible to publish for four successive
weeks without having the advertise
ment appear in five issues of weekly

If It is held that five publications
are necessary the state must pay AZ
cents an inch additional to every
newspaper used.
Secretary Pearce says he will not
advertise in daily newspapers every
day for four weeks, but will select one
day of the week and make the publica-
tion four times.

Washingtol.-The curious spectacle
OF Colorado citizens appealing TO Con-
gress and the secretary of agricul-
ture to stop the forest service from de-
stroying the timber in that states
forest reserves is just now attracting
attention here.
Protective associations formed by
citizens OF the Centennial State have
charged that in some of the Colorado
national forests, notably in the South
Park country. officials of the for
est service are selling to the lumber
companies every tree large enough TO
cut a scantling and are themselves
guilty of the very acts of denudation
which the law contemplates they
should prevent.
Complaints of this nature have been
made to both Representatives Taylor
and Rucker. and have been laid before
the secretary of agriculture, corrob-
GRATED by newspaper clippings from
Colorado towns.
The secretary declares that only the
ripe" timber is being sold to the saw
mills, but the settlers declare that ev-
cry tree the mills can use is being
sold
Secretary Wilson has ordered a
thorough investigation.
1t has been known for the last year
that the forest service has been max
ing every effort to sell timber from
the national reserves. in order to make
as good a showing as possible in the
way of receipts. Congress has com
planned at the rapidly-increasing en-
pense of the forest service admins
tration, and continual requests for
larger amounts have served to recall
the promises of former forester Pin.
chot and others that the forest service
would soon become self-supporting.
1t is charged that increasing red
tape regulations affecting the sale of
timber leaves very little TO be turned
into the national treasury.
In the less heavily timbered regions
of Colorado, it is asserted, the saw
mills cannot afford to operate unless
allowed to cut every tree of any size,
and as n result some Colorado water
sheds have been almost denuded.
