FEAR FOR PROPERTY

Hermosillo, Sonora, Dec. 27.-Al-
though no notice has reached the
American public it is now recognized
as an indisputable fact that the own
ers of movable property are sending
their possessions to the border with a
haste that implies the fear of future
developments. Within the last three
days more than 1000 cattle have been
sent north, and within two weeks it
is predicted that there will be no
more cattle for sale in the state of
Sonora.
Cattle buyers from all parts of the
United States are on the ground, but
most of the stock has been purchased
by ranch owners located in California
and Utah. Several shipments were
made as far north as Oregon.
In the belief that the entire north
ern country is about to be stripped of

Establishes Bison Herd
(By United Press Association

(By United Press Associations)
Washington, Dec. PA new herd
of bison has just been established by
the agricultural department. There
are now five herds under government
supervision, totaling few more than
$50 animals. The new herd was pro-
cured by the Society for the Preser-
walton of the American Bison from
the Bronx park herd in New York
city, and was shipped to Wind Cave
national park, in South Dakota.
This latest acquisition includes fif-
teen animals, the youngest being two
years old. Forty acres of the park
have been fenced for a pasture. The
size will be greatly increased next
spring. Hay will be provided for the
herd during the winter, as the grass
on the forty-acre space will very soon
be eaten off. Contracts will soon be
let for fencing 1000 acres of the 10000
comprising this national reservation,
and the herd turned loose in it next
spring, after which they will forage
for their own food altogether.
Latest figures furnished to the
United Press place the number of BIZ
son in the United States and Canada
at more than 1000. A few years ago
less than a hundred were known to
exist in the world. One government
herd, started in 1909 with 81 animals,
has increased to SO.
The bison herds owned by the gov
eminent are now distributed in Wind
Cave national park, Niobrara national
park, Nebraska; Montana national
park, and Wichita forest reserve, in
Kansas and Oklahoma.
The largest herd owned by the gov
eminent is the Yellowstone park herd.
The last reports of the warden showed
143 fenced animals and 40 wild ones.
DR.. Henry w. Henshaw, chief of the
biological survey, believes the abnor-
NAL increase of the fenced animals is
because the tanner animals steal the
calves of the wild animals.

Union officials said their demands

the consideration of transportation IA
cilities and of doing business after the
accustomed manner of the people them
selves.
Take the Germans. for instance. In
China there is a great demand for cali
co, and the Germans were quick to see
it. To get the goods into the interior
the Germans realized that much of 1t
would have to be transported on boats
on the rivers. The service is poor and
the boats often upset or the cargoes
are thrown into the water by collisions.
For this reason the Germans packed the
calico in water-tight cases. When the
cases were thrown into the water they
fioated and were simply placed bacS on
the boat or on another boat. The goods
were undamaged. When a case of
American-made calico went into the
water however. the goods had to be un-
packed and dried before they could be
shipped the rest of the way
"One of the reasons that we have not
taken the interest in the trade of the
Orient that we should is because we
have to turn our attention to others
With the opening of the Panama canal,
however, we should make a concerted
effort to study the commercial conditions
of the Orient and carry our trade there.
There is no reason why Americans should
not be the commanding figure in the
Far East with the Panama canal in
operation
1.-The canal will put us as near to the
Orient as any other European nation,
and we shall be able to ship our goods
there as quickly as any European coun-
try. Now is the time to make con-
certed effort to reach China especially.
AS China advances it will have new
needs AS these needs increase we should
be quick to respond and be among the
first to meet them in a manner salts

''As an instance of new needs that
spring up with new customs and new
ideas, the demand for hats in China
was greatly increased whetr the people

Retiring Minister to China
Says Opportunities Are
Overlooked

Chicago, July 19.-(Special)-Tha the
United States should be the commanding
figure in trade in the Far East with
the opening of the Panama canal, was
the declaration of w. j. Calhoun, former
Minister to China, who has returned to
his home in Chicago.
Mr. Calhoun declared that American
people are not taking advantage of the
opportunities offered their commerce in
China, and placed the blame for failure
to cope with European nations in the
past on the lack of study devoted to
the needs and conditions of the people
and the country. He outlined the tre-
mendous possibilities that are awaiting
American manufactures, as the countries
In the Orient are beginning to wake up
and join the progressive movement of
the rest of the world.
His topic was China"
THE American people are not taking
advantage of the opportunities offered by
China" he said. There are tremen-
dous possibilities in China. Few bust
ness men in this country seem to realize
that China is really at the beginning of
its development. The population is large
and conditions are ripe for Western
products for manufactured articles, to
come in there. The people haven't come
up to our standard of living as yet, and
there are lots OF necessities of the West
ern world which will find a ready mar
1Set with the awakening of the country,
For instance, there are few bicycles
in China. There are practically no auto
mobiles. The manufacture of both of
these articles the United States stands
in the front and the market for them
is ripe.
For years the Germans and the
French have been cultivating the COM
merce in the Orient. They have taken
the pains to meet them in a manner
satisfactory to the people. They have
studied methods of packing goods which
necessarily must be put up in different
shape from those distributed in most
, other countries. Before they started on
their campaign to extend their trade in
