has adhered TO the policy he
~ maintained during the engi-
neering work in the region,
that the isthmus shall be a game
preserve, and the zone is proving
rich field for naturalists. Several
months ago II. <. Anthony accompa-
MED an expedition to the zone. and in
the American Museum Journal he
writes Interestingly of what he found
there.
It was expected. says Mir. Anthony,
that faunal conditions in the Canal
Zone would be undergoing abrupt
changes because of the damming of
Gatun lake and the consequent ex-
tensive high water. From a basin
with no lake worthy OF the name,
with standing water confined largely
to marshy areas except during the
height OF the rainy season, the Gatun
region has been transformed by the
huge dam at the locks into a lake of
164 square miles In extent and a depth
Of 20 to so feet in many places.
Animals Seek New Homes.
This flooding OF ground formerly
high and dry. it was anticipated
would drive many animals, to seek
new homes or might even threaten
some of the more restricted. lowland
living animals with determination. In
cidentally many of the islands and
ridge crests left above water might
have a concentrated fauna driven
there from the adjacent flooded local
tiles. Other phases of the question
dealing with the newly created lake
were the wiping out OF the lowlant
forests by submergence, the rise o.
new aquatic fora such as the water
hyscinth, and the probable inhabita

TWO RESIDENCES BURNED
WEDNESDAY, AFTERNOON

Tucumcari had another disastrous
fire Wednesday which burned the resi-.
dence of A. l.. Walker and ruined a
house owned by +. V. Newman and oe.
cupied by l.. d. Woods.
The FIRE caught in the residence of
Mr.. Walker sometime after noon and
was under good Roadway when the fire
alarm was turned in. Mrs. Walker is
out Of town on o. visit and Mr.. Walker
was but on the road having left in the
morning on his regular run on the r. p.
& 8. w.
The fire boys made n heroic fight but
heavy wind was blowing and the FIRE
had such start II was impossible TO
save any part of the Walker property.
The water pressure seemed low and the
boys worked at great disadvantage
but they succeeded in saving a part Of
the Newman house.
All of the household goods belonging
to Mr.. Woods was removed from the
house and were damaged but little.
Both houses were Insured and viii
perhaps be rebuilt as they we're situated
in very desirable part Of town.

HARVESTING WHEAT

Farmers Of the Southwest are now
about to harvest the largest wheat crop
on record. Labor will be scarce and
plans must he made to handle the big
crops TO the best advantage.
There is no question but that the
larger part Of the crop will be harvest
cd with headers, but to wait for all
of the crop TO become ripe enough TO
head would be foolish. A large num-
ber of grain binders are now in the
cOuntry, all of which should be put TO
work Mt once. Many fields are now
ready to cut with binders that win not
he ready for headers for several days.
All wheat farmers know that grain
can be cut in very much greener con.
ditions with binder than with head.
er and the binder method makes fully
ms good quality Of grain. To begin
harvesting now with a binder rather
than to wait for the grain to ripen for
header means, fewer men in the field
for longer harvesting period, less dan
ger from storms and less shattering of
grain, all of which are desirable. I'm.
der this method many fields will be
half harvested before the grain gets
ripe enough for heading.

Following the enactment Of the new
tariff bill considerable attention is at.
tracted to the importations of beef and
corn from Argentina. Statistics have
figured out that the total imports Of
beef have been only three and one.half
per cent of that Of the supply in our
own country. The corn shipments were
even less when figured in connection
with the whole supply. Therefore II
has been made clear that the United
States farmers are stin holding their
own, and that Argentina is not real
competitor.

Meeting Will Soon Be Call.
ed to Put Club in Shape
TO Go to Work

A few weeks ago we suggested that
the Commercial Club be reorganized, but
IL seemed TO strike against a deaf ear.
Today things have changed and the
time is now here for the formation of
real live commercial club A new be.
ginning Is about TO be made with re.
newed energy from the old war horses.
There Is new blood in Tucumcari which
stands ready and willing to enter into
the work of making something out of
the many opportunities now presenting
themselves Concerted action is needed
at all times.
When the attention of the people of
this city is called TO anything with ac.
tual merit for the upbilding o fthe com.
munity the should work as one man TO
that end. But too often periods come
when activity ceases when there is lit.
tie or nothing before the city requiring
cooperation TO one beneficial end

mate of this city is its best asset and
it has been poorly exploited. The peo.
pie Of the city should rally TO the sup.
port Of the commercial club II has
done much but IL cannot work without
members who are anxious 10 assist in
anything for the good of the city.
A good paying membership can be oh.
tanned il the proper officials are put in
to handle affairs. The position as sec.
retary should be filed with man who
is capable Of coping with the shrcwd
leaders Of our sister towns; one who is
ready and willing TO see that Tucum.
earl is represented as it should be;
man who regards truth rs necessity
when advising strangers to come into
ou rcountry man who is interested in
seeing New Mexico filed with good
class of citizens, and not n man who Is
seeking a pension or place for char.
ity's sake. We want n man who is not
afraid TO work. IL has been suggested
that the monthly collection box will not
be stuck under your nose as has been
the ease during the past, but instead
IL will be run on the assessment plan
with a charge of not TO exceed $1,000
year. The salary of the secretary
will be allowed according to the labors
he is called upon TO perform, and no as.
sessments will be made unless there is
something of real importance to be at.
tended to by the commercial club.
A special meeting will be held at the
opera house in few days. A band con

live stock raised in this county now
than was ever known before. Cattle,
horses, and ether live stock would be
well represented. This proposition is
one that will not take 10 much expense
as some other thing but the good so
accomplished will be of the kind that
will last and the advertising alone TO
the farmers of Quay county would be
worth the time and money IL takes to
make county fair a success. Mr.. Me

ARE
DEADLOCKED
The Mexican Delesat Insist
that Huerta Be Allowed
to Choose Successor

Niagara Falls, Ont, June l0.--A dan.
gerous obstruction to progress on a vi.
tai point in the mediation proceedings
has arisen which again threatens fail.
ure Of the negotiations. The United
States has said TO the mediators In un.
equivocal terms that IL cannot consent
to any method OF transition from tho
existing regime TO the proposed new
provisional government Of Hurta' s Sc
lection.
The mediators are insisting that Gen.
Huerta be permitted to- make the up.
pointment Of the man agreed upon here
for provisional president. This the u.
). absolutely refuses TO accept, not only
because IL is committed against recog.
milton of Huerta, but because il has
been informed by the Constitution
lists that under no circumstances
will they accept peace plan which per-
mits Huerta to exercise the constitu.
tional function Of naming his successor.
On this point the mediators and Ameri.
can delegates are locked. One side
must give way before any advance IL
made.
Some Of the principals have actually
lost hope for a settlement, but there
is n growing confidence that the medi
ators will devise some method Of bring
ing the difficulty rather than allow me
dation to founder on the rocks.
The United States is unwilling to ex
tend recognition to- new provisional
president IL named in accordance with
the method prescribed by the Mexican
delegates The method is that Gen
lTuerta would appoint as minister OF
foreign affairs the man who is design
ted to mead the new government.
For more than two hours the media
tors and American delegates argueC
late Tuesday in vain and II was appsy
ent when the conferences ended that
what hitherto had been considered 1
subject of detail, had suddenly devel
oped snag.
There Is n possibility that compro
mise will be agreed upon. Pedro Las
curain, who was minister Of foreign af
fairs when president Madero was as
sassinated, could be reappointed to The
cabinet to succeed to the provisional
presidency and then appoint as for
eign minister the man agreed upon by
all parties for the new provisional ex
ecutive. Lascurain is persona non gra
Ia with the "Constitutionalists," bu,
II is not believed there would be objec
tion from them for his brief tenure OF
office in order that the transition might
be constitutionally effected.
Predictions that an agreement would
soon be reached were abandoned in the
quarters hitherto optimistic for a quick
conclusion.
