1913 A Record Year In
 Timber Preservation

The most notable progress yet
 recorded in the chemical treat
 ment of timber to prevent decay
 was made in 1913, according to a report recently issued by the American wood preservers' >as- sociation in cooperation with the forest service of the department of agriculture.
 The report states that 93 wood preserving plans in 1913 con- sumed over 108 million gallons of creosote oil, 26 million pounds of dry zinc chloride, and nearly 4 million gallons of other liquid conservatives. With these the plants treated over 153 million cubic feet of timber, or about 23 per cent more than in 1912. The output from additional plants unrecorded would increase the totals given.
 Impregnation of wood with oils and chemicals to increase it's resistance to decay and insect attack, the report goes on to say, is an industry which has be- come important in the United States only in recent years. In Great Britain and most of the Eurpean. countries practically every wooden cross-tie and tele- phone pole receive preservatlve treatment. In the United States less than 30 per cent of the 1855 million crossties annual consump- ton of 4 million poles may be said to have scarcely commenced. Real progress in the United States dates from 1882. when the Kyanizing process. using bich- lorides of mercury, was develop ed. In 1887 two other processes were introduced, the Burnett process uslng zinc chloride, and the Bethel process using coal tar creosote. These last processes are very largely in use today.
 The idea of timber preserva- tion at first made very slow growth in this country, on ac- count of the large supply of cheap and durable timbers and the general disregard shown to- ward economy in the use of na- tural resources. In 1885 there were only three pressure plants in the United States; and in 1895 only 15. Since then, however, the industry has grown rapidly; in 1913 there were IF plants.

Automobile Business in
 Engldnd is Flourishing

P. L. D. Perry, general man. ager of the Ford Motor Company in England, and H. P. White. continental manager with head quarters Tn Paris, arrived recent ly on a visit to the parent plant at Detroit. The European off, cials' primary object was to hold a conference with Henry Ford and other executives in connec- tion with Ford business on the other side of the Atlantic.
 Asked about the motor indus try in England, MT Perry said it could hardly be Tn a more fiourishing condition. England has been enjoying an unprece- dented trade, boom for the last three years. Work has been very plentiful and many people have been making money. This, per haps. has benefited our business more than any other one thing, for the Ford plant is increasing it's output more rapidly than any other. Although established a comparatively short time, we are turning out more cars than the five next largest plants put to- gether, and we are increasing our capacity as fast as possible. We seem to have entered the British field at the psychological moment. <"

To Automobile Owners
 Arizona and New Mexico


 issued by Arthur c. RingIand, District Forester, from his office at Albuquerque:
 As an automobile owner you are interested in touring. The most scenic roads are at high elevations-in the mountains; the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico are for the most part in- cluded within the National For ests. Therefore, perforce. you are interested in what the Fed eral government is doing to bet ter mountain roads By author ity of Congress 25 per centum of each years gross receipts from the sale of National Forest products is turned over to the state treasurer of New Mexico and Arizona, respectively, for distribution among the various counties for the support and maintenance of roads and schools and another II per centum ex- clusiVely for support of schools. Finally an additional 10 per cen tum of the gross receipts is ex- pended directly by the United States Forest Service for the construction and maintenance of roads exclusively within the Ma tional Forests.
 Arlzona and New Mexico Tn the last eight years have receiv- ed from these funds the sum of $661, 617.98 Last year Arizona's share was $40, 749.94 and New Mexico's $53, 1O9.84. Co-opera- tion between the state and coun- ty authorities with officers of the Forest Service in the expendi- ture of these funds is gradually developing a net work of good roads all over Arizona and New Mexico.
 Obviously the larger the gross receipts, the greater the amounts available for good roads. These receipts come from the sale of mature timber and forage for the grazing of sheep and cattle. But remember that forest fires annually destroy stock range and young and mature timber, and even crops and ranches. Sixty per cent of these losses is the result of sheer carelessness. So carelessness every year materi- ally and unnecessarily reduces the amount of money available for good roads.
 As you travel national forest roads will you set good exam ple and be scrupulously careful in the handling of fires? Dig a pit for your camp fire and clear trash from all sides. Be sure your camp fire is out before leav- ing it. Be as careful with fire in the National Forest as you would be in your own home. Be sure your match is out before you throw It away. Knock out your pipe ashes and block your cigarette and cigar stubs. If you see neglected forest frest fire kindly notify the nearest Forest officer.
 A good road is a road to pros perity prosperity tor the lum- herman, the sheepman, the cow man and the rancher. When these men prosper, the banker. the lawyer, and the merchant in the city prosper. But how can the lumberman and the stock man prosper when the the tim Der and the ranges are burned? Burned forests and burned ranges produce no receipts-no receipts means no roads. Pre- vent forest fires and you build good roads.

CHAPTER XVI.

There was a world of Mexicans in
the plaza when Hooker rode down
through the town. Never. 1t seemed to
him, had he seen SO many or liked
them less.
To the handful of Americans who
remained to man the mill and mine,
they were easily a hundred to one; !;
and though their eyes were wide with
fear of the imminent rebels, they had
an evil way of staring at him which
he did not relish.
Even at the hotel, where the Span
ish-Mexican aristocracy was massed
ten deep, he sensed the same feeling
of yelled hostility and wondered vague
ly what it might portend- If Philip De
Lancey, for making love to a girl. was
drafted into the army. what would
happen to him IL these people should
ever break loose? And did they have
the courage to do their worst?

Let the tides of insurrection come

Aragon accuses them of jumping his

acquiring a valid title. Phil, who has
been paying attention to Gracia Aragon
decides TO turn Mexican and acquire the
title. AraRon fails in his attempt to drive
them on the claim. Rebels are reported

nothing seemed to please them better
than to come between man and man.
II was a madness, he felt sure-the
spell of the hot country, where the
women look out from behind barred
windows and men sing beneath their
balconies at midnight. Already it had
cost him his pardner-would it con-
quer his will as well and make him
forget his trust?
In his impotence the idea of some
perverse fate-some malign influence
over which he had no contpol-was
strong with Hooker; yet when the
blow fell he was not prepared for it.
1t was the third day of their mining
and. with Amigo, he had been driving

into the face of the cliff.
Already their round of holes was
drilled. the fuses cut. the charges set,
and as he retreated before the blast
he noticed absently that Cruz Mendez
was in camp. The shots followed. one
after another, and he counted them to
make sure there was no miss-fire-
then he looked around and discovered
that Phil was gone.

'Ah. no--not in the carcel-in the

Much obliged" nodded Bud, and
rode on through the town. The street
of the Mexican quarter was filled
with strange people hurrying to and
fro; long packtrains loaded with
trunks and curious bundles came
swinging up from below; and pair of
rurales. looking fierce under their
huge sombreros stood guard by the
cuartel door.
Where is the captain?" demanded
Hooked. After requesting him to hang
his pistol-belt on his saddle-horn. a
sergeant showed him in to the chief.

papers and orders. but as the Ameri-

Five years!" exclaimed Hooker;
and then, instead of starting the ex-
pected ugh-house--upon which the
rural guards were prepared to jump on
his back-he simply threw down his
hat and cursed. Not anyone in par

and at the end of it he turned once
more upon the watchfud captain.

up and thrust 1t in his pocket.

said, saluting and turning upon his
