On Battered Trains

The Mexican Central railway station
in Juarez. deserted except for brief in
tervals, for nearly two years, is again
a scene of picturesque activity at train
time. The opening Of the line all the
way to Durango puts a larger portion
OF the road in uninterrupted operation

The equipment has been allowed to
deteriorate and the trains present a
generally dilapidated appearance Not
since revolution took the thoughts OF
the people from work to war, have

and bent and many OF the coaches bear
bullet scars, but the crowds arriving

SCOPE OF EMBARGO
GREATLY INCREASED

Douglas. Ariz, April 29.-Orders re-
ceived at the local custom house
greatly increasing the scope of the
embargo on shipments Of goods into
Mexico were placed in effect today.
The new orders. il is said. prevent the
export into Mexico OF practically every
thing except the actual food necessities
Of life No blasting powder. fuel oil,
coal or coke may be shipped through.
and it is said the order will prevent
plans Of mine owners to resume oper-
ations in Mexico if there should be no
immediate break in the Mexican situa-
ton.
1t is said here this order will have
a serious effect on the Mexican resi-
dents Of mining acmps in Sonora who
have been thrown out of work by the
closing Of the properties. The food
supplies in the camps near the border
are said to be extremely limited and
the foreign companies probably viii

But the work Of the American Bison So
ciety has done more than please the
Indian-it has assured the nation that
such an important historical factor of the
early frontier days as the buffalo can be
viewed in other places than museums.
When the last trace Of actual wild life
has vanished from this country the buff
falo will still be seen roaming its resor-
walton. It is doubtful if the increased
numbers would ever be sufficient for the
replenishment Of the former hunting
grounds. even II civilization had not made
this utterly impossible; but at least
enough buffaloes will be preserved to
make their cumbersome forms familiar
objects for all time
Professor Franklin W. Hooper, of the
Brooklyn Institute. who is now president
OF the American Bison Society, recently
told the writer of the work that has re-
suited i'm the buffalo becoming a perma-
nent reality to this country. While a part
Of the few living animals had been pro-
