FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CO.
OPERATES IN PROTECTING
FORESTS AGAINST FIRES
lBY UNITED PREssl

Washington, Sept 30.-The federal
governments cooperation with the
states in the protection OF forests
against fire has met with such sue
cess that Congress has made $780,
900 available for continuation of this
work in the agricultural appropria-
tion bill just passed.
The cooperation began in 1911
when Congress first recognized the
duty OF the soverLn.eEt to aid In pro
tecting the watersheds Of navigable
streams by enacting the Weeks Law
The law not only provided for pur--
chase by the government of forest
lands In the east, needed for streams
protection. but also authorized the
Secretary Of Agriculture to cooperate
with the states to prevent fire on
other forest lands located on the
watersheds OF navigable streams.
AS a result private owners OF for
est lands in many regions have been
benefited by the establishment OF a
protective system OF proved efseency
During the FIRE season approximately
200 patrolnen are maintained in the
field under this law. They guard an
area of about 10 100000 acres. for
the most part mountainous and all
located on Important watersheds.
This area is protected at a very
low cost per acre. A much larger
area is protected IL the same states
by state employees and private agen-
cies. All told expenditures from a
state and private funds for this pur.
pose are from three to Eve times as
great as those from Federal funds.
To secure federal aid a state must
have provided by law a system OF
forest fire protection. and its expendi-
lures must at leas; equal the govern
ments No state is allotted more
than $1,000. The ststes which are
now receiving aid are Maine. New
Hampshire. Vermont. Massachusetts,.
Connecticut. New York. New Jersey.

Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota.
South Dakota. Montana, Idaho. Wash

CENTRAL CHURCH
MAKES PROGRESS
INTERESTING FACTS SHOWN IN
THE FOLDER ISSUED BY
THE PASTOR.

Interesting facts showing the pro-
gressiveness of the Central Presby-
terrain church at Culleoka, are CLEAN
ed from an inspection of neat little
folder just issued by Rev. ]. M. Rob-
ison, the popular pastor. The finan-
cial statement shows that contribu-
tions of the congregation during the
past year, averaged more than ten
dollars for each member. There are
not many country churches that
make better showing in this re.
spect. One Of the best features of
the church work during the past year
was series Of lectures by some able
laymen and ministers on subjects
that are vital to Christian living and
work. The church keeps abreast of
the times and uses all of its resourc-
es for the advancement of communi-
ty work.

MEDIATION EFFORTS
ARE IN VERY COMPLEX
SHAPE At THE FAI Is
THE PRINCIPALS DO NOT KNOW
WHETHER TO RECESS OR
ADJOURN NOW.
ADMITTED war WAS AVERTED
The constitutlonalist and Huerta Del
egates Have Not Yet Been Brought
Into Conference, Nor Has Mexico
Yet Been Paelfied in Any Way.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 30
Mediation today is in a most com
pick state. Its principals are unde
cided whether to adjourn formally OF
to recess and renew their efforts
through the American government to-
ward bringing the constitutionalists
and Huerta delegates into conference
for the settlement Of Mexico's inter
nal problems. While the signing OF
the series of protocols covering va
rious phases of the international
situation has brought forth confident
expressions from some quarters here
that mediation has been success,
skepticism has arisen among others
vitality Connected with the proceedings
as to whether anything of value has
actually been accomplished.
That war has been averted is gen.
orally admitted, but of the actual pac.
ification of Mexico, few here see any
visible signs Of progress.
The protocols already signed set
forth in effect the conditions under
which the United States will recog'
nize the new government in Mexico
Everything, however, is conditioned
on the establishment of a provisional
government which must be the result
OF an agreement between the two
warning factions. These have not
yet been brought together. Some Of
the mediators doubt if they ever will
be-. Even If they confer there has
been no indication that the rebels
will alter their attitude toward the
Huerta faction.
Minister Naon, who is believed to
be on intimate terms with the consti-
tutionalists, as he has recently been
in private and secret communication
with their representatives In Wash
ington, processes optimism. Minister
Saurez and Ambassador De Cana are
understood to be rather skeptical.
The Huerta delegates are non-com-
initial. They want to bring about
peace and are willing to wait reas-
enable length Of time for the arrival
of the rebel delegates, but not indefi.
nitely. The American delegates will
remain here as long as there is a
flicker of hope.
Tomorrow Ambassador De Cana
will return from brief vacation.
Minister Saurez made it clear today
that he had remained here merely to
await Mr.. De Canals return and not
because he thought it was his duty
to wait for the constitutionalists del
egates. The disposition of the medi-
ators is to keep themselves free from
ENHANCEMENT in Mexico's internal af-
fairs. Although the answer to the
note sent by the mediators to Carran-
"a last Monday has not arrived it is
expected tomorrow.

Long and Disagreeable Fight.

. WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81
The developments in the Columbia
postoffice situation have been follow.
ing each other thick and fast this
week. Beginning with Senator LEAFS
conference with the President on this
subject Monday and ending today
with Congressman Padgett's acQui-
escence in the Presidents request for
the congressman to make no recon-
mendation, SO that the President
might make personal appointment
Of Mrs. Carmack, widow of the late
Senator Carmack.
! Mrs. Carmack's name will probably
be sent to the senate by the Presi-
dent early next week, and her con-
irmation is assured. Senator Lea
had many conferences with the Pres
ident, the postmaster general and
other members of the cabinet upon
the question of Mrs. Carmacks ap-
pointment.
The appointment of Mr.. MceKn-
non, which was sent in by the Pres
ideDt oI Feb. "a, while Senate" Lea
was ill, did not stop his efforts to
have Mrs. Carmack appointed. Cop
les of many letters in Senator LEAFS
files that show his efforts to secure
this appointment for Mrs. Carmack an
tedated Wilson's Inauguration, and
did not stop until the appointment
was assured.
Senator Lea, in Iecembo,, 1912,
when he thought Postmaster Jackson
was about to be removed, wired Mrs
Carmack whether she desired her
name presented to President Taft
The wire was as follows:

Please confer with Mr.. Amis, Judge
Holding and Mr.. Finney and advise
me at once.

On March 5, 1874, Immediately upon
Senator LEAFS return to his office
after his illness, he wrote the Presi-
dert urging the withdrawal of Mr..
Mceknnon's name, and urged the ap-
pointment of Mrs. Carmack.
In this Senator Lea among other
things said:
When we last discussed this mat
ter you interposed as an objection
to the appointment of Mrs. Carmack
the fact that the congressman from
that district who also lives at Column
bia, had recommended some one else
for the place, and it had been the pol
icy of your administration to give
weight to the recommendations of
the congressman and not to those of
a senator or senators, in democratic
districts in appointing postmasters.
Therefore, IL it would meet this
objection of yours and enable you to
appoint Mrs. Carmack at Columbia,
it would be perfectly satisfactory to
me for you to let Congressman Pad
gets recommendation have the same
weight you would ordinarily give
