received by Mr.. Slaughter for
cattle per head of the same class

lot there were 2,40O and in the

Forest Fire Season

Recent reports received at the
Albuquerque local forestry head
quarters from the various forest
supervisors in Arizona and New
Mexico indicate that the forests
are rapidly becoming dry and
that no time is being lost in re-
cruiting the protective forces
which, during the fire season,
supplement the regular year
long administrative forces. By
May l it is expected that the
fire protective plans on all of the
forests will be in full working
order. In brief this means that
trails will have been cleaned out,
telephone lines thoroughly over
hauled, tools and supplies dis
tributed at strategic points
throughout the forests and that
lookoutmen and patrolmen will
be at their posts ready to detect
and combat any fires that may
occur.
Already a number of fires
have been reported, Owing to
their prompt discovery, however,
by forest officers none of them
assumed large proportions.
The fire season throughout
Arizona and New Mexico was
considered especially bad last
year on account of severe cleo
trical storms and high winds.
While according to statistics the
majority of fires were set by
lightning, quite a number were
doubtless caused by carelessness
on the part of travellers, campers
and others who had occasion to
visit the national forests. For
est officers feel that the fire
hazard can be appreciably re-
duced if those who go to the
mountains make it a point to CO.
operate with them by always
bearing in mind the danger in
volved by being careless with
fire in the woods and particularly
in the observance of the follow
ing six rules:
l. Be sure your match is out
before you throw it away.
2. Knock out your pipe ashes
or throw your cigar or cigarette
stump where there is nothing to
catch fire.
3. Don't build a camp fire
any larger than is absolutely
necessary. Never leave it even
for short time without putting
lit OUT with water or earth.
A. Don't build a camp fire
against a tree or log. Build a
small one where you can scrape
away the needles, leaves or grass
from all sides of it.
5. Don't build bonfires. The
wind may come up at any time
and start a fire you cannot con-
troll.
6. If you discover a fire, put
it out if possible; if you can t,
get word of it to the nearest u.

Cananea Mexicans Destitute

An entire trainload of provi-
Sions was received in Cananea
Monday from Hermosillo, Mexico,
having been sent by the constitu-
tionalist state government to pro-
vide for the 5000 families which
are now destitute. The closing
of the mines and smelters at
that point threw approximately
5000 natives out of work, most
of them with families, and their

American Wealth
i'm Old Mexico

Assistant United States Attor-
ney Wiley E. Jones, who is a
land owner in Mexico, has been
delving through the consular re-
ports on file in Washington for
the purpose Of ascertaining the
relative holdings of Americans
and other foreigners in Mexico,
says a recent dispatch from Phoe-
nix. At this particular time the
information will be of special in
terest to many persons. Cover
ing every. species of wealth,
Americans own 43 per cent of
Mexico, according to these re-
ports. While Mr.. Jones says
the footings may not be absolute
ly correct, the proportionate
amounts are approximately accu-
rate. They follow:
Americans ------ 81, ,O57, 700, 600
Mexicans ---- 792, 1877, 242
English ----- 321, ,3O2, 800
French --.-- 143, 446, 600
All others ------ 118, 535, $50
The above embraces every spe-
cies of property, covering rail
road stocks and national bonds.
Of the farm lands, Mexicans
own over "a per cent; ranches
generally, 70 per cent; timber
lands, s22 per cent. The percent
age of American. owned farms is
less than 2 per cent, while Ameri-
cans own over 80 per cent of the
timberlands, and the English
own over Al per cent of the
timberlands.
