Local Forest Notes

Allston D. Morse having passed the ranger examination held last fall was appointed during April as a forest ranger on the Coconino Forest.
 E. F. T. Wohlenberg of the Forest Service who has been examining tim Der northwest of Fort Valley, left on May for the Snowflake and White Mountain country for similar work.
 Dr. A. K. Fisher, of the U. S. Biological Survey, spent few days in Flagstaff this week in consultation with Mr. Gilcrist who has charge of the party that is killing off the prairie dogs in Coconino County. This party is now camped near Pins Mountain.
 H. D. Burrall of the Forest Service spent a few days in Flagstaff last week on returning from Camp Verde where he has been examining lands for homesteading. He left for Albu- querque on May 1st
 Mir. and Mrs. Harrington Moore and young son, of New York and Wash ington arrived in Flagstaff recently to spend the summer. They have taken the Francis house on Leroux street. Mir. Moore was for some years in the Forest Service and loca- ted at Silver City, Albuquerque, and Santa Fe, and is now privately en- gagged on forestry work the results of which he plans for publication later
 Fire Lookout Frank G. Lewis who went to the top of Elden Mountain about two weeks ago has "skeery" tales to tell of his experiences up there during the recent snowstorm. He reports over four feet of snow on top and the drifts on the trail were so deep that he dared not attempt to come down, so he stuck to his post. His supply of firewood ran short and but for an ample supply of bedding he would have suffered. Fortunately he had generous supply of chuck. The telephone instrument was under snow. His account rivals that of Per ry when he got back from the Pole.

COUNCIL MINUTES
 MAY lsT, 1915

Pursuant to the call of the Mayor the Common Council of the town of Flagstaff met in the town hall, Sa- turday, May 1st,. 1915 at 7:3O P. M.
 Present Mayor Francis, Council men Babbitt, Finley, Beeson, and clerk Fleming. Absent Councilmen Prochnow and Switzer.
 This meeting was called for the purpose of finding ways and means whereby the records pertaining to Coconino county now on file in Yava- pal county be transferred to the afore- named county. Also to file notice of protest with the Arizona State Cor poration Commission and the Board of Supervisors of Coconino county re- lative to the high telephone rates that now exist within the town of Flag staff. Also to consider the payment of bills of the Arizona Lumber ana Timber company, Jos. c. Moritz and the Hunter Drug Co. ordered layed on table last meeting, account of not being approved.
 Moved and carried that the town attorney be instructed to find ways and means to secure the proper trans fer of maps and profiles and other official documents pertaining to Co., conino county now on file in the office of the County Recorder of Yavapai county.
 The following resolution was pre- sented and read:
 Be it Resolved by the Mayor and Common Council of the town of Flag staff, that, whereas the rates of the Mountain States Telephone Company, corporation doing business within the limits of the town of Flagstaff. We say that the rates that now exist are exorbitant and prohibitive to the general welfare of the town, and de- mand that some action be taken rela- tive to the securing of the proper ad- justment of the rates.
 Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be mailed to the Corporation Commission of the State , of Arizona and the Board of Supervi- sors of the County of Coconino, and that the town Attorney be instructed to use all efforts with a view of sec uring the proper adjustments of the said telephone rates.

and salt grass and almost stopped farming here. They built the Salado reservoir in their days of poverty to bring their better drained bench lands under cultivation, but ten years ago it went out. They extended their energies out to the lands of Hunt dam, but it has been washed away three times. They tried farm ing at the Meadows and have lost two dams there, so that already these hardy toilers have lost agricultural property worth half a million dollars.
 A good force is now at work on the town ditch and old field ditch which belongs to the St. Johns Irrigation company, so that water will soon be on the old fields and in town. It is a puzzle to know what to do to put wa ter in the Lyman canal and on the bench, for the canal intake is the re- servoir gate that stands 20 feet above the river. Pumping and building a high diversion dam are both proposed The chances are in favor of construct ing high, tight, earth diversion dam.
 The fields of Hunt, the Meadows and St. Johns are all so wet and muddy that little can be done as yet, but as soon as they are dry enough much crop will be planted as the na- tural flow of the river, with last win ter's heavy snow fall will supply adequate water for this year.
 Many offers of relief have been re- ceived. We need relief, but it is not immediate relief, for we have food in plenty and are able to temporarily care for those of our number who lost their homes. But, at the same time, many of our Spanish h-Americans whose homes were washed down were poor people and they need help to re-
 build and refurnish. Our farmers were already in debpt for the Lyman reservoir and dam and the Lyman reservoir and dam and their only hope of ever paying out now lies in rebuilding the dam at an early date, and that will take at least a hundred thousand dollars capital. If it is not rebuilt, and that right away, bankruptcy awaits the entire community. Woodruff has food and clothing for immediate relief, but this is the eleventh time that those poor people have lost their diversion dam, i and three times it has been because of our reservoir breaks. The people of Hunt need relief, for they were al ready heavily involved, and must go deeper in debt to rebuild their Udall dam. We need capital to assist us in rebuilding. We must have it. We must find it, and then we can recover Of diversity we of St. Johns have had more than our share, but no one is giving up. It only asks financial aid

Here's the Issue Of
International Law as
Raised in Wilson Note
BY Hannis Taylor.

BY Hannis Taylor.
(Former United States minister to
Spain and noted as an author
ity on international law.)
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
note sent by the secretary of state
To the American ambassador at
Berlin states the American case
against Germany with a distinct
ness which cannot be misunder-
stood by any one familiar with
the language of diplomacy.
The gist of the note is as fol-
lows:
If a merchant vessel Of a bel
ligerent is loaded down with con-
traband OF most dangerous char
acter, the only penalty she can
possibly incur Of international law
is capture as a prize by the en-
emy. on such a vessel neutral
passenger has certainly all the
right of protection guaranteed by
international law to one OF the
.belligerent crew. After the vessel
has been made a prize it cannot
be destroyed under any circum-
stances until the safety of the
lives Of all on board, belligerent
and neutral has been provided for.
For that simple reason II Is i'm
possible for submarines to be en-
ployed lawfully in a capture OF
merchant vessels for the safety OF
whose countries it cannot pro-
vide before destruction.
Cites Civil War Incident.
Let me give practical illustra-
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-05-14

ton from the acts of Admiral
Semmes, who did much TO de-
stroy the merchant marine OF the
United States during the Civil
war. While he burned such ships
after providing for the safety of
the crew, he never claimed the
right of destruction unless that
could he done. When a case
arose ia hich he could not pro-
vide for those on board of a
prize he invariably released her,
requiring only a bottomry bond
from the captain, payable to the
confederate states in the event
II established their independence.
AS Admiral Semnes was a very
learned international lawyer. he
knew and admitted that a prize
cannot be destroyed until the
lives Of all on board had first
been provided for. That Is the
great proposition which has been
so clearly defined n the note of
our secretary of state. That is
the issue which Germany must
meet under the law of nations,
which does not and can not ad-
NIT that under any circumstance
can a submarine destroy on the
high seas an unarmed merchant
vessel until she has been first
made q prize.
AS a prize she cannot then be
destroyed until the safety of all
on board has been provided for.
