1T is planned to get teams from the

and coal mining companies are being
urged to set up displays which will
bring to the public attention the

Neither of these devices has been
brought to public attention in the

mission believes they deserve. II Is
expected that both win attract much
attention among mining men as well
as the pubuic. And there is every in
dication that the two win furnish a
very interesting feature of the State

II is hoped to obtain a handsome
cup or trophy of some kind to be

Big Fire Hazard But Small Total
Loss on Carson National FOres:

caches have been located at strategic
points on the forest. Besides thli
equipment there were the men to use
It in time OF need; the permanent
ranger force Of seven men, two assist
nnt rangers, five lookout men and one
patrolmanr4about one man to each
$1,000 acres.
During the two months OF the &c
tive fire season, scarcely q day passed
without one OF more fires being r.
ported to the supervisors office py
the lookout men. AS fast as reports
and bearings OF fires were received
they were located on the large fiFe
map IN the office and appropriate or
ders at once phoned to the ranger
nearest the fire.
An Indication OF the high fire haz
ard of the past season was the large
number OF fires, some covering large
acreagea, burning on all sides OF the
forest on private grants and public
domain, which, due to the fact that
they did not menace the forest itself,
we're not handled by forest officers
A total Of 16 fires on or near the for
est were handled by the rangers q
such good effect that a total Of but
1853 acres was burned over and Of this
area only 62 acres was inside the for
est. The total cost to the service for
extinguishing the fires was $116.25
paid to laborers who helped in fire
fighting. The estimated damage to
timber and forage on the forest land
was $21.50.
Taking into consideration the haz'
ardous season through which they
passed, the officers of the Carson feel
that they are very fortunate to have
come through without more than the
minor losses outlined above.

Shoes Left Behind by
Thief at Questa May
Prove His Undoing

Questa, N. M, Aug. 1.-THE thief
who tried to load a buggy with goods
from the Questa mercantile store and
who only got the load on without a
chance to take 1t away with him, an
account Of which appeared in the New

all around. It was discovered the
next morning that one Of the saloons
had been entered and several bottles
Of tangle-foot extracted from the bar.
1t has now been located. With the
fire water were the shoes Of the thief
that he had removed before entering
the store. It is hoped that the iden-
tity Of the fellow may be traced by
the shoes.
Heavy rains still continue in the
Sunshine valley and the gramma
grass is now a foot high over the val
ley where this natural grass has not
been plowed under. Range cattle and
horses never looked fatter than they
do now. Some Of the range horses
that were as wild as deer a month

WILL ELEPHANT BUTTE
DAM MAKE RAIN IN
THE EsTANcIA VALLEYS
(Estancia ~News-Herald) Z

(ESranSla NcWS-1eTdtuJ
Here is something for the
weather sharps to talk about; The
theory has been propounded here
that the creation Of the Elephant
Butte reservoir would increase the
rainfall In the Estancla valley, be-
cause during the months Of great
est evaporation the winds are al
most continuously from the south
west and would carry the moisture
taken up from the reservoir sur
face over this valley, and in pass
ing through the cool air above the
mountains II should form clouds
and under proper conditions pre-,
cipitate In the valley. According
to statements heretofore printed Ia
regard to the extent Of the reser-
volr, the surface should be near
100 square miles. According to the
government report from which ex-
tracts are printed elsewhere, the
evaporation at the dam during
June was slightly above one and
o~nefourth feet. This amount Of
water lifted from a surface Of 100
square miles le some water. But
there is some country east and
northeast Of the reservoir. For *
ample, Torrance county alone Is
more than 80 times the area Of the
reservoir. And there are many
other factors entering into a prob
lem Of this Kind, making Il a com,
pick one. And as for the month Of
CJune, the rainfall In the Estaneia
valley was not increased, because
there wasu't any.
