GREAT RAILWAY SHOPS

By Mr.. H. J. Temple, general su-
perintendent of the Southern Pa
cific of Mexico, and some of his SUD-
ordinates. AS has been mentioned
before now, the shops at Empalme
equal in appointment and perfection
of work turned out any of the best
shops in the United States.
From Empalme over to Guaymas
is but a few kilometers, and the trip
from Empalme was short and taken
quickly. Headed by band of mu-
sic the visitors marched up town, ,and
went straightway to the Hotel Albin,
where they made their headquarters
during their stay, and were given a
fright royal reception by Mine Host
Griff Willoughby, who has done
much for the comfort and conven-
fence of the travelling public.
The day was devoted TO sight see
ing. A fine power yacht, "The
Frolic," owned by. Mr.. A. M. Con-
ard, formerly of Nogales, who has
extensive interests in Sonora, includ-
ing fisheries up the Gulf of Califor-
mia, was placed at the use of the ex-
cursionists and their hosts for
A SAIL UPON THE GULF
Which all enjoyed greatly. Not
a breath of air was stirring, the sur
race of the water was without rip
pie, as smooth as glass, and the trip
was one of unalloyed pleasure. The
greater part of the afternoon was
given over to that.
At evening there was given at the
Hotel Albin a banquet where the
three Chambers of Commerce sat
down together. After the delicious
viands, served in4the best style BY
Mine Host Willoughby, had been
discussed, the evening was given over
to addresses Of welcome, which were
made by the president and secretary
Of the Guaymas Chamber of Com
merce, responses being made on be-
half of the visiting chambers by Mr..
Ben Trasvina and Frank J. Barry,

HAS GOOD WORD FOR SNAKE
New Yorker Points OUT How Unpopu-
lar Reptile Aids the Farmer in
Growing Crops.

The pretensionS Of the snake, as q
domestic animal Of great value, were
advanced by Allen B. Williams, presi.
dent Of the Reptile Society of Amer.
lea, at New York.
The society, Of which Mr.. Williams
Is the head, middle and end, has un-
dertaken campaign OF education on
behalf of the snake, claiming that as a
destroyer of rodents and other small
pests on the farm he Is the friend and
benefactor of man. For the poison
bearing snakes Mr.. Williams holds no
brief and comedies the necessity for
their obliteration from the earth; but
OF the nOnpoison0us ones he had this
to say at the banquet while you could
have heard pin drop:
ITO the lay mind, the idea Of the
black or the garter or any one of a
thousand varieties of harmless snakes
being of any service to mankind may
appear preposterous and unworthy Of
discussion. But the facts are other
wise. The snake has a very impor-
tant bearing on the question of food
production, a matter which, even since
the signing of the armistice, grows
more important daily. The snake Is
the great small-pest destroyer Of the
American farm. Every person who
kills nonpoisonOus snake might just
as well destroy one hundred times the
snakes weight in. wheat"
Mr.. Williams proposes that the value
of the snake be taught hereafter in the
farm schools and agricultural colleges
and says he intends to. become the edi-
tor of publication devoted to snake
conservation and culture. He advo-
Gated the Introduction of small snake
or two into every household In the
land, saying that the snake, contrary
to popular belief, made an ideal house
hold pet, and in the course Of every
year represented many times over a
saving Of his weight in mousetraps.

THE MEXICAN BANQUO.

The dead Villa returns from his des- ert grave to haunt the dying Carranza. Like ghost of some particularly dis dressing dream, he cannot be forced from the mind. While Carranza writes, Villa stands at his elbow. While he sleeps Villa stands by his bedside And when he sends out a band to grapp1e with the bandit, Villa strips them of their guns and muni- tions, welcomes them into his army and adds to his own strength.
 Hesitation, fear, suspicion and inde cision, these have been the worst ene- mics of the president of the republic to the south of us. A year ago he was warned by the United States to prepare against a spring campaign by Villa. But he did not stir. He was informed that his old rival was even then plotting his overthrow. There was no response. Today he finds the enemy beating at his gates and he may be powerless to block his ad- vance.
 Of course the United States will be appealed to if Villa obtains the upper hand and presses for a decision. Then Carranza will find it convenient to forget his repudiation of the Monroe Doctrine. Then he will have a lapse of memory concerning the anti-Ameri- can plotting he permitted to be car ried out by his friends the Germans. It will be time for him to forget these things because without the moral, and perhaps military support of the United States, Carranza may join that numerous class of Mexicans who place "ex' before their titles.

In the Lead of Sea Traders.
Baltimore American.)

tBdll1mOfS A11cT1Cdn.)
 By the addition of the eighty-nine ships that the United States took from Germany, this country will come close to taking the lead in sea traffic. England will have to repair the ex- tensive losses, suffered from the Ger man submarines This will require years of shlpbuilding. In the mean time the United States adds the vast German fleet to it's own considerable fleet built largely during the war, and has a marine that it could not have gained by ten years of hard building enterprise.
 As an equivalent for retention of the German ships the United States willhave s1O0, 1000, ,000 of it's war claims struck off by the Paris Congress. This is a small price to pay for the ships under the circumstance. The remission of even this much makes the task of Germany in money pay ment to it's foes that much easier. and anything that can give easement to the Teutons Up to a certain point will facilitate the settlement of the vast indemnity account. These ships have already paid for themselves several times over in the service they rendered in speeding troops across the seas to beat the Germans annd in the service of transport to get the Americans back home. Germany permanently deprived of it's fleet will be too much handicapped ever to become a men, ace to any of the allied nations in the matters of overseas commerce. The United States did a good thing for the world and for itself when it made seizure of the German ships.
