ices. however. will be sold if they can

stated.
The vessels offered for immediate
delivery consist of ninety-two steel
ships and 285 wooden steamers. which
the board has tried unsuccessfully to
dispose Of by sealed bids three times
in the past few months. Terms of
sale of the steel vessels call for 10
per cent cash. on delivery and the
balance in ten years, while for the
wooden steamers 10 per cent cash is
required on delivery and the balance
in three years.
Belief that some of the wooden
steamers may be disposed Of to for
eign buyers was expressed at the
board and it was thought by some
officials that such sales could be made
before the appointment of the new
board by President Wilson. Sale of
the steel ships, however. is limited to
American buyers.

WEST LEADS THE WAY
IN FOREST PROTECTION
PROTECTION WEEK MAY IS

Washington, May 1S.-A< campaign to
arouse public sentiment for the better pro
lection OF forests against fires that prom
ises to become nationwide has been started
In the west and is rapidly gaining head

Of the United States department Of agricul-
ture. The governors Of q number OF west
ern states have issued proclamations desig.
mating May 1929 as forest protection
week. and urging all citizens that they
unite their best efforts to prevent and sup
press forest fires. In addition the move
ment has the active support Of churches,
commercial associations, rotary clubs,
schools, fraternal societies and a number Of
other organizations. The object Of fire pro
lection week is to bring forcibly home to
the public the need of care to prevent fires
from starting, and of energetic efforts to
put out forest fires quickly, II they do start.
The new movement is unprecedented In
this country and will be Of much Importance
In safeguarding the nations forests and
spreading the demand for their better pro.
lection, officials OF the forest service state.
The west, they say, is now generally alive
to the importance of keeping fire out of the
woods. This is partly because Of the great
value of the present stand OF timber, but II.
Is also because OF the growing recognition
OF the Importance Of permanent forests and
stable industries.

Of millions feet OF timber in the west are
man-caused and p~reventable. This fact has
stimulated a determination TO cut down the
number of fires. In aggressive action the
west has, on the whole, decidedly taken the
lead over the east where, in many states,
it is said little effort Is made to protect the
forests against fire.
Proclamations calling for the public OBJ
servance OF q week have been or will be
issued BY the governors OF Colorado. Cali

RAILROAD POSSIBILITIES

The announcement In the New Mexican
yesterday of the agreement said to have
been secured by the New Mexico Central
whereby the Freight business Of the Durango
district, San Juan basin and San Luis val.
ley now routed via Walsenburg and Pueblo
to Texas and Oklahoma is to come largely
via Santa Fe henceforth, is one Of the most
important bits Of news published here IN
some years.
It means a long step toward making
Santa Fe one OF the important railroad cen
ters Of the southwest. 1t seems reasonable
to suppose that once started this way, the
business will, in the course of time, result
in the standard gauging Of the ID, & IL. q,
lines in New Mexico, But be that as it may,
Santa re is now to set a largely increased
freight traffic which means terminal i'm
provements here and the steady growth or
Santa Fe in Importance as q transportation
center.
Hand in hand with those goes the build
ing Of closer relations between the business
men Of Santa Fe and those of northern New
Mexico and southern Colorado. Santa Fe
needs to get acquainted with the field and
the population which are to contribute to
our business with their products. Once 1t
materializes this arrangement Is going to
tie up northwestern and northern New
Mexico much more closely with the rest Of
the state. Carried to its conclusion it also
means that instead OF northern New Mex
leo doing business with southern Colorado,
southern Colorado Is coming this way.
Further consolidation of New Mexico inter
ests and addition business for the state
from outside its borders.
The New Mexico Central is showing con
siderable efficient enterprise In the Job Of
realizing its possibilities as an important
link between the northwest and the south.

piece of work and should have the hearty
cooperation of every business man IN Santa
