COMMUNITY TREE PLANTING
SUCCESSFUL

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, February
13.-That city tree planting can be
successfully undertaken as a COM
munity enterprise has been demon
strated by the work accomplished by
the Albuquerque Chamber of Com
merce and the United States Forest
Service in this city. About eight
hundred trees, chiefly black locust
and American elm, have been planted
under this plan. A commission was
formed consisting of forester of the
United States Forest Service, an of
ficer of the chamber of commerce, a
municipal official, and four citizens.
The commission conducted a cam
paign in favor of tree planting and
gave technical advice on what species
to plant, and how, when and where
to plant them. The commission then
drew up specifications for planting
and advertised for bids from private
contractors. On receipt of the bids,
the commission issued certificates to
those qualified as to reliability, ex-
perience, and equipment, these certi-
flcates being used by the contractors
in soliciting business. This business
was conducted in accordance with the
price, specifications, and conditions
of payment as approved by the COM
mission.
The Forest Service furnished a
qualified forester as inspector, who,
under instructions from the commits
sion, inspected all planting work to
see that it was properly done, and
gave advice to the planters on how
to take care of the trees after they
were planted.

COUNCIL. OF
PREM|ERS IS
WRES THING
P R 0 BL { NJ S

LONDON, February 13-The Coun-
ell of Premiers, at their session to-
Jay, continued discussion Of Hollands S
refusal to grant the Allied request
for extradition of the former Kaiser,
and the German attitude Of refusal to
surrender those on the Allied list of
persons guilty of war crimes.
1t is learned emi-officially that
the council was drafting two notes:
One to Holland upon her refusal; the
other to Germany on the list sub
mitted to that government.
The note to Holland points out
that the interest of the Dutch gov
ernment, as well as the general peace
of Europe, require that the former
Kaiser shall not remain in Holland.
The note to Germany takes up the
unofficial offer of Germans to try
their own war guilty persons, in a
Teuton court at Leipsig, and the Ger
man refusal to surrender them, main
aiming that the proposition is un-
tenable, and not in accord with the
terms of the armistice nor the terms
of the peace treaty.

PRESID N 7
REJECTS THE
DEMAND OF.
RA|LROADERS

WASHINGTON, February 49,
1t was stated to the White House to-
day that President Wilson had handed
representatives of two million rail-
road workers his decision on their
wage demands, and submitted them
proposition which is expected to
lead to further negotiation.
1t is understood that the President
refused demands for immediate wage
increases of approximately forty per
cent. What constituted the counter
proposition was not disclosed.
Immediately after seeing the Pres
ident the committee met other rail-
road representatives at their hotel.
That meeting lasted only a few min
utes.
"We shall give the Presidents
statement careful consideration, adj
vising him OF our position later, prob
ably by letter." said Timothy Shea,
a member of the committee.

WANDERERS S
CANE HOME
LAST NIGHT

Yesterday evening, about 6 o'clock,
the Second Annual Trade Excursion
of the Nogales Chambers of Com
merce returned from their ten-days
excursion down the West Coast Of
Mexico.
The party's peregrinations have
been presented regularly in these
columns from day to day, and it is
unnecessary to say more than that
they return singing praises of the
cordial welcome and hospitable en-
tertainment extended throughout the
trip by all with whom they came in
contact. At every stop they were
accorded most enthusiastic greeting
and elegant entertainment.
Their last report was from San
Bias on the Fuerte River, Thursday
evening; and that day they had visit
ed the great sugar plantations and
mills of the Redos at Ell Dorado.
1t is estimated that this trip alone
will result in PRONUNCIATION of pro-
paganda by the S@o Chambers of
Commerce that will bring to the
West Coast of Mexico millions of
dollars for investment.

GREAT ELK HERD SAVED
FROM STARVATION

WASHINGTON, February 13.-
Recent statements that the great elk
herds of Yellowstone Park are now
starving in Jackson Hole, Wyoming,
are not true, according to a state
ment issued by the Secretary of
Agriculture.
The department has secured about
two thousand tons of hay in that re-
gion, which is being used to feed the
elk, and officials of the Biological
Survey state that this amount of hay
will feed most of the animals of the
Southern herd during the winter.
The National Park Service has Sc
cured enough hay to feed the north
ern herd also, which has likewise
been threatened by starvation.
The state game department of
Wyoming and local residents have
materially helped the Government Of
ficials in securing this forage.
The cause of the critical condition
of the elk herd is the severe drought
that occurred throughout Wyoming
and Montana last summer which
greatly reduced the growth of range
forage and of hay. The prompt ac-
tion of the federal and state govern
ments, and the local settlers, has
saved these two great elk herds from
losses by starvation.

A SUBSTANTIAL
CITIZEN OF THE.
Line CITY Goes
TO CALIFORNIA

Thursday Mr.. Pat Hannah, one of
the old timers in Sonora and South.
ern Arizona, departed for San Diego,
California, where he went for a stay
of some weeks on account of his
health.
Mr.. Hannan's family-Mrs. Han
nan, Mr.. James Hannah and Miss
Florence Hannan-accompanied the
gentleman as far as Tucson, taking
him in their automobile, and return
ing home after he had taken a west
bound train for his destination. Re-
turning they brought home with them
Mr.. P. Traynor of Stafford, Graham
county, an old time friend of the fa-
mily, who will visit with them some
little time.
AS mentioned in the opening SEN
tence Of this screed, Pat Hannah is
one of the old timers in Sonora and
along the border, while his permanent
home has been in Nogales many
years. Here he has acquired a good
ly number Of parcels of improved
real estate, rents and revenues from
which keep the gentleman and his IA
mily on Easy Street.
"The Oasis" has known Pat Han
nah more than twenty-five years; and
in all that time has never heard a
word said of him except in the high
est praise. Through many years
going back before our acquaintance
he was millman in employ of the
Creston- Colorado Company at Minas
Prietas; and he was a good one. With
the old Minas Prietas mill and the
big Colorado mill he pounded out
many million dollars in gold bars for
that company, and he was one of
their most trusted employees.
Then having invested his earnings
in real property here Pat brought his
young family to Nogales, engaged in
business, improved his property, and
has been a substantial citizen a
dozen years or more.
"The Oasis" takes pleasure in
commencing him to those among
whom he will sojourn.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
CONFERENCE AT CITY
OF MEXICO IS SOUNDED
ON COLOSSAL PLAN

inz the finances of the nations,
which was in substance that all the
governments shall unite in guaran-
teeing their respective war debts. In
that way all the resources of all the
countries of the world will be behind
and back of their aggregate indebt-
edness. 1t would enable the nations
that are weak financially, and over
burdened with debt, to lean upon
those of large resources and COM
paratively small indebtedness-like
the United States. And it would
give the strength and support of the
OF those nations that are strong
financially to the weak ones, until
such time as rehabilitation of their
internal finances would enable them
to function financially without such
support.
The proposition is entirely new and
most novel. How it appeals to the
Conference is not very plainly ap-
parent as yet; and it may give rise
to very interesting and general
discussion.

Payne's statement, and production
of his letter came after a determined
fight, led by Senator Ashurst, of

resolution holding up the sale.
Payne was called before the COM
mittee after Senator Jones of Wash
ington, had prevented immediate ac-
ton on Senator Ashurst's resolution
by the Senate, where the proposed
ship sales were denounced and de-
Tended, during sharp debates.
Ashurst's resolution, if adopted,
would have forbidden sale of the
ships except at public sale to the
highest bidder, after three months
notice. Jones, who is chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee, to
which the resolution has gone now for
consideration, objected when Ashurst
asked unanimous consent for it's i'm
