 Forest Fires Cross Border
 TUCSON-Forest fires originating in Mexico are giving forest rangers con- siderable trouble along the interna- tional line, it was reported at the for est service office. The fires are being beaten out as fast as the flames cross the border, but it is said that they usu- ally creep around and break out at an other point.
 The rangers have no authority to step across the line to quench a fire and they are forced to wait until the fire is in the United States before they can fisht it. Heretofore there was a working agreement with the Mexican authorities by which rangers were per mitted to go into Mexico for a short distance to stop fires, but that agree ment has Iapsed and on account of the revolution forest officials do not think it can be reneWed.-CitiZen
