SURVEY CLEARS
MILLION ACRES
IN YEAR s WORK
Rodent Destruction by Bio
logical Survey Saves the
Farmers More Than
100000 Report States

One million acres of New Mex
leo land have been cleared of ro-
dents during the past year, the an
nual report of the biological sur
vey, made public yesterday shows.
A conservative estimate places
the saving to farmers through the
surveys work at not less than
5000, 900, and possibly it may run
as high as half a million. This es-
innate includes the savings from
damage to crops, to irrigation
bitches, dams and from land ero-
sion. The report points out that
the destruction of rodents. has al
lowed farmers to raise crops on
land which formerly produced
nothing at all, and has increased
the production of other lands from
10 to 20 per cent.
The survey has treated lands
within this state for prairie dogs,
gophers, ground squirrels, field
mice, kangaroo rats, common rats,
and other minor species within the
past year. Its largest work has
been in the destruction of prairie
dogs and gophers One of the
principal dangers from the prairie
dogs is that of soil erosion. The
loosening Of the soil by their bur-
rowing makes it easy for rains to
carry away valuable farming
land.
Damage by gophers has been
most strikingly illustrated by their
destructive work in the Elephant
Butte region, where the irrigation
district paid in one year $4,000 to
farmers for damage done by go
pliers on the irrigation ditches.
Through the work of the survey,
the report states, the gophers have
been entirely eradicated from this
section. The Fort Sumner district,
which was another district badly
by the gophers, has also
been cleared of the rodents, which
were causing soil erosion.
During the past month the sur
vey's work has been for the most
part in the Zuni forest district.
Work has also been commenced in
the Lincoln national forest, and
work in the Santa Fe forest is
planned for the near future.
The report states that the survey
will concentrate during the sum-
mer on the prairie dog pest in
Harding, Quay and Roosevelt coun-
ties. Southwestern Colfax county
will also be treated. Gopher work
will be carried on in Harding coun-
ty in the fall.

ORDERED OUT OF
MEXICAN WATERS
tBy The Associated Pross.)

Washington, July S.-Withdraw-
al of the cruiser Cleveland and the
gunboat sacramento from Tampico,
Mexico, was ordered today by the
navy department. In making this
announcement Secretary DENLY

The warships were ordered to
the Mexican port early this week

labor troubles were probable in the
Tampico district because of the
shutting down of American oil
activities, due to the new Mexican
oil tax and that the warships were
ordered to the port to protect
American lives and property in
the event that that should be neces-
sary, Before the announcement of
the withdrawal of the ships came
from the navy 1t had indicated at
the state department that the YES

RUSS PEASANTS
BESIEGE. TRAINS
TO MARKET FOOD
Railway Shops at Kiev
Make 800 Collins a
Month to Care for Those
Ground to Pieces.
tBy The Associated Press

Riga, Latvia, July s. - The
chaotic conditions and daily TRACE
dies that followed upon resumption
of free trade in south Russia are
described graphically by a writer
for the Moscow Isvestia, who has
just made a trip through the Tx
raine.
The peasants, he says, carrying
sacks Of grain or other food to the
cities are literally overwhelming
the railways. He thus describes
the appearance Of one of the trains
coming into Kiev:
along the tracks is crawling a
huge grey caterpillar--a train COW
cred all over with the grey masses
of food carriers. From beneath
these masses neither cars nor loco
motives can be distinguished. The
grey mass covers everything, the
car roofs, the steps and even the
spaces between cars. Every avail
able nook is occupied. Everything
is filled up. Only when the train
begins to slow down, nearing
Kiev station, it begins to shed its
grey fleece. Little by little, while
yet in motion, the locomotive and
car roofs begin to uncover.
AT Kiev all outbound trains
are literally pasted all over with
people. On the locomotive, cars,
fire-Wood truck. water tank and
under the cars-anyWhere that 1t is
only possible-people fasten them
selves to every hook, nail or crew
ice. Those who have been fortu-
nate enough to get a place on a
brake platform are looked upon as
favorites of fortune, who are COM
Portable for their whole trip.
THE departure Of every train is
accompanied by lamentations,
walls, crying, shooting and all
kinds of accidents. When the
train is beginning to get in motion,
those who were not able to board
it and those who have been forcibly
removed from it start mad rushes
for it again. The military detach-
ments, whose duty it is to maintain
order during the boarding Of
trains, run after the trains, pulling
down some of the surplus passen-
gers who have managed to fasten
on to them, while from others caps
are pulled off and so on.
"One Of the results of this state
of affairs is that porters take
$4,000 to $4,000 of rubles for a
guaranteed place on the train.
Another result Is that the Kiev
railway shops every month have
to make about 800 coffins for food
carriers who have been run over
by the trains"

DEMPSEY DRAWS
COLOR LINE, NE
SAYS IN OMAHA
Champion Declares He Can
not See His Way Clear
to Battle Johnson or Any
Other Negro.
(By The Associated Press.)

Omaha, Neb., July SACK
Dempsey, worlds heavyweight
champion pugilist, who passed
through here today on his way to
Salt Lake City, in a statement to
newspaper men, denied that he is
willing to fight Jack Johnson, "or
any other negro fighter"
i will never fight a colored
man." Dempsey said. There is
nothing to this talk of me meeting
Jack Johnson. / am confident the
public don't want this fight and
while l will govern myself to a
large extent according to the pub
lie wishes, l can't see my way clear
to fight Johnson or any other col
oreq man"
Although his train stopped here
only ten minutes, Dempsey said"
more things than he has since the
fight with Carpenter at Jersey
City, according to the sport writ
ers who interviewed him,
How about those two rnysteri-
Gus men in your corner with the
towel, Jack?' inquired fan.
Never knew q thing about It
until someone showed me a news
paper with the story in it," the
champion replied.
Concerning the story that he
was to be married, Dempsey said:
Somebody was groggy when
they sent out that story about me
going to get married. 1 can't make
more than enough to support my
Self"
Continuing about prospects for
his next bout, Dempsey said:
II will meet any one that Kearns
picks for me. Gibbons, 1 UNDER
stand is a good man, although l
have never seen his work. AS
l have drawn the color line, 1 am
free to say that Harry Wills is a
great fighter, one who will whip
the very best of them. You know
as much about johnson as 1 do. |
As for Willard-Pll fight him any
time--and lick him, too"
A crowd that taxed the capacity |
of the Union Pacific railroad sta |
ton met the champion and his
party. He was asleep when the
train pulled into the station but
at the request Of the scribes and |
fans, he arose, dressed and pre-
sented himself on the rear plat
form. He did practically every
thing the crowd asked him. He
rolled up his sleeves, showed his
and then took a playful
5wipe at his trainer, Teddy Hayes.

More Units of Merchandise
Being Sold than Last
Year; Prices Lower; Pre-
pare for January Sales

The last week of Christmas shopping
got off to n good start yesterday, ac
cording to local retail executives, most
of whom are now predicting that the
total volume of Christmas business this
year will outstrip that Of last year
as to the number of units of merchan-
disc sold In some cases, if the present
pace is continued, this years total sales
in money value will outstrip those of a
year ago, although prices are estimated
to he from 25 to 35 per cent lower.
Business in toys has been exception
ally good, and several of the stores
have been compelled to draw on whole
salcrs for additional supplies to fill in
depleted stocks. Children's and doll
furniture have been good sellers, ac-
cording to the retailers.
Hosiery and handkcrchicfs maintain
their usual lead as the most popular
useful" gifts. Holiday business in
mems furnishing goods, locally, has
been excellent. Hats and shoes, how
ever have not moved as we'll rs ties,
mufflers, mems jcwelry, etc
Last Saturday was the best day of
the present holiday shopping period,
and IN several stores the sales volume
IN money broke all previous records.
Retailers are now beginning to pre-
pare their plans for the January clear
ance sales, and from present indica-
tons these sales, designed to stimulate
trade in what is normally dull period,
will be more competitive than those
seen for some time, especially so far as
wearing apparel is concerned.
