PERMIT NEEDED FOR HUNTERS
IN MEXICAN.

Tucson. = Warning that all
Americans who wish to hunt.
game in Mexico must obtain per.
mits through the Division of
Forestry, Hunting and Fishing
Of the Mexican department of
agriculture, was issued Tuesday
of this week by j. E. Anchondo,
Mexican consul here. The fact
that some Americans attempt to
hunt in Mexico without learning
the Mexican laws. called forth
the statement.
According to Anchondo, ap.
plication for hunting permits on
national lands must be made in
letter to the department of agri-
culture. This department will
then direct the applicant where
to pay the proper fee and upon
receiving a receipt for the fee
will send a permit which is good
for one year. Trapping of any
except predatory animals is for.
bidden.
Predatory animals may be kill.
ed any time during the year, but
the open season on all other an.
imals extends from September /
until March l.
Young animals, or the mothers
of young animals may not be
killed at any time. The killing
Of certain animals and birds is
now forbidden by presidential
decree. Under these DEGREES
white herons may not be killed
until March 81, 1926. prong. horn
antelope are protected until
September 80, 1882, and Big
Horn and Rocky mountain sheep
are protected until the same
time. The open season on alli-
gators extends from March 1
until September 81.
Hunting of such birds as quail
and partridge is forbidden in all
the border states, and the killing
of mocking birds. linnets and
clarion birds is prohibited until
next August, Closed season on
such birds is from February i
until July 81. Licenses for
sport hunting for foreigners not
residing in Mexico cost $25 in
Mexican currency for each year.

Personally I believe they are not
particularly set on having vest
ed rights rights but they would
like to have grazing stabilized
by having ten-year permits and
have established preferences
made by a matter of law.
Covering other points, Mr..
Boice said: Arizona cattlemen
on various occasions have ex
pressed themselves as in favor
of retaining the forest service in
the department of agriculture. /"
I think they still feel that way.
Il feel that grazing fees is an
executive problem and should
remain in the hands of executive
officers. / feel congress is un
able to deal with grazing fees
for several reasons. First, con.
Rress would have to make un
iform grazing fees and would not
take into consideration the char.
acter or condition of the forests
in the various parts of the coun
try. Second, congress is con
trolled by eastern represent.
atives who know nothing Of
grazing on the national forests.
Third, such 8 method would lead
to more difficulty for the cattle
men. They are seeking stability
of the industry. Uniform graz.
ing fees with congress would be
satisfactory to cattlemen in one
place and not in another. In a
northern country the same fee
could not justly apply to south.
ern country. and conditions are
always changing, requiring in.
dividual judgment which the ex.
ecutives now give.

Mr.. A. e. Sweet, Asst. Gen. Mgr
Southern Pacific Company. =
El Paso, Texas.
Mr.. Dear Mr.. Sweet: On Tues.
day of this week I was in Pata
gania and learned from citizens
there the extreme difficulties
with which they have had to
contend for some months past in
the matter of mail service. This
condition, it appears, arises out
of the fact that you are operat
ing trains on an infrequent
schedule. Due to the fact that
this train must handle both
freight and passenger business.
and it is alleged that it is scarce
~ ever, if at all, on time. and
that even first class mail is often
days in reaching its destination
only a short distance away.
1t is my understanding that
your company is willing to re-
linquish the handling of mail,
and in fact would be glad to do
so if arrangements could be made
with the government for the
cancellation of your contract and
the transfer thereof to the stage
line, which opera tes regularly
during daylight hours, and which
could offer vastly superior ser.
vice.
It is my desire to take this up
with the proper government Off
Gals in order to secure authority
at an early date for the transfer
of the contract to the stage line,
and assuming that I have been
correctly informed as to your
company's attitude, I wish you
would confirm the same in order
that I may proceed with nego
tiatiOns at once.
Awaiting an early reply, l am
