A. V. Brlerly, Laguna, Mexico Ths
cotton outlook In Mexico never was
brighter. Rains and hot spells In alter
nation have caused tha plant to grow
phenomenally and the average win
probably come close to one bale' per acre;
Texas will also have a- banner crop this
year, I understand.
But Excess of Exports Over ;vT6tirnTci
Imports Is Smaller Than Any
Year Since 1896--Reasons
Are Shown.
Frank Bowman, Denver, Colo.
It Is very probable that Denver's
Flam will be
celebration has not
been held since 1901, although It always
was a great success. It Is now planned
to make a better show of It than ever.
Denver should be able to pull off a rood
show every year, and the fact that the
cowboy and other old time landmarks
are disappearing will make it more and
more a distinctive celebration,

crease from $72,666,666 In the 11
months of the fiscal year 1909 to $61,'
000.000 In the corresponding months of

ports during the year represents gains

the general group "manufactures" oc
curred in iron and steel, the exports of

forts to Minimize Fire Loss
Win Commendation.'
y
A committee of the Washington
Conservation association, appointed to
make a special study of railroad com
panies' methods for the prevention of
forest 4 fires In : the state of washing
ton, recently submitted a report of the
methods employed by the Chicago, Mil'
wauttee A Puget Sound Railroad torn-
pany. The system used by this com'
pany has been especially -commended
by conservation associations . of the
northwest i.;:- - ", '.
The report is considered unions In
showing what a railroad company has
dona successfully to minimize forest
fire dangers, and Indicating . the prac
tical results attained by approved meth'
ofls, all of which ix. is thought can
be adopted by ether roads In time, and
many of which are now in use on other
lines.
The report of. the committee follows
In tart: . , .
"Special precautions are taken against
fire in standing timber as well as in
bridges and buildings along the line.
"Before any arading operations ar
begun in forested sections, the stanainj
timber Is felled, the logs piled out oi
the way of the graders and In a post
tlon ready for shipment. " All ; or tne
tons.: Brush and debris are then' plied
and burned, and. contractors working
on the road are required to keep men
on the watch " day and , night as long
as there la any danger of " tha fire
spreading. 1 ;
"Most of the locomotives . running
through - the timbered sections are
equipped for 'burning oil instead of coal
Or wood. It la expected that within a
short time every locomotive that runs
through the timberea sections on the
main line of the Milwaukee road will
be equipped for oil burning. -
. Tank Oars la Readiness.
"Several tank cars1 filled with water
(one of them having an engine and
pump and several hundred feet of hose
connected) are kept at the most con
venlent points and Where a locomotive
Is always available to move them to
any fire along the line.
"A11 coal burning locomotives are re
aulred. to be carefully examined by ex
perts at the end of every run, to learn
if the spark arresting apparatus Is in
perfect working condition; Mf not, the
locomotive is held over for necessary
repairs before it Is again permitted to
go out On the road. In addition to these
precautions, engine and train men are
required to report any locomotive which
seems to be throwing out sparks.: -
"Engine mep are required to use great
care in cleaning and dumping ash pans
and to use water from the tenders to
put out fires In the coals after dump
ing. . .-. v. V .... . "
"In extremely dry weather special
men are employed at the most exposed
places to patrol the line and to look
out for and extinguish f ires.
"Engine and trainmen are required
to watch for .t ires along the . line and
whenever a fire Is discovered which
may cause damage and which they
think they can control, they are re-
ulred to Stop their train and endeavor
to extinguish tha fire. If unable to
xtlnguish the fire, they have orders
o notify the first section crew thev
meet, and also to notify the division
superintendent from the first telephone
office, which can be promptly done as
every passing trade 13 provided With
telephone facilities connecting with the
superintendent's office.
romp Aid Is Bent 1
"Whenever a report of a fire .inn
the line is received by the superintend
ent he . immediately sends i an en
gine and equipment together with-the
nearest available force of laborers to
extinguish the fire.
Section men are reaulrad to nav
special attention to all fires alonr
the line and whenever any occur which
mey are unable to control, they are to
telephone at once to the superintend
ent's office for necessary help, which
Is promptly furnished,
"Every work train caboose Is pro
vided -ft-ith'' a . telephone," and If addi
tional help la needed to control any
fire the trainmen Immediately telephone
from the spot to the superintendent's
