Torreon, Mexico, Feb. 19, In how

ondres Osuna, director of public ed

children, from attending bull tights.
Henor Osuna contends that wit

Whatever action may be taken by
the xtate government it is a fact that

TO SAVE THE FORESTS
Washington, Feb. 19. A reduction
in the duty- on news print paper from

establishment of a duty of one
twelfth cent a pound on mechanic
ally ground wood pulp are the rec

which reported lo the House today.
The report states that It presents th
unanimous report of the entire com
mittee. Tlte committee report says It would
mem that the production of news
print paper or the other cheap grades
of paper are today dependent upon
the continuation of cheap ground

for lumber. The amount of standing
-piucc Is variously estimated but is
roughly guessed to be about Ta.oOO.-

An appeal Is made for the conser

urging that an organized fire depart
ment should be maintained to tight

the Council yesterday under the name
of Jaffa county, which new bill pass

the rules by an almost unanimous
vote. In support Of the bill Sanches
scored the Council for having passed
the Curry county bill aid for defeat
ing the Hent and Taft county meas
ures and told his colleagues It was
time the House took action compell
ing the Council to respect its wishes
in the matter of legislation. It Is
stated that unless the Council comes
to time the House will adopt a res

on the calendar and giving prefer
ence to House measures, thus forcing
a dead-lock and making the Council
sue for pence by asking for a Joint
conference to settle the trouble. It Is
understood the Pent county bill Is to
be re-introduced under another name,
but this time no portion is to be
taken from San Miguel county, as
was the case in the original bill.
