STATE DEPARTMENT
QUESTIONS DECREE
The Department of State has in
structed the American Ambassador
to Mexico James R. Sheffield, in
Mexican Government toward a de
cree issued by the Governor of
lower California, Mexico, regard
ing Americans who live in the
1 'id ted States and do business in
border towns on the Mexican side.
The decree provides that these
Americans must either move their
residence to the Mexican side or
li ve up their business in Mexico.
About 100 Americans who live on
the American side and carry on
business in Tijuana and Mexicali
are affected by the order.
Only a company such as
“Union Oil of Califor
nia” can make a motor
fuel as good as—
Union Gasoline
N on-detonating
Union Gasoline provides, and always
has provided to Western motorists, the
non-detonating feature which supplies full
power to the pistons throughout their
entire stroke and eliminates all explosive
“knocking” or “pinging” on the hills or in
heavy pulling—a quality for which Eastern
motorists are now buying “special gaso
lines” and paying 3 cents per gallon in
excess of usual prices for them. Yet Union
costs no more than other high grade fuels.
Always use Aristo Motor Oil with non
detonating Union Gasoline because this
combination minimizes ca?bon to the ex
tent that motors in good condition are
run for several years without it.

Geneva Confer
ence Limited
The Geneva disarmament confer
ence has no power to scrap the
Washington treaties which run un
til 1926, and cannot he amended
before 1934, the Department of
State has announced. Tne news
paper reports from Geneva that
the adoption of the majority re
port of the subcommittee on naval
armament was in the nature of
a repudiation of the Washington
conference agreement was briefly
discussed.
It was pointed out by depart
ment officials that the import adopt
ed was the recommendation of a
subcommittee to a committee which
in turn must report to the com
mission, which is itself a prelim
inary commission to prepare f~r
a general disarmament conference
yet to be called. The reports in
the pjress, which were ■ * only
^object of conment at thy depart
ment were to the effect that the
American delegation had made a
minority report, which was con
■ urred in by the British. Argentine
and Chilean delegation*, declaring
that naval strength should be bas
ed on the tonnage of the ships in
each class, while the majority re
port was that naval strength
should be based on the single total
cf the tonnage of all ships in the
navy of each power.
The only other factor brought
out in the press reports, it was
said, was that the I'nited States
could not agree to having treaties
regulating armament supervised by
an international body like the
League of Nations. This Ameri
can policy was, the department
stated well known, and needed no
comment. It was doubtless reit
erated, it was said by Major Gen
eral Dennis P. Nolan, of the
American delegation, in response
to an inquiry.

Fires raging in. Northwestern
Montana and northern Idaho is the
worst in seven years, forestry of
ficials have declared. New fires
were being set up daily by electri
cal storms with high winds fanning
the fires into huge proportions.
Great clouds of smoke are being
given off by the Kooteniai, Kan
isksu, Blackfeet, Pen d’Orielle,
Couer d’Alene and St. Joe forests
and they are virtually a mass of
Carnes.
A fire travelling at the rate of
ten miles an hour was reported as
imperilling the White Court dis
trict along the Athabasco River
near Edmonton. It is said that by
this fire the best timber in the
province is threatened with de
struction.
At the city limits of Port Orchard,
Wn., a stiff wind had fanned the
fire and carried it rapidly toward
town. One house was destroyed
before over 200 men could stop
the raging flames.
Three homes were reported as
being destroyed at White Brush,
out of Spokane, when a brush fire
swept across the praries. Families
were hurriedly packing their be
longings and leaving their homes.
Twelve deaths had been report
ed by the middle of the week.
California, Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and British Colum
bia are affected by this the greatest
lire of several years.

American paper and snver money
may no longer circulate in Mexico,
according to Presidential decree is
sued June 25, a copy of which was
conveyed to the Department of
State by American Ambassador
James R. Sheffield.
The new ruling prohibits the im
portation and circulation in Mexico
of all foreign banknotes and money
other than gold, the exception be
ing that American banknotes to a
total of $500 may be imported into
Mexico within 100 kilometers of
the boundary.
Mexico recently resumed the is
sue of paper money following the
establishment of a new bank of
ifcsue in Mexico City, after a num
ber of years in which gold and silver
alone were accepted by the Mexican
public following the inflation and
depreciation period under President
Carranza. Foreign money has not
been legal tender In Mexico since
before Carranza, but during the
periods when Mexican paper money
was at a discount, banks carried
a counts in both Mexican and Ameri
can money, as the depositor chose.
The present decree enforces laws
already existing by prohibiting the
importation as well as the circula
tion of foreign money.

ME HEED
There are unscrupulous for deal
ers throughout the United States
who advertise to pay high prices
for furs, and a number of Alaskans
who have responded to these ad
vertisements through the mails
have been badly cheated in the
mney returns sent them for their
furs.
The criminal prosecution ser
vice of the Post Office Department
has followed up some of these
fraudlent transactions, but it is
difficult to get a criminal case
against these dealers.
The Department is now working
on a case where quite a number
of Alaskans, as well as trappers
in other sections of the United
States, have been victimized by
mailing their furs to an irrespon
magazines and sends out circulars,
and the evidence secured against
them is such that a case of fraud
may be established.
The purpose of this letter is to
warn Alaskan trappers and fur
dealers against accepting all ad
vertisements of high prices to be
paid for furs as genuine.
There are many old established
fur houses in the United States
where furs may be sent and honest
returns made, and I would advise
/laskan shippers to patronize
these houses instead of responding
to new advertisers before learning
what their commercial reputation is.
The abovo has been received
from office Dan Sutherland.
