OBITUARY 
It is with exceeding regret that we 
have to record the death of Mr. Lou C. 
Barker, the superintendent of only three 
months’ standing of Forest Hills Cem- 
etery, Chattanooga, Tenn. He died aft- 
er a week's illness of pneumonia, on 
June 15, and his was the third death 
in his family from the same dread dis- 
ease within three weeks, his wife and 
her mother preceding him. Mr. Barker 
had succeeded Mr. William Taylor and 
had made a good start in his work. The 
work of the office will be temporarily 
conducted by Dr. Bushnell. 
PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
In the foreign trade opportunities 
suggested in “Daily Consular and Trade 
Reports”: A report from an American 
consular officer states that one of the 
largest department stores in western 
Canada contemplates the purchase of 
from 5 to 10 carloads of wire fence 
and fencing, and he suggests that Amer- 
ican manufacturers of these lines com- 
municate with this firm.

in connection with the question of re- 
opening of Mount Calvary Cemetery, 
Denver. Colo., as a burial ground. Lot 
owners fear that their property rights 
in their lots will be jeopardized, while 
outside property owners protest on 
business grounds. 
Clayton Hart, superintendent of the 
National Cemetery, Springfield, Mo., for 
the past five years, has resigned. Mr.

his charge was one at Keokuk, la. J. S. 
Gray, superintendent Hart’s assistant,

termaster’s department at Jefferson Bar- 
racks. 
The contract for disinterring the re^ 
mains of 4,000 soldiers buried at the 
National Cemetery at Fort Brown, Tex.,

dall of Brownsville. The remains are
