Negro colonization in Mexico has not turned
out a success. and most OF the colonsts have
found or are finding their way back TO their old
homes The country is in pressing need OF good
class OF immigrants. and plan is on foot to pro-
mote Irish settlements there. There Is no reason
WHY Il should not be successful. nor could the
Southern republic invite to her citizenship more
useful and industrious class Of people. They are
Catholics in the main. as the Mexcans are a
fact which would increase the warmth OF their
welcome and be an element OF harmony In their
relations with the native population. Unless the
climate or something else diminished their native
ap,itudcs they would be running the politics OF
the country In n generation or two. and crowd

that bloodshed may be averted. but
ominous threats of murder, the slaugh-
ter of animals and devastation of the
ranges are freely made. and unless a
compromise is speedily effected there
will be an armed conflict
The origin OF the difficulty was in
the Milk river valley. east of Chinook
but as large number OF cattlemen re-
siding near Great Falls own stock
ranging in that vicinity. and as many
sheepmen of the vicinity of Great
Falls have prepared to have their
shearing done near Chinook. the eX-
citement has spread. A few weeks ago
William Shearer built shearing pens
in the MILK river valley east of Chi
nook. in the midst of a number Of
ranches and in the heart of the cat
tie country. He made contracts with
several sheepmen to shear their sheep
at his pens. and has a large sum Of
money invested.
