BoYCOTTEp CHEESE,

New York. April Wisconsin and
other Western cheesemakers are to
benefit to the extent of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars by reason OF the
fight that is on between the New York
Liquor Dealers association and the
farmers in New York state.
The immediate issue of the fight is
the boycotting of New York cheese
producers and the buying exclusively
from Western dealers, chiefly in Wis
consin.

cheese, says
wisconsin cheese sells in New
York City from Is to 14k cents pei

the addition of the cost of freight, Wis

inspected the damage today. No offic-

it is thought that $4,000 will cover
everything.
Shamrock HIS masc was secured

derstood that he declined the exten-

feet from the deck. it broke again
with the weight of the water in the
sails. Later, when an effort was made
to raise it, the mast buckled again
and it was finally taken abroad a
lighter. 1t is believed the first break
was either in the turn buckles of the
main shrouds or in the rigging screws,
near the deck. In May. 1901, Sham
