ed States government is doing every
thing possible to prevent violation of
the neutrality laws.
| Primarily this duty devolves on the
department of justice, which Is acting
| through it's marshals and sheriffs and
| secret service agencies.
United States district attorneys also
are charged to make every effort to
discover and suppress any illegal ex-
penditures forming in United States
territory. The work Of prevention is
attended with difficulty for the reason
that 1t is not always possible to inter-
fere with the activity of the revolution
lists before they have committed any
overt acts. In the case of Francisco
Madero, the alleged head of the present
uprising, who is reported to have been
buying horses in Texas and to have
crossed the border line into Mexico, the
officials are not clear that they have
any legal right to arrest him before
1t has been established he has been
guilty, under the neutrality laws, of
organizing a military expedition. The
mere accumulation of arms and am
munition of the Texas side Of the line
is not In itself sufficient to warrant
their seizure unless it Is clearly mani
fest that they were part of the tools
of an illegal expedition.
Apparently the. Mexican government
is highly appreciative of the efforts or
the United States government to meet
it's full obligations under international
law, and 1t is noticeable that Ameri-
cans who get into trouble in Mexico
are being treated with the greatest
leniency.
NO MORE TROOPS NEEDED
1t is said at the war department that
Gen. Hoyt, in command of the depart
ment of Texas, has received no instruc-
tions from the department for the dis
position of his forces, but is simply
acting under the departments instruc-
tions to execute the provisions of the
neutrality laws.
It is believed the federal troops in
Texas are ample to suppress any riot
ing that may arise. Soldiers available
for Immediate service are stationed at
the following points: Ten troops of the
Third cavalry, the entire regiment OF
the Twenty-second infantry and three
batteries of the Third field artillery at
Fort Sam Houston; a battalion of the
Twenty-third infantry at each of the
following posts: Fort Mcintosh, Clark
and Bliss; two troops of cavalry at
Fort Huachuca, Ariz., and one battalion
of the Eighteen infantry at Whipped
Barracks, Ariz.; Capt. George V. Vid-
1ner, Eleventh cavalry; Lieut.. A. p.

The tract is about thirty miles
north of the Nevada line and about
sixty-fve miles east of the Oregon
line. 1t is about ninety miles sou-h
of the city of Boise and about FOR
ty miles west of the West Twin Falls
tract. 1t is about sixty miles from
Mountain Home. which at present
is the most accessible railroad point.
and for that reason Mountain Home,
Idaho, was determined upon as the
place where the drawing and sale
of lands should be made on October
5, 1910.
The Oregon Short Line Railroad
company has surveyed a line of rail
way through portion of this tract
running westerly from Twin Falls
into the state of Oregon.
The town of Grasmere is located
within a mile of this land and will
be the principal town of this coun-

The tract about mentioned of 1926

Company, Limited. is nevertheless

pany. and. so as to avoid confusion
and as both companies are owned by
the same stockholders, the above seq

mere country or tract.
The larger part of the 1926 acres
in this segregation was evidently the
bed of a prehistoric lake and while
almost all of the land is as level as
the floor of a house and free from
istone and rock, yet it nevertheless has
well defined slope which affords ex
cellent drainage. Around the bcun.
caries of the tract some acres arc
met with which contain surface rock
"r stones rarely larger than a person
whitehead. But this stony land does
not cover one-tenth of the tract. In
other words, out of the 1926 acres
there is probably not more than 2Oi
acres which has stone of any kind Oh
it.

have been bitterly disappointed by
many failures to find a cure. A

Second Annual Gathering at Expert
ment Farm Will Not Be Held
Until July Twenty-Ninth.
NOTAbLES ARE COMING
Governor Norris, James ]. Hill and
President Duniway, of State Uni
versity, to Be Present.

Inland Empire: The date for hold
ing the second annual Judith Basin
Farmers picnic, at the experiment
station farm just west Of Moccasin,
has been changed from July 22 to
Friday, July %.
This postponement has been or
dered by Professor F. S. Cooley for
the reason that Governor Norris has
engagements outside OF the state un-
til July "a, and Mr.. James J. Hill will
be i'll the East until July 20, hence
both would be unable to be present
at the picnic ON the first date men
toned. The latter date will also be
more convenient for some OF the ex-
pertinent station lecturers who other
wise would have conflicting engage
ments.
Notifications Of this change to July
% have been sent to the different
prominent men expected to be pres
ent and there is now good assurance
that both Governor Norris and Mr..
Hill will be on hand to take part in
the program. AS previously an
nounced in the Empire, Dr.. A. c.
Duniway, president Of the University
of Montana, has expressed his pur-
pose to attend the picnic and will
contribute to the program. Other
prominent men have also signifed
their intention to be present and the
State Agricultural College at Boze-
man, Experiment Station and Farm
ers' Institute will be represented by
number of lecturers.
Mr.. S. J. Ellison, general passenger
agent of the Great Northern railway,
writes that the schedules of both east
and west bound trains out of Billings
and Great Falls will be advanced so
as to arrive at Moccasin earlier than
usual, and that the trains will be held

The company is composed of men
with large capital and long expert
ence in handling big city additions.
They have a strong organization, of
which J. W. Patt is the head. Mr..
Patt expects to arrive in the city
within few days to take full charge
OF the work to be done here and will
open an office here with the inten-
ton OF making Lewistown his head
quarters for an indefinite period.
The new addition will offer beat
tifully improved building locations
for hundreds of the new people who

their homes during the next two or
three years. Watch for further an

Big Task and Makes Magnif-
cent Showing for Year.
HEADING TOWARD TOP

Shows Big Increase.
The total assessment of the county

assessment last year by $l,821, ,657,
The railroads in this county were as
sessed at $2,07O,OOO last year and AS
SCISSOR Marshall thinks that these fig
ures will be increased this year by
$4OO,OOO. If such is the case, the total
increase this year over last will be
better than two and quarter million
dollars. We will easily advance into
the third class among the counties Of
the state and this advancement car
ries with it substantial increase in
salaries for the county officials.
Other Figures of Interest.
This year, there were ,o41 1881 acres
OF land assessed at $5,65o,0ll, as COM
pared to l,223,957 acres assessed at

to give people from a distance op-
portunity to participate in the picnic
before leaving, and that passengers
will be carried for one-half fare, that
is, one fare for the round trip 1t is
expected that the Milwaukee road
will also grant the same reduced rate
to and fom Judith Gap, and that ar
rangements can be made for good
connections both ways at that point.
An interesting program OF speak
ing is being arranged and seating ac-
commodations will be provided for
the large gathering which promises to
far surpass the picnic of last year in
number.
1t has been suggested that an ex-
hibition be made at the station, on
the same date, Of livestock and
able corral or place for exhibiting the
stock can be provided. This is a
splendid feature that will, no doubt,
attract interest in the picnic and those
in charge are endeavoring to have
such corral built. The Moore con-
cert band will provide music the en-
tire day and a good program Of ath-
letic sports OF interest to both young
and old Will be arranged. MoccaSln
and Benchland will do battle for base
ball honors, and the Moore high
school boys, who claim the champion
ship OF Fergus county, also expect
to play the Utica team the same day.
Stands serving lunches, lemonade
and other cooling refreshments will
also be on the grounds
"A big crowd Of people will be there
to listen to the speakers, to see the
results obtained at the station by fol
lowing thorough farming methods,
and to enjoy the day and the pleasure
OF meeting distant friends and ac-
quaintances. Every farmer and resi-
dent Of the county that can possibly
do 50 should plan to spend July %
at the experiment station. Fill your
lunch basket, take the whole family
along, and spend a day that will bring
both pleasure and profit to you

He Was "Going Some"

Frank Plum, the popular young
clerk in the post office, has a motor
cycle of which he is somewhat proud.
Franks "Indian" can fairly eat up
distance, and quite unintentionally, he
let out a few notches while within
the city limits last night. AS re-
suit, Frank was gently asked to ap-
pear before Judge Mettler this morn
ing and show cause why he should
not be hung, drawn and quartered
for the offense. He put up no de-
fense to the charge of annihilating
the Smile speed limit, but pleaded IN
extenuation that the buzzer in the
dingbat got twisted up with the what
youmaycallit, nullifying the power Of
the speed reverse. After hearing
this perfectly clear explanation, Judge
Mettler fined Frank $40 and suspend
ed the fine, at the same time warning
the young man to have the "Indian's"
intervals diagnosed by couple OF
blacksmiths.
