Some Lamb Raising.

Sardus Sutton informs us that 8
ewes from his drove of sheep produc-
ed 10 lambs, one of the lambs died
but the balance are doing nicely and
are in prime condition to receive
their tea. Three of these ewes
produced triplets, lambs, as many
as those produced, and still living,
by the other five ewes. 1t is quite
uncommon for ewes to produce trip
lets, three OF them in the same drove
each producing this number, and
Sardus calls this some lamb crop"

MEXICAN SITUATION IS
GROWING VERY SERIOUS

The latest news from Mexico
indicates that the situation is very
serious and there is reason to be-
lieve that the United States and
Mexico are about to clash.
President Wilson has had an
ambassador treating with the
constitutionalist leader Carranza
for some time, but these confer
ences have been broken off and
there seems 10 be no possibility
of arriving at a. satisfactory
agreement.
A telegram Sent to the Amer
lean embassy at Mexico City by
Secretary Bryan said to contain
the information that "a matter
of serious nature was under
consideration in Washington, in
reference to Mexico.
The cavalry ordered to differ
ent sections of the country from
the Mexican border has been or-
dered to remain where they are
for the present, indicating that
they might be needed for active
service soon.

TAKING TESTIMONY IN
EARLY WATER CLAIMS

Major +. c. Morgan is engaged
in taking the testimony Of per-
sons claiming water for irriga-
ton purposes on the reservation
in priority to the extensive rec
lamation system now under con-
struction. Quite a number Ct
people appropriated water from
the various streams on the res
ervation years ago and applied
same for the purpose intended.
They claim the water by reason
of this appropriation and the
major is taking the testimony to
determine the dates of such APP
preparations and to establish who
arc entitled to the water.
J. Y. O'Donnell of the depart
ment at Washington, is report
ing the testimony, and they were
in Roman from Tuesday until
yesterday.
A number of the allotments
which have individual water
rights attached have been dis
posed of since the opening of the
reservation and the purchasers
are deeply interested in the ques-
ton, as to deny their right would
mean that they would be COM
PEELED to pay the water charges
per acre like those who will re-
celve water through the recla-
nation bitches and this may be
in excess of $40 per acre.

WARNING

Evelyn B. Keck, general sec
rotary of the Young Women S
Christian Association, has writ
ten to Governor Stewart request
ing him to keep Montana girls
out of California. While the let
ter does not state such to be the
case, it is reported that white
slavers are drawing girls to
California by false reports, so
that it will be easier to encom-
pass their ruin when they find
themselves out of work and
respondent. The letter:
San Francisco, Nov. 5, 1913.
Dear Sir: May we ask your
aid in coping with a situation
which is rapidly becoming alarm
ing? Women and girls from
eastern states are coming to US
in constantly increasing num-
bers. Trained nurses, teachers,
stenographers. and women from
all walks of life are relinquish
ing good positions in the east
and coming to California, eX-
planning that they have been
given to understand throughout
the east that the Panama-Pacific
Exposition will create positions
for more women than can pos
sibly be found to fill them. Many
of these women are here without
money and without friends. and
they say that they are already
starving. If the condition is
such in 1913, what will it be in
a few months?
We appeal to you to reach
the women and girls in your
state. through the press, or by
whatever agencies you may deem
most effacious, impressing upon
them the seriousness of the stu
alton and the fact that there are
already women to fill every
position which is now open, or
which might be created as a re-
suit Of the exposition. Sincerely
yours, (Signed)
EVELYN B. KICK,

LOCAL MAN DOES THE JOB
AFTER M|SSOULA man FAILS

John j. Rogers succeeded last
Monday in moving the Menager
building after the Missoula con-
tractor had given the job up. 1t
seems that there was onl y a saw
blade width Of play to go on be-
tween the buildings on each side
of the one to be moved, and after
it had been raised up and the
rollers passed hereunder it was
found to bind so closely as to
prevent the building being pulled
from between the other two.
After repeated efforts, the Mis-
soula contractor who had the job
of moving it gave up and relin-
quished the contract. Then it
was that Mr.. Rogers services
reouisitioned and he succeeded.
To do so, he took up the center
boards of the store floor and
pulled the spikes driven to hold
the floor joists together, and
pulled the sides of the building
in about an inch. This gave him
the necessary play to move the
building out and Tuesday it was
accomplished.
The building is to be moved to
the old Pablo & Potvin corner
and will be used by Frank Men
ager and Fred Potvin as a gen
eral merchandising store.
