partment.
The report forecasts the necessity
OF keeping soldiers on the interna-

and tells of the troubles of the
troops in enforcing the embargo
against the shipment of arms into
the wartorn republic.
General Bliss declares the only
hope in Mexico is a strong govern

is in counter revolutions. These,

SUR IN NEW ZEALAND BUrTER
Expect First Consignment in JAM
nary, Sell nc 33e.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 2.-First
arrivals OF New Zealand butter will
reach this market early in January,
when a shipment OF 1000 boxes is
expected. This shipment will be
duplicated the first week in Feb
ruary and also during the first
week in March. The receipt OF this
consignment will be divided among
the larger operators identified with
the Pittsburgh Butter & Egg ex-
change, and is expected to be sold
around 81 to 33c per pound. The
stock was bought at a fixed price,
and the shipment will be the first
butter from that country ever
brought into this market.
Arrival of New Zealand stock, so
It Is said here, will be consumed
principally along the west coast, and
such receipt and consumption will
work against the business Of the
creameries in several of the states
west of the Mississippi river. Should
these receipts continue extensive,
creameries In other sections of the
country also are expected to show
o decreased business.
Tests of the New Zealand but
ters which arrived here show that
he stock does not contain as much |
salt as the domestic article, but is
admitted to be sweet, nevertheless.

REAL WORK STARTED
ON STATE LAND
EXCHANGE
MONTANA'S REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENTS MAN.

r. NJ. MacMurray, Montana's repre-
sentative in the proposed state land
exchange with the government, ar
rived in Missoula yesterday and inn
mediately met with c. l.. Smith, the
special representative of the forest
service, to begin the planning of the
work of examination and classification
of the land involved, There was little
that the gentlemen could announce
days to get things lined up for defi-
mite action. Mr.. MacMurray and Mr..
Smith AVE an office at the forest
service headquarters, and stated yes
terday that they will rush the pre-
liminary work as fast as possible, so
that crews may soon be at work in the
field. .".s
One of the first things to be de-
cided upon is the amount of lane
which it will be necessary to actually
examine. Much of the rougher sec
tions containing practically no timber
and unfit for agriculture come in on
the exchange, and for them the state
is to select agricultural lands in east
ern Montana. These tracts the forest
service already knows about, and the
records of the office can be taken to
a large extent. This will cut down
the cost of work of classification so
that it will come within the appro-
priation.

DANGER there have not been

sort" said Joe, lis only because the
guardian angel of these kids is vigil
liant and always on the job. We have
had some bad cases which should have
taught every boy in own a lesson as
to catching OF moving trains in the
yards. Last fall the Hale boy was
almost killed; here is another accident,
and there are other boys limping
around town, crippled in just the same
way. There is hardly a day that I
don't a " to drive some boy away
from my engine as l am leaving the
yards. Just two or three days ago /
stopped and got off the engine to drive
a boy from my pilot; and he talked
back to me so that l cuffed him. He
didn't ride that night, but he will try
it again, and he will keep trying it,
until he has tried it once too often;
that's the way they all do. 1t is al
most impossible for the trainmen to
keep the boys off, especially in the
evening. The worst offenders are the
boys who live east of the Rattlesnake
and who try to get a ride home in this
a But there are others-plenty of
them. And there should be some of
them punished so they will stop this
practice, If this is not done, there
will be another one killed one of these
days.
