EXCURSION BEARING FRUIT
Williams County farmers Buying
Cows and Building Sfios.

Cows and Building sHos.
About 1000 head of dairy cattle are
owned by farmers of the district ad.
jacent to Williston. Over one-third
OF the cattle have been shipped to that
district since. the recent excursion
was made by farmers to Minnesota
and Wisconsin, where they studied
dairying methods.
The dairy excursion was made for
the purpose of creating interest in
raising dairying cattle.
In connection with the general
dairy movement the plan of estab-
fishing a creamery is being consid-
cred. The ensus of dairy cattle was
taken in connection with the pro-
posal.
Williams county banks are giving
the cattle movement every encour-
agement possible, several of them hav-
ing gone into the cattle business on
the cooperative basis. Cattle are pur-
chased in Southern Minnesota. and in
Wisconsin and are resoldN to the
farmers at actual cost. Low interest
rates are charged on the notes that
farmers. in most instances, make to
cover the cost of the cattle.
North Dakota will probably put in
at least 1900 new silos this year and
the indications are that Williams coun-
ty will have it's share. The old idea
of small grain farming is being aban-
doned for diversified crops, alfalfa
and live stock.

Refusal to Agree to Armistice

Washington, May 5.-General Car

tically We're eliminated from the pro-
ceedings of the three South American
ENJOYS who have undertaken to solve
the Mexican problem by diplomacy.
In a telegram to Genera Carranza

of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General iIuerta the withdraw
their invitation to him to send a per-
sonal representative to participate in
the mediation negotiations,
The mediators told the Constitution
alist that so long as he maintains his
present attitude they must decline to
treat with him. General C~arranza had
inquired in a note to the ENJOYS what
subjects a special representative
might be required to discuss, point
ing out that if the genera problem of
pacifying Mexico is to be approached
he cannot authorize any one to par.

He reiterated that be will consent
to mediation only on the incidents
which had brought about a controver-
sy between the United States and
Mexico holding that h. is the con.
sstitutiOnally chosen reader to whom
complaint about the Insult at Tampico
and other offenses originally should
have been made
In their telegram the mediators
quoted C%arranza's last note to them,
adding that so long as lie maintains
that attitude they must decline to re-
ceive a representative from him, as
they cannot separate the incidents at
Tampico and elsewhere which have
brought about friction between Mex
leo and the United States from the
general subject Of pacifYing Mexico.
This new turn in events ended, in
the view of many officials, the chance
of solving the entire Mexican prob
lem Immediately, though it did not
lessen the enthusiasm of the medi-
ators, who will continue their efforts
to solve the differences between Huer-
ia and the United States, which d.
rectly brought about the present crisis.
Huerta Names Delegates.
The South American mediators held
three lengthy sessions, announcing
through Secretary Bryan that General
Huerta has designated D. Emilio Ra.
basa, an eminent Mexican jurist; Au-
gustin Rodriguez and Luis Elguero,
a prominent lawyer. as his delegates
to confer with the mediators.
Reports of the desperate condition
OF Huerta at Mexico City continued to
circulate and with such circumstan.
tial detail from authentic sources as
to leave no doubt OF his critical condi-
ton.
There have been some amusing
features to tighten the serious aspects
of the mediation proceedings. The
mediators have been receiving many
letters approving their course and Of
fering advice. One letter urged that
Theodore Roosevelt is the mar to set
up a provisional government in Mex
leo, backed by North, South and Cen
trail Americas. and that the Spanish
republics should induce him to under
take the provisional direction of af-
fairs at Mexico City.

What the disease means to those
countries where it has gained a real
grip is shown by the fact that on it's
last serious outbreak in Germany the

showed that in the German Empire
431, 235 head of cattle, 23O, sos sheep
and goats and 1853, 80S swine were affect

year the pestilence ravaged live stock
in France. Italy, Belgium, Austria
Hungary, Switzerland, Roumania and
Bulgaria. In 1888 it was estimated
that the disease cost England $1,000,
