and Mexico. Thomas DarnelI. who
OWNS q 13o,000-acre ranch In the
State OF CoahuiIa, Mexico, about
seventy-five miles southwest of La
redo. has placed an order for three
airplanes. Two of these are to be OF
small size and will be used by scouts
for observation duty upon the ranch
and the other machine will be of a
size capable Of carrying four tons of
supplies. Mr.. Darnel1 plans to use
these ailplanes for practical ranch
work. There are already several
isolated cases where small airplanes
are In use for locating cattle herds
upon the larger ranches and making
general inspection of these proper
ties.
1t is believed also that the general
adoption OF the afrplane for transpor-
tatfon service in Mexico would do
much to restore tranquility In that
country. 1t Is known that the Car
rama Government has in view the
putting into service Of a large mum Der
of these aerial machines, not only for
carrying mail but In military opera
tons. The manufacturing of airplanes
on limited scale was begun under the
direction of the Mexican Government

1t has been the theory of many
Americans on the border for some
time that Francisco Villas store OF
ammunition and guns for supplying
his recently reorganized army was
transported to Mexico from the United
States by airplanes. It would not be
difficult to do this. IT is claimed.
The 1mpossibllity of preventing
Wholesale smuggling by the use Of
airp1anes may bring about free trade
between the United States and Mexico,
according to the views of men on the
border. All immigration laws and
regulations may also be set aside be-
cause OF the availability of the new
means Of transportation. 1t would
take an army OF airpIanes to guard
the border against Illicit traffic in
goods and men, 1t IL pointed out.

There has been considerable unrest
among the Chippewas since game
wardens twice placed their chief under

which has just ended. Both in jus

The chief bases his refusal to abide
