seem to have taken a change for the
better. The present government has
the appearance of one of stability and
altho the United States as yet has not
recognized it, both countries are on
friendly terms. But appearances in
Mexico often are deceptive. Obre-
gon is making a strong plea for rec

American citizens seem to have

The freight rate on livestock from
a Montana point to Chicago, Ill, in
1917 was 4s cents per hundred
pounds. The present rate is 1876 per
hundred pounds, an increase of 25.5
cents. The labor cost in this transpor-
tation is now 36.7 cents, or about IL
cents more than the increase in rate.
These figures seem to afford album
dant reason for the reduction in live
stock rates promised by the railroads.
