PRICES DOWN
AT PUREBRED
STOCK SALES
Breeders Secretary Says Cost
Of High Grade Cattle Never
So Low Again.

Probably never again will there be
an opportunity equal to the present
for the Montana grower to enter the
business OF raising blooded cattle, or
to enlarge the herd he is now run
ming, G. e. Axtell, secretary OF the
Montana Shorthorn Breeders asso-
citation, asserted while in Great Falls
arranging for the annual Shorthorn
sale at the livestock pavilion. Mr..
Axtell is unable to anticipate another
period when purebred Shorthorns
will be sold US cheaply as at the
forthcoming Great Falls auction.
Need Dairy Strain
'The outlook for the shorthorn
breeder is exceedingly bright" Mr..
Axtell said, land there is much
greater demand for purebreds than
there is capital to carry on the sales.
The steady movement of Montana
toward the dairy industry has brought
about a desire for the introduction OF
the milking Shorthorn breed into the
state. It is my personal opinion that
the ShorthOrn is the best breed OF
stock for the average Montana farm,
as it fares much better, under less
care and attention, than the more deli
cate and fancier breeds Of dairy
stock"
II, when 35 head were sold at an
three years would see several milking
Shorthorn herds in the state as well
as many more Of the beef variety.
Most buyers, he said, are found to
be farmers who have never been en-
gagged before in the livestock business
and each sale therefore means that
another herd will be started.
Good Sale at Bozeman
One of the most successful Short
horn sales conducted by the associa-
ton way held in Bozeman, January
II, when IS head were esold at an
average price of $135. which Mr.. Ak
tell considers very good price IN
comparison with those received Of
eastern Shorthorn sales. Mr.. Axtei!
said he expected that between 80 and
60 head would be placed on the BLOCK
at the sale, which will be held in
Great Falls May IS. He has already
arranged with the breeders OF the
state to have their saleable STOCK
shipped here.

PEKlNG, November 1S.-Measures
for the immediate relief of the for.
eign missionaries kidnapped by Chi.
nese bandits were demanded of the
Peking government today by the
American, British, Italian, French
and Swedish ministers. who acted un-
der instructions of their governments.
The five Ministers, presenting a
joint note. called in person and in
formed executives Of the Chinese re-
public that the continued retention
of the missionaries in captivity would
not be tolerated by the powers. The
powers. it was said, would be COM
PEELED to act drastically unless the
missionaries were released and guar
antees given for the future safety of
the hundreds of other missionaries
in China.
Vigorous Language Used.
The note was couched in vigorous
language. It declared that the mis-
sionaries were carrying on their
work in the interior Of China under
treaties which had been violated by
the abductors.
1t is understood that Washington
instructed Jacob Gould Schurman. the
American minister. to impress upon
China the seriousness Of the bandits
activities in OBTAINING foreigners for
political motives. DR.. Schurman pro-
tested only in behalf of the two
American captives, but Joined the 9TH
er ministers in q general complaint
against interference with the treaty
right Of missionaries.
List Of Hostages.
Besides the Americans. the captives
now include one Greek, one French
citizen, one British subject. one
Swedish and one Italian. The French
minister represented the missing
Greek. The Italian hostage was iden-
tilted as Father Grimaldi. who was
captured in Anhwei province and tar
en- into Honan province, where about
10000 outlaws have been holding 9
large area. The others all are de-
tained in Honan.
The bandits have seiezed the vari-
Gus nationals with view Of forcing
the Peking government to incorporate
the bandits in the regular Chinese
army. Most Of the brigands are dis
missed soldiers who want reinstate'
Pekinx probably will be forced to
accede to the bandits demand in Or
der to satisfy the powers.
