Believing that Italy will strike
south, across Danakil Province,
with the object of cutting the
railway from Djibouti to Adds
Ababa, Ethiopian military COM

They consider that the Italian

To foreStali such a disaster,
thousands of men have been con-
Centrated in that area, under

commander.in-chief of the army

Between Adds Ababa and Dire

duplicated and alternative tracks
laid over them.

From Adds Ababa northward in
the direction of Adowa, roads are
being built and ferries established
to facilitate the quick transport

JULY, 1887

WASHINGTON, April 1S-R. p.
Jackson Of Great Falls, member of

board, told the house public lands
committee today chaos and heavy
financial losses might result from
an immediate change in the pres
yelopment on public lands.
. Opposing the Greever amendment
to the present act to encourage
mineral development on the public
domain. Jackson urged the commit
tee to defer action for at least two
years to permit state. control groups
and oil producers the opportunity
OF stabilIxlng the Industry. A&Nf
Producers In Montana, he said,
had made q profit last year fofxthe
first time in half . decade. due
to the government and state efforts
toward conservation and stabiliza-
ton.
Jackson's objection to the Greev-
or amendment centered chiefly
about provisions which would I'm
crease the present royalty paid the.
government from to 12h upward
70 rs percent and the proposed can
collation. of present prospecting per-
mits.
Representative Greeyer demo-
crat, Wgoming, emphasized that
II was not the intention OF the bill
70 cancel any valid permits and that
he would welcome any amendment
which would safeguard these per-
mits where an equity actually ex-
lists. Jackson suggested an amend
ment which would extend these
permits until July /, 1897.
