Washington Senator Eyes Exchange Of School Lands In Forest Reserves
Senator Jones plans a Washington only bill to swap school sections 16 and 36 in forest reserves for an equal area land parcel in a compact form.

New US Mexican Ties Strengthen as Warship Patrols Reassured
On March 14 in New York the Mexican Ambassador and the Mexican Minister of Finance reported Washington assurances of close cooperation with the Taft administration. A State Department telegram said US warships on Mexico’s Pacific and Gulf coasts would call at ports only for coal, then withdraw. Secretary Dickinson denied any plans to mobilize a second Army corps on the frontier, and General Wood echoed the denial. Senor Limantour said no new developments justify doubt about the original mobilization for maneuvers, stressing that troops beyond those already planned are unlikely needed to curb smuggling or insurrectionists at the border.
