seph, going south. The dust blows
out OF the Missouri river. IT is the
only river IN the world where the
dust blows in great columns out of
the river-bed. The catfish come
up TO the surface to sneeze. From
the great wide stretching sand
bars on the Kansas shore great
columns of dust and sand, about
two thousand feet high, come
whirling and sweeping across the
river and hide the town, and sweep
through the train and make every
thing SO dry and gritty that Il man
can light match on the roof of
his mouth. The Missouri river is
composed OF six parts of sand and
mud and four parts of water.
When the wind blows very hard it
dries the surface of the river and
blows ii away in clouds of dust. 1t
is just dreadful. The natural color
the river is seal brown but
when it rains for two or three DAYS

Snakes is mosely piseIf, but some

they seem to like it that way best.

the world that has two mayors
and two city governments, police,

Main street and are welded. The

GINA, goes TO the pavement on the

site side, who has II warrant for
his arrest. A misstep or too
