HOW CANYONS WERE FORMED.

The secret of the great denudation
and of this wonderful achievement of
the Colorado in carving out Of rock
series of canyons about 500 miles
long, and, in one place at least, more
than mile deep. with multitude of
tributary chasms and gorges, is very
simple, when you know It, says Har-
per's Magazine. The old lake bed
slowly rose. At first the Colorado river
and its tributaries, or some nameless
monstrous ancestor Of these, sweep
ing over the slowly rising surfaces,
pIaned them down in most relentless
fashion, and then began wearing out
broad shallow stream beds. But then
the country rose more rapidly, and the
water had to cut deeper channels in
the rocks in order to get out and away
to sea. Owing in part to the wear
Of the water itself, but more to the
ceaseess bombardment Of the sus-
pended sand which 1t bore from the
up country, or picked up as it went
along, and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which it swept on in
food time, the river kept cutting down
rs the strata rose, until finally, when
what was left of our inland sea bottom
got thrust up so that, towering far
above It's erstwhile rocky shores, it
had to be called a plateau, the Colo
RADIO and It's auxiliaries found them
selves at the bottom of a series of
colossal canyons and gorges, where
they are to-day.

Broken flint is preferred because it is
sharp as well MS hard. 1t is superior to
oyster shells because it has greater cut
ting power, and serves the purpose of
grit more perfectly. Limestone is pre-
ferred to all other substances. Lime
stone, marble (Which is really lime
stone), oyster shells, clam shells, sea
shells and chalk are almost identical in
composition, all being or containing
carbonate Of lime, and if oyster shells
supply lime so will limestone. Now
chalk is also carbonate Of lime, but it
is too soft to serve as grit, hence, in or
der to secure sharp and hard grit from
n substance that contains form of
lime, the limestone should be preferred.
Bone, coarsely ground, is also excellent.

Poor Lo Is Not a Citizen.


Chamberlain, 5. D., March %
The general land Office at Wash
ington, in a decision just received
by the United States land Office in
this city, holds in substance that
an Indian cannot become a citizen
of the United States by taking out
naturalization papers the same as
would a person born in another
country. This decision is the re-
suit of an interesting and unique
struggle for possession of nearly
200 acres of valuable land in the
Chamberlain land district. The
tract in controversy is on the site
of the old Lower Brule Indian
agency. The la-d had already
been patented by the government
to the Episcopal church society
but wishing the Rev. Luke &.
Walker, the resident pastor and a
full blood Sioux Indian, TO have
the land, it was relinquished by
the society, and the secretary OF
the interior issued an order that
the tract be given to the Rev.
Walker as an Indian allotment.
Some years ago he took out nat
uralization papers and applied t
enter the land as a homestead
This application was rejected be-
cause the secretary had awarded
the tract to him as an Indian allot
ment. A white man, who is als'
claimant for the land, subse
quently offered a homestead entr.
on the tract, but this was also re
jected by the local officers on tn
ground of being in conflict wit
the order of the secretary of the in
terror. The action of the local OF
ficers in both cases has been sus
tanned by Commissioner Herman
; of the general land Office, who fun
ther decides that the Rev. MI
} Walkers declaration is null an
void, as an Indian cannot take on
citizenship papers.

Record of the Clubs.

having failed to reach the city in time for
the morning gaS;e-
The game was one of the fastest ever
played here, it being finished in an hour
and half. 1t was a clean, snappy game
too, welr played and stubbornly contested,
and wholly free from kicking and the big
crowd present, estimated from 1000 to
S,O0O including many ladies, left the
grounds thoroughly satisfied with the re-
suit. Cy Swain pitched for the local team
giving one of the best exhibitions of steady
twirling he has ever put up and keeping
the hits we'll scattered, besides well con-
trolling himself at several tickliSh points
in the game. He gave but one base on
balls and struck out one man ENactiy
the same record was made in those mat
ters by the visiting pitcher, little SudhoH,
who allowed but eight safeties on MN.
But, while all the safeties made OH SWAIN
were singles one of those secured by the
senatorial club was homer by Gettman,

In the next inning Doyle sent one straight

when Anderson lifted one over Dowd's

Wagner men was made in the seventh in

Ing in the two contests
Today's game between the Senators and
Browns should prove good one. with Tay-
lor and Weyhing as the opposing pitchers.
Taylor has been doing the best work so
far this season of any pitcher IN the big
league. and Gus Weyhing Is not far behind
him. Both have received poor support. but
this fact has hurt their work very little,
a sure Indication of a pitchers worth.

during yesterdays contest. His catch of
Reitzs fly, forward running dive after
the ball about foot from the ground, was
really the hardest effort of the game. Great
applause followed the effort
Hennie Reitz seemed to be everywhere
and nothing passed him. His recovery of
apparently safe hits over second reminded
one of his last years work. and did a great
deal toward landing the game to Washing
