in the lower section, is at such a dis
lance from the high snow fields of the
Rocky mountains that the gradual melt
ing Of the snow in the spring does not
maintain the constant flow in the river
that it otherwise would. There is con-
siderable snow, but the altitude being
relatively low, whenever a Chinook
strikes the snow it melts with exceed
ing rapidity, finds, It's way to the creeks
and causes them to flow to considerable
heights AS a result the Milk is a very
f1ashy stream, rising and falling sud-
denly and eroding its banks at each
rise On account of the instability of
the banks it has been, found difficult
to maintain canal headworke and
number have been destroyed from time
to time. So variable a stream, as a
general rule, has a low discharge in
summer, and the Milk is no exception.
The Fort Belknap and other bitches
have found it difficult to obtain suffi-
cient water during the irrigating
season. Some of the ranchers are con-
sidering the advisa bility of damming the
'coulees" at their outlets and thus stor-
ing the spring freshets.
The government has moved its gag
ing station for the Milk from Chinook
to Havre. The one at the former place
has not been successful
The Yellowstone is gagged at Living
ston, where it's drainage area Is $3.50
miles, and it's discharge from May to
December inclusive about 2sS67,2 acre
feet. The report says: Irrigation de-
velopment along this river, in the vi
entity of Billings, is the result of a de-
sire to take advantage of the grant by
the general government of certain arid
lands authorized by the so-called Carey
act. The state has undertaken the
construction of a canal heading on the
north side of Yellowstone river, a short
distance above Laurel, with the idea
of irrigating the bench lands in the VII
entity of Billings. A number of canals
are already taken from the river In
this vicinity, but they serve only the
bottoms For a few years these low
lands produced excellent crops, but
within the last year or so considerable
alkai has developed in the soil. Elk
periments are now being made at the
Agricultural college in Bozeman to de-
wise means to overcome this. The
| bench lands which the state ditch, as
| it is called, is to irrigate, are of better
| quality than those adjacent to the
| river

Death for Corn Microbes.

That little bit of tough skin on the
business side of the little toe, that I'M
failing barometer and inducer of pedal
agony, the corn, is not simply the "e-
suit of wearing boots too tight or too
loose, as We have been taught to be-
lieve. 1t has far more important ped
igree than that and actually boasts q
bacillus-the corn bacillus. His identity
has long been hidden, but Trappist
monk discovered the rascal and his
complete destruction may be looked for
in the near future.
The pesky organism has been digni-
fed with a name, Bacillus Diabolicus, it
is called. Physicians will abbreviate
that to Di The monk La Trappe who
found him out gives detailed instruc-
tons for the capture and punishment
of the vicious mite for the benefit of
suffering humanity. The prescription IS
composed of 80 grains of perehloride OF
mercury in solution and 30 drops OF
laudanum de Sydenham. Place this on
the affected spot and the career of the
bacillus diabolicus comes to an ignoble
end.

WAR FAR FROM ENDED.
General King Says the Philippine situa-
ton Is Most Serious.

San Francisco, June 1.-Brigadier Cen
eral Charles King, who returned home on
the transport City of Puebla owing to i'll
health, in an interview says:
1.-THE situation in the Philippines is most
serious. The people of those islands will
keep up a guerrilla warfare and there is
no telling when hostilities will cease.
They retire to the Businesses of the noun
tains, retreat when they are whipped and
hide in the jungles. Subsisting on practi-
caly nothing, they have no need of a base
of supplies. 1t will necessitate a large
force of men to subiugate them COM
pletely. The war in the Philippines is by
no means ended. Their Entertainments
arc works of military engineering and
construction equal to the best the most
civilized military nations have produced.
Under the Spanish regime the Filipino
learned something of war and We are re-
ceiving evidence of this every day.
1.-THE volunteers who fought in the Phil
ippines are a splendid lot of men, capable
and accomplished fighters. They behaved
like veterans when under fire and there
is no limit to their. courage. Their record
in that awful country will adorn pages
of American history recently made and
yet unwritten." .A ~"
General King will remain in this city
for a few days and then leave for the
East. -l.-s -..

AN EARTHQUAKE
Gave Northern and Central California a
Shaking UP.


San Francisco, b. June IA sharp
earthquake was felt throughout north
ern and central California at 11:19
o'clock tonight. The vibrations in this
city continued for four seconds and
were from north to south. No serious
damage is reported, but glassware and
windows were broken and plasterng
cracked in various parts of the city.
The capstone of the cornice over the
main entrance of the Odd Fellows
building at the corner of Market and
Seventh streets was shaken from it's
fastenings and thrown to the sidewalk,
through which it fell into one of the
rooms connected with the Grotto res
taurant. No one was in the apartment
at the time and the property loss will
be nominal. The new Union ferry
building at the foot of Market street
suffered somewhat by the breaking IF
glass and fractures in the finish on
some of the walls. The Winchester
hotel on Third street also shows signs
of the force of the Shock plaster hav-
ing been dislodged from the ceiling in
various places. Other buildings were
slightly damaged
