Oldest legends Of the oldest Indian
tribes convey to us no word of an in
dustrious race of husbandmen who
carried the waters of the Salt River
out upon the desert and made it to
blossom. What dreadful catastro-
phe overwhelmed them? What cruel
fate overlook them and swept them
from the face of the earth? Ask Of
the desert which quickly returned
to claim it's own and obliterated under
its drifting sands the long lines Of
canals and bitches and the wide
spaces of green. 1t answers not.
Centuries passed, and then the Anglo
Saxon came to battle with the des-
ert. AS his great steam shovels swept
aside the sands, behold he found his
canal lines crossed and recrcssed by
the ancient bitches or following them
So great were the returns from ir-
rigation in the valley, it was but nat
ural that the old canals should be
widened and heightened and new

years. Thousands of acres OF vines
and orchards persisted miserably and
the desert once more began to en-
croach upon the cultivated fields.
With a courage born of experience
with arid conditions, sublime faith
in their chosen field, the people brave
ly tried to meet misfortunes and to
overcome them. 1t was a hopeless
struggle. Salvation, though near, was
just out of reach. The great floods
which came each year, sweeping away
bridges and tearing out canals and
bitches, could not be utilized because

The General did much for all his
relatives and his memory is blessed

Ellen is now postmistress of the viii

FILING ON sHOSH0NE LANDS
Entrymen Begin Listing Claims I'm
Special once Opened at
Ghnsh0ut

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 15.-The fling
for lands in the Shoshone reservation began
today at Shoshoni in the special land Of
fee at that place. One hundred and
twenty-five persons will file each day, the
ones whose names were first drawn in the
lottery at Lander filing first.
No information has been received in
Cheyenne that would give any color of
truth to the sensational report sent out
from Lander that trouble is impending
near the proposed new townslte between
factions from Lander and Shoshoni.
Under the present arrangement of 1ling
and drawing for homesteads and townsites
there could not well be n repetition of
the troubles incident to the rush into Okla
homa fifteen years ago and all questions
probably will be settled in a perfectly peace
full manner
The sensational reports of jobbery In con-
Injection with the turning over of the water
rights TO a private company on the Sho-
shone reservation by the state OF Wyoming
are positively denied by the state authori-
ties. The purpose was 10 secure a uniform
system OF irrigation and TO protect. not to
destroy the rights of the settlers. The
plan was approved by the interior depart
ment The maximum price of $50 cash
per acre for water rights is declared to be
reasonable.

Government Agent Lembekey investigated
and captured six japanese in a boat as
they landed to kill seals with clubs. These
surrendered without a tight. Later in the
afternoon continuous firing was heard
around the islands. Tuesday two native
guards found three Japanese landing in a
boat. Two of the raiders were armed
The native guards ordered the Japanese to
surrender, but instead they jumped into
their boat and started, TO pull OF shore at
rapid rate. One shot of warning was
away. Then the guards shot to kin. two
OF the Japanese being killed outright and
one wounded. The boat drifted to shore
and the wounded man was cared for. The
same afternoon Lembekey and n party OF
fifteen guards surprised five boats filed
with raiders The men started to row

Does Mr.. Bryan deny the authority of the

legal Illinois delegates to their seats. Those
delegates elected me national committeeman

Chicago Committeeman Insists Nsbraskar

SAYS HIS TITLE TO SEAT IS REGULAR
Illinois Delegation Was Seated by
National Convention by Large
Majority After Hearing
of Charges.

CHICAGO, Aug. h--Democratic National
Committeeman Roger @. Sullivan gave out
today a statement which he has prepared
and mailed broadcast throughout Illinois In
reply to William J. Bryans demand that
he resign from the national committee and
his subsequent assertion that his opposition
to Mr.. Sullivan was prompted solely by his
belief that Roger Sullivan and John P.
Hopkins had deliberately robbed the demo-
Gratis OF Illinois Of their political rights"
Mr. Sullivan in his rejoinder declines to
concede to Mr.. Bryan the right to question
his democracy or his membership in the
national committee.
Judgment as to my democracy" he
says. rests with the democrats of the dis
trict in which live. My title to member
ship in the national committee has been
conferred and confirmed by a higher au-
thority than Mr.. Bryan"
Continuing Mr.. Sullivan says:

in which my resignation or removal Is ad-
vised although the channel through which
the letters have come throws doubt on their
authenticity.

The purpose of the demand made by Mr..

new factional strife in the place of faction

from two men, Willard Fillmore Dunlap
and Owen p. Thompson of Jacksonville.
BY misuse of Mr.. Bryan's name and popu-
larity they hope to stir up enough discord
at Peoria 10 enable them to pose again as
leaders and as representatives of Mr..
