Some Wonders in Wyoming.

New York Sun: Among the ma
tional show regions some day will be
the Big Horn mountain country in
northern Wyoming. The results of
the five years of study which N. II.
barton has given to this field are
now published by u geological sur
vey. They reveal this mountain
area rising from the plain as a land
OF remarkable scenic attractiveness
and large variety of interest. 1t has
scores of miles of canyons along the
rivers, some of them 1900 feet in
height. There are glaciers on many
the slopes, and the towering lime
stones are weathered here and there
into castles and pyramids, reminding
the visitor of scenes in the Tyrol.
The brilliant red wall where hard
red sandstone outcrops extends for
hundreds OF miles along the foot of
the mountains and through some of
the river valleys, and there is climb
ing without end for the expert noun
taineer and the tenderfoot. The
o exquisite of lakes are perched
high in the range 5000 feet above
the ca, the rivers are full of trout
and game is fairly abundant. 1t is
a good place to enjoy the outlook,
whet the appetite and loaf through
a play spell. Two summer resorts
have now been established in the
mountains, which hunters, prospect
ors and herders have for years mon
opolized.

The Late General Whit.

Philadelphia Record: General
Wint was one of the small group of
remaining officers of the regular
army who saw service in the civil
war. He had the singular distinc-
ton of having entered both the vol
unteer and the regular service
through the ranks. He was a Penn
sylvanian, and in the Sixth cavalry
of this state he reached the rank of
a commissioned officer before the end
of the war. Soon after his time ex
pired in the volunteer service he en-
tered the regular cavalry as an en-
listed man, and in a few months was
again a second lieutenant. He dis
tinguished himself in campaigns
against the Indians a dnin Cuba and
the Philippines. He fastened his
end by arduous work in getting the
eXpeditionary force off for Cuba last
year. He succeeded General Bell in
command of the troops in the island
but was compelled by his health tc
return to this country for medical
treatment.

Roosevelt and the Railroads.

Kansas City Star: President
Roosevelt has demanded nothing
more of the railroads than is de-
manded of every citizen and of every
industry in the United States. The
Opposition o. lie roads to his rea-
soEable restrictions demo illustrated
that he took tho sten fln regulating
them non TOO soon. fer the ohsti.
macy with which they have resisted
indicates clearly a great misconcep-
ton or responsibility to v
rteni.
This feature of the contest has
been the amazing incident of the sit
uation to the people. If there is any
spirit of enmity against the rail-
roads, it has been brought about by
their s%tupendous blunder in oDpos-
ing every fair and equitable meas
uro proposed for orderly regulation.
A failure to ''understand'' Tie
presidents policy could alone &C.
count for the senseless war on the
administration, and yet it seems i'm
possible of belief that the intellect
which has perfected the great rail-
road industry of this country would
stumble over a proposition so sim
pie. The issue has been enlarged
somewhat by the hostile attitude of
the railroads, S that the question in
volved now is not only for a reason
able regulation, but the roads must
also be enlightened on the question
of the supremacy of the government
under which they exist.

or MISSOURI RIVER
A Magazine Writer Foxes Fun at the
Big River Which Flows
Through South Dakota.

The Missouri river is particnlar,v
hoteu LOT the many peculiarities
which it possesses, the principal one
being the many times that it changes
It's course during a season, taking
land from one place and depositing
1t in another. George Fitch, an IL
ilhols writer, makes the following
contribution to the American Maya
zine on that t%ortuous body of water:
There are rivers of all lengths
and sizes and of all degrees of wet
ness. There are rivers with all sorts
OF peculiarities and with widely vary
ing claims to fame. But there is
only one river with a personality.
habits, dissipations, a sense of hui
NOR n a woman's caprice, a river
that goes travelling sidewise, that
lnterferes in politics, rearranges
geography and dabbles in real es-
tate; a river that plays hide and
seek with o today and tomorrow
follows you around like a pet dog
with a dynamite cracker tied to his
tail. That river is the Missouri"
Among the stories Mr.. Fitch tells
10 IllC
This thing happened in Kansas
City not many years ago. A party
OF men owned a strip of land along
the Missouri river bank. 1t was not
handsome land, but it was valuable
for factory purposes. They were
offered portly prices for it, but held
on
One day they noticed that the
strip was getting emancipated. They
held a hurried diagnosis with a sur
veyor's tape and found that half of
it had wasted away. The next year
half of the remainder had gone.
The men wanted to sell then, but
the market seemed remarkably slug
gish. The next year the river ate SO
vigorously that only a tiny strip
about as wide as a piece of baby rib
bon was left. The men we're very
much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to in
crease. The Missouri had chosen the
late manufacturing site to deposit a
tine 16O-acre farm upon which it
had foreclosed up the river. Inside
OF six months that strip of land CON
tanned 200 acres. The men we're ju-
bilant, but still they would not sell.
They wanted another 100 acres they
said. They strolled along the bank
each day and urged the river, in pro-
prietary tones, to build faster.
Then the river changed It's mind
once more and not only wiped out
the extra 100 acres, but the original
100 acres, every foot of it. The next
year it built up 500 acres in the same
spot, but they all belonged to the
man who owned the ground behind
the original plot. They have stayed
there ever since, that is, up to last
reports. For high financing and
property juggling the Missouri makes
a crooked lawyer look like a child.
I hate to think what it would do for
a man if it had a personal friendship
for him."

Fees Must BE Paid.

Pierre, S. D., April 3.-The new
law in regard to the clerk of the SUI
preme court, and the fees to be
charged for cases in the court is not
a popular proposition with attorneys
of the state. The law requires them
to advance $40 before they can have
a case filed in the court. This takes
the place of all other fees in the
cases in that court, but when a client
does not pay his fees in advance the
attorney must either do the advance
act himself or allow the case of his
client to lag. A number of cases
which We're before the court came
under that class, and attorneys were
called upon to advance the required
fees in these cases before they could
proceed. Taking the average num-
Der of cases filed in the court the
fees will just about pay the salary
of the clerk and an assistant, and
the state will not be gamer TO any
great extent by changing the Office
from a fee to a salary basis.

THE VANISHING VETERANS

the Old soldiers.

the Old soldiers.
Chicago Tribune. Another evil
aeuce that the great army of soldiers
OF the ciyiI var is fast vanishing is
afforded by the organization of "a
new post Of the Grand Army of the
Republic which is to hold its meet
ings Sunday afternoons. Because OF
physical infrmities the charter mem
Ders OF odd Glory" post have found
it hard to get out for the usual even
ing meetings. So they have sought
relief by the establishment OF a day
time post.
In mastering them in the past de-
partment commander expressed his
belief that this may be the last post
! of the Grand Army to be organized
The ranks of the veterans are being
depleted rapidly by death. Each
years summary reveals the absenca
of a host who responded at roll call
the year before. Most of the greet
commanders have gone. The man
who was 20 in 1860 is now 6Z.
There We're thousands who were far
past 90 when they rallied at the
call of Abraham Lincoln. Each year
now is bound to show a relatively
larger death rate and it cannot be
long until the last of the veterans of
u great conflict is gone.
With the passing of those who
preserved the union in its time of
distress is s%pringing up a race of peo-
Pile who know little of that great con-
test and can little appreciate the
strength of the sentiment which is
behind the Grand Army of the Re
public. Millions of other citizens
have no personal relationship to tile
men who followed the flag between
1861 and 1865. Not only the indi-
yiduals are passing away, but the era
in which they played a part. So DOM
inant has been the influence of the
soldier during the last forty years
that it will indeed seem strange when
the bugle call fails to secure the at
t~ention of a single veteran.
But no change of citizenship or
shifting interest will make the world
forget what the Grand Army of the
Republic accomplished. The strength
and glory of the nation is its monu-
mont. There is no regret over things
undone. The members of the Grand
Army of the Republic have the pc
culiar Joy of a happy memory of ac-
complishment. The kindness and
care of a grateful people will be
theirs during the evening of life.
Their work will not be forgotten
when they are gone
lowa's legislature is getting q lit
tie less radical on it's railroad legis-
lation. Governor Cummins seeing
where things We're leading to was
called upon TO caution the legisla-
ture against being too radical in
curbing the corporations, and the
members evidently took his advice.
There is this difference between the
Iowa legislature and that of South
Dakota-the latter made some great
pretensions what it was going to do
when it got into session, but failed
to deliver the goods, as there was
hardly an act passed but what it
was a benefit, more or less, to the
railroads of the state. Iowa's legis-
%l&ture also did some tall talking be-
fore the session and then made more
than good by its acts, and to the
extent that the governor had to call
a halt.
