Don't complain Of the heat s,

Don't complain of the heat. Sun
shine is an asset that cannot be mea-
sured. 1t has started the wheels of
trade that had been halted by an un-
precedented period of cold. Business
of every sort feels the quickening pulse
of this healthful warmth. Old Sol has
removed from a countless number of
mercantile establishments an accumu-
lation that in its place was as noxious
as the fungus IN deep, shaded and
damp forest. In country like Ameri
ca, where 80 much depends upon what
each year comes out of the earth, Just
plain, ordinary sunshine is a limitless
asset. BE happy and keep cool if you
can, but if you can't do not complain,
for it is better that you should be hot
rather than tens of millions IN yalne
should be cut from the ripening har.
lvssts..

Stock the Cause of Trouble.

The range stock question is reaching
an acute stage in western Stanley
county, where the homesteaders are
being accused of shooting stock which
they have put their crops. The stock
men, in compliance with custom, and
the law as it shows on its face, are al
lowing their stock to run at will and
the gardens and crops Of the home
steaders are the sufferers from such
trespass. The ranchers say their stock
is being found suffering from gunshot
wounds and in many cases killed by
rifle shots. They are offering rewards
for evidence to how who is doing the
work, but that will DO hard to secure as
the homesteaders believe they are
right in keeping live stock on their
crops by any means at their power, and
even if they know who is doing the
work they will not tell The cattle
men claim to be in the right and want
to allow their stock. to range without
this new element of loss, and ther e
does not appear to be any middle
ground for them to get together on.

Battleship Fleet on Long Journey.

Washington, July TO- Everything
has paled into insigniiconce before the
bold stroke of President Roosevelt this
week in ordering Americas splendid
battleship fleet to the Pacific. The
sending OF this powerful sqadron of
sixteen big fighting craft around the
Horn has the deepest significance.
Peace, not war, is the aim of this move
ment, and the government believes that
this mighty show of force in Pacific
waters will prove the surest cure for
Japanese jingoism. Admiral Evans is
to command This fleet, which is con-
sidered sufficient to crush anything that
Japan can bring against it, and the
President is said to hope that Japan
will take this quiet show of force as q
straight forward and positive hint that
while this country does not care for
war, it is prepared to contest to the last
its right to have control Of the Pacific
and protect its insnlar possessions
there, There is every evidence that
congress, when it conyenes in Decem
Der, will be called upon to make large
appropriations to increase the naval
facilities on the Pacific coast and in the
philippines and Hawaii. One of the
most pretentious plans under consider
alton is the establishment of q navy
yard at San Diego, Calf, which is con-
sidered the most strategic point for
commanding tfie western end Of the
Panama Canal. In addition, the Navy
Department contemplates the construc
ton Of one OF the greatest naval sta
lions in the world at Olongado, har-
Dor just north of Manila. The floating
dry dock Dewey is stationed there but
it is not sufficient, large as it is, to care
for such a powerful squadron, as that
to be sent into Pacific waters There
is ali cmlnous silence in Toxic, and the
Japanese authorities are said to believe
that this great fleet would fall an easy
prey to torpedo boats and destroyers.
This belief is based oil the fact that
the United States possesses practical.
ly no adequate naval bases in the Paci-
tic to care for such a squadron, while

UTILIZING THE RIVER
Commelce on the Missouri River
Should be Restored.

Twenty. five years ago hundreds of
boats bore thousands of tons of freight
and passengers on the bosom of the
Missouri. Twenty years ago the last
barge line failed and went into bank
ruptcy. 1t would be idle and useless to
analyze the causes of decay of commerce
on the Missouri and other water ways.
1t is sufficient to say that few if any Of
those causes exist now, while several
new conditions obtain which ought to
assure the success of the present move
ment. For one thing, the river is re-
ported to be in better shape for naviga-
ton than ever before, with fewer snags
and a deep channel, secured out by
floods. The aid OF the federal govern
ment is assured to widen and deepen
the channel and render navigation al
most absolutely safe in future This
governmental aid will in all probability
assume immense proportions, leading to
the improvement of the river on COM
plete, comprehensive scale as soon as
the inland water ways commission, re-
Gently appointed by President Roose;
velt, develops its plans.
There can be no question of the fact
that the utilization of the inland water
ways Of the country to relieve the rail
roads of their tremendous burden Of
congested tlattic will be pushed to the
utmost as settled policy of the federal
administration. 1t will become not a
matter of political favor or congress
sionai log rolling, as in the past, but an
absolute necessity in order that the
transportation facilities of the country
shall keep pace with it's marvellous
growth. There is little room to doubt
the fullillment OF one of the commits
sion's recent predictions that msn now
alive will see the day when ocean-going
vessels will unload their cargoes at
Sioux City, and that freight and passen.
gers will be carried to up river
points by smaller boats, and that their
way will be made safe and easy by walls
Of masonry combining the waters of the
great Missouri river wholly within its
banks wherever necessary to insure a
deep and permanent channel. The re-
cent Improvements in the manufacture
OF cement and the certain development
OF that material rs leading factor in
the worlds industries may furnish an
easy and speedy solution OF the prob
lens of Harvesting the annual spring
floods Of these rivers and making them
to do the work Of securing out deep
channel.
Above all, it is practically certain
that modern business methods viii be
applied to the water ways traffic in flu
ture, thus placing it on an equal foot
ing with the railroads in originating
and managing large volume of bust
ness. Pierre may at an early date be
come water city and, according to all
the lessons of history, that means a
great city.
