INSPECTION TOUR PLANNED.
Waterways Convention Already
Bearing Fruit.

SlapN City Journal: The Missouri
River Navigation congress has already
commenced to bear fruit. For the pur
pose OF getting the members Of the
house committee on rivers and harbors
interested in improving the big river an
official inspection trip will probably be
made down the river early the coming
spring
Before leaving Washington to attend
the Sioux City convention Representa-
tive E. c. Ellis secured a promise from
members of the committee to make a
trip, which is calculated to give the
committee clear reception OF. tile Coil-s
dltions OH the river so that when the
rivers and harbors appropriation bill is
made up by the committee at the next
session of congress the river will be
generously treated In the meantime
Capt. l.. H. Schalz, engineer in charge
OF the river, will have finished the re-
port OF his survey of the river ordered
in the last appropriation bin and sub
mitted the other information asked for.
Then there will be nothing left to do
but start the work.
River boosters believe the first appro
priaton will be more than $lOO,OOO,O0O
because it will require some time to as
sembIe the plant to do the work and
more money than that could not profit
ably be expended the first year.
Gov. John Burke, who was a con-
spicuous figure at the Sioux City CON
yentlon, has arranged to have a river
improvement meeting III Bismarck, n
d. next month, and both Congressman
Ellis and Lawrence M. Jones Of Kansas
City, have agreed to be present. The
meeting will be for the purpose of stir
ring up more enthusiasm for river i'm
provement in the Dakotas.

indorsed the governments plan of be-
ginning the improvement at the mouth

Blames Mars for Grip.

lnterpolated in his predictions for
February, published here saturday,
Weather Prophet John G. Busby, of
Independence, Iowa, advances theory
to explain the presence OF the grip
germ, which has the merit of novelty
at least. He says the native habitat
OF the grip germ in the planet Mars,
which is now very near to the earth
and the germs have leaped through the
intervening space He agrees with
some other great scientists that Mars is
peopled by human beings like ourselves
who, he would infer, have suffered re :
current attacks of the prevailing NAL
ady for years,
MI. Busby draws a gloomy picture
for February, but one which will cheer
the iceman's heart. He says the posi-
ton of the planets is such as to foretel
much cold and stormy weather If
high winds and low temperature are
experienced ne says we may lay it on
the planet Jupiter.
Mr., Busby is the man to whom was
imputed the movement last summer to
form u weather prophets organization
to regulate the price of sunny days.

Indians to Protest.

The general council of Indians upon
the Cheyenne River reservation which
has just closed a session took a position
against the Gamble bill. which provides
for an opening of portion Of that re-
seryation, and instructed the officers of
the council to write the Indian Rights
association to oppose the move. They
present several reasons against the
opening, the principal one being that
the tract proposed to be opened con
tains valuable minerals, and before any
action should be taken these lands
should bs examined by experts and
their true values placed upon them.
They further object because their con
sent has not been asked, and that for

out in full. They fixed the lease value

his veto OF the tWo-cent rate bill passed
by the New Y ork legislature 1t VIII
be remembered that he refused to ap
prove that measure because he had al

to establish public utilities COM
mission to fix such rates.
The supreme court OF PENNSYLVANIA
has declared unconstitutional the two
cent rate law passed in that state, a
commonwealth approximating III den
sity OF population New Y ork state. II
that decision was an equitable one.
then there is small chance for the two
cent laws Of any Of the less thickly
settled states III the west 1t should be
remembered that the two cent rate law
OF no state has yet been finally approx
ed by the Judiciary.
Reports from New York state that

action III view. If reduction in pas
senger rates should be ordered by that
body, it will have more weight with a

an investigation, a temporary two
cent rate would not compensate for its
aboIishment because established with

In South Dakota the state railway
! commission was asked to fix lower

night of February Ia memorial services
concentrating the deaths of the men
who went down with the battleship
Maine ten years ago in the harbor of

Washington and make the principal
address at the meeting, and it is pro-

the capital will probably be the largest,
it is more than likely that similar
memorial services will be held in other
large cities, under the auspices of
