HIGH WATER At ANTHONY DESTROYS
TELEPHONE AND RAILWAY SERVICE

Anthony and the river were doomed to
be made broad sand bars, the current
SUDDENLY turned across the and IN
few hours time the curves at the ends
of the s were comparatively lakes and
the danger seems to be averted The
current of the river during the heaviest
cutting turned and ran back on itself
in a northeasterly direction for nearly
if not quite one-half a mile. When
the : was cut in two the water lmme-
diately fell for mile or more up the
river at least a foot and all those VINO
saw il there rejOiced that the hoped
for fall in the water was really here.
Further than the damages mentioned
all of the bridges crossing the river
are in a very dangerous condition The
Mesquite bridge is short two spans, the
Anthony ChamberinO bridge IS badly
out Of line from the force of the cur
rent concentrating on one Of the piers
and sinking it, besides a heavy
current is setting in slightly above
and on the west side that threatens to
wash the approach away on that side.
In addition. the bridge at CanutlllO IS
unsafe, two piers having given away
and the approaches of the Courcnesne
bridge are entirely ou-
ChamberiEO Bridge Threatened.
Should the ChamberinO bridge go. as
seems more than probable. the entire
west side of the valley viii be isolated
and a repetition Of last years troubles
as to the marketing of the crops is IN
overcome the river a short distance
south of VadO where there IS a very
short and abrupt bend that throws the
current against the roadbed. By siren
uOus efforts on the part of large
force Of men aided by a work train,
the cutting has been checked though
for a time. when the balance Of the line
was out of commission and there was
a shortage Of men and rock for rip
rapping, it seemed as though the en-
tire BerinO country would be over
flowed and the ditch system as well
as the railroad would be out of COM
mission for an indefinite period
The force OF men worked day and
night and were so utterly exhausted
that they were forced to divide into
two squads that one might work while
the other rested Just above NadO. in
the heavy grove Of trees on the west
side OF the track. a very heavy bend
has cut in nearly to the rOadbed and
the water is seriously threatening the
track. and viii likely reach it this
week unless the current suddenly
changes. The only damage so far at
that place is the overlooking and the
consequent hasty moving of colonel
Eli NeWsOm. the sage of Earlham. to a
high dry spot on the east side of VadO.
In fact the Rio Grande seems to
have come back and is again the
Rio Bravo of the North that the Span
iards knew and feared in the days
long gone by.

first he pays no attention, but finally
is persuaded that she does love him,
and they both protest their affection
in stiff and angular movements, look
ing as much like early Egyptian pic
lures as possible They are dancing
now, face to face, and one of the pic
lures shows them with one knee up
lifted, looking good deal like StOrkss
and laughing into each others face At
the end of the dance a third person
can be introduced, either the girls
mother, who drass the daughter away,
a rich Suitor with a bag Of money IN
his hand. which he jingles, and which
she follows off the stage, or a police
man, who leads the faSir off by the
ear.
Dance All the Time.
Now during no time do they stop
dancing Any good two-step music
viii do, but the best is that which has
a decided break or stop at every
eighth or sixteenth bar. At each OF
these stops the dancers wait in one
Of the poses until the music begins
again. The dance is made up of short
steps or hops and all motions are very
jerky and little awkward; in fact
the fakirs ought TO look as If they
were mariOnettes being pulled by
trained to gracefulness.
Some of the poses, OF course. are
sinuOus, especially the girls poses, but
the dance is essentially grOtesque, and
is a take-off on all the hishfalUtin'
fancy dancing of which we have seen
so much. The steps can be faxed, and
the sentiment must be faxed, but not
for one moment should one lose the
jolly spirit of comedy.
IL you have seen the short quick
steps which the Chinese use in dane
ing. or at least steps that we think
are Chinese why then you knew just
how the fakir's dancing step is done.
The main thing-is never to stop; have
your story plainly in your mind, know
exactly how many bars of the music
you are going TO use to express each
action; in fact, think il out carefully
Everybody can dance the dance. only
don't stop; keep righ on jumping
That's the main thing.

AN ANTI.CLNfAx.

The trial Of the group Of me on
dynamite charges at Indianapolis in
wolves a sore Of anti-climax. The
specific charge against the men. and
on which they are being tried. is that
of carrying. " completely in carrying
dynamite on passenger trains contrary
to the provisions Of the federal laws.
Such an act is improper and illegal,
and is and ought to be a criminal Of
fonse, because the practice involves
grave risk to human life. But the
real offense Of which these men are
guilty. if they IRE guilty at all. is
something graver and more important.
If these men arc guilty Of the charge
laid against them. they are guilty OF
deliberate and systematic plotting to
destroy property n kill human be-
ings. The man who packs a suitcase
full of dynamite and carries it in a
passenger train in order to a car
rying charges IN explosives with
which he wants to blow out stumps is
guilty of the same offense With which
the indianapolis defendants are
charged in the cases on trial. He is
guilty. Of course, and he should be
punished because his recklessness
risks the lives of other People. But
Is there n comparison between the
guilt Of this mar and that of the In
dianapolis defendants. II the latter
are guilty at all? Obviously not. If
the present defendants are found gull
~ they will, be convicted Of and pun
ashed for what is, after all. but a mi
nor offense, in comparison with the
real dastardly crime which was the
essence of the offense. AS to their
guilt or innocence, The Times is o
trying the case nor pronouncing judg-
ment. One thing, however, is certain
namely that the men responsible for
the dynamiting are all in prison is
utter bosh. Three or four men do not
plan and carry on such an elaborate
campaign Of .nefarious crime as that
in which McManigal and the McEa-
maras We're engaged without the

BEEF PRODUCTION.

Whatever other causes contribute
to the shortage in the supply Of beef
there is n which stands out promi-
nent. This is the disappearance Of the
great free ranges Of the west. The
great ranches are broken up. and the
small farmer who has settled on the
land is not in the cattle business.
There is from this cause a very i'm
portant shrinkage in the supply of
cattle. If the supply is to be kept
equal to the demand something must
he done to supply this loss, for it is
a permanent one.N Naturally the farm
err rather than the ranchman must
supply the cattle. The method Of
operation will be entirely different, as
will the character of the product, but
the farmer is the man to do the bust
ness.
In discussing the solution Of the
beef supply problem Professor ]. W.
Kennedy, Of the Iowa State college,
offers some valuable suggestions to
the farmers of his own state. These
suggestions, with proper allowance for
local differences. apply equally to the
farmer Of North Dakota. Professor
Kennedy says in part:
Beef production 10 the all-impor-
tant question Of the day. Iowa needs
on an average 1000 beef producers
in each county. Each man to market
about eighteen or twenty 1%.o0o-pound
to 1.200-pound fat animals each year
at $s5 to 800 per head. making a
grand total of from s175. 100000 to
$1,000 0 900 worth of beef each year.
This would leave 100000 farmers for
the dairy business. 1t would mean the
marketing Of our crops in the form of
meat and dairy products and would
prove a wonderful aid in the conser-
walton Of the fertility of our soil. II
would mean on or more silos on each
farm. thus the utilization Of our corr
stalks. We would then be on q par
with the good farmers Of England and
Scotland and our land would be pay
ing dividends OF from a $500 to a
$500 per acre valuation.

growing and finishing Of our own cat
