A Famous War Horse.

From an entry in Lady Shelley's
Diaries" 1t appears that Copenhagen,
the famous war charger of the Duke
ut Wellington, had something of the
constitution Of his master. The day
before the battle Of Waterloo the duke
rode Copenhagen to the Prussian head
quarters to ascertain whether lie might
depend upon old Klucher's cooperation.
The duke rode Copenhagen on June II
over sixty miles. On the 18th he rode
Copenhagen throughout the entire bat
tie. and the next day he rode him to
Brussels. When the duke dismounted
Copenhagen kicked up his heels and
scampereh half over the town before
he WAS caught"
One day in Paris Lady Shelley rode
with the duke. who offered to mount
her on Copenhagen. But" she con-
fesses. II found Copenhagen the most
difficult horse to sit of any had ever
ridden. IT the duke had not been there
should have been frightened
81 believe he said, you think the
glory greater than the pleasure in rid
ing him.

The California legislature has
passed the alien land bill against
the protest Of Secretary Bryan,
but Governor johnson has con-
scented to withhold his approval
until President Wilson can be
heard. Just why so much fuss
has been made over this bill is
hard to determine, as other states
have a similar law and nothing
has ever been said about it being
a disregard of treaty rights. 1t
seems that Japan is trying hard
to find something to kick about
or even worse to fight over. 1t
may be, also, that Uncle Sam is
frightened. 1t is hoped not.

The last legislature created a
number Of additional offices and
several commissions, all OF which
had pretty fair salary attach
ments. Some of them will be OF
value no doubt but the taxpayers
will feel the burden just the same.
This was done in the face OF
knowledge that the anticipated
revenue for the next two years
was less than the estimated cur
rent expense without any extra
offices to be provided for. The
statement was made that neces-
sity warranted the creation OF the
offices and commissions and that
some means must be provided to
pay the men who would be APP
pointed to fill them. 1t has oc-
Cured to some that while Great
ing offices one very essential one
was overlooked-a state fiscal
agent to reside in Washington to
look after Montana matters be-
fore the several departments and
be the agent of every citizen of
the state in such matters as are
referred to him. The senators
and representatives of Montana
are burdened with duties in the
senate and house and have little
time or opportunity to attend to
matters for their constituents be-
fore the departments. Many
times these important things
must be left to their secretaries,
and they are often unable to Sc
cure such a hearing from the
heads of departments or bureaus
as a man clothed with some more
important official title. An ordi-
nary clerk or secretary is a very
small potatoe in Washington
where so many others have a bet
ter and bigger pull and can Sc
cure favors by reason of their
positions. This fiscal agent could
relieve the senators and congress-
men of just such things as the
Flathead reservation people are
now endeavoring to have done,
and which our representatives in
congress do not have the time to
attend to. Then, it would not be
necessary to send delegations to
Washington to try and get what
our representatives are unable to
get through lack Of time. 1t is
not to the detriment of a senator
or congressman that he is unable
to get things done when it is con-
sidered how much there is for
him to do. A fiscal agent would
not have his time taken up with |
committee meetings, attending
sessions of the senate or house,
but he could give all his time to
departmental affairs. No one
knows the necessity of such an
officer better than the people who
nave had matters held up in the
departments for indefinite peri
IDS. No one knows of the delays
which occur better than the peo-
Die of the Flathead who have
been clamoring for relief now for
nearly three years. No doubt

troubles and they will continue

DREDGING MISSISSIPPI
TO HIGH DAM ORDERED
War Department Approves Plan for
Six-FOOt Channel Up to

Washington.-Th war department
has approved the plan of dredging the
Mississippi between the Omaha
bridge and the high dam. The ac-
tion was taken when an order was
issued extending the limit of the
Rock Iisland division of the engi-
neering service up to the dam.
1t is probable that work will be
begun in the spring when navigation
is open. The order includes the
making of six-foot channel in the
river, from the mouth of the Missouri
up to Minneapolis.
The approval of this order by the
secretary of war obviates the neces-
sity for any special legislation. which
it was thought by friends of the pro-
ject here in congress. would be ne
cessary. The work is to be under
taken by the engineering office at
