Congress at Wichita

Wichita. Kansas-
Editor Ordwsy New Era:
When I came to the International
Dry Farming congress and Soil Pro
ducts exposition ut Wichita, in Octo-
Der, hoped to have sent you before
this time story Of the happenings
therest. but many things have con.
spired to prevent.
Mrs. z. T0lman East, who bad
charge OF the Colorado state exhibit,
assembled BY the publicity Bureau
OF the Denver chamber OF commerce. u
did not arrive until several days after
the opening date, which delayed the
installation Of the displays, which, on
her arrival was set up by A. J. Cole,
of Denver. who represented the "Fa-
nous Water Elevation" and the
writer.
Owing to delay and the limited
space assigned u Colorado, the Phil
lips county exhibit, under the man
aRement of A. N. Axelson, of Hax-
tum, aud the Hasweil exhibit under
the management of e. e. Kercheval,
and Mrs. H. B. May, could not be as
sembled under the Colorado state
banner and we're displayed separately,
In different parts Of the exposition
building.
While the Colorado display received
second prize for state exhibit 1.-THE

prizes for apples. II is the confident
opinion Of your correspondent, that II
the various products of the state had
been properly organized aud displayed
under one banner, Colorado would
have taken nrst prize for state ex.
hiblt. II was matter of much COM
ment that no potatoes we're displayed
under the Colorado banner, except
those contained in the private exhib-

matter, the "WichIta Beacon. under

EVANS FARMER
 RECALLS MASSACRE

EVANS, Ind, July 10.-Thirty- eight years ago General George A. Custer and 500 of his heroic com mand were slaughtered by ten times their number of Sioux Indians un- der the terrible Sitting Bull. The event was recalled here recently by George H. Welch, 69, formerly an In dian fighter, now farmer living two miles west of Evans.
 Under Captain T. B. Weir, we were ordered to the rear by Custer, said Welch. There were three com mands out to round up Sitting Bull, who had led his braves off their res ervation and was causing trouble Custer miscalculated and was tricked into an ambuscade that left him sur rounded by 5000 bloodthirsty Indians The terrible thing was that we could see the plight of Custer and his band, but could not even help him After the massacre we held Sitting Bull on the banks of the Little Big Horn until endorsements came from Fort Lincoln. Because the Indians held Custer in such reverence they called him Big White Chief-Custel was the only member of the band who was slain that day who was not scalped or otherwise mutilated."
 One man who participated in the battle with Custer alone survives ,H He is Curley the Crow, one of Gus ter's scouts.

LOSE ONE SPAN
 0F MzfNA BRIDGE.
Hioh Water Caused By Recent Warm 'speIi Takes out One Span :,
 Edaerton Leaves for Scene.

Word was received late yesterday afternoon from R. s. Giddings, the engineer of the Alaska road commis- sion who is in the Nizina country to locate and construct a trail to the new bridge across the Nizina river, that the recent high water had wash ed out the big center pier and that two 15O-foot spans of the government bridge had been carried away.
 The bridge was the best and most substantial ever built in Alaska by the road commission and was ex- pected to hold, but the Nizina, which is said to be the most treacherous river in Alaska and is fed from a dozen large glaciers at the head of the Nizina, Chittistone, Dan Creek, Chittitu, Young Creek and many oth- CT streams and at times is excep- tionally high, carried it away. A terrific rush of water bringing down driftwood and trees from the upper river swept the pier out and the two spans were lost last week.
 The report says that the water is still high and that several other piers may go.
 Lieut.. Edgerton left this morning for the Nizina and will take charge of the work of saving the remainder of the bridge and also plan for the rebuilding of the span next winter, as no work can be done during the summer on account of the high wa ter.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Ex-Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt will De forced to run for governor of New York at the coming primaries ac- cording to the report issued today by the Progressive leaders, who have been trying to induce the colonel to head the Moose" ticket, fearing that unless he does the party in this state and in the nation will be down and out.
 The inroads being made in the ranks of the party by District Attor- ney Whitman, who will head the ticket for the Republican party at the coming primaries, will discour- age the voters this fall at the cleo tion and that all of them will return to the Republican party in order to defeat Tammany.
