AIaska's Great River.

The Yukon river in Alaska is one of the great rivers of the North American continent. Probably few people have an adequate conception of the size of this river and characteristics of its flow. A. H. Brooks of the geological survey gives the Yukon fifth place among the large rivers in North Amer ica and estimates Its drainage urea mt about 33o,O00 square miles. It's length, including the Lewes and Teslin rivers, is 3,2o0 miles. This may be compared with 5000 miles for the Mississippi and Missouri, 2,s6s for the Mackenzie. 2,O00 for the Colorado combined with the Green river and 1900 for the Ohio combined with the Allegheny.

BRYAN ANSWERED
BY mrs. DODGE

Washington, July 2S.-That William
Jennings Bryan has proved himself a
poor politician and has failed to inter-
pref correctly the sentiment in his
home state by coming out in favor of
votes for women, Is the analysis of
the s~ecretary's action made by Mrs.
Arthur M. Dodge, president of the
National Association Opposed to WON
an Suffrage, in a statement given out
here last night from the Washington
headquarters of the Ants.
Possibly Mr.. Bryan might have
waited a little longer before putting
out his fluent and fervid proclamation
in favor of women suffrage If he had
realized that in addition to a strong

an Suffrage in his native state of
Nebraska, there has been formed a

organization.

who drove home at a rapid rate when
the storm came UP. They had partly
removed the harness and were stand
ing back of the team and about to re-
enter the stall, when lightning, fol-
lowing a terrific peal OF thunder,
struck the roof of the barn. tore a hole
through it and into the stable. telling
the horses dead in their stall.
The two young men were stunned
for an instant, but received no serious
injuries.
In Other Places.
The storm was severe in that local
ity and lightning struck in two places
on the farm of C. w. Bateman, killing
a ~3-year-old colt in the pasture and
striking an outbuilding on a neigh
boring farm. Considerable grain was
badly lodged M the country given a
thorough drenching.
Hail Reports.
Reports from Devils Lake Indicate
that a strip Of country q mile and q
half in Ramsey county was visited by
hail Tuesday and the crop nearly
ruined. A large number of farmers
lost heavily by the storm.
Out near Marvel the storm was
heavy, but there was no hail. Much
of the grain Is down, especially oats
n heavy wheat, according to parties
who were in yesterday.
Parties, who have been in Mountrail
county and the western part of the
state and who returned last evening,
state that while there was a heavy
rain in sections, there was no hail and
that the crop prospects are exception
ally good. A sufficient amount of mois-
ture has fallen to insure a bumper
crop and farmers and business men
are feeling optimistic as a conse-
quence.
The territory north Of the Berthold
reservation never looked better, ac-
cording to n well posted man, and
land values are stiffening up in con-
sequence. Many of the farms which
have not, been titled regularly because
of lack Of moisture will be plowed this
fall and made ready for crop in the
spring.

there Is no. argument against woman
