OLD TIMER CAME BACK

Capital journal: Henry Waller is

part of South Dakota. although he now
makes his hoaie at Grand Junction,
Col. In 1864, Mr.. Waller was station
ed as a soldier at old Fort Sully when it
was located about three miles east of
this city, or site now donated to the
city as park. He was in command of
General Sully. He left Fort Sully and
went to Leavenworth, Kan, and was
mustered out of the volunteer service
of the United States, but returned to
the fort that summer, and for several
years made mis- home on Farm Island
now the property of the city. Later,
he went to the mouth of American
| creek, where Chamberlain is now To-
Gated, and operated traders store for
several years and in 1912 went to Bis
| lnarck where he stayed until 1876, and
| then went to Colorado Mr.. Waller has
been visiting the city for several days,

MUDDIEsT OF RIVERS

The Missouri river is the muddiest
river in the Mississippi Valley; it
carries more silt than any other large
river IN the United States except pos
sibly the Rio Grande and the Color
ado. For every square mile of coun.
try drained it carries down stream
3Sl ton of dissolved and suspended
matter each year. In other words,
the river gathers annually from the
country that it drains more than 123,-
900, 900 tons ofsilt and soluble matter,
some of which it distributes over the
flood plains below to form productive
agricultural lands but most of which
finds it's way at last 10 the Gulf of
Mexico.
1t is by means of data of this kind
that geologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded
away. 1t has been shown that the
Missonri river is lowering the surface
of the land drained by Ii at the rate
of foot in e,036 years. The surface

A BRITISH VIEW OF WILSON

London Observer: The position of
President Wilson as the custodian of
his fellow citizens honor and of their
moral instinct has been more sharply
defined through the resignation of Mr..
Bryan. The majority of Englishmen
will be frankly unable to understand
the course followed by the ex. secretary
of state. They cannot discern in the
text of the presidents successive potes
any reason why his colleague should
have signed the one and rejected the
other. The documents appear identi-
cal in their substance and in their tone;
where the second acquires added signi-
ficance appears to be in the simple fact
of its iterations. Mr.. Bryan's defec-
tion is a timely reminder Of the various
unresolved elements of the situation
which the president has to handle, and
at the same time it has served to throw
into greater relief the deesiveness of
the presidents own Judgment. The
episode has given Il renewed demon
stration that DR. Wilson course is
not any passive resultant OF forces, but
is determined by clear grasp of land
marks and well weighed and ten
acious view of policy. The president
wrote his first note and carried his
cabinet along with him He wrote his
second, received the resignation of his
nearest colleague, and dispatched it all
the same. Neither America nor her
friends can have any further doubt
that the helm is in firm hand allied
with an uncouded brain and serene
resolution.

DROUGHT THREATENS EUROPE

Washington, June "a There is one
question that now is worrying Europe
quite as much as the war That is
the matter of crops and the prevent
ing drought in some sections.
Adolph Van Wagenheim, leader of
the agrarian party in the reichstag
in d recent speech in that body. stat
ed that the agricultural outlook in
that country was not promising be-
cause of the prevailing drought. a
crop shortage, ne believed, could be
overcome by Germany's superb or
ganization for economizing on food.
Recent dispatches from Bohemia
also mentioned that dry weather was
damaging the crops there and in
Hungary. France also has complain
ed of drought conditions.
1t is highly important that the bel
ligerent countries this year produce
the maximum of foodstuffs and ex-
traordinary efforts are being put
forth throughout Europe to increase
production as we'll as conserve the
reserve stocks of food and grain. A
crop failure would be particularly
distressing to the central powers, be-
cause all avenues Of Importation are
now blocked by thS entente allies.

HUERTA is CONSPIRING

Huron Huronite: On Saturday last,
it was reported that VictoFiane
Huerta was taking pleasure trip
westward over the Southern Pacific
railroad. his ticket carrying him as
far as El l'aso, a point on the boun-
dairy line between the United States
and Mexico.
Coincidentally a large number of
Huerta's former supporters were re-
ported moving northward through
Mexico, headed for Ell Paso. These
movements were of course not acci-
dental.
Huerta has spent several weeks in
New York, quietly attending to his
own business, which now appears to
have been also the business of
Mexico.
Reports from iII Paso say that the
plan is to organize an army along the
northern boundary of Mexico and
eliminate Villa and take charge of
his army and use it against the con-
stitutionalists. The army will then
be employed in the interest of the
Huerta regime, commanded by Off
GERS of the old army of Porfirno Dia2
and Victoriano Huerta.
This would introduce a new ele-
ment into Mexico factionalism
Huerta, who is we'll acquainted with
the instability of Mexican character
evidently believes that the Villa army
can be used for the new movement
which contemplates the establish,
mept of q regime with purposes op

THE CANADIAN THISTLE

I have noticed many comments that
the Canadian thistle is spreading in
the Gallatin Valley. This is a plant
that will do we'll under humid or ir-
rigated farm conditions and in the
cool northern climate. 1t is a peren-
NAL plant and propagates itself by
two mcthoos: First, by a creeping
root STALK which pushes it's way a.o:'g
under ;te ground a lev inches sends
up a leaf stalk to the surface. Thus
ven if the plant does not go to seed
OF years, the area infested with the
weed will gradually spread and form
a dense mat of thistles. The second
method is by seed. The seed is at
~ Ind to . downy CARR -, Dy which the
wind ..a.l e. it far ar,i wide over the
country.
The thistle has a deep root and in
moist ground it will penetrate several
feet after water, but it is not a hard
plant to control if handled properly.
Its roots being large and leshy it will
not stand thorough drying of the soil,
such as occurs during some years on
dry farms. On the irrigated farm,
though the land be not irrigated, yet
much of it in this valley is sub-irrigat-
ed, so the deep tap root of the thistle
would get a water supply.
A second point of attack for this
plant is that is must send its leaves to
