early thaws come, sending down great
volumes of water from the small
tributary streams, and the mountains,
serious gorges will form, backing
up the water and flooding lowlands.
Anticipating serious floods in the
valley of the Missouri and it's tributar-
les this spring. the Northern Pacific

H. Lantry of the Yellowstone division.
Now that the storm period is over
and the fact that the level is heavy
with snow and there have been no
thaws, believe there is a serious con-
dition of affairs confronting u.s." said

it follows:
History will, some future day,
pass the verdict who is guilty of hav-
ing caused the war; she will call be-
fore her tribunal all the guilty ones
and their number is great. Besides and
after those who bear the immediate
responsibility of it, she will declare
guilty jurists with their sophisms,
with their materialism,
teachers of great national economy
and merchants who have adored
wealth and despised moral principles,
the pioneers Of Imperialism and the
theorists who claimed that certain
nations are superior to others. These
will all be guilty OF having caused the
war. ..
'The people as such, at least gener-
ally. will receive a mild judgment;
they all gave everything, sacrificed
everything, and they were all under
the impression that they were fighting
for their liberty and their existence"
