SAY RIVER WAS HIGHER

Judge Oliver and Joe Watts held a
convention yesterday morning and
solemnly resolved that Snake river
was higher in Is than il has been
this year They solemnly aver that
they got into a boat just above where
the wagon bridge now is. rOwed across
to where the pile of gravel is across
the river. then up the river through
the willows. and cross the river 10
the cabins in the old Burke field north
of town. They place the high water
stage al about two feet above what Il
now is.
In those days there we're no dams
to hold back the water, o canals 10
carry il out on the land. All the vat
er that came from the hills flowed
unchecked into the river. and down il

There are none here with memories
long enough 70 question the state
ment made by these early day pioneers
that the water has been higher. There
is a faint suspicion. however. that the
date given by them is wrong. Il
might have been in Noah's time. Judge
Oliver. it is easily b~elievable, vas here
then. and Mr.. Watts may have been
But what is a little thing like dates
The important fact is that the river
has been higher than it now is. which
means that there was quite a lake OF
the bottoms above town in those gooc
old days.

American Falls Wednesday attending

ranch is about two miles west Of the

the prospects for a fine wheat yield

this rancher had the misfortune 10
be visited by a destructive hail storm
and the yield Of his fields was reduced
far below the normal. and he earnestly
hopes that the precipitation Of mois-

not come to his farm this year. II is
a habit with the Crystal farmers to be
always cheerful and hopeful and Mr..
Dennison is no exception TO this rule.

he is a caller worth while having, too.
Mr.. Birdsall is in the service OF the

on this trip he had been as far as
Fairfield, over in Camas county, and
that in every place where he had stop

truth is attested by the splendid crop

to supply a running stream Of water.
The canyon is we'll provided with Wild

The holdings of Mr.. Davis are al an
altitude of around 5000 feet. but each
year the garden planted by Mrs. Davis
gives good yields. Last year Mrs.

James Hearne this spring seeded
300 acres to Bluestem on his ranch
five miles east of town and the fields
present a very promising stand OF
grain. The ranch has been getting
some fine showers at the precise mo-
ment when needed. Mr.. learn ng-
ures that if he gets a yield of only ten
bushels per acre he will derive a pro-
~ from his labors and investment
owing to the present prices OF wheat.
However. he does not mean TO say that
he will be in any way dismayed II the
acre average exceeds the figure men
toned. He is justified in putting his
expectations of the yield at a consid-
erably higher figure.

F. c. Reiger of Crystal was in An
erican Falls Tuesday and stated that
the prospects for a tine wheat yield Up
his way are excellent. The soil IN
the Crystal country is a fertile black
mountain loan and if favored with a
normal rainfall will produce wheat
Yields second 10 no other dry farm
section Of the county. This spring
and summer Crystal has been favored
with plenty Of showers and the farm
ers are more than pleased with the
outlook. Last year Mr.. Reiger har-
vested an acre average OF somewhat
more than % bushels from a field of
Bluestem. and this spring this field
was again seeded 10 the same variety
of spring wheat and it is promising
an even better yield. Mr.. Reiger has
been farming near Crystal several
years and is entirely satisfied with the
results achieved by his labors. While
in American Falls he drove across the
Snake to get a view Of the falls. The
old stream is rolling rather high just
now and its waters are not exactly OF
a crystal clearness. but that was not
so great a disappointment after all;
for. as Mr.. Reiger said, it is not every
day that a chocolate-colored waterfall
is presented 10 view.

VACCINATION
Law IN COURT
Robert c. McAllen of Park
River Opposes Compul-
sorry Vaccination:

Park River, N. D.. March Am
application for writ Of mandamus has
been made to Judge w. ]. Kneeshaw
Of the district court. by Robert C.
McAllen, against the Park River
board of education, with the view Of
testing the legality Of the vaccination
law introduced by the state board of
health.
Attorney G. w. Young. of Park Riv-
err. appears for the petitioner. Mr..
McAllen. who charges the board Of
education of District No. IS. Walsh
county, with general malfeasance.
The case grew out Of the refusal Of
admittance to school Of Russell Meal
len. the 1~1-year-old son Of Robert c.
McAllen. because of his having no
certificate Of vaccination.
A ruling of the state board OF
health in this regard reads:
mo child shall be permitted to en-
ter any school in the state until salts
factory evidence of vaccination has
been given to the proper authorities
Sec. 425 Of the compiled laws Of
1913. state of North Dakota. reads:
Every parent o. guardian having

the care or custody or control of any
minor or other person shall cause
such minor or other person to be vac
cinated." A..
A ruling adopted August, 1917, is to
the effect that all children must .be
v%accinated before being permitted to
rectors and teachers to enforce this
regulation.
1t is charged that Russell McAllen.
between Sept. "a and Sept. 20, 1917,
presented himself for admission to
school at three different times. but
was not admitted because of the lack
of a proper certificate.
The case will be of special interest
as much controversy has arisen re-
garding the legality Of the VAGINA

State Defense Board Will

Bismarck, N. D., March April
6. first anniversary OF Americas en-
try into the war, will be observed as

Announcement to this effect was

The plan has been suggested by
William Mathew Lewis. executive Sec
rotary of the national committee of
patriotic societies. A statement sent
today to the presidents of fifty ma
tional patriotic societies, to cabinet
officials and other government Off
Gals, says: !. ~
"At the beginning OF. our second
year in, the great war it is fitting that
we have a national conservation to
the task remaining before us. Be-
cause OF numerous worthless days dur
ing the, past winter it Is. not advisable
that the occasion should be made a
holiday, but in every factory, store,
mine: school and on every farm there
day when everyone who is loyal to the
flag should stand up and be counted.
Flags should everywhere be upfurled.
At ~ O'clock noon, factory whistles
and church bells should send forth a
volume Of sound that will reach Ber-
lin. Every band in the country will
then play The Star Spangled Ban
ner,' while the people stand at atten-
ton. In the evening, in the churches,
halls and theaters the people can
gather. for meetings OF inspiration.
Regiments of the national army may
parade in cities near the environments.
The winter. Of our discomfort, with
its coalless< days and congested rail-
roads, and other: minor annoyances is
past. The spring, with its promise Of
abundant crops and increased indus
trial production is. here. Now is the
time for Americas home army to mo-
Billie and thus bring courage to our
boys in the trenches and cantonments
and depression to our enemies. Let
Germany feel that this. is a. popular
war in America. The effect Of having
the nation a unit in patriotic thought
on this day cannot be ove r-estimated.
1t will. bring renewed courage and
hope to our brave allies.
