"BUFFALO CHIP" JIM WANTED
 TO BE LIKE BUFFALO BILL
@, Western Newspaper Union.

Plain Jim White was his name, but along the whole western frontier he was known as Buffalo Chip" Jim, name which he carried to his grave. He had been a boyhood friend of Buff falo Bill, and when Cody became an Indian scout, White also took up that occupation. For years he was Buff falo Blll's faithful follower-half- servant, half-"partner." He copied Buffalo Blll's dress, his speech and the way he walked He let his hair grow long in imitation of Cody. He was always at the famous scouts side, and took more care of Buffalo BilPs guns and horses than he did of his own.
 Two stories of how he got his name are told. One is this: General Sher- idan had arrived at Fort Wallace, Kan, and was seeking Buffalo Bill to guide him on a buffalo hunt. White appeared and told the general that Cody was away.
 But when Mir. Cody is away, Pm Buffalo Bill" declared White.
 "The h-l you are!' said Little Phil" with contempt. Buffalo chips, you mean!" And the general stamped away augrily.
 According to the other version of Whites christening, one night at Fort Laramie he claimed the right to be known by some other name than sim pie Jim White, something descriptive of his close friendship for Buffalo Bill.
 "All right" said Major Morton of the Ninth infantry, wen call you Buffalo Chips'T'
 White was with the Fifth cavalry when 1t attacked Chief American Horses camp at Slim Buttes, S. D., in the autumn of 1876. After the de feat of the Indians, the soldiers began hunting down little parties Of Sioux hidden in the sulches and ravineS near the edge of cliff. He had raised himself to his feet and was ready tO fire at a warrior down in the ravine when shot rang out.
 White sprang in the air, clutched his hands to his breast and with the startled cry of "Oh. my God, boys, they've got mel" he plunged forward down the slope, shot through the heart.
 "A simplerminded, gentler iron, tiersman never lived. lie was mod csty and courtesy itself, and he had three unusual traits for men of his class-he never drank; never heard him swear, and no man ever heard him lie" writes Gen. Charles King, who knew him we'll and who saw him Slim Buttes.

 All along the way. at intervals, music from brass band enliyened the occasion, and the afternoon was filled with oratorical eloquence, themed upon the progress that had made the event of the day possible. Excepting the completion of the panama Canal, connecting the Allan tic and Pacific, no other ditch dig ing project undertaken by the Ameri- can people as q whole or in part has required such engineering feats, such time and patience and such expenditures of money as has the enterprises known as "The Little River Drainage District and it's labyrinth of auxiliarieS which made possible this connecting highway. At the same time while this drain age progressed, brakes and yine- grown jungles disappeared and today this great rich territory is d new Eden of farms and homes Instead of misquitos, snakes and owls, there |are towns, churches and schools, where happy people abide ill pros perity.
 Twenty-Five years ago Louis IIouck built a pea vine' railroad across this swamp. People said it could not be done. and, if it was done the enterprise would fail for lack of support Time has answered both these questions. Louis Houch was on the speakers programme Tuesday. He has lived to see the fruition of his labors which, doubt less, go far beyond his most oplim- istic dreams. There were other speakers, too, and the events recount ed Tuesday will be read with in- terest and wonder when a hundred years shall intervene between now and then.
 This road is d part of the desig mated state highway to be rock sur faced at an early day Thus, link by link, is being opened a great north and south thoroughfare over which thousands will travel and view with wonder these rich, level lands, which were shown on the old map to be Negro Wool swamp" the home of the water fowl and Varmits strange and wild.

WARREN G. HARDING is
SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT
Ceremonies Are Simple, but Crowds
Cheer as He Takes Oath
on. Portico.

Washington, March 4.-The nation
halls it's new President and Vice Presi-
dent
Warren Gamaliel Harding of Ohio
was sworn in as the chief executive of
the United States at 1 :18 p. m. on the
east portico of the capitol. At II II
p. m. in the senate chambers CALVIN
Coolidge of Massachusetts took the
oath as Vice President.
Thousands gathered about the in
augural stand filled the air with cheers
before Chief Justice White admins
tered the oath to Mr.. Harding.
When the new President concluded
his inaugural address at 1:55 there
was another roar of applause as he
turned to receive the congratulations
of those on the inaugural stand. Vice
President Coolidge was the first to
shake hands with him.
AS the President and Mrs. Harding
started from the stand the marine
band played a stanZa Of America"
the crowd began to disperse, and the
inauguration was over.
The ceremonies surrounding the In
auguration of the new President were,
if anything, even more simple than
those attending the first inauguration
of George Washington. The usual
morning salute of naval guns was
missing and there was absolutely moth
ing in the way of military or civil
procession.
The only troops on hand were four
squadrons Of cavalry assigned by the
congressional inaugural committee as
an escort for the new President, 500
marines for guard duty ut the capitol
and as many regular army infantrymen
from Fort Myer for guard duty along
the streets.
President Wilson, yielding to the
last-minute entreaties of his family
and his physicians, took no part in the
inaugural ceremonies other than to &C.
company the incoming President from
the White House to the capitol, where
he signed some bills and then went
with Mrs. Wilson to the new home
which will be theirs in the residential
section of the city.

NEW PRESIDENT
To RUSH WORK
Holds Sunday Farley With
Leaders at White House.
TO CALL CONGRESS AT ONCE
Meeting Was First in Line With New
Executives Announced Policy to
Maintain a Closer Relation
ship With Congress.

Washington, March Failure of
the army and navy supply bills in
the last congress and the mass of
work confronting the new congress
probably will compel President Hard
ing to call the extra session for March
Ia instead Of April A, as planned.
This became known following a
conference between the President,
Senator Lodge and Representative
Mondell, Republican floor leaders.
The conference ended without dates
being fixed. Decision will be made@tO-
day, when Senator Lodge and Repre-
sentative Mondell return for second
conference
Senator Lodge said that several
dates were discussed. He presented a
request by Senator Underwood of Ala
bama that the session be deferred to
rest.
Harding Asks Speed.
President Harding, Senator Lodge
said, opposed postponing the call be-
yond April and expressed the wish
it be moved up week and possibly
two.
If this is done the senate will re-
main in continuous session. as leaders
agree it will not be able to conclude
its present business much before that
time.
The conference was the first in line
with the Presidents announced plan
to maintain a closer relationship with
congress.
The President, it was disclosed,
strongly urged ratification of the Coz
lombian treaty at the extra session
of the senate which convened Satur
day. Senator Lodge said the treaty
will be laid before the senate today.
The President, it was learned, also
told Senator Lodge that he is anxious
to have commercial treaties pending
with Latin American countries acted
upon Immediately. Senator Lodge
promised that this would be done and
the treaties taken up in the order of
the Presidents preference.
In executive session Saturday Sena-
tor Lodge introduced resolution re
ferring all treaties on the calendar to
the foreign relations committee, OF
which he is chairman. This will al
low him to bring them out promptly.
Treaty With France.
The tripartite treaty with France
is among these documents, Senator
Lodge said, though the Versailles pact
is in the archives of the State Depart
ment. The French treaty was not
taken up at the White House confer
ence, and it is extremely doubtful If
any attention will be given to it be-
fore the special session begins. the
senator said.
While the army and navy bills are
being redrafted in committee it is
intended to pass the budget bill and to
send it to the President, so that the
new system can be placed in opera
ton as soon after July as possible.
President Wilson vetoed the budget
measure as first passed because it
contained a provision for comptrol-
Ter removable by congress. The
house struck out the feature and sent
the bill to the senate, where it died.
Representative Good, chairman of
the budget committee, said that this
section will be reinserted, as Presi-
don't Ecr.1iuo does not object tO If
