Colorado threatened today to become
the chief stumbling block to state har-
mony in the proposed Colorado river
reclamation project when its represen-
tatives at the Colorado River Commis-
sion hearings demanded Unrestricted
waterrights for irrigation.
Such information was received by Inn

Colorado nncorked sudden SURPRISE
information received here said, when
demands were made that waters Of the
Colorado river be diverted across the
Continental Divide to meet the needs
of Denver. and that Colorado be al
lowed unrestricted use of the water for
irrigation purposes.
Division Of States
This was interpreted as meaning that
a division Of the states involved in the
great project is inevitable, since other
states in the Colorado river basin will
not agree to unrestricted lights for
Colorado.
Witnesses pointed out that Colorado
has plenty of water for irrigation pur-
poses ON the western slope but desires
part OF this water for the irrigation OF
arid lands in eastern Colorado. Denver
also would be supplied from the Colo
RADIO river under the plan proposed by
Colorado representatives. Water tam-
nels would carry the water through The
divide from the river.
Representatives of Colorado state
were firm in their stand not To give up
right to unrestricted use of the waters.

state, were already bankrupt. Tread
we'll TWichell gave the same testimony
for Cass. From all over the state
comes the same report.
What does it mean? 1t means the
collapse of many business men. 1t
means closed banks and bankrupt
merchants. The paper they hold, rep
resenting value, is at present prices
of farm products, worthless or nearly
so. 1t means fall business dwindled
down to a trickle and creditors in

No wonder the governor called a
conference! No wonder he fled to
Washington, to beg for a little money
to bridge the chasm!
Was it the farmer he wanted to
save?
1t was! Just exactly as the farmer,
finding a valuable animal sick, rushes
to the veterinarian for help. The farm

involved in the death of that animal
and the politicians and business in

BUFFALO BURR IN N. D.

Numerous samples of Buffalo Burr,
a species of nightshade usually spok-
en- of as a kind of thistle, which are
being received lately for indentifica-
ton from various parts of North Da-
kota by the botany department, N.
D. Agricultural College, r not in
dicative of a new weed pest, accord
ing to O. A. Stevens, botanist at the
college, who states that although the
weed is a nuisance no considerable
trouble is to be expected from it in
North Dakota.
The plant grows about one to two
feet high, quite bushy, leaves much
divided, something like that of a to-
mato or watermelon, according to Mr..
Stevens. The flowers are yellow, about
one-half inch broad and have rounded
pods ore-half inch long containing
many black seeds of irregular shape.
The entire plant is covered thickly
with stout yellowish prickles one
fourth to one-half inch long.
This weed is native to the terri
tory between the Missouri River and
the Rocky Mountains from North Da-
kota south to Mexico" The fact that
the seeds have been repeatedly re-
ceived each year but that no marked
increase of the plant has been OBJ
served indicates that no considerable
trouble is to be expected from it in
North Dakota. Several specimens in
the college collection were collected in
different parts of the state in 1891.
The weed is decidedly a nuisance on
account of it's very prickly nature,
but in it's natural habit it is inclined
to grow more in waste ground than in
cultivated ground, and is common in
old pastures, barnyards, roadsides,
etc. The plant is al annual and can
be destroyed readily by preventing it
from going to seed. 1t is quite closely
related to the potato and is the orig
inal food plant Of the potato beetle.

WHAT STIRRED E

Mixed motives are at the bottom Of
the actions of men. In rare instances
is the action of any man the result of
a slngel incentive or Intent. We have
OF course men with what the French
call the "1dee fixe'-monomaniacs,
faddlsts, cranks, we label them-who
have but one motive for the main
spring of their life and actions. We
look upon them as a little mad, and
perhaps because they depart from the
normal mixture they may be so re-
garded.
The farmer of North Dakota may
have felt flattered that the governor
of the state should call his banking
and business and legal friends togeth-
er to see what could be done to save
some little portion of the money from
the bumper crop to the man who did
the work. 1t was an unusual bit Of
Difference and recognition that made
same farmers wag their heads and
say: There we said so! They have
to take notice of US and do something
to prevent the clothes being stolen off
our backs"
Well, they flattered themselves who
talked that way. The interest of the
farmer came behind two other inter
ests OF far more %impelling motive.
The first was the political motive.
If farmer went to an election in an
ugly mood, feeling they had been rob-
bed and skinned, without
the present administration felt that
the weight of the wrath would fall
upon it.
That, however, alone was insuffi-
eient to provoke such pyrotechnic ac-
tivity al has been INDUCED in. The
second motive is now coming into the
clear, 50 that all may see it.
It is the business motive-the mo-
tive which impigned upon the political
motive and made it active. If the bust
ness man felt himself slipping and
found the political Indifferent or slow
Of response, he, too, would approach
the polls with intent to punish.
Why should be feel disaffected?
In North Dakota, before the end of
this year, thousands of farmers will
have gone bankrupt. They will take
the famous Nelson cure" take the
exemptions allowed them by law and
turn over their worthless possessions
to the merchant or banker whom they
owe-and leave him holding what ID

MAKING A GOOD START

A man from the Great West was
elected to go to Congress and, when
he went to Washington, cherished the
idea of doing great things for his
constituency.
His first thought was that he ought
to write a great maiden speech, which
would be published in the Congress
sional globe.
One night, while down at the big
Union Station, he saw one of the
careful crossing campaign posters
flashed on the train announcer, which
so captivated his imagination that he
sat down and thought the matter out
right then and there.
The next day he dictated and sent
a circular letter to each voter in his
district. Here is the letter, word for
word:
"Boys and Girls of my District: |
haven't made my speech yet but, |
have something very important and
very personal to say to each n of
you.
"You all know Charlie D., whose
wife and four children were killed at
a railroad grade crossing in Bluffs
township. Charlie had the folks out
for a drive in his big motor car one
afternoon. They had gone several
miles along the county road that par
allels the "route." They were chatting
happily when he turned to the
railroad tracks, all Of them thought
less of danger.
Charlie failed to look or listen for
a train and drove onto the rails just
in time to receive the fearful impact
of the fast express. He was the only
one to escape alive, and I am not the
only one to whom he has stated the
fact, that no matter how long he
lives, he can never excuse himself for
the fatal thoughtlessness of that sum-
me- afternoon.
"Now it may be that some of you
will say, This is not what we sent
Bill to Congress for; we expected big
Ger things of him. r.. .. -
But believe me, boys and girls I
am actuated by high love for human
ity IN this thing / am writing you
