principal address. In introducing
the general the governor said the
upper Missouri historical expedition
had come to this hallowed spot
which saw such activity in the early
days, for the purpose of perpetual
ing it's memory. A few minutes pre-
vious to the speaking a wind and
sand storm came up which contin-
ued through the day, filling up eyes
and ears of the thousands present
and covering them with a film of
dust that was most disagreeable. This
married, but did not alter the days
program.
Gen. Scott
General Scott after a fve-min-
utes' attempt to speak against the
wind and dirt, finally turned his
side to the huge crowd and directed
his remarks almost exclusively to
the members of the expedition and
the chieftains of the tribes who were
sitting on the covered platform. He
spoke IN d low tone ana IL is not
believed that more than a hundred
or two heard him. Responses to
General Scott's address were made
by Chief Mountain, chief for the
Blackfeet, Blood and Piegan In
dians; Chief White-Man-Runs-Him,
for the Crow Indians; Chief Head
Dress for the eros Ventres Indians;
Chief Blue Cloud for the Assinni-
boine and Sioux; Chief Kanick for
the Chippewas, and Chief Muskrat
for the Mandans, Arikaras and Hid
astas. The responses were inter
preted for the audience tho General
Scott understood them as delivered
in the aboriginal tongue.

WEED PROBLEM NEEDS
OUR CONSIDERATION

From the experience Of older
farming countries in the spring
wheat area, the seriousness of the
weed problem that is gradually
gaining foothold cannot be over-es-
timated. In addition to the wild
oats on which there is a campaign
Of control organized at the present
time, there are a number of other
weeds that are gradually gaining a
larger foothold every year. One of
the most serious of these is the
fanweed, sometimes known as the
French weed, and the perennial sow
thistle as well as the common u
tard. Unless a decided stand is
taken against these weeds they are
going to be continued profit de-
stroyers and will eventually cause
our land to decrease in value.

The most touching scene of the
day was the meeting of Gen
eral Scott and Chief Mountain, chief
of the Blackfeet Indians. The aged
chieftain who was a scout for the
general when the latter was with
the Ninth cavalry on duty in the
northwest, wore the dress uniform
of a major-general in the u. S. army
many years ago. The chief and
the general met each other in the
middle of the big circle of Indians
the general being accompanied by
Mrs Scott, his companion during
his Indian campaigns. The chief
was thanked on his right by his son
and on the left by a Blackfeet
brave who was carrying a large
American flag which waved glo-
riously around the chiefs back. The
two men clasped hands, then press
which General Scott took a few
steps back and their conversation
started in sign language.
Flag Raising
The most impressive sight of the
day was the flag raising ceremony.
This was in charge of a detail from
company E of the North Dakota ma
tional guard with Capt. E. w. jeff
rey in command. First the tri-color
of France was raised and lowered
while the Williston band played the
"Marseillaise." Next the Canadian
union jack was raised and lowered
while the band played "God Save
the King" Then up went the Stars
and Stripes while thousands cheer
ed with heads barred as the band
played the "Star Spangled Banner"
The three flags represented the
three nations which had successive
w held dominion over the land on
Fort Union stood.

The Tribes
In the tents Saturday were the
sons, grandsons and great-grand-
sons of the Mandans, Hidatsas, Ari-
karas, Chippewas, Sioux, Assinnabo-
ines, eros Ventres, Crows, Black
feet, Bloods and Piegans, who came
to barter with Kenneth Mckenzie
when he was the feudal overload of
the country from Fort Pierre to the
Rocky mountains. In a natural
amphitheatre, south of the Indian
village, was a covered platform, on
which was seated, during the cere-
monies, members of the Upper Mis-
souri, Historical expedition and the
chiefs of the principal Indian tribes
assembled. Nearby was a Mandan
Indian lodge, built of poles, boughs
and sod, a replica of huts generally
used in the Mandan villages in the
Dakotas a century Ago.. Also near
by was a tent occupied by the Mon
tana Historical society, under the
direction of David Hilger, in which
were displayed relics and
toes of the stirring fur trading DAYS.
Train of Private Cars
The special train of IA Pullman
and private cars arrived at Fort
Union at $50 Saturday morning
from Minot, N. D., where the his
torical expedition had attended a
banquet the night before given by
the association of commerce. Au-l
tomobiles were available, as soon as
the train had been placed on a side
track, to take the members to the
of Fort Union.
Many Indian representatives of
all tribes, some of whom were in fun
regalia and war paint. were already
formed in a circle in The little
amph1thsatre and were chanting

of these things are woman's right and
are necessary If a woman is anxious
to keep her youth and beauty. But
exercise is not the only thing that is
necessary for the woman who is de-
sirous of being attractive. She must
watch her diet and be careful not to
eat anything that will, in any way, be
%fattening.
There are certain dishes to which
Miss Van Gordon is partial and to
which she gives the credit for the re-
tention of her beauty. These dishes.
she prefers to prepare herself and.
when on tour with the Chicago Opera

Sweetwater Stampede
On July 18th and 5th
Best in Several Years

h Sweetwater Stampede held on
the rodeo grounds near the Tom Sun
ranch on July 4th and 5th was the
best that has been held in several
years. The events went off in rapid
order and the weather was all but
ideal for the show. A number of
visitors from the surrounding coun-
try attended the show and many resi-
dents from Casper motored to the
grounds and returned to their homes
on sunday evening. Fewer residents
from this city attended the rodeo than
there has been for several years and
II was indeed their misfortune for
the S~weetwater stampede was the
best in this section Of the state.
The buCking and roping was es-
pecially good, in fact these two events
~equalled if not surpassed the buck
ing and roping in the Cheyenne From
tier Days celebrations in years pass
ed. Several thrilling events kept the
crowd on its toes and made the spec
tators realize hat they were seeing
a rodeo which is seldom surpassed
in any of the big shows. Although
the residents of the river do not have
the trick riders and special events
that are put on at the Cheyenne and
Rawlins rodeos, their other events
make up for the special events.
Dances were held in the Sweet
water dance hall on Saturday and
Sunday evenings. Saturday nights
dance was very well ~patronized.

DIFFICULTY, WYO., JULY g.
The past week has beer a wet one
sure huff. Every day has been the
same-first it rained and then it
poured down. On Friday afternoon
this particular community was visit
ed by a regular c~loudburst, and as
a result bridges, fences, fumes and
other things were washed away. The
road between the Richards ranch and
Shirley Basin has been rendered i'm
passable, on account of bridges and
culverts being washed away, and
now the Basin people are compelled
to get out by way of the Beer Mug
ranch. Troublesome creek was rag
ing and did much damage, while Diff
ficulty was bank full and in some
places more. The bridge over Dry
creek between the Watkins II Beer
Mug ranches was taken away. Much
drift wood, sand and silt was wash
ed out onto the meadows in many
places, damaging the crop of hay to
some extent.
Mrs. II. j. Miles, who is in Ro-
chester, Mimi, in Mayo Brothers hos
pital, is recovering nicely from two
recent operations, and her many
friends in this community are greatly
pleased with this good news. Mrs.
Miles has been in Rochester, for
over a week, Mr.. Miles being there
with her.
Lawrence Sullivan is slowly i'm
proving from his recent serious in
jury, when his horse bucked and fell
with him. We made a mistake last
week when we asserted that DR.. Bar
Der had been called from Rawlins,
to assist DR.. Sell in Mr.. Sullivan's
case, as instead of DR.. Barber, it
was DR.. Kell who was called and
came to the Basin. Miss Gutherie,
a trained nurse from Denver is with
Mr.. Sullivan, and his many friends
are delighted to know that his con-
dition is improving. Mrs. Sullivan
who has been sick for several days
is also able to be up again, and we
all hope she will soon be entirely
well again.
John Ellis and Shorty Haldeman
had a narrow escape one day last
week, while driving a bronx to the
wagon. The horse had not acted
So very bad, and the boys had turn
ed bac toward home. When they
attempted to cross the plank bridge
over the deep draw just south of the
barn, the bronx became frightened,
and crowded the other horse off the
bridge. This of curse pulled the
bronx over too, and then down went
the wagon The gulch has perfectly
perpendicular banks. and Is about Is
or 20 feet deep, but fortunately only
carries flood waters, and there was
no water running in it at the time.
Shorty was holding the foot rope on
the horse. and when he saw the gen.
tie horse disappear over the edge,
he made a flying leap, and lit safely
on h bridge. A second later, John
felt the wagon start down on end,
and he threw the lines, and followed
Shorty's example. going thru the air
like a bird. and say he came darn
near jumping entirely owe the
bridge. and lighting In the draw on
the other side. which would have
beer rather disastrous, because the
bronx, his partner. the wagon n
various ad%ditionals, were scattered
pretty well all over the bottom of that
draw, altho both horses were down.
