; > loneer in the old days , he is a plone
n the present day , being elected cou
y treasurer of Meletto county , S. II
on the first organization of that cou
ty out of the old Sioux reservatlo
this year.
This is the county which contains
large portion of the land to be throv
open for settlement and which w
the subject of registration at Gregoi
Dallas , Rapid City and other plac
this fall. Before the new comers r
rived the county was organized ni
the capital established at Whi
River.
While Col. Jordan is democrat
there was no politics in the electic
What they wanted was the conn
seat at White River , and the India
paid money which was due. Tha
how the colonel got into politics ai
the matters tie fought for won out.
"I suppose there were 200 whit
in the county , " said the colonel. "T
Indians have settled all over the IK
country , as it is called. It Is a be ?
tiful stretch of prairie and will dou
less make n first-class farming co
munlty. "
Col. Jordan resides on his Ohchn
ranch , but of course has nn office
White River as treasurer of the coi
ty. The residents lost no time In ho
Ing their election and getting orgi
Izod for "civilization" as soon as c <
gross made It possible.
'Tho old ones are passing , "
marked Mr. Jordan as he looked up
a drawing of Gen. Manderson

from the general. When Admin
Sehloy was hero as his guont Mnndi'i
son wrote asking me If I would Ilk
to send him some little Indian tokei
I mulled a couple of Indian dolh
which ho presented publicly , and lalo
I received a handsome letter from th
admiral In response. And the tw
men died within twenty-four hours ti
each other.
"Then there was Gustavo Andersor
whom we all liked , and further Imcl
Mill 1'axton. 1 recall an Incident u
Bill which has given mo many
laugh. 1 Was in Omaha visiting ol
General Stanton and others , India
Ing a lieutenant who had a weaknes
for red eye. I remember that wo ha
a little distance to go one day and
asked whore a carriage could b
found. 'Carriage , ' said Bill. 'Cm
rlage ? Walk , you dam little cuss
walk like 1 do ; It will do you good
And it struck mo mighty funny thn
one man who hadn't much of till
world's goods should bo looking fc
a carriage and the one who coul
write his chock for big amounts dli
n't want one. But that was BUI , a
right. "

"POTASH SQUABBLE"SETTLED
Americans Finally Accept Comproml *
at Germany's Hands.
New York , Jim. 1. Terms of n. flm
settlement of the "potash contn
versy" between German and America
Interests were announced by the li
ternnttonal agricultural corporatloi
which Is the owner of the Sollstci
mine , over which the dispute lu
largely been waged.
The announcement declares that tli
only foundation for previous reporl
that differences had been settled wr
that a basis of compromise had bee
tentatively agreed upon.
"Adjustments have now been mat !
and confirmed by exchange of cable
with Berlin , " It is stated. "Tho ren
jUBtmcnts provide for tlio withdraw )
of all suits in our courts involving 11
bility for payment of the potash tn
levied by Germany , for the asslgnmei
to the syndicate of American contrac
with the independent mines , for no
contracts with the syndicate covcrln
full American potash requirements c
a basis practically the same as tin
prevailing before the low price co :
tracts were obtained from the Ind
pendent mines , and for the re-entry <
the independent mines into the ay :
dlcate. "
The statement continues :
"As the owner of the Sollstcdt min
the International Agricultural corpor
tlon has exhausted every posslb
means to protect its low price co
tracts with American consumers.
"The corporation and those wl
shared with the difficulties of its p
sitions have agreed to tlie present se
tlement , after the Americans who he :
contracts with the Sollstedt and A
chersleben mines negotiated the lnt <
Hamburg contracts with the syndica
found it impossible for the Unite
States government to obtain any r
lief for American consumers.
"It is to bo regretted that Amei
cans failed to accept a former coi
promise obtained for them by the i
/ ternational , the terms of a far moi
favorable scale than those now agree
o. Too much blame , however , shou'
not be imposed for these failures , ft
ho reason that tlio Americans coir
not believe at that time that the enc
etic efforts of their governmei
ivould bo Ineffective to protect co
ructs against the operation of tl
3crman tax law. "
