EXPLORING THE REGION.
Our first day here was consum d in n
general survey of the mound region. which
includes, in addition to the above. several
thousand burial mounds, some large and
some small, extending along the bluffs for
miles; and one must naturally conclude that
this was the site of a densely populated
mound builders city. Early the following

eton was that of q man OF me dunn height;
around the neck was string OF shell beads.
while scattered al out the remains were
numerous arrow points and two small
stone axes. The Uranium was OF the short
headed type, tho forehead less receding,
and tire crown less dome shaped than that
of the mo iern Indian. Nothing of conse-
quence was exhumed from Mound No. 2.

within a few feet OF the apex. which was
readily identified as an intrusive burial.

are not OF uncommon occurrence. as the

for their own sepulchres. The practice

easily deeided.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The President has issued his procla-
nation admitting the new States of
North Dakota and South Dakota. This
is the first instance in which twin states
have been admitted. As President
Harrison was the first to labor in Con-
gress for the bringing of Dakota into
statehood it seems appropriate that he
should welcome them to the sisterhood
Of States. Where are Washington and
Montana?
