How About the Driver?

The experience three school ma ANS
and two young gentlemen of Lakota
had last Friday night is said to have
been somewhat narrowing and nerve
racking. The bolt in the double tree
broke while pulling through a mud
hole and the team went on without the
carriage but dragged the driver over
the dashboard into the mud and then
skipped out leaving the party stranded.
They remained in this state until fin
ally rescued and brought to town by
another Lakota young man who was
also a Bartlett visitor that night. The
girls say it's their last trip to Bartlett

Dunseith Townsi tie.

The townsite matter is settled by
a uniting of the two parties to the
controversy. A charter under the
name Dunseith Townsite Co., with a
capitalization of $45, 900, has been
applied for and within a week the
members of the new company will
meet, organize, and all the individual
interests will be transferred to the
company. After this is done the new
corporation will be in position to give
warranty deeds. In regard to present
lot holders, we feel assured that each
lone will be treated fairly, and that
due consideration will be given to i'm
provements and Investment. *

Accounted For.

London, April 13.-The Associated

the statement that the Russian bat
tleships passed Singapore going east
ward April 8, so that all of Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's squadron is ac-
counted for. This definite news about
the battleships was sent to Singapore
by wireless telegraph from the China
sea. 1t is presumed here that the
battleships passed further out to sea
than the rest of the squadron, hence
the divergent reports regarding the
number of ships.

TANNED In WILD WEST STYLE.
Miller Brothers, at Their 1ol Ranch,
Near Bliss, Okla, Entertain $4,000
People at Buffalo Hunt and Indian
celebrstion-Stage Robbery and
Parade of Indians.

Bliss, Okla, June 12.-Fifty thou
sand people were entertained by Mil
Ter Brothers, at the 1O1 ranch Sun
day, the visit of the National Editorial
association to the ranch being made
the occasion for the buffalo hunt, a
buffalo dinner and an Indian celebra-
ton. The editors. many of whom were
accompanied by ladies', arrived on the
ranch at IL o'clock over the Santa Fe
in a special train.
The general public had been invited
to the entertainment. The Santa Fe
railroad, which runs through the
ranch, carried 10000 people to 101, and
as many more drove in to attend the
show. An immense grandstand extend
ing around the arena was built for the
visitors. The arena itself was half a
mile long and a third of a mile wide
To handle the crowd required nearly
200 passenger coaches.
The Ponca and Otoe Indians, whose
lands are being allotted, had planned a
celebration to take place some time
during the spring, to which they ex
pected to invite all the other Indians
in the territory to help them celebrate
the dissolution of their tribal territory
This was arranged to take place al
the same time Of the editors visit.
The ranch bought 35 head of buffalo
in Montana, and planned a buffalo
chase by the Indians. Each one of the
special guests, and there were not less
than 1000, was served with piece o.
buffalo meat in connection with the
dinner. Besides the buffalo the pro
gram included a wild west show will
roping and riding contests, IndiaI
dances, a stage robbery and a NINA
ture reproduction of the rush into thu
Cherokee strip. The program also in
cluded a parade beginning with thu
Indian, attired in paint and feathers
followed by the OK team and prairi'
schooner, and ending with an automo
bile.

Improve Coast Defense.

The general staff of the U. S. army
has recommended the establishment OF
a system Of submarine defenses for the
coast. The plan has been approved by
Lieutenant General Chaffee and will be
by him submitted 10 congress.
This is one of the definite results Of
the war in the far east, where torpedo
boats, both fixed and mobile, and sub
marine mines played such an import
ant part in the destruction of ships.
The new corps will embrace 5000
officers and men, who will be trained
in the specialized work of submarine
defense. 1t is proposed that members
of this corps shall not only have charge
of torpedo outfits and shore batteries
that will protect the mine fields, but
they shall be charged with the care
and operation of public plants, search
linghts and other accessories.
The estimed cost of equipping the
proposed submarine defense is $4,000.
900. This will provide for fleet of
submarine torpedo boats for all the
principal harbors. searchlight equip
ment, wireless telepgraphy outfits and
floating mines.
1t is expected that the navy will en-
ter an objection to the plan that fleet
of submarines be constructed for opera
tion by the army. There is much jeal'
ously between the services over this
question and it is already apparent
that the scheme will not so through
without fight.

WAR STATUS LAST WEEK.
No Military or Naval Operations in
Far East.


Far East.
There were no important military or
naval operations in the far east last
week, as all influences were making
for peace. No aggressiveness was
manifested in Manchuria, although
both armies have apparently been in
condition to wage heavy battle. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently decided to
postpone his contemplated forward
movement until the question of sea
supremacy was determined and by so
doing he has undoubtedly effected an
immense saving in blood and treasure.
The week closed with an expression
of willingness by both belligerents to
accept the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the appointment of plen-
ipotentiaries who are to consider
peace terms. This does not necessari-
ly mean that the conditions proposed
by Japan will be acceptable or that
permanent end of hostilities is assur-
ed by the calling of the conference.
But it signifies that Russia has in a
measure recognized the hopelessness
of her cause, and with the intimation
that peace would be agreeable to her,
the first essential step toward getting
it has been taken.
The striking figure in these impor-
tant preliminaries has been that OF
President Roosevelt. 1t is now admit
ted at all the great capitals that he
was in the best position to advise the
opening of negotiations that might
bring to a close the bloody conflict
now more than a year old He has
done it with dignity and fellcitous
terms and both powers interested
have not been slow to praise the ad-
mirable manner in which he has la
bored for peace.
