Y PRAISE OF CHAMBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY.

There is no other medicine manufac-
tured that has received SO much praise
and so many expressions of gratitude as
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
effective, and prompt relief follows its
use. Grateful parents everywhere do
not hesitate to testify to it's merits for
the benefit of others. 1t is certain
cure for Group and will prevent the
attack if given at the first appearance
of the disease. 1t is especially adapted
to children as it is pleasant to take and
contains nothing injurious. Mr.. E. A.
Humphreys, we'll known resident and
clerk in the store of Mr.. E. Lock, of
Alice, Cape Colony, South Africa, says:

Remedy to ward off Group and colds in

and it gives me pleasure to recommend

have been kept separately, thus proving
the character of each village respective
of their former occupants. That guam
tity of specimens about exceeds the
number of specimens furnished by the
reporter to the Minnesota Historical
society during 1902 and 1903 preceding
the reorganization of the North Dakota
Historical society.
Among that number of o2oo speci-
mems are included perfect and imper-
feet artifacts, rejects, fragments and
chips, all explaining use or manipula-
ton. All teach us the manner of work
in its procedure from start to finish.
Some. of foreign material imported,
denote the route of migration of the
Mandans. Many duplicates are well
come for the purpose Of exchang ging with
other museums.
Among that number of specimens are
many rare, and valuable ones. l emu
merate only three, one perfect pot and
silver medal bearing the bust of Presi-
dent Jefferson, which is one of the
medals distributed by Lewis and Clark
to the Indian chiefs hundred years
ago. Both of these articles were secured
from graves about Fort Clark in Mercer
county, the old trading post of the Man
dams. From the same locality were
saved the stones of fireplace, after
taking Photographic picture of the
latter. These stones were NUMBER d in
white oil paint and transported to the
capitol, the old fireplace to be recon-
structed there or thereabout. 1t was

All these specimens describing the

IRRIGATION ON GREEN RIVER
Interesting Letter Written by John Fisher who
Resides Lix Miles North of Dickinson

along the river and watered two other
bottoms in addition to the first men
toned forty acres We watered field
of thirteen acres in May after it was
plowed; as soon as it was dry enough it
was drilled to oats; we failed to get the
water on about two acres which yielded
less than 20 bushels Fer acre. 1t was so
short it had to be cut with the mower.
The watered portion gave as bushels
per acre. If it had been watered again
in June the yield would have been much
more. M'llet on land watered previous
to being plowed in June and once after
ward gave three loads per acre, while
on small places where the water did not
reach the millet WAS not more than
eight inches high and never headed out.
Most millet was failure the past sea-
son. Potatoes on land watered previous
to planting yielded over $50 bushesl per
acre. They were never watered after
ward or they would have. yielded more.
Many llarmers did not raise enough
potatoes for their own use, in some
instances barely getting their seed back.
Most of the wheat in this neighborhood
did not exceed i've bushels per acre
AS to the cost of applying water, it cost
for coal about s. per day. This is the
price at the mine. Sometimes we used
straw or buck anything that
would burn. 1t usually takes two men
in the field, but with bitches more scien-
tiically laid out and first class gates, one
man might take care of it. For such
watering as we did last spring it must
have cost upwards of 81. 50 per acre, but
with larger engine, higher dams, and
better bitches, it can be done Tor much
less. We are all on Green river with
land adjoining, and are all very much
interested in irrigation. We have
studied all the different methods, and
have concluded that a, No 10 pump
mounted and driven by IS horse power
traction engine, would be the proper
thing for this locality. The valleys are
narrow and long bitches are impractic
able on account of high cut banks. Tt
us who are so much interested in irriga
ton it seems too bad that our expert
ment farm was not located where exper
imenrS COuIu have been conducted
under irrigation in addition to dry farm
ing methods. l suggested. this to some
of our leading men.
If you ever come up to Dickinson
phone out to me, or better, come ou
and examine the lay and hear such +;
talk on irrigation as you haven't hearc
in many day.
Respectfully yours,

MANDAN INDIAN RELICS


Fort Clark site, from which also a fire.
place was secured and of which more is
said below
A good picture has been obtained of
post standing at Fort Clark site in one
of the thirteen lodges surrounding the
large medicine lodge in circle.
At Mandan lake site have also OBJ
served thirteen lodges encircling the
medicine lodge, which fact is very inter-
esting to note, as, also, that four of the
thirty-twc had been fortified by an at
present visible trench enclosing the
village, which trench had been strategi-
cally strengthened by projecting bastions
at the corners or angles, as also at diff
ferent other points, as shown on the
sketches, both trenches and bastions
being yet in fair state of preserva-
ton
Two on the eastern side of the Mis-
souri, river are protected by double
row of trenches, an outer and an inner
one with lodges between the two
trenches.
All other sites bear indications of
single ditches, either washed out to a
ravine or nearly covered up again.
In all instances the ground thrown out
of the trenches or bitches was invari-
ably heaped up at the inner side to-
wards the village.
Of former, stockades around the vii
lagos old stumps have been detected,
of which one is kept for sample, show
ing the manner of cutting. More of
these stumps unearthed proved to be
far too rotten for preservation.
Description of quite number of vii
lage sites and their surrounding country
are recorded in field books. All sites
visited have been named for reference,
and pictures have been taken of several
of these sites
Besides the results accomplished as
described above nearly o,2oo specimens
of Mandan and Arikara origin have been
accumulated from nearly all the various

The Voice of the Prairie.

Have you heard the voice of the Prairie
When it singeth its song of mirth
In Spring when fresh. verdure springeth
From the breast OF the brown old eartl..
Heard you the myriad fragments
Of the perfect harmony,
The laughter Of ripping water,
The music OF bird and bee,
The song of the breezes greeting
The earliest flowers birth?
Oh! the voice of the Prairie is merry
When it singeth its song of mirth.
Have you heard the voice Of the Prairie.
When it moaneth its song Of pain
When the walling winds with cadence
Sweep free DER the limitless plain.
When hushed is the liquid music
OF every feathered throat,
Save only the mournful sadness
Of the plover's bodilg note,
The rustling of soaring grasses,
The grasshopper's weird refrain?
Oh! the voice of the Prairie is dreary,
When it moaneth its song of pain.
Have you heard the voice OF the Prairie,
When it shouteth its song of strength,
When the mighty king of the Northland
sweeps
Over its breadth and length.
Heard you his bowling retainers
Shrieking at door and at pane;
The rush and roar of the Blizzard
The North-kings' mightiest Thane?
A song of power and triumph
That too oft presages blight;
Oh! the voice of the Prairie is fearful
When it shouteth its song of might.
Have you heard the voice of the Prairie,
When it lilteth its song OF hope,
When the soul hears notes Of future Joy
Through fair Faiths perfect altiscope.
A chorus of sweet bird voices
With never a note of pain
The patter Of raindrops falling
On rustling fields of grain?
The lark's song floating upward
To where heavens gate stands ope.
Oh! the voice of the Prairie is joyous
When it lilteth its song OF hope.

The Dickinson press. (Dickinson, Stark County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1927, 1905-12-16

The following letter was received
recently by the state engineer and is
published for the benefit of those who
are interested in irrigation in western
North Dakota. The information fur
nished is precisely to the point and
shows very clearly the advantages
resulting from irrigation:
Dickinson, N. D, Dec. S, 1905.
Mr.. A. L. Fellows, State Engineer,
Bismarck, N. d.:
Dear Sir: Your letter of November
9Th concerning irrigation arrived here
during my absence, and regret that it
has not been answered long ago hope
it is not yet toe late to be of some value
TO you in gathering your statistics on
such an important subject. The loca-
ton of our irrigation plant is on section
5, township 40, range o6, Stark county.
From this location we have -watered
about 40 acres, but we intend to water
much more in the future. Our method
of irrigation is by pumping. We use a
No. 8 centrifugal pump, driven by a
~. horse power threshing engine-a a
/, 20 horse power engine would be better;
the lift varies from II to 13 feet. We
have dam about two and one-half feet
high for storage of water. We intend
! raising it much higher, and also intend
building several others the coming
season We have always had good
results; the only trouble is that we have
not irrigated more extensively; We GER
tainly will do so in the future. The
summer of 1904 we did no pumping; the
river overhowed its banks in the spring
and gave the bottoms such soaking
that no watering was needed. Oats
yielded on the bottoms in 1904 from 81
to 100 bushels per acre, but mostly 81
bushels. The past season had Durum
wheat drilled in on corn ground, which
watered April IS previous to drilling
which yielded 40 bushels to the acre
Fife wheat right alongside, on unirri
gated land, yielded about five bushels
per acre. This same ground had {
splendid crop of wheat the previous yea
through its being overfowed, but wa:
4 almost a total failure this year. Yo,
crops side by side; it was the talk O
every one who saw it. The road passe:
through along these fields. The unirri
gated land is across the line on section
.8, and does not belong to me, and te
make the contrast more marked, ths
! poor crop was full of mustard and othe
weeds.
We mounted our pump on wheels las
spring, moved it to different place!
