It is highly desirable at this time
and it would be of the greatest assis-
lance to the secretary if all those hav-
ing anything worthy of publication in
our first volume of Collections would
send it in at once. The State Histor-
ical society belongs to the citizens of
the whole state and it's publications
are freely open to all contributors J.
along every line of special OF general
interest.
20. G. Libby, Secretary.
Address, 1921 University Ave-,
Grand Forks, N. D.
The Historical Society is certainly
doing a work that is very much need
ed in this state. We hear from Ft.
Berthold reservation of an effort be-
ing made by the society to have the
U. S. Government set aside as a state
preserve and controlled by the society
that part of the reservation once used
by the three tribes as village site and
burial place. A movement is on foot
also, to have the old settlers and trad
ers of the state gather at the old Lewis
& Clark fort site on the Missouri
river, near Stanton, and locate the
sites of this and other forts, trading
posts and the Indian village in the vi
cinity. 1t is quite likely also that re-
representatives. of the Mandan, eros
Ventre and Rec tribes will be at this
meeting with an official interpreter,
and they will ne doubt add much to
the interest of the occasion. The re-
cent aid given by the secretary of the
society to Leonard Crunelle, the Chi
cago artist, in finding material for the
statue of Sakakawea, is an illustration
of the general usefulness of such an
organization. Mr.. Crunelle was invit-
ed by the society to visit the state and
study the eros Ventre Indian women
and their costumes, so that the statue
he is at work upon might be accurate
in every detail. Incidently the Sec
rotary was able, with the expert aid Of
Rev. G. L. Hall, of Elbowoods, to COR
rect the Indian spelling OF the Bird
Women, Sakakawea.
So useful an organization and one
so thoroughly representative in it's
membership and purposes should re-
ceive better support in the future. The
membership should be doubled by an
other year in appreciation of what the
society is doing for the state.

n which North Dakota is so rich.

3. A valuable collection of books,
documents, and pamphlets, manuscript
materials and photographs, historical
relics and Indian specimens for the
library and museum of the society at
Bismarck. In the collection of the
Mandan specimens the secretary has
been greatly aided by the efficient SER
vices of E. r. Steinbreuck of Mandan.
4. The newspaper collection. The
volumes + now being bound prepar-
atory to placing them on file in the
oom of the society at Bismarck. The
collection contains a file of every pa
per in the state, with duplicates for
clipping, Owe 276 in number, and 8
papers outside the state, mostly from
Canada. These papers cost the socie-
ty nothing but the filing and binding,
and will in a few years become one of
the most valuable possessions of the
society.
5. Two valuable loan collections
which are to be placed in the museum
and which are to be purchased as fast
as there are funds available for the
purpose. The owners of these collec-
tions are Geo. H. Bingenheimer, of
Mandan, whose specimens are largely
of the Sioux tribe; and Mrs. Chas.
Hoffman, of Shell Creek, whose speci-
mems IRE chiefly eros Ventre.
In the preparation of the forthcom-
ing volume of Collections, the secre-
tary has been very fortunate in gain
ing the confidence and securing the CO.
operation of a large number of repre-
sentative members of the Sioux, Chip
pewa, Mandan, Rec and eros Ventre
tribes of the state. In this way there
have come into the possession of the
society valuable specimens, tribal
myths and ceremonies, photographs
of individuals in full dress, and other
records of the old life which are rap
idly disappearing at this time and
which, once lost, can be recover
ed. Rev. G. L. Hall, missionary at
E~lbowoods, from his knowledge OF
several Indian languages and his long
experience on the Ft. Berthold reser-
walton, has been of the utmost assist
ance to the society in their work a.
mong the Mandans, eros Ventures and
Rees.
The Society is fortunate, also, in be.
ing able to command the services, just
now, of several college men who are
donating their work freely, in con
junction with the secretary, to pre-.
serve and record the secretary, to pre-
serve and record the early history o.
the state. Among the most efficient
of these contributors are Prof. II. G.

ALDRICH SUGGESTS
 ENTIRELY NEW PLAN
He Would Simply Place $1o,ooo,o00 Of Government Funds on Deposit In
 Frisco for Period of Years.

Washington, June H-An entirely new proposition for the supply of funds for building purposes to San Francisco was developed yesterday through conferences of the relief committee now here from that city and presented today to the House committee on appropriation at hearing given the relief committed
 The plan. it Is said, is the suggestion of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island who objected strenuously to the proposed plan for a government loan of $1O0OO 900 to the Red Cross, or for a similar loan to the San Francisco Clearing House association.
 The plan proposed today is that Con gress pass joint resolution authorizing the secretary of the treasury to place $l00O0,0O0 of government funds on deposit in San Francisco under the same terms as deposits are made in all government depository banks with the exception that 1t shall remain where deposited for five or ten years.
 To make this money available for build ing purposes a local improvement com pany would be organized, which would transact all the business between the banks having the deposits and the pros- pective borrowers. the improvement con- pany to assume the responsibility to the bank for loans.
 The plan was still being discussed when the hearing ended for the day.

OKLAHOMA WILD
 WITH ENTHUSIASM
NEWS OF STATEHOOD IS VEL COINED BY BLOWING WHISTLES, FIRING GUNS, PARADlNG AND A GENERAL GLORIOUS TIME.

Guthrie, Okla, June 14-whistles were blown guns fired, and flags flung to the breeze when the news reached this city and others In Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory that the House had passed the statehood bill. Crowds of excited citizens are marching the streets here tonight bearing American flags with an addition Oklahoma. Farmers and settlers in the outlying country are congregating in the city for a general celebration.
 The struggle for statehood in the two territories has been going on intermittent ly for seven years. It was originated In Muscogee in 1899. in a meeting addressed by Pleasant Porter. chief of the Creek Indians, and several senators and con gressmen from adjoining states. At that time Indian Territory included all of Okla homa. Seven years ago the people of h. dian Territory and Oklahoma gathered at meeting at South McAlester and ask ed for statehood Legislation, and the re- moval of restrictions. The strenuous cam paign for statehood began three years ago at convention at Sewanee, where a joint statehood meeting attended by delegates from both territories were held. At that meeting 1t was decided for the first time to send statehood boomers to Washington. Each year since that time statehood conventions have been held Boomers have bombarded the halls of Congress and until tonight the people of Oklahoma have seen their hopes dashed to the ground by adverse legislation or never-ending delays

BRYAN VISITS THE
 RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT
Says It Is Too Early for Him to Dis cuss Democratic Candidates
 for 1908.

St. Petersburg, June 14.-William J. Bryan was an interested spectator of the proceedings in the lower house of par Mament today During the agrarian de- bate, which was continued throughout the morning session he occupied seat in the diplomatic box as the guest of Ambassador Meyer and during the recess some of the leaders of the house, who appeared anxious to explain their views to the distinguished American. Among others MT. Bryan talked with M. Aladin, leader of the peasant workmen group, which is now denominated the group of toll and is the most radical ele- ment in parliament. The group of toll has decided to carry the fight against the decision of the district court in the case of M Ulianoff, who has been indicted all though member of parliament and therefore exempt from political prosecu- ton to the floor of the house.
 MT. Bryan was also buttonholed by a harmless crank who had planned to stop famines by teaching the peasants to eat the field rations which destroy the crops and offered to subscribe s25,000 if he could -interest Americans to take up the plan
 Asked to define his attitude toward the Presidential candidacy in 1908 MT. Bryan expressed his pleasure at the compliment ary resolutions passed by various state conventions, but said 1t was too early to make any announcement relative to his renomination.
 In the afternoon Mir Bryan called on Foreign Minister Ilswisky to whom he was presented by Ambassador Meyer.

Washington, June 14-An airship under complete control flying over Washington was the spectacle witnessed here today. Thousands turned out to see the novel sight, and cheered the navigator as he skilfully directed the craft.
 The ship started from a point three miles from Washington on the Virginia side and was steered directly for the Washington monument A slight mishap to the machinery caused the navigator to descend. the ship being safely landed close to the monument. In half hour the ship again was in flight and the navigator after twice circling the monument at a distance of 400 feet, steered for the White House. He landed about fifty yards from the south portico. Mrs. Roosevelt was at the window when the descent was made and exhibited great interest in the strange looking structure. After remaining in the

KITTRIDGE WANTS
 TO VOTE ON CANAL
Foraker Asks Whether It ls Necessary to Decide the Question at the
 o.e.ent Session.

Washington, June 14.-Today after Senator Dryden had concluded his speech on the Panama "anal bill, Senator Kilt redge made an effort to secure a vote on the bill, and was making fair prog ress when Senator Foraker interposed with a question as to the necessity for determining the type of canal during the present session. He said that his predic- tions had been in favor of the sea-level type, but that some debate had arisen in his mind. and that he did not feel now prepared to vote. Messrs. Teller, Warren, Hopkins and Scott agreed with this suggestion. MT. Hopkins said that no possible harm could come from post ponement.
 Senator Hale expressed a desire to se- cure a vote during the present session. Senator Carter argued for postponement, and said that the construction could be terfering with the type. Senator Culber- son called attention to the presidents s declaration of his intention to proceed with the construction of a lock canal unless congress should order otherwise.
 MT. Hale made the point that the bill was the unfinished business, and that it must be voted upon, or displaced by a. vote. He said that if the bill was not now acted upon 1t would be added as an amendment to. the sundry civil appro- priation bill. Senator Blackburn opposed postponement, declaring that the presi- dents preferences for a lock canal are known. He said:
 Tt is an open secret that if this ses- sion adjourns, the type of canal is fixed. and fixed by reason of our non-action. It will be lock and dam canal whether congress prefers it or not
 He said he would be willing to continue the session until October to reach the correct decision.

OFFICERS TO BE
 HELD RESPONSIBLE
UNTERMEYER WRITES RATHER TART LETTER TO PRESIDENT PEABODY PRESENTING VIEWS OF PoLIcYHoLDERs.

New York, June 14,-Samuel Untermey- holders committed, today sent letter to President Peabody of the Mutual Life Insurance company saying that the off, cers of the company would be held per- sonally responsible for the Mutual Life advertising which is now appearing in the newspapers.
 MT. Untermeyer explained in his letter that Seymour Eaton, secretary of the policyholders committee, had handed him a copy of his letter of the 9th instant to MT. Peabody and the latter's reply of the 12th. These referred to this adver- Using matter.
 Referring to the advertisements MT. Untermeyer says:
 "It was natural that the policyholders should resent these latest assaults upon their property which were in many re- spects quite as daring as any that has been exposed This they did by writing to the secretary of the committee. He court eously inquired of you for your yer sion of the facts, but it seems from your reply that you do not consider such legitimate inquiries entitled to an- swer.
 Perhaps you believe that this defiant and contentious attitude toward the vic- timized polcyholders will tend to restore confidence in the discredited manage ment"
 In conclusion the letter read:
 You will please take notice that the officers of your company will be held per- sonally responsible for the money ex- pended in these transparent efforts to conduct your campaign against the poli- cyholders at their expense"

 QUORUM IN CONGRESS
SkIu Navigator Circles Twice Around Washington Monument Calls at the White House, Sails Down Pennsylvania Avenue,
 Circles Around the Capitol and Pays Short Visit

grounds a short time the navigator made another ascent, carrying his ship over the three newspaper offices and then took a straight course down Pennslvania avenue to the capitol. where it was viewed by thousands of people, and by senators and representatives, and also the employees about the building
 The quorum In both houses disappeared and all manifested great interest in the machine. The navigator passed over the capitol south of the great dome, and then circled around and around over the plaza on the east front, finally bring ing his ship to the earth directly in front of the middle steps of the capitol. The large crowd cheered as he descended showing absolute control of the machine.
 After remaining about quarter of an hour at the capitol the navigator again set sail and passing over the building north of the dome, started back to Vir- ginia.

KOCH TELLS EDITORS
 THEY RULE THE WORLD
The Governor of Kansas Addresses tho National Assoc ation on "A Country
 Editor By One of Them"

Indianapolis, June Ex-Governor Hoch of Kansas arrived late this evening and addressed the National Editorial associa- ton on "A Country Editor by One of Them" Governor Hoch paid a tribute to the country editor, saying:
 After all the influence of the country press is better than that of the city press. There are 10000 newspapers In the United States, one-tenth of these are dailies and nlne-tenths are weeklies. It must be as Abraham Lincoln said of the poor in re- lation to the rich--that the Lord Almighty thinks more of the country editor than of the daily newspaper, for he has made so many of them.
 "Gentlemen and ladies of the press. you are kings and queens. Your throne may be a rickety chair; your sceptre may be a stubby pencil, but you rule the world just tho same. exalt your station"

POPE TO LEAVE ROME.
Rumor Says He Must Have Change of
 Air to Recover.

Rome, June H-A rumor is again cir culating that the Pope intends to leave the vatican and go to the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo. on Alban Lake. two hours drive from Rome.
 The report is strengthened by the re- cent illness of the pontiff. the fact that he needs change of air in order to com pletely recover, and because the moderate section of the Catholic press seems to be preparing the ground for the change by explaining that if the Pope breaks up his voluntary captivity in the vatican this would not altar the relations between the church and the qnirinal' which have existed since 1870. especially considering that the change will be from the vatican to the papal villa of Castel Gandolfo. which, like the vatican, enjoys extra ter- ritoriaI rights.

There were three or four amendments made by the con- ferees at formr conferences to subjects not in dispute which admittedly were out of order. and these were promptly elimi- hated today.
 Differences concerning other questions on which the conferees had previously agreed. including lateral lines, passes Pullman cars. and several other subjects of great importance were as sharply con- tested as though they had not been con- sidered at the former session
