Petition Passage Of Ar.
mory Bill.

Captain Osborn on Wednesday circu-
lated petition, which was freely signed
by all leading citizens and business men,
praying the legislature to take favorable
action on senate bill No. 81, appropri-
ating $1,000 for the construction of an
armory for each town in the state hav.
ing a militia company. The petition is
presented on the ground that such
buildings are necessary in order that
the equipment, the property Of the state.
may be cared for, and to furnish com,
modious drill quarters where such in.
struction may be given as will bring
the several companies up to the re.
oirements of the Dick bill.

the creek beds to be level full and things
like that. But we made the drive with
team and cutter, without the aid of a
flying machine, and we did not excavate
or tunnel through single creek bed.
All his cattle were alive and in very
fair shape.
Two weeks of most excellent weather
have prevailed since that time, tending
to knock the exaggeratien of a wonder
full winter out of mind, and now it can
be truthfully said that for the area in
western North Dakota from the Big
Missouri to the north of Dickinson, west
to the Yellowstone, thence to the south
boundary line and east, including the
Standing Rock reservation, there has
been no known loss of live stock of any
serious proportions.
The ranchmen to the north, beginning
with John Goodall and including Keogt
Bros, Henderson Bros, Foreman Bros.
Ben Manning, Christensen, Jensen
Bob Wilcox and all others known te
me, have wintered their cattle in gooc
shape.
Personally, do not know of any of the
so-called severe winters when there wa!
less individual or general loss. of liv'
stock in western North Dakota than dur
ing the present winter.
Several years ago Uncle Mack ane
Eek turned several hundred pilgrim cat
tie loose over north little ways, for Coz
to take care of, and to this day the,
don't know whether the cattle wandered
back to Texas or perished. Hence
murky tales of disaster and bone pile
for other peoples property.
The successful wintering of stock il
this country is tribute to the country
and especially to the men with red bloo'
in their veins who get out and are no
afraid of work. 1t also emphasizes tn
fact that cattle cannot be turned loose t
drift for themselves and Craze all tn

National Irrigation Con-
gress and California a
State Fair.

1t is announced by the officials of the
National Irrigation Congress and of the
California State Fair, that the dates of
these two events have been fixed to
cover the first two weeks of September,
and that an Interstate Exposition of
irrigated lands products on large
scale will be held, commencing with the
opening of the Irrigation Congress on
Monday, September 2 and continuing
until the close of the State Fair, Satur-
day, September ID.
This will have the effect OF making
the California State Fair an Interstate
Fair, so far as agricultural products are
concerned, and it is altogether probable
that the live stock feature too will 'De
made to include all the western states.
The details of the Interstate Exposi-
tion will be handled by the State Agri-
cultural Society and the Board of Con.
troll of the Irrigation Congress, and will
offer handsome prizes for Interstate
exhibitors.
Details for the big event are still tc
be determined, but it is probable that
the Interstate Dry Lands Exposition
will open Monday, September 2, and
that an effort will be made to have the
agricultural and horticultural exhibit:
of the California State Fair in place also
by that time. The Irrigation Congress:
will be scheduled to meet on Sept. 2
Saturday, the closing day of the lrriga
ton Congress and the opening day o
the State Fair, will be marked by some
kind of grand demonstration, includ
ing parade that will eclipse an!
previous affair OF the kind.
1t is urgently hoped that the state O
North Dakota will have large delega
ton at the next National Irrigation Con
gress as it has furnished more money tt
the U. S. Reclamation fund than any
other one state and is getting less
proportionally, than any other.

To THE EDITOR:

10 THE EDITOR:
Some of the stories told of our present
winter, if elaborated little, may in time
take rank with the great frost of 1926 in
England, or the story of John Ridd as
told in Blackmore's Romance of Ex-
moor, Lorna Doone. of the great winter
that occurred somewhere around 1880.
The great frost began with black east
wind after days of raw cold fog, and then
on the third night of the frost about the
18th of December such snow set in as
killed half the sheep and many even of
the red deer and the forest ponies" The
great winter was three score years after
the great frost beginning in much the
same way.
1T showed most wonderfully. Not
that the fakes were SO very large but
that there was no room between them,
neither any relaxing nor any change OF
direction. And here it was blocking up
the doors, stopping the ways and the
water courses, and making it much
worse to walk than in saw pit newly
used" The sheep were finally located
under "a great white billow as high as a
barn and as broad as house" and after
tunnelling them out John Ridd took one
sheep beneath his left arm and another
beneath his right and went straight home
to the upper sheppey. Sixty and six he
took home in that way, two at time or
each journey.
"And all the while from smotherine
sky came the pelting, pitiless arrows
winged with murky white" and "fo
people who had no sheep the sight was ;
very fine one"
Now this is supposed to have hap
pened in Merry England, not in Nortl
Dakota.
About two weeks ago when started
on hundred-mile drive for the Reser
vation with Billy Marsh, he had conjure.
in his mind just. such a winter as de
:. .sscribed, above. Frank Partridge had toll
him that snow was up to the tops of tn
sage brush, and he naturally looked TO

TWO GIRLS
Perish in South Dakota.

Arthur Sand, who lives at Sand Broth
ers ranch, seven miles east of Haley,
came to this city Saturday and told a
very sad story of two sisters, who were
frozen to death in Butte county just over
the line in South Dakota.
The victims were the Misses Bessie
and Alice Seim, aged 80 and IL years
respectively, and daughters of the late
MIR. Seim, for whom the town of Seim
was named.
The girls had been living with their
brothers on ranch between the North
and South Grand rivers, and Miss Bessie
had homestead few miles distant,
near the territory known as the Turkey
Track ranch. She was assisting in the
care of younger brother, who was ill at
the ranch, when land-grabber threat
ened to contest her claim. She left with
her younger sister for the claim and
after arriving remained for several days
at the shack
February l, one of the brothers from
the ranch went out to the claim to see
his sisters, but found the shack deserted,
and fresh tracks in the snow showed that
the girls had started for the ranch by a
different trail but few minutes previous
1t will be remembered that February
was very cold and stormy and it is
supposed that the girls, being worried
about their younger brother, left the
claim and were lost on their way to the
ranch. The brother followed their
tracks as far as possible. On returning
to the ranch and not finding his sisters
he again tried to locate them but rode
all night with no success. The next day
the neighbors joined in the hunt and
before the bodies of the girls were found,
after search of eight days, the settlers
for forty miles had joined the ranks Of
the searching party.
The bodies we're found February 9, a
half mile from the South Grand river,
and six miles beyond the brothers ranch
The distance between the places where
the bodies were found was less than 3oc
yards.
THE FAMILY HISTORY.
The girls parents were among the
early settlers in the vicinity of Seim anc
the father was quite well-to-do at tht
time of his death, which was caused by
runaway accident about IL miles south o
: this city in the year of 1896. The mothe
: died short time previous to the death o
!. her husband, and the family cares ant
i responsibility of the farm fell upon Bes
e sic, the oldest daughter.
Miss Seim was educated in the norma
o school at Spear6sh, South Dakota, an
It managed to send her brothers and sis
tiers to school.
The Seim family is one of the best
e known in Bowman, Hettinger and Butt
S counties, and the death of the two girl
o was a shock to the settlers for mile
- around.
T. The funerals were held the first pal
l. of last week and the bodies were interre
u at the old Seim homestead.

How often do you hear these signi-
fcant expressions from w m e NJ
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Plnkham of Lynn. Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this:

The fact that Saunders was retain
ed in the face of the company tradi-
ton which provides the ak for the
captain getting a Pacific Mail ship
into trouble has given rise to much
speculation as to how it happened,
says the San Francisco Call.
The matter was being discussed on
change the other day.
'.Harrfman's orders volunteered
one prominent shipping man.
Taft had something to do with 1t, !"
said another.
Saunders may thank the insurance
people" declared third.
You're all wrong said a fourth
member of the group, a man who is
close enough to the 'fbig chief" to
know what he is talking about,
'1Schwerin did it. Schwerin is waking
up to the fact that the policy of fir
ing every man that makes a mistake
is wrong. In considering Saunders
case he considered that the captains
mistake had cost a huge fortune. He
realized that Saunders would not re-
peat the error and came to the con-
clusion that it would be foolish to fire
a man after providing him with ST.
100000 worth of experience. So Saun-
ders stayed, and good luck to him,
he's the only million dollar skipper on
the Pacific and I'll bet he never
scratches the Manchuria's paint"

WIRELESS IN PACIFIC.

Captain George McGoldrick, of the
Associated Oil Company's tug Navi-
gator which put back to his port with
the barge Monterey in tow on Monday
night with a broken low pressure valve
stem, is largely interested in the West
ern Wireless Co. and has contracts for
the installation of wireless apparatus
aboard the vessels of the Matson Navi-
CATION CO., the Hifonian, the Enter
prise and the new boat building. He
will also supply the Rosecrans with
wireless and it is intended to place
wireless apparatus aboard the barges,
tankers, tugs and vessels of the Assoc
ciated Oil Company, including the tug
Navigator, with view to facilitating
the business of the transportation of
oil on this run. 1t is even declared
that the oil interests may establish a
wireless station here and that COM
munication between this point and ships
at sea between here and the mainland
and the stations on the Pacific Coast
win before very long be realized and
that direct communication by wireless
between Hawaii and California will
follow. All vessels of the Standard Oil
Company on the Great Lakes and the
coast are equipped with Wire
less and the handling of the fleet is
thus made simple.
