National Magazine.

The National Magazine for April
goes from the ten to the fifteen cent
class. It contains s'The Truth About
Panama." from the zen of the first
magazine editor who "had the spunk
to personally visit Panama This is
the big feature of the number. It may
we'll be guessed that this distinction
belongs to Joe Mitchell Chapple, the
editor of the National Magazine, who
has way of his own of doing
things" At the outset of this article,
which is illustrated with 100 hand
some views, showing every detail of
the work being done in digging the
great ditch, and which takes sixty-five
pages in the National, Mr.. Chapple
says his trip was undertaken on a
sudden impulse in ansewr to a chal-
lenge given by a public official. The
decision to make the trip was a sud-
den one and was promptly executed,
for, he adds, ''the only way to go is to
co. 1t, is a great story that, the Ma
tional publishes, and it is. one that will
be read with widespread interest
throughout the country. The National
should be in the hands of every person
interested in this great project of the
American nation, because it is the
most complete and thorough account
of the great enterprise that has ap
peared in any magazine at any time.

Washburn, the county seat OF NC
Lean county, North Dakota, is situat- |
ed on the east bank of the Missouri
river forty-fve miles north of Bis
marck. ..t@ 90 @3sa.#
+. Recently one of SS North Dakotas
great men claimed that the Garden OF
Eden was situated in the southeastern
part of the state Be this as it may,
others claim that long before the days
of Father Adam upon this mundane
sphere the ancient spirits of the
braves from the .uppeT hunting
grounds saw the beauties of this re-
gion and desired and did possess it.
The identical spot is beautiful fiat
on the south side of Turtle creek IN
Mclean county about two and a half
miles south of Washburn.
The legend is about as follows: A
great spirit in the. land of the immor-
tails long before the first inhabitants
were upon earth, was out hunting and
getting hungry desired something to
eat. Seeing a wild turnip he dug
around it and pulling it up saw a hole
reaching down to space below. His
curiosity being aroused he looked
down through this hole apd saw a
new country in which herds of count,
less buffalo, deer, antelope and other
game were feeding. Being DESTROYS OF
going to this beautiful country he be-
gan to lay plans whereby he could
get to IT, s
AS the hole was too small to permit
an object of any size to pass through
he thought to turn hirnesf into ar
arrow and pass through and fall to the
earth. But he realized that should he
do so he would bury himself so deeI
in the earth that he could never ge
out, and If he fell lengthwise he would
break to pieces SO being a grea
medicine man he caused a grea
storm to come up and as the wind blew
the arrow did not fall straight ant
hard and when 1t struck the earth /
was buried only a short distance il
the rich, loose soil, and the wind blow
ing the arrow to and fro and the rail-
falling it was soon washed out, an,
then taking on the original Indial
form was ready to possess this earth
" paradise and did SO during count
less ages, notwithstanding the al
tempts of evil as wei as good spirit
until in the year 1875 when the frs
white man took possession in such
way as to make a permanent settle
ment. And strange to relate this sci
Element was made on almost the ider
tical spot where the great hunter frs
touched the earth. TO those curiou

it may be well to say that they vii

In 1882 J. P. Peterson, August H.
Wahl, Ole Everson, Jens Olson, Ben
Johnson and others, who have since
died or moved to other places, settled

Among these people and their de-

the, most substantial people Of the
county. - t'-.,
About this time or perhaps little
earlier came the Mann brothers, but
they settled in another part Of the
county but since have lived in Wash
burn and have done much to aid in
the upbuilding Of the country.
Then came John Switzerland, j. S.
veeder and others and the real settle
ment Of the county in general began.
!Founding, Of the Town of Washburn.
Early in the spring Of 1882 George
lG. Rhude, John Sutherland and John
Is. Veeder laid out the townsite OF
Washburn and named It in honor OF
Gen. W. D. Washburrn, But the Oldest
Temporary settlement in the country
was the old fort known as Fort Man
dan and built only half a mile from
where Washburn now stands, in the
fall of 1894, by Lewis and Clark, who
built two rows Of huts, containing
four rooms each, surrounding all with
q strong stockade. And It was here
that the great buffalo hunt of the 7th
OF December occurred, vast herd OF
buffalo having come into the river
bottom near by.
