FINE INDIAN RELICS FOR MUSEUM
State Historical Society Receives Valuable Indian Relics From
Fort BertEo!d, Including the Hoffman Collection.

Prof. Libby. secretary of the state
historical society. has just returned
from visit to the Fort Bcrthold In
dian reservation, where he was espe-
cially successful in collecting valuable
relics for the society.
Not only was the secretary success
full in his efforts in collecting many
very rare and valuable specimens of
ancient Indian life, but also secured
for the benefit OF the society the loan
of the c. w. Hoffman collection. which
is the most valuable eros Ventures col
lection in the state, and one of the
best in existence, and is worth $500
to $1,000.
Curator Fish was installing this col
lection Saturday afternoon.
Attend Indian Council.
Upon the trip Mr.. Libby was Sue
cessful in being permitted to attend
an Indian council, held in one of the
old lodge, just as they were held in
ancient days. when they were the
most sacred rites of these people.
The council was in exact accord
with these formal rites for ages i'm
memorial, consisting of the circle
around the fire, the smoking of the
pipe and the speeches.
After the council was held the feast
of the roasted beef after the olden
style.
The trip resulted in his meeting
with many of the old men and listen
ing to their stories. among them be-
ing Bad Gun, son of the great Mandan
chief, Four Bears. who died in the
smallpox epidemic. when the five viii
lagos were broken up in 1887, and
who, at the age of ten. was a hunter
and warrior of his tribe Also valu.
able pictures of Indians and Indian
scenes were obtained ,H,on the trip.
But. perhaps, the most valuable and
rarest article obtained was pair of
ancient baptismal pipes and legends
attending them; also the form of cere-
mony was carefully explained and
illustrated by burying the sweet grass
as a savory offering to the spirits of
earth, air and water, exacting a prom.
Use that when the pipes were in
stalled that the same ceremony and
burying of the sweet grass should he
faithfully performed, which promise
was in no way broken.

The eros ventres Are Angry.

There is gloom and sorrow among
the Gros Eentres. Poor old Wolf
Chief was by some means prevailed
upon to dispose of some of the sacred
tribal relies and to let them pass
away from the state and go to dis
tant Eastern city. They felt that they
have been disgraced and dishonored.
But they are now willing to let the
state historical society have these
things. as then they will be preserved
and honored and kept where they will
not become mercenary chattel.

falo. together with the handle at
tached. and its manner of use by an
old Mandan woman shown, was OBJ

OF buffalo horn. complete with handle.
Taken altogether this trip of Secre-
tary Libby is an unusually successful
one. and he is naturally elated over
his success in securing so many valu.
able exhibits for the state museum.

GET TERMINAL ELEVATOR.
500 Line Will Stop Grain inspection
Fight at Superior.

North Dakotans are to have ter.
minal elevator at Superior. Wis.
The 500 railroad has decided the
now famous grain inspection fight in
favor of the Superior and North Da-
kOta interests. by announcing that
that road will erect an elevator of sew
eral million bushels capacity at Su-
perior. This elevator will be made a
public warehouse, and no discrimina-
tion will be shown in handling grain
Under the 500 lines plan the Wis
consin dealers will be able to do bust
ness under the Wisconsin grain in
spection law. In fact, the 500 people
have intimated as much to North Da-
kota grain men. The North Dakota
grain men have held several confer
ences with the 500 officials since it
was learned that the road was going
to build into Superior, and, while they
never exposed their plans, they have
given the Dakota people plenty of as
surance that they will take care Of
their grain.

 Another nice things about the Ari- zona climate not heretofore mention ed. is that one gets more for his money at the post office than any where else. providing his cores pondents all live in the southwest. If they live in the east it IS different and it is suggested that if Uncle Sam does not want to lay himself liable to the charge of grating on the people he had better revise his postage rates. issue a differentsal rate for Arizona or else make it a rule that whatever gets by the initial post master goes by without interference, right or wrong. Under present con- dstions one has nc assurance that his letter will not be held up for postage al the other end Of this line. no mat ter how urgent 1t be. and it is all on account of the climate.
 This is the story Not long ago Phoenix business house got out a line
 of circular letters. The management thought by aealing the letters and sending them at first class postage rates better results would follow for prompt delivery would be better as sured and the receivers would give more heed to sealed letter Very properly the company desired to get all it could out of Uncle Sam who agrees to carry a letter weighing an ounce for two cents. These letters were so devised that when they were weighed in at the postoffice they called for just exactly two cents each. the scales being on perfect balance. Every one of them that went to the eastern states was held up for post age and another stamp had to be fur nished. It amounted to a consider able sum, beside the trouble and de- lay. It was all on account of the eli mate When the letters reached the east they absorbed just enough of the moisture to tip the scales.
 This 4s another victory for the weather bureau which harps on the humidity of the eastern atmosphere and the lack of 1t in Arizona. Some people profess not to put great deal of stock in the theory but when it grips their pocketbooks at the post office there is nothing to do but sub init
