The comparative bank statement
furnished by the state examiners Of
fice is a pretty good document as
indicating the growth Of financial re-
sources of the state. The number of
banks in the state has increased in
the year covered by the comparative
statement from 421 to 446. The total
resources of the banks have increased
from $29, O00, 900 to &39, O0O, 900, an in
crease of ten million dollars and the
total deposits ha evincreased from
$50, O0O, 900 to $4,000, 900 or more, or
an increase Of $4,000, 900 in depos-
its. This includes only the state
banks, and the national banks, which
carry a large share of the funds of
the people of the state will no doubt
make a similar showing.

Curator Fish and Secretary Libby OF
the state historical society, returned
Friday afternoon from a trip to Fort
Berthold reservation, and one of the
most valuable trips that has even been
taken. The journey was for the pur-
pose OF gathering data for the publ
cations of the society.
A 30O-mile trip, was made from
Garrison and the entire distance COW
cred by team or on foot. The gen.
tlemen were accompanied by a Gros-
ventre Indian, Foolish Bear, who was
taken along as guide. He was thor
oughly familiar with every part of
the country visited and proved a val
liable member of the party, having
been in earlier days hunter and
trapper in the district covered by the
journey.
A number of old villages were To-
Gated on the upper Shell river and the
Little Knife, and all of them were
in good state of preservation, the
rings and foundations for the build
ings being very plainly marked.
Great Crossing on the Missouri,
was also visited. This is one of the
places that was used for b,.ffalo hunt
ing by the Indians. The butte and
the river form a natural corral where
the animals were driven and the
hunters shot them from the top of one
of the adjacent buttes.
There is an interesting story con-
nected with one of the villages found
near the Grand Crossing. It seems
that in the early days there were
four brothers who had committed a
murder and were exiled by their trib-
esmen, and with their families they
moved to a lonesome butte where
they established village which fin
ally grew hatcher large proportions,
the rings that are now visible showing
that there was at least sixteen hous-
es. There is a sort of monument
there at the present time, and, some
Indian or trader and trapper had TAX
en- an old Winchester rifle and fixed 1t
up as a sort OF a reminder of what
the nature of the village was and it
has remained there for a. number of
years, even the curio hunters having
respect for 1t. y<!, 1

TO CONSERVE OUR RESOURCES.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: De-
claring that the administration will
give attention to the protection of
the country's natural resources.
President Taft says: "The necessity
for a comprehensive and systematic
improvement of our waterways, the
preservation of our soil and of our
forests, the securing from monopo-
listic private appropriation the power
in navigable streams, the retention
of the undisposed coal lands of the
government from complete aliena-
tion-all these matters are vitality
important to the people of the United
States"
This means that the work started
by President Roosevelt WILDE pushed
by his successor. The people are
glad of this. Although the govern
ment's income for 1909 will be about
500, 100000 snort of its outgo, with
a prospect that the deficit will con-
tinue for year or two longer under
the most favorable conditions; the
expenditure of few millions of dol-
lars a year for the protection and
extension of the country's natural
elements of wealth would be a wise
outlay. In the long run it would
bring in many times the cost. No
other country in the world was ever
so magnificently endowed with great
forests. with vast deposits Of coal,
iron, copper, and othe minerals, and
with great navigable rivers. No
other country, however, has ever
wasted its patrimony on anything
like the scale which has been seen
here. But, as in the case of private
spendthrifts. the, nation has at least
been confronted with a day of reck-
oning.

signed in 1862, threw the public lands
open to settlers at nominal figures.

words of the old song, erich enough
to give us all farm" But at length
the great bulk of the arabic land was
exhausted. Then came the ma
tional irrigation law, signed by
Roosevelt in 1902, under which a new
empire is being opened for home
builders. This work is to be supple
by the protection of the for
ests, the deepening and widening Of
the navigable streams. and the saw
ing of the. mineral resources on the
public lands for the benefit of the
people of future ages. It is a large
and important task. Congress will
enact the legislation un-
der which this great work for the
benefit Of the country can be per-
formed. This is one of the greatest
measures Of public policy which is
likely to come up during the Taft

OLD Time BASEBALL.

shall never forget the good times
] used to have. Our principal sport was
to play ball. but not the kind known
as baseball now. That was not heard
Of ut that time. In the old style game
we had four stakes, which answered
for bases. about four feet high and
fifty feet apart. We had a catcher
and a man TO throw the ball. similar
to the pitcher of today The batter
could use fiat bat or anything he
wished. The ball was quite soft, and
when 1t was thrown the batter could
hit it in any direction he might wish
If he wanted to knock it backward
he had that privilege. If he hit the
ball he had to run to the first stake,
just the same as we run to the first
base now. If the ball was caught he
was out. but in case it went on the
ground and he started to run around
the bases the man that got hold of tha
ball could throw 1t at him. and IL he
could only hit him it put him out of
the game.-George E. Keith in Hun
