HISTORIC HALF MOON
AND cLERM0HT PICTURE

A picture showing the Half Moon. the
boat which Henry Hudson used in his
discoveries and explorations. and the
Clermont. the first steamboat, as they
appeared in the Hudson-Fulton parade,
which started up the Hudson river On
September 25th. is shown elsewhere in
this paper today in the advertisement
of L. j. Dickinson & Son. This great
celebration, commemorating the dis
covery of the Hudson river and the in
yention of the steamboat, lasted for
eight days. ending today, October 2.
Hart Schaffner &. Marx, manufacturers
of fine clothing have issued this pic
ture. Their artist visited the repro
ductions of the two historic boats and
has shown them in a vivid and interest
ing picture.
The picture shows the passengers on
an ocean liner cheering the two odd
looking craft as they plow their way up
the river. The Ha]f Moon in the FORE
ground, shows the Dutch sailors return
ing the cheers in much the same manner
as they probably hailed the natives on
the island of Manhattan three hundred
years ago.
The little Clermont, shown in the
background, was able in its original
form to attain speed of five miles an
hour, according to Robert Fulton. the
inventor, with the wind blowing against
it all the way when it went up the
Hudson river hundred years ago. COM

faithful and persistent effort worked out
the idea until it began TO take definite
shape.
The women took an important part in
canvassing the city and creating q
favorable sentiment before the city
election was held. which made it pos.
sible to secure the Carneeie fund.
When correspondence was opened with
Andrew Csrneaie it was thought that
a SIS, 600 building would about meet
the city's needs; but before the matter
was voted upon by the citizens the
amount to be asked fol was reduced to
$12, 500. As a city is required to guar
antee perpetual yearly maintenance
fund Of ten per cent of the cost of the
building, it was thought that SIP, 500
would be as large an amount as the
citizens would feel justified in assum-
ing.
The library board decided to devote
$40. 800 to the building, reserving the
balance for furnishings.
Architeca Joseph B. Remer of Grand
Forks was asked to draw up plans and
specifications within the prescribed
limits, which was accordingly done.
Credit must be given to w. S. Russell
of this city, who finally completed the
plans and has had supervision of the
work of building.
The contract was let to Soules &
Butler, who finished the basement to
grade. last fall. Work was resumed
in the spring. and aside from the un.
avoidable delays while waiting fol-
material. has progressed steadily up to
the present time.
The building is located at the corner
of Second Avenue West and Third Street
north. In many respects the location is
ideal being not far, but sufficiently
removed from the business section
near the high and central grade schools
and easily accessible from all parts
of the city.

lawn and flowers to form one of the

AN INDIAN y.
TREATY
For Opening Berthold Reserva-
ton. Congressman L. B. Hanna
Participated in the Big
Pow-wow at Elbowoods. -

A Schafer dispatch of recent date
says What in all probability, will
be the last Of the great treaty conference
between the white and red men held
on the banks of the Missouri, took place
a few days ago when F. H. Abbott,
assistant United States commissioners of
Indian affairs, and Congressman Hanna
Of North Dakota visited Elbowoods, the
headquarters of the Fort Berthold reser-
vation in North Dakota. and conferred
with the chiefs. medicine men and big
braves of the Mandan, Rees and Gros
Ventres. relative to the opening of the
reservation next year.
The Indians received the big white
chiefs with show of friendlness and
treated with them in long powwow.
The officials were eiven places in the
center of large circle formed by the
redskins, who sat upon the ground.
putting out hugh clouds of smoke from
the long stemmed peace pipes.
Three young braves acted as inter-
prefers and repeated in chorus the words
of Chief Abbott. Their words were
received in stolid silence except for a
few grunts. One old camp chief tenn
porarily delayed the conference by
leaving the ring 10 kick his sqaw be-
cause she had not put enough tobacco
in his peace pipe and it had gone out
in the presence of the pale face chiefs.
At the close of Commissioner Abbott's
explanation of the terms of the treaty,
the chief of the Reds arose and spoke.
The chief of the fair headed Mandans
followed with long discourse. and
then came the closing speech by the
son of the great Chief Crow Fly High of
the Gros Ventres. The powwow then
broke up and the three chiefs withdrew
to hold solemn counsel They have not
yet made their decision. but it is be-
lieved they will consent to a surrender
of their lands.
There are only 1. 100 members of the
three tribes left. At one time they
were among the most numerous of the
Dacotahs and claimed a large part of
the upper Missouri valley as their hunt
ing grounds. Their numbers were greatly
reduced by the fierce att acks of the
Assiniboine Sioux the '.Red Devils of
the North.' and also by smallpox.
which killed them by the hundred about
the middle of the last century, At the
time of the Custer massacre their reser-
vation extended to Fort Buford on the
Montana line. After that most of it
was taken from them and they were
pushed back to the Missouri by the
soldiers, though until very recent years
they were permitted by the government
to hunt all through the western part of
North Dakota.
The three tribes have always been
peaceable. though they bitterly resented
the ruthless slaughter of the buffalos
which followed the building of the
Northern Pacific through the Dakotas.
If the chiefs accept the offer of the
government. every brave. squaw and
papoose will receive a quarter section
on both the east and west sides of the
Missouri, and be made rich by the sale
of the remainder of the several hundred
thousand acres of good land which now
comprises the reservation.
