HISTORICAL EXPEDITION
AND WORK Being DONE

Stanton, the county seat of Mercer
county. It was a twenty-five mile
drive up hill and down, back and
forth, around miniature horseshoe
curves straight west and then nearly
straight east. At noon we dined in
festive style under the wagon box and
felt like travellers of an early time
There were no houses in sight and
scarcely any trees. We knew we
were in western Dakota.
We arrived in Stanton at o'clesk,
pitched camp for the first time,
bought some provisions and started
to live in a true camp way. Luckily
we were near a base of supplies and
had access of very good water SO
we were glad to welcome a new
member to the party, A. B. Stout,
of Wisconsin University.
Stanton Is a growing little town
of eighty-five people. New buildings
are going up here, the Northern
Pacific railroad is coming through
before long and the prospects are
bright. The historical society has
reason to be grateful to the people
of Stanton who have never failed to
show every courtesy and interest in
the work. The state has reason to
be pleased with the public spirit of
the people who are anxious to have
the interesting and historic Indian
village sites preserved for future
time. Located at the junction of
the historic Knife and Missouri riv-
'ers, Stanton's location is an excellent
one and the people of this part of
the state have reason to expect much
from town and people.
OF course we are prone to dislike
the animal part of the community,
as our friend St. Amour will agree
a horse nearly chewed up the tent
one morning, cow frequently drinks
up the water, the pigs occasionally
investigate our circumstances, the
lumberman's team missed the tent
about a yard a short while ago when
it ran away, leaving lots Of "two-by-
tours" in charge of the historical
society. Notwithstanding the draw
backs which really give more pleas
ure than pain, we are sorry to leave
this part of the Missouri slope.
To mention the camp experiences
would be merely to repeat many Of
the commonplace things found where
ever men have canvas for a roof and
cardboard for a plate. But how
many campers have ever gone swim
ming in the waters Of the Knife,
where a comparatively few years ago
Grosventres, Arikaras, Crows and
perhaps some wondering Sioux
tossed their arrows back and forth
have been numberless buffalo bones
and teeth, together with Indian in
struments and tools scattered about
the villages where the tepee rings
are still plainly marked? r.
Our party is surveying, mapping,
and trying to preserve just such
places as these. With the aid Of
the Indians whom DR.. Libby has final
" secured, the stories of the Indians
and villages once so prominent in
a country where white men are just
beginning to settle, will be preserved.
In later article aaaaaaaaaaashrd
In later article more will be said
of the real work being carried on
in unearthing an ancient history
which North Dakota may claim as
her own. 49, .n.7+ .+@. w..

The following is a description OF
the camping and surveying trip un-
dertaken by members of the force
of the State Historical Society:
At 7 o'clock on the morning of
August End, the state historical ex-
pedition set out from Bismarck. DR..
Libby Of the State University, headed
the party. H. C. Fish, of Bismarck
Francis Templeton of Grand Forks,
Jas. St. Amour and William Green
leaf, of the university, made up the
remainder of the party.
From Bismarck northward to
Washburn, along the Missouri, was
the first distance to be covered. A
500 train. one of the freight and
passenger kind, carried us slowly but
at least surely to our destination.
at Washburn all but DIR. Libby left
the train. The latter continued to
Garrison where he took team into
the Fort Berthold reservation to look
for Indians to act as guides and in.
terpreters.
Unfortunately for the other mem.
bers of the party the freight boat
on the river which was to accom-.
modate us with a place to stand was
delayed a few days, so the experience
of going abroad on the Missouri as
roustabOuts was denied us.
Finding a farmer of kindly nature
the owner of a good team of hores,
we decided to spend the night at
his farm and drive from there to
Stanton the next day. AS good for
tune would have it the rancher had
purchased new binder, or rather
an old one rejuvenated, which was
to be carried to his farm on a wagon.
Two members Of the party accom-
panied the farmer and his binder on
their way, picking up such parts of
the binder as the jolting wagon left
upon the road, having a good visit
with the owner who was evidently
accustomed to rejuvenated binders
and who went his way rejoicing. An
other of us rode out on a load of
wheat. still another rode with the
county surveyor. ALI had the ex-
perience of crossing the ferry on the
Missouri. After much effort, a few
good natur-d jokes and plenty OF
language conducive Of moving a boat
load, the three loads were all depos-
tied on the other side of the river.
To be sure, the binder nearly landed
in ditch, but as it didn't the voyage
was without accident.
We did, indeed, spend the night
on the ranch. The "brick house"
which the rancher had mentioned
being a small log cabin, we were
allowed to put our cots in the new
granary where we slept pleasantly.
At least when we slept it was
pleasantly. OF course even men en-
gagged in historical research find the
first night out a little wakeful. es-
pecially when the COWS are keeping
watch before the door with cowbells
on their necks, cowbells intended to
be heard, and when the hens come
with the first rays Of dawn and be-
gin Investigating the.cots and clothes
of the strangers. But, all things con
sidered, we were in happy frame
of mind when we went in to eat a
good farm breakfast Of meat and
potatoes and corn and coffee and
sauce and everything q city man is
expected to take IN three meals in
stead one. $ II .z .s2 s% E I
