Old Trails Interesting.
The old Indian trails received con-
siderable attention by the party:
they could be found without effort.
In one place eleven distinct trails with
nine others meeting them at an angle
were found. Laths were stuck up by
DR.. Libby so that each OF the trail was
marked off and a photograph taken of
them. The peculiar mark OF the trail
is that 1T Is covered with short buffalo
grass and In this way 1t is easily found.
The party brought back to Bismarck
with them a large number of Indian
mortars which were used by the wom-
en- in preparing the food OF the In
dians. Some unusually fine specimens
were picked up during the trip. The
Mandans made an interesting study
from the fact that they are the most
highly civilized of the Indian tribes.
Their sign, the rubbing together of
the hands to illustrate the Smelling of
corn, gave them the name of corn
shelters and shows that they wera far

tribes were equally primitive. More

The horses hoofs dug up the

The job will not be accepted

COURT MAY ANNUl
GUGGENHE|M
DIVORCE
(By United Press Leased Wire.

CHICAGO, June 9-Judge Hon
ore yesterday ordered William
Guggenheim of the smelter trust
and Grace Guggenheim, his d.
vorced wife, to show cause why
their divorce, granted in Chicago
courts in 1901, should not be set
aside.
The former wife declares the
divorce was obtained by fraud
practiced on the court, In that
neither were residents of the state
at the time and that the Guggen-
helm family, by misrepresenta-
tions, induced her to sue for di-
vorce.
Later Mrs. Guggenheim married
in New York but this marriage
was set aside by a court in France
on the grounds that the divorce
from Guggenheim in Chicago was
void.

The answer l got from Louis j.
Swift, president of the Swift Pack

anyone else would get, IL he were
to go into Swift's presence and ask
him why beefsteak cost SO much.
1t was a fair little chat I had
with Swift, even IL it did wind up
with his getting mad. In fact, I
rather suspected he would get
mad. Little Journeys to the
Homes of the Trust Owners never
do end happily when you ask for
the truth.
Swift saw me at his home. That
was better than at the office,

LOUIS j. SWIFT, WHO is NOT TO BE BOTHERED"

WINGED he took new tack. He
blamed your wife and my mother
for the high price of beefsteak.
Listen to what he said:
Its the fault of American
women that beefsteak costs sc
much. They buy beefsteak because
it's the easiest to cook. They run
around so much they don't want
to stay home long enough to cook
the less choice pieces of meat.
81 found this out from an insti-
tuition in Darien, Conn.,, where we
are having tests of meat-cooking
made. AS the packers were being
blamed for the high prices we had
to find out ourselves why beefsteaB
costs so much and why the demand
for it was so great.
"Our tests show that the pack
ers must fall back on the fireless
cooker for relief. With this cook
Ier a woman can place-one of the
less choice pieces of meat to cook
ing and go away and leave 1t. She
won't have to stay home while IL
cooks.
"At Darien, now, our experts is
devising modes of cooking the
pieces of meat that the public
thinks is almost UNBEATABLE.
"In this way we hope to get the
public off the beefsteak plane after
awhile.
"Only 26 per cent Of each ami
NAL we kill is considered good
enough to eat by the average citi-
zen. The rest of the meat the pub
lie doesn't demand. Out of this
26 per cent that the American
housewives do demand, the pack
ers have to get so per cent of
what they paid for the steer. Thus,
If we pay 500 for a steer. we have
to sell 26 per cent of its weight
for $50. The other "a per cent,
which is in small demand because
housewives think 1t Is so hard
to cook, brings the other $50 and
the small profit. And do you
know how small this profit is? II
amounts to 8 cents on each dollar
paid for the steer, or SO for a
500 steer"
And this is what the meat man
says to you when you ask why
meat is so high.

Soon after the parties received

An investigation of the bridge

for the money to be placed in.
Although the place was carefully
watched for several days and
nights, no one was caught.

STRANGE MEDLEY OF SOUNDS
IN HOUSE Of REPRESENT AT|vES

house assemblies. Who ever de-
signed the legislative hall perpe-
trated an accoustical joke, for no
where outside of a topsy turvey
house on a Midway can be found
hall with SO puzzling and con-
flicting echoes.
Not alone are the echoes and
reverberations annoying to the
law makers, but they are debarred
from confidential whispers by rea-
son of the fact taht whispers
carry to all parts of the room and
person 40 feet distant frequent
ly can hear the low murmurs more
distinctly than he into whose at
tentive ear they are poured.
Frequently a member has a mo-
ment's private conversation with
his colleague in the next chair.
He expresses his opinion of some
other member or measure of in
terest to another in the opposite
side of the house. His communi-
cation, by a sort of wireless goes
across intervening seats and some
one member hers teh CONVERSE
ton as plainly as If he had his
ear to a telephone.
The confliction of echoes makes
1t utterly impossible for many of
the members to her what is 60
ing on. The reading clerks voice,
try as he may, is mere tumble
of sounds and the speakers rul-
ings unintelligible.
All sorts of wire and bunting
devices are strung along the walls
and from the ceilings but appar-
emily they do nothing except vary
the vagaries of sound and the best
the members can do is to grin and
bear 1t.
A few look upon this condition
as a blessing on the grounds that
much is said within the hall, the
losing of which damages no one.
