structed as described by old travellers,
as Geo. Catlin, Prince Maximilian and
others. The circle for the floor of the
lodge was dug about one foot deep
and leveled. The spare ground was
thrown outside the ring. Posts were
set in a circle as supports for the wall
and the ends Of the roofpoles about
four to five feet from the outer ring,
and were connected on top by cross
beams. Against these beams poles
were leaned slanting, thus forming the
wall, not six inches apart to be daub-
ed with mud. but as tight together as
the shape of those poles would per-
init. The statement In the Tribune
is wrong. The cracks were filled with
willows up and down. Then the whole
was covered with grass, and sod next,
and finally with coat OF clay to make
the wall tight and shed the water.

This is no guesswork, but was learned

Mt sharing basis which makes work at
tractive to skilled men,
The Monson Trunk Co. is one of the
thriving industries of Fargo. 1t is
supplying a large amount OF goods
much in demand in this section OF the
country especially those made to or
der trunks and sample cases demand
ed by the numerous travelling men who
represent the wholesale and manufac-
turing houses of the city. A special
feature added some time ago has pro-
ven a great success in connection with
this business. That is the making of
shipping cases and boxes also used ex-
tensively by the jobbing concerns and
factories.
| This manufacturing establishment
has been developing since 1882, when
John Monson came to the city and en-
gagged in the shoe and trunk business.
At that time he had the object in view
of starting a trunk factory as soon as
the country was sufficiently developed
to warrant It,
During the fire of 1893 the shoe and
trunk store was burned, but imme-
fdiately Mr.. Monson re-established
himself in the business and continued
until 1900 when he disposed of the shoe
business and followed out his plan of
establishing the trunk factory. Since
then the institution has had a steady
growth until, at the present time it is
one of the leading manufacturing con-
Germs of the city.
Incorporated in 1907.
II was in 1907 that the business was
incorporated. This was done with a
view OF making the business a profit
sharing one with the employees OF the
factory. This was departure in
manufacturing In Fargo and has pro-
ven very gratifying. 1t assures high
standard of goods which has won the
corporation o reputation all over this
section Of the country.
Up to the present time little atten-
tion has been paid to the jobbing busi-
nesg-most of the products being re-
! tailed In Fargo. However 1t is the
intention of Mr.. Monson to put ira
yelling salesman on the road to cover
the contiguous territory. A catalogue
is being printed at the present time
and will be ready for distribution to
the trade within a. short time
1t was In 1900 that Mr.. Monson saw
good opening for the establishment
OF box factory. After confering with
the jobbers and manufacturers OF Far
go he opened UP the plant in a small
way. The demand, however, was so
great for this class of goods that IL
was only short time until an entirely
new equipment OF machinery was In
stalled to add capacity to the plant.

Some Interesting Facts Connected With the
Growth and Development Of the Flour Mills,
Mattress Trunk and Box Factories Of Fargo

Fargo's mills grind considerably over
100000 bushels of wheat annually. 1t
is the best grain market in the state OF
North Dakota, and pays higher prices
than are given elsewhere.
Despite the fact that Fargo only has
one large mill, the town has become
one of the best coarse grain markets
In the state. Each year between $4,000
and 100000 bushels of wheat are
brought into Fargo by teams. The two
mills in Moorhead also get q share on
the wheat Of the surrounding country,
raising the total amount to between
$4,000 and 100000 bushels hauled in
by the farmers each year. Moorhead
ls taken into consideration In this mat.
ter, as the two towns are often classed
together In this business. and great
portion OF the farmers bringing grain
to the Moorhead mills do a consider
able portion Of their shopping in Fargo.
As D consequence these manufacture
ing concerns bring a vast amount Of
business to the retail merchants OF the
city. These mills have been a great
factor In the development Of the city.
One OF the notable things about the

a.. HISTORY. ~s.-

Mandan, N. D.. May 25.-There is a
report published in several papers of
our state about Curator Fish and
Surveyor Kiebert surveying some an
cient Indian village sites along the
Missouri river. The site alluded to in
The Bismarck Tribune, as the origin
OF the report, has been under cultiva-
ton for several years now and is
nearly extinct. r. r. Steinbrueck of
Mandan located that village site, as
plored 1t before its destruction. He
calls it absolutely an Arikara Indian
village. He an authority on matters
archaeological or historical in the
Missouri field of North Dakota. states
that this village has been occupied by
the Arikara only. The 'ArilSara are
branch of the Pawnees. 1t was
inhabited at time, when the Man
dams and Arikara were on friendly
terms and lived together, or lived in
separate villages, though in close
proximity, till they quarreled and sep
arated, the Mandans moving north
ward and the Arikara south, across
the Cannon Ball river, about twenty
years prior to Lewis and Clarke's ex-
petition The nearest ancient village
to the one lately surveyed by Kiebert
and Fish, is Mandan village, about
seven miles up the river. The latter
one was decidedly Mandan. Still
some Arikara families lived there
with the Mandans says Steinbrueck,
who is the best posted man con-
corning the Missouri slope. That viii
Iage site. little above the old and
original Fort A. Lincoln, was secured
by Steinbrueck's efforts, with the aid
of Hansbrough, Marshall and Gronna,
for the State Historical society Of
North Dakota, and was surveyed by
Steinbrueck and plated, although no
reports In the papers heralded the
proceedings
The round earth lodges, mentioned
in The Tribune article, have been the
old customary and essentially similar
habiations of the three tribes--the
Mandans, the Arikara and the Hi-

HARTRIDGE SAYS He
SPENT 100000 TO PROTECT
THAW's REPUTATION.

New York, May 2S.---An affidavit was

aside from the good prices paid for
the grain. This buying the raw ma
terial directly from the farmer without
elevator charges allows the mill to
make the best product at minimum
cost.
Another Notable Institution.
Fargo's manufacturing covers a wide
scope. Almost everything for use in
the daily lives OF the people of the city
or the state is made here-articles
which are necessities, and therefore In
great demand.
Among the institutions which turn
out these necessities is the mattress
factory OF McHose & Pardoe-one OF
the largest manufacturing concerns of
the city. In this, the fourth year In
business In Fargo, the institution has
doubled In size and business. 1t an
nually turns out large numbers of mat
tresses and bed springs, which reach
all parts OF North Dakota, western
Minnesota and eastern Montana.
1t employees fifteen people constantly
These are paid a large annual salary,
most of which rinds it's way into cireu-
lation In Fargo. Many Of the ernpioye;,
are men of families, ard number of
them own their own homes In the city,
adding to the general prosperity.

among the progressive, boosting buai-
ness men which have made Fargo
noted as the biggest little city in the

experienced, having done about twenty
years practical work In the making of
mattresses and woven wire springs.

with the institutions of the east. They
had confidence in the town. That their
trust was well placed has been fully
evidenced by the fact that they have
survived, in notable way, in a fight
with eastern manufacturing concerns
operated in Fargo.
In fact they have done so well al
the business that an increase in the
capacity of the plant is necessary. A
new building will be constructed. All

and the firm will also do a jobbins
business in furniture.

large floor space there Is mu..l lack ot

The machinery used In this factory
is Of the newest make-some not to be
equaled west of Chicago. The facili
ties are such that the cost of making
Of these goods has been reduced to the
minimum. In fact the company has
demonstrated TO the dealers that goods
made in. Fargo is much cheaper than
that to be secured elsewhere 1t has
been this ability to undersell eastern
competitors and the fact that the best
quality Of goods is made that has built
up the corporations business In ali
parts of the northwest
Bed mattresses of various kinds and
bed springs OF woven wire are the
principal products turned out by the
factory. In addition a jobbing busi-
ness In bed clothing, of various kinds,
is also done. When the new quarters
OF the concern are occupied, the capa-
city Of the plant will be materially in
creased.
In fact the growth of the factory has
been most notable. It has a most
brilliant future before Ii and promises
to develop into one OF the largest
manufacturing institutions Of the en-

The movement, though occasionally
checked or retarded by commercial
crises, periods of business depression
or other causes, has been almost with
out exception upward. In only four
years. 1870, 1884, 1894 and 1902 was
the divorce rate for the country as a
whole lower than it was in the preced-
ing year The upward movement, al
though varying in intensity in differ
ent sections, has been general through
out the country.
Divorce is far more frequent in the
far western states than in the east.
Washington has a long lead, with Mon
tana a close second. Colorado is third.
Delaware has the fewest in proper
ton, with New York and New Jersey
next lowest.
1t is not easy to account for the
wide variations in the divorce rates
in different states, New York with only
sixty divorces to every 100000 mar
ried persons, and Washington with 523
in similar proportion. The results are
ences. The composition of the popu-
lation as regards race or nationality;
the proportion of immigrants, and the
countries from which they came; the
relative strength of the prevailing re-
ligions and particularly the strength
of the Roman Catholic faith; the va
riations in divorce laws and in the
procedure and practice of courts grant
ing divorce; the interstate migration
of population, either for the purpose
of obtaining a divorce or for other rea-
sons-all these, and doubtless many
more are factors which may affect the
figures.
The divorce rate is higher in the
United States than in any foreign
country, except Japan. Switzerland,
which has the highest rate in Europe,
has less than one-half our proportion.
According to the international figures
the number of divorces per one hun
dred thousand population is as fol
lows:
Japan, 215; United States, 49, Swift
zerland, 80; Saxony, 20; France, %;
Rumania, 90 Prussia, Is; Italy, g.;
England, 20; Austria, 1.
While definite data is not obtain
able, the government experts figure
that at the present rate in the United
States not fewer than one marriage in
every sixteen will be dissolved ulti-
mately by divorce, and it seems rea-
sonable to suppose, they add, that the
ratio is nearer one in twelve.
