HAS MADE GOOD.
WiIIiston irrigation Project Is Pre-
nounced Highly Successful.

winston irrigation Project Is Pre-
nouneed Highly Successful.
Williston.-Th.e Williston irrigation
project is one of he few in the north
west and the only one in North Da-
kota, and for that reason the details
of its operation are Of particular in
terest to the people of the state.
The principal difficulties in the way
of the administration 'of the project, up
to the present time, have been the
change from the old methods Of dry
farming over the large tract of land,
to the new methods of intense cultiva-
ton under the irrigation system.
The engineering principles of the
Williston project are different from al
most any other irrigation project in
the United States. The water is taken
from the Missouri river, which is a
shifting channel and subject to num-
erous and sudden rises and falls in the
stage of water. To obviate these con-
ditions, floating barges have been plac-
ed In the river, with flexible pipes. The
barges remain in the river supporting
pumps by which the water is lifted.
Just now they are being taken out Of
the river in the same manner as a
steamboat, upon ways, to prevent in
jury Ia the spring rush Of ice.

Discovery Of Bones in csve Leads to
Above Conclusions.

Dickinson.-The discovery Of hui
man bones and what appears
to be the bones OF a horse and
parts Of saddle in the Cave Hills
country. $50 miles south OF Dickinson.
leads to the BELIEF that they are all that
remain Of Patrick Rau and his horse,
lost in the three days snow storm Of
March. 1894.
The companion Of Rau. Ed. Crawford,
was found in May of the same year
by searching party. The bones just
discovered were under cut bank
within a few miles OF where the re-
mains Of Crawford were found two
months after he had persisted.
When the boys set out from Dickin-
son the weather was fine and they
rode sixty miles the first day to the
Little Missouri Horse county ranch.
The next morning they left to make a
neighboring ranch fifty miles away.
The storm came up in the evening and
it is supposed they were late and lost
their way in the binding snow. Ben
jamin Rau, who lead the searching
party in 1894, is Of the opinion that
the bones just found are those Of his
brother

Authorities Tell " u che Nass

Bismarck. The statue recently nm.
yelled here TO the memory Of the In.
dian woman who guided the Lewis and
Clark expedition on part Of their
western journey, has been the occasion
Of much newspaper comment during
the past week. M 4.
State dispatches printed the name
OF the Indian woman in whose honor
the statue was erected as Aakakawea-
Indian authorities have questioned this
spelling, however, and q. r. Stein
brueck, adopted father Of Wolf Chief,
asserts his reasons for suggesting q
change in the spelling.
His direction az to the spelling and
pronunciation Of the Indian word fol-
lows:
For the spelling "Sakalxawea" we
have the authorities Of Rev. Mr.. Hall
Of Fort Berthold reservation, and a
man (probably Prof. G. q. Libby who
heard the Indians pronounce that name
Both these authorities are English
speaking men. The English language
has no Indian cultural sounds, and
Americans speaking the English lam
guage are not accustomed to and are
capable Of pronouncing the Indian
words correctly.
If the correct Indian sound Of the
name Of the Indian woman whose
statue stand in Bismarck shall be
known and preserved, can give it only
in the German spelling and pronuncia-
ton, as it was given to me repeatedly
until got it rightly Wolf Chief
and other Hidatsa Indians, of which
tribe and village the Indian woman re.
ferred to has been captive
! The name "Sakagchawia" Is COM
posed of two Hidatsa words.
The first "k" is right; the second
TX" as in the English pronunciation
and spelling. is wrong. The second "k'
Is to be sub: tituted by short "g'' al
in "gun," which is followed immediate.
ly by the German gutturaly sound "ch'
as in "Buch." or the German name
'Kach.' Let some German pronounce
it for you.
Hence the German spelling of "sak.
agchawia." The "i" as in all othe,
languages but the English, is pro.
nounced like the long English "ee.'
Every "a" is a broad, open. clear "a
as sounded in the English word "fath.
err" If you keep to that pronunciation
and you can get it by little practic,
you can get it right.

strange to the ears of most PEG.
pie to be told that the least
known portion of the earth is the
old Bible land of Arabia. 1t is,
however. true that the land which
many scholars believe was the home
of the Hebrews before they reached
the plain of Shinar, and which at diff
ferent times has been the seat of
great civilization, is now the darkest
part Of the earth, darker even than
any portion of Africa.
An immense country in size, Arabia
is as large as all of the United States
east Of the Mississippi river, or larger
than all Of the countries Of Europe
combined with the exception of Rus
sia and Scandinavia. That country Is
almost without rivers and until re-
Gently was without railroads. The
only ship which sails over the great
desert is the camel. A Journey along
the Red sea coast from Suez to Alden
takes eight days. from the Red sea to
the Persian gulf 40 days. or to follow
about the coast line of the country as
an Arab sometimes does. 1t is a jour.
nev Of whole year.
Travellers have frequently penetra-
ted the desert south Of Palestine or
crossed its northern part from Damas-
Gus to Bagdad. but there were but two
or three who succeed in reaching
the city Of Mecca and the South
Arabian city Of sana, which was the
home Of the queen of sheba. No
Christian has succeeded in traversing
the land from the north to the south.
Cause Of the Desert.
The general impression of the Ara
bian desert is vast sea of sand.
Quite to the contrary the surface of
the greater part Of It is almost as
hard and as smooth as floor. Along
the western and southern coasts there
are barren. rocky ranges raising their
peaks to the height of 5000 feet, but
most of the interior is a level plain Of
great fertility. It is a desert Just be.
cause Of the lack Of irrigation. After
the hard rains of winter vegetation
springs forth. making the dry places
look like flower gardens. Water may
be found in nearly every part Of the
desert by digging to sufficient depth.
Here and there 1t comes to the sur
face, forming an oasis about which a
cluster Of date palms grows. It is In
the larger Of these oasis that the des-
ert encampments are usually fixed.
In central Arabia where but two or
three white men have ever been,
there are parts of the desert which
are sandy. There the sand is Of a
reddish or orange color and lies In
belts many miles in width. Drifting
Just like snow. It changes its position
after every storm.
AS recompense to the desert
dweller for the poverty Of the parched
plains and sandy wastes. nature has
provided him with the strange mirage.
which is visible in nearly every part
Of the desert. Many kinds Of trees,
lakes, men and figures appear upon
the desert horizon. where the Arabs
know that only desert can exist.
Sometimes the mirage SENS so real
that the Arabs who are accustomed
to seeing It daily are deceived by It.
Hospitality TO Travellers.
In the desert, especially among the
tribal encampments, there are inns or
lodging places provided for travellers.

Americas Drinking Bill Grows.

The corporation tax law, passed as
n part of the tariff act of the present
Congress. has enriched the federal
treasury $26, 6,S72.21026. OF this amount,
approximately s2o,ooo.00O was collected
during the fiscal year 1910, and the re-
mainder subsequent to that date.
These figures are contained in the
annual report of the commissioner Of
internal revenue. and show that the
estimated returns under the corpora

They also furnish us with infOrma-
