OUTLET OF ANCIENT LAKE II
DISCOVERED
Surveying Party Finds Interesting
Data Of Prehistoric Lake

| Fargo, N. D., Oct. "a Two outlets
to ancient Lake Agassiz, which cover
ed q large portion of the Northwest in
prehistoric times have been discov-
cred by federal surveying party in
charge Of Prof Frank Leveret, Of the
University Of Michigan.
The discovery is regarded as inn
portant by geographers The old ont.
let to the lake, which was discovered
some thirty years ago, is in the south
eastern corner Of North Dakota, the
waters of which flowed through South
Dakota in the valley Of what is now
Lake Traverse This is likely the last
outlet of Lake Agassiz when it had
reached it's lowest stage.
Outlet near Crawford
The first Of the new outlets discov-
cred is in the vicinity of Crawford, S.
D., and the waters of the ancient lake
are believed to have flowed southwark
through the Jim valley. This is re-
garded as the chief outlet of the pre-
historic lake when it was at it's Sc
cond OF interme ediate stage.
The second outlet, which has just
been discovered is in the vicinity of
Hankinson, N. D. The waters of Lake
Agassiz are believed to have flowed
southwark through large coulee
which still shows the effects of the
erosions. The valley is now partially
occupied by Lake Elsie and Lake Han
kinson.
Just north of Hankinson the geolo-
gical party found gorge in which
the markings of the successive stages
of the great body of water stand forth
in detail. The gorge is a quarter Of
mile wide at the bottom, and a naf
mile wide at the top. It is 80 feet
deep.
The discovery of the three outle-s
solves several of the problems in con
nection with the historic lake. It.
accounts for the three beaches, show
ing different levels According TO
Professor .Leverett, the discovery also
proves that the level of the great lake
was higher than has been supposed
Professor Leverett bears a commits
sion from the federal government to
make q survey Of the territory once
occupied by Lake Agassiz. He is be-
ing assisted by Professor Herbert A..
Hard, Of the North Dakota Agricultur-
al college. The two scientists have
beaches in North Dakota and Mime
sofa.

A GREAT NEED OF THE WEST

| That one of the greatest needs Of
the Northwest is facilities whereby
the farmers can secure capital and
credit at more reasonable rates, is
the firm opinion of President F. Z.
McVey of the state university located
at Grand Forks. President McVey
spent the summer months studying
conditions in Germany, Denmark and
other European countries. In Den
mark, the farmers have co-operated
and are able to command capital at
not over 5 per cent. In discussing
this importnt subject President Nc
Vey said:
II am thoroughly convinced that
what our farmers in the northwest
need more than anything else is not
conservation of forests, nor increase
of fertility of the soil, nor even rota-
tion of crops, but better credit facili-
ties to secure capital at reasonable
rates with which to apply their la
bor to the land.
'Time was when cheap lands pro-
duced crops with little labor and cap
ita1. Under that condition the great
er part of this country was incorpcr-
ated into cultivated farms, of which
there are not far from 100000 home
steads. During the greater part Of
this process working capital has been
relatively too dear for liberal use.
Too much of what was available had
to take the fixed form of machinery to
meet the situation created by scarce
and high priced labor That situation
checked improvements, made growth
in intensive directions slower, and
caused many to cash in the !lnearned
increment coming from the improve
n1ent of the farm values, at time
when their residence on farms was
needed to check the rising prices Of
foodstuffs.
i Nothing is probably more funda-
mentally responsible for the heavy
increase III the cost OF living sshan
mortgages bearing from 5 per cent in
terest in the west and the so.1tn from
the early eighties to the middle Of the
nineties. Capital at reasonable loan
!, ing rates must lead the way back to
q the farm by putting the investor in
productive lands on something Of a
parity as a brother with the mer-
chant the manufactures, the railroad
and other corporations. That can
be done if the experience of Europe
J, is inteliigently applied, and until it is
!, done the premium on farm abandon
ment is apt to prevail, and high
prices with it. =
t Mrs. G. Wahlund and daughter In
geborg returned home last week from
an extended visit in Spring Lake and
} Minneapolis. Daughter Gladys re-
mains to stay with her sister in Min
!, lneapOlis.

AGRICULTURE IN HIGH SCHOOLS

! Y
be Three years ago by the Putnam Act
ten high schools and graded schools in
Mlnnes esota received annual state aid
tosfthe amount of $4,000 each. for the
estabh bhshment Of departments Of man
|ua training, agriculture, and home
economics. This we believe to be a
move along the line Of modern pro-
gress in education. The tendency at
present seems to be to make the
schools vital forces along the lines of
moA most interest to the community, and
it cert ainly seems but logical to put
in dur schools some Of the things that
the pupils will have to deal with when
they have left those schools.
In state in which agriculture is as
important as in Minnesota it would
seem to us perfectly logical to teach
in all Of the schools of the state some
thihg Of the principles of this funda-
mental industry. We believe. that it
is Quite as important for the city man
or woman to know something in re-
gard Ito the agriculture and country
life as it is for the man or woman in
the country to have general idea Of
the Industries and life of the people
throughout the country. It is a broad
sening, general, liberal education.
The 1911 Legislature added to the
firsk ten schools twenty more under
the Putnam Act and fifty or more ad-
diti0nal under the Lee-Benson Act, so
that during the past year there have
been between IS and 80 schools Civ
ing obstruction in agriculture and
other Industrial subjects. One of the
best things that these appropriation
shaKe accomplished is to encourage
and enable these IS schools to con
duct, during s to 16 weeks in the win
ter, short courses for which no en-
trance require are made This
has enabled these schools to give in
struction to the large body of boys
and girls somewhat mature in age who
have not had the advantage of regular
grade school or high school education
and who by lack of such training are
not equipped to enter the regular high
schools of the community and are
consequently, practically speaking,
barred from securing further educa-
ttisjn: Such boys and girls have been
enabled, by these acts, to get from six
to sixteen weeks Of good, practical in
struction which has Interested them
in further study and better equipped
them for the problems they must meet
as men and women. If these acts by
the Legislature should do nothing
more than to provide in each com
munity suitable Short Courses for the
boys and girls who have not had suit
able school advantages, and who
would otherwise be barred from our
public schools, they will certainly
have warranted the small expenditure
which they have entailed. A. D. Will

Baden Weller, Germany. Sept. "a
One Of Germany's brightest diplomats,

Baron Marshall Won Biederstein was
regarded as one Of the most accom-

the death of Bismarck was considered
Germany's strong man. The baron
stepped into the shoes OF Bismarck

coming. on April of that year, secre-
tary Of state for foreign affairs
In 1894 he became Prussian minister
Of state and three years later the en-
peror appointed him ambassador to
Turkey. He remained at CONSTANT
nople more than IA years and was often
called to Berlin to confer with the en-
peror, not only in regard to Turkish
affairs but in connection with Ger
many's general foreign policy. His
views were SO we'll liked at the court
that he was often mentioned for the i'm
perial chancellorship. The baron was
successful in maintaining
the influence Of Germany in ear-east-
ern affairs. and 1t is considered due to
his diplomacy that Germany's CONNER
cial standing in the Turkish empire is
so strong.
