was about leaving Japan for Korea to
write a series of letters about that coun-

Korea, and he had the welfare of the
Koreans greatly at heart. He asked me

about himself and his country, and also
about Korea and other matters relationg

former sentiments relating to the United

the White House, and he expressed the
greatest admiration and regard for him.
Mr.. Roosevelt had sent him photograph

portrait size and framed. He had one Of
his servants bring him the framed picture

before us so that we had Theodore

Ito emphatically said that the mission Of
his nation was peace rather than war. He
hoped that Japan would engage in trad

thought that 1t had situation In the far
east compared to that which England has

20 years ago at the house of the prince

premier and acted as such during the
war with China, which occurred shortly
after my talk. My second interview wiki

convenient for inspection, so that the
purchaser can see just what he is buy

He is entitled to pay for this service
the same as the man In charge of the

entitled to. / am looking at this in the
same light as that of farmers owning
a cooperative store and being COMPEL

One Argument Lame.
Oftentimes the argument Ia present
ed that the farmer should trade at
home, because the home merchant
pays taxes in the county, and that he
aids in building the schools, the
churches, etc.
This argument is lame, because the
farmer would just as soon pay a little
less for goods, and use what he can
save to improve his farmstead instead
of paying additional profit so that the
merchant can handle the surplus as he
elects.
/ The home market, of course, should
! be considered; but that can be
handled only by the farmers them

earth, affords one of the most inter-
esting fields of investigation in geol-
ogy. The remains occur as fossil
bones, in places whole skeletons be-
ing preserved embedded in the rock,
but more commonly isolated bones are
fund. The study Of such remains,
however, has been brought down to
so fine point that from single foot
bone or portion Of the skull it may
be possible for the experienced
paleontologist to identify the particu-
lar type or reptile of which it formed
a part. Biologists are diligent in
their search for these remains, for to
them they have much the significance
that the cusps of horses teeth have
to the horseman. The types varied in
different geologic periods, so that as
a rule, by determining the type Of life
represented by the fossil remains the
relative age of the rock is ascertained.
All fossils collected by members of
the United States Geological Survey
are taken to Washington and, after
serving their purpose in determining
the age of the rocks from which they
came, are sent to the National Mus
cum, where many are placed on ex-
hibition.
The United States Geological Sur
vey is also investigating the water re-
sources of North Dakota with special
reference to the flow Of surface wa
ters. For this purpose gaging sta
tions are maintained on Cannon-ball
River at Stevenson, on the North
Fork of Grand River at Haley, on
Heart River at Richardton, on Knife
River at Broncho, on Mouse River at
Minot, on Pembina River at Neche.
and on Red River at Fargo and Grand
Forks.
The first four stations are in the
Missouri River basin, the others in
the Hudson Bay basin. The station
at Stevenson is maintained is coopera-
tion with the Indian Office, the other
stations are maintained entirely by
the Geological Survey. At these gag
ing stations the height or stage of
the rivers is determined each day by
local observers and at some stations
by automatic cages land measure
ments of the discharge of the streams
are made by Survey engineers. From
these data the quantity of water flow
ing past the stations is determined.
Stream-flow records find their great
est use in North Dakota in the de-
sign, construction, and maintenance
of power plants and irrigation pro-
jects, in river regulation, and in flood
control Such records are necessary
also in all problems in which the flow
of water is involved, such as those re-
lating to the classification of the pub
lie lands, Carey Act examinations,
municipal water supplies, stream pol
luton, water storage, seepage, and
land drainage.

CLASSIFYING LANDS, COLLECT
ING SKELETONS OF ANTEDI-
LUVIAN ANIMALS

The natural resources Of North Da-
kota are prime factors in it's indus
trial development and for this reason
the work of the United States Geo.
logical Survey in the State is always
a matter Of interest and Importance.
During the present field season the
Survey has been, at the request Of the
Office if Indian Affairs, geologically
examining and classifying the lands
of the Fort Berthold Indian Reserva-
ton. This work is being done by c..
NJ. Bauer and C. A. Bonine. Speci-
mems of the remarkable vertebrate
fossil animals found in this region are
also being collected for examination
by C. W. Gilmore, of the National
Museum. Detailed geologic mapping
of the Morton County Ignite field is
being prosecuted by E. R. Lloyd.
The Fort Berthold Indian Reserva-
tion is proving a good field for col
lecting fossil remains of the mammoth
reptiles which inhabited the earth just
prior to the time when mammal types
became dominant. These ancient ami
mails attained remarkable size, some
of them being more than 60 feet in
length. They were exceedingly di-
verse in habits and form; some lived
on flesh, others on vegetation. Some
were large and sluggish of movement,
others small and agile. Some flew
in the air, their great web-like exten-
sions, in some species a score of feet
from tip to tip, serving as wings,
others lived in the sea, and still 9TH

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB

Rev. F.. S. Shaw has closed con-
tract with the Mems Glee Club of the
University of North Dakota to give
a concert in Williston on their annual
tour of the state The Glee Club con-
sists of twenty four men under the di-
rection of Professor Norton who de-
lighted music lovers in the high school
course of last season. The concert
will be given during the spring re-
cess. Last year the club came as far
as Minot and for lack of some one to
take it up and push it here, did not
make Williston, although Mr.: Prebbie
a Williston boy was in the club. Mr.
Shaw being a University man took
the matter up with the manager and
was given an opportunity tc book the
club for this season. Williston is to
be congratulated on the prospect OF
this concert.

four pulled in he first went to the
rear of the train to get on, but a
brakeman was there with light, and
he then went to the front of the train
and got on the blind baggage. After
making all the investigation possible
and staying in that section as long
as he thought advisable sheriff Erick-
son brought the prisoner here to Jail.
Coroner Testified
DR.. o. E. Distad, coroner, was the
second witness. He was one of the
first at the scene of the tragedy also.
The coroner testified as to the location
of the farm and buildings and to the
finding of the two bodies. He also
testified to the location of the wounds
which caused the death of the woman
and girl. He said that in his opinion
death had been almost instantaneous,
as they were both shot through or near
the heart. He empanelled jury to
view the bodies.
brakes Horrible Discovery
The story told by J. H. Drake, a
neighbor who was first to discover the
murder, revealed narrowing exper-
ience. He said during his testimony
on the stand:-"I was coming home
