EGYPTIANS ONCE
R0ANE||D PRA|R|ES
There is Evidence, at Least,
that They May Have been
in North Dakota. .

Bismarck, N. d. Dec, There ap-
pears to be some reason to believe that
at some time in. the early history Of
North Dakota, there was at least a
wandering band of Egyptians. A num-
ber Of years ago a Burleigh county
farmer unearthed a medal or peculiar
design and sent it to Curator Fish, of
the state historical society. This medal
had on one side an engraving Of the
Sphinx and in the back ground the re-
production Of the outlines of two pyr-
amids while on the reverse side Of the
copper medal there were signs and
symbols used by the Egyptians in the
early days and in the center an engrav-
ing which apparently represents one
of the Egyptian deities Now comes
Carl Greenberg Of Ignite, N. D. with
althe statement that he has found o
medal of similar make and design and
he has made a copy Of it on paper
and sent it to. Mr.. Fish with re-
quest for information regarding it's
nature and origin. Both of these
medals were found at considerable
depth under ground.

requirement being that he complete
the task within a single day-from sun
rise to sun down.
In carrying the colt, Jacobson threw
the animal across his shoulders. each

In this manner the colt was permitted
to rest on its belly most of the time.
During his ten mile jaunt Jacobson
rested 13 times. 1t required five and

complete the distance.

Y. M. C. A. Advance

The striking advance of the Y. M. c. A. just now is in the so-called industrial department. This department carries as- sociation work to- operatives in lumber l'and cotton mills, steel works and coal mines, and employs as far as possible students in colleges to do the work, al- ways under direction Of a trained secre- tary The student aim is both to get work done at as little cost as possible, and also to enlarge the sympathies and experience of men who are likely, later Tn life, to be employers of labor, and in control of industrial concerns.
 Associations report the remarkable ex- perience, now even to them, of lumber and mining companies approaching them With offers to erect buildings at their own cost in which to carry on association work. Within the past six months as many offers of this kind as associations could handle have come to them unso- licited. In the lumber districts of Mis- sissippi and Louisiana, of Idaho and Washington, of Minnisota and Maine, in the coal regions of West Virginia, Ken lucky, Ohio Missouri and in he cotton mills of South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, buildings costing s50o0 to S50,000 each have been opened in large numbers.

Investigating Emnloves

Episcopal and Lutheran committees are just now looking into conditions among American railway employees. The number or such employees runs into the hundreds Of thousands. and the duties of many of them is such that they are unable to enjoy religious privileges of any kind. The occasion of the naming of the com mittees was the offer made by the presi- dent of one of the largest of American railway systems to loan the use of rooms in stations, in offices for Christian serv- ices, and especially for educational classes. An offer was also made of trans portation for instructors going to classes.
 Tn England the railway mission is among the largest of Christian missions to industrial workers. The English refer to their railways as "lines,'' and so friends of the railway mission there call it "The Up-Line to Glory" Engineers. brakesmen, porters and every other class of employees come to the educational classes. Conferences were last year held at London, Liverpool. Sheffield. Cam bridge and five other centers, and tent campaigns carried on at Birmingham
 Glasgow, and Stoke-upon-Trent ravel- ing instructors are employed. whose transportation, like the hauling of chanel cars here. Is provided by the compsnies without charge.

 The chief feature of my equipment are the two sledges. These are my own Invention and are made of white ash and bound with rawhide thongs These sledges are equally good for land. ice or water travel The motorcycle wheels are placed exactly at the balance point. and each sledge can carry 800 pounds on the ground without fauguing the dogs. For ice and snow travel the wheels are removed and then each sledge will take up to 15O1 pounds. When we strike water, l have heavy oiled canvas covers that fit about the sledges and make them into boats, and they will carry a ton each. In fact, the only thing we cannot do with them Is turn them into aersplanes I wish we could do that
