such an extraordinary development in the
arid portions Of California. Oregon, and
Washington through irrigation, the har-
Messing of water power. the building of
railroads and the employment Of modern
methods Of agriculture and industry,
that there Is good reason to believe that
the corresponding sections Of Mexico,
Central America, Colombia, Ecuador. and
Peru, Bolivia, and Chile will experience
a like progress and prosperity when SIM
liar methods have been employed in them.
What already, moreover. has been done
and is being done in such a remarkable
land as Chile Is strong evidence Of a great
future, Chile, Located almost entirely
in the south temperate zone, has a Pa
cifc Coast line which has nearly double
the frontage on the ocean that the
United States proper has, not including
Alaska; and 1t has the same diversity of
climate and resources! Covering an area
nearly equal to that Of California, Ore
gon, and Washington combined, or more
than that Of Texas, It Is improving its
ports and building railroads from them
into the interior which, in turn, are being
connected by q great longitudinal line.
All this construction Is Transforming its
economic development. From the forest

arid nitrate sections Of the north, Chile

CASHIERS ASSAILANT
Is DECLARED Sane

Dickinson, N. d., Aug. II, - Fred
Nolte was arrested and jailed in
Dickinson, after showing two
automatic pistols into the face of r.
H. Johnson, cashier Of the First Ma
ttonal bank in this city, and demand
ing that the cashier return him a
check, about which Mr.. Johnson knew
nothing at the time.
1t was then thought Nolte had COM
mttted an insane act, and that he
would, in all probability be brought
before authorities whose duties requir-
ed them to pass on the sanity of per-
sons committing acts such as Notes
Later Nolte appeared before the
Dun conunty insanity board, in ses.
sion at Manning, and was decided by
that board to be sane, In anticipation
Of that decision, J.. p. Cain, the states

Dunn county officials to hold Nolte

Nolte re-arrested at Manning and with
Deputy Sheriff Ellis Hoist brought
him to Dickinson and placed him In
Jail under the charge of an assault
with dangerous weapons.
In view Of the decision Of the Dunn
county board, it is probable that Note
will be given q hearing on the assault
charge, in Judge Folsom's court, and
further examination by the insanity
board of Stark county is contemplated
before Nolt's case is definitely dis
posed of.

WHITES ON RESERVATION
ARE ASKING FOR SCHOOLS

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 17.-Because
their children are growing up without
the slightest advantage of rural
schools and rural school training, Set
tiers on the Standing Rock Indian
Preservation directly south from Morton
icounty are again launching a campaign
ito create a county out Of the reserva-
Etion or to have it annexed to Morton
kcounty.
/ In case this fails Governor Hanna
khas promised his support to a bill in
the next legislature fostering a state
appropriation for the conduct Of a
ipublic school system throughout this

These important subjects were dis

BOYS LEG LACERATED
IN BINDER SICKLE

Jud, N. D., Aug. 17.-An accident
that nearly resulted in a terrible
tragedy occurred at the farm Of Joh.4
Elhard last Friday. Mr.. Elhard and
his two sons. were hitching the team
to a binder and getting ready to go to
the field. The two boys, aged about
10 and IL years, were in front of the
machine, while Mr.. Elhard was behind
fixing one of the aprons. One of the
horses became frightened and started
suddenly, causing all the horses to do
the ame The machine was in gear
and the boys were caught. The older
boy was caught in the sickle and was
terribly lacerated. One leg being bad
ly cut from below the knee and the
full length of the thigh. Fortunately
the cuts are not transverse to the
muscle fibers and therefore no tendons
were cut. But the flesh has been torn
from the bone.

for Mr.. Martin whereby he can take
legal steps for the examination of the
reservation to Morton county. This
is a complicated legal process and
necessitates the circulation Of many
petitions, but Mr.. Martin declares
the people of his neighborhood, as in
deed all through the reservation set
Elements, are very eager for some
sort of a change. He is confident that
action along one or the other plans
mentioned will be taken within a
very short time, as the absolute nom
existence of public schools cannot go
on much longer.
Three or four years ago an attempt
was made to create q county out of
the reservation land, but this failed
chiefly because Of the inordinate
scrapping for the location of the
county seat. Fort Yates and Self
ridge wanted the honor and they
fought so hard neither captured it.
This time the people are in dead
earnest, and no factional strifes are
going on to interfere with the plans.

over a difference about settlement for
a wagon which had been burned for
Meihry by Eli, after the former had
saved a team of horses for Eli.
Mohamet Meihry, a brother of Sam
and A. j. Tanner were up as witness

get the thing settled, although he told
Eli that the state had taken the mat

unless 1t were willing. Eli was ready
to settle before then.
