ncles Of any kind. These camels,
which by the way are the homeliest
brutes ever hope to see, were out
lifted in exactly the same manner as
though they were to make journey
across the real Arabian Desert.
] guess that there is really very little
difference in the Arabian Desert and
pur own American Desert. At any
rate the Arabian Desert cannot be any
worse. There are miles and miles of
soft sand into which the feet sink and
when there is even the slightest wind,
the clouds of sand circulate about
moving figures and almost suffocate
one.
We moved out into the desert with
our caravan completely equipped as
though we were going to cross a real
big desert in earnest There were the
strings Of camels with their long,
scrawny necks bedizened with tinkling
bells and made gay by strips and
streamers Of gay colored cloths. We
had real Arabs to handle the camels
and those who rode on horseback had
genuine Arab horses Of the very finest
breed.

NEW ROCKFORD PLANS CAM
PAIGN TO ANNEX CAPITAL

New Rockford, N D., June 2S.-With
$4,000 raised as nucleus to which a
much larger amount is to be added,
New Rockford is about to launch a
strenuous campaign in every part of
the state for the removal of the state
capital from Bismarck to this place,
under the initiative provision.
1t is said that the boosters of New
Rockford are going to invade every
section of North Dakota in an attempt
to convince the people that New Rock
ford is the logical location for the state
capital and will ask them to sign pc.
titions to bring the matter to the vote
of the state.
New Rockford had bill before the
last legislature for the removal of the
capital to this place, but this bill failed
to bring results and now, it is said,
the New Rockford people are convinc-
ed that should the matter be brought
up under the initiative law, the re-
moval will be carried by good ma
jority. This, it is said, is the claim of
the New Rockford boosters, who have
been working quietly on the PROPOSE
ton since the adjournment of the leg
islature and are now about ready to
haoin active OnpratiOnS
New Rockford claims to be the most
centrally located town in the state, and
easily accessible from every section.
This, it is said, is especially true since
the completion of the Surrey line.
1t is also said here that the SIS 900
raised is just a small starter of vast
amount that will be raised here and at
various other points, that would bene-
fit by the removal of the capital to
New Rockford, and it is stated that the
campaign will begin in the near future
and will be carried on in vigorous
manner.

The pottery exhibit at the North Da
kota building at the San Francisco
exposition has so interested New
York lady of means, that when she
left the coast Tuesday evening she
headed for North Dakota and after
investigating carefully the clay re-
sources Of the state will establish a
pottery west of the Missouri river. In
order to fit herself for going into the
pottery business she will take full
course in ceramics at the school of
mines at Grand Forks. Thus one by
one the undeveloped resources of the
great state of North Dakota are being
brought to the front and utilized.

Arabian Nights Tale.

tanks containing thousands of gallons
of water. This was special provision

enormous wagons were hauled by 9
number of pairs of horses-sixteen OF

so that the wheels did not sink deeply

constructed for use on the desert. Be-
hind the big tank wagons came other
wagons loaded with tents, provisions

outfit.
Through the thoughtfulness of Mr.
Selig our provisions were not limited
to necessities. There were countless
additions to the ordinary larder, and
there was one huge wagon loaded with

Great Scott! but they're reckless

1t isn't, Lord knows, that we need

But hanging couple of dozen or SO
Would teach 'em respect for the

Hey, Hit 'er up, chauffeur; this pace

It isn't the fashion to heed laws!
So pull 'er wide open and let TIE
