Missouri River Freq. Over

The Missouri river at Fort Yates
this year froze over on December
18th, which is the latest date up to
which the river has been open with
the exception. of 1918, when the
river closed over on December Goth,
since 1874, from which time a re-
cord of the closing and opening Of
navigation on the river has been
kept by the U. S. Weather Bureau
at Bismarck.
The earliest closing Of navigation
on the river due to ice was Novem-
Der 2, 1899, while last year the clos,
ing was November 10Th, nearly 30
days earlier than this fall.
The record also bears out that
each fall the river closed over late,
the winter following was usually
short and mild. The present indi-
cations are that this will again be
the rule.
The following table herewith gives
some Of the early and late dntes on
which the river has frozen over sim
ce q record has been kept:

About Road Building

The Bismarck Daily Tribune Of

Col. C. C Covey, federal agent
and superintendent of the Standing
Rock Indian reservation, and j. A
Stiles, the we'll known cattleman
and county commissioner Of Sioux
county, visited the capital city yes
terday. .
Col. Coyey is good roads" ad-
vocate, and says that they are build
ing & number of good roads on the
Indian reservation. The work is
being done by the Indians. Sioux
county is furnishing all the culverts
necessary and is also building the
necessary bridges.
Over $40, 900 will be expended by
the federal government within the
next six months, improving the
roads on the reservation. An ex-
cellent graded road will be built
south to Mclaughlin, from Fort
Yates, and north to Cannonball and
Solen. The south road will connect
with the Yellowstone Trail, while
the north road will connect with the
main Morton county road and pro-
vide good highway from this city
and Mandan to Fort Yates.
This will also allow transcontin-
entail tourists to leave either the yell
lowstone Trail, which runs through
South Dakota. or the Red Trail
which runs through this city, and
change their route from one to the
other.
The new Agency hospital at Fort
Yates will be opened early in jan

new hospital is a model structure,
and was erected at the cost of ap-
proximate]y $4,000.

Th;. Year. Seed Corn Mus. Be Tested

This Years Seed Corn Must Be Tested
The earty frost this year caught
most of the seed corn, not only in
North Dakota but all over the coun-
try. For this reason it is of utmost
importance that all seed corn be
tested for 1916 planting. Next
seasons seed must be selected ear
by ear either by the farmer or for
him through the schools. In many
sections the country schools are CO.
operating in helping the children to
test seed corn. Testing seed corn
is simple matter. Anyone can do
it. The point is, that someone
must test it, if next seasons crop
is to be successful.
