Frank Fiske Writes

There is a great deal to be said
about the moving Of the county
seat from Fort Yates to Selfridgc.
That is to say, that from present
indications there will be a vast
amount of discussion about the re-
moval pro and con from now on
until the voters get out and get un-
der the proposition at the fall e]cc-
ton. 1t has been said, eve know
not what we do when we speak
Words" and words are grown so
false, am loath to prove reason
with them,: also, words arc like
leaves, and where they most abound
much fruit Of sense is rarely found. -
"Words, words, mere words, no
matter from the heart"
The county seat will move or it
will stay according as the voter say.
Therefore, gentlemen, guard we'll
your yerbosity. The people Of and
around Selfridge will vote for Self
ridge, that's $ patent, and the same
may be said of Fort Yates and her
people. The voters are. going to be
selfish in this matter, and will vote
for the location of the county seat
at the place which is most conven-
lent for them in all respects. Which
place that is remains for them to
decide. OF course the contending
towns have right to sing the prais-
cs Of their own localities, but scath-
ing announcement should be taboo.
1t will not make good advertising
for Sioux county. Nnd cut yat per
sona]ities, the cute accusations Of
concupiscence, kid, for it never did
do any good. If a mans character
must be detained in this fight, [ say
to ell with the county seat.
Zounds! l was never so be-
thump'd with words. since / first
called my brothers. father dad. -

Open Bids Saturday
For Yeal,llii,1g Steers
Bids Will Opened Tomorrow at Fo:t
Yates for 1000 Head Ycasiing
Steers for the Indians

Bids will be opened at Fort Yates
Saturday, April 10Th, for furnish
ing 1, 900 year]ing steers. Ii these
bids are not considered favorable
Superintendent Covey will leave
Saturday night for Ell Paso, Texas,
where he will meet II. F Long,
superintendent of live stock at large
for the Indian service, and proceed
to buy these steers in the open
market.
The plan for handling the steers
is to sell them at cost to Indians.
Each Indian will also pay 3 per
cent. interest on the cost of his
steers as they arc to be purchased
from the tribal fund drawing this
amount of interest in the treasury.
The Indians will be given thirty
months time in which to pay for
the cattle, and just before the cx-
piration Of this time, or in the fall
Of 1918, the steers will be sold.
1t is expected that the Indians
will realize large profit for their
work and care Of these cattle. Each
Indian is expected at the time of
sale to invest a large portion Of his
profit to other cattle.
If this plan proves success the
superintendent expects to experience
no trouble in obtaining funds next
year with which to buy all the steers
the Indians can handle.
This plan, together with the re-
imbursal hcifers the Indians arc
getting should in a few years re-
stock the reservation with cattle.
All that is needed to make it Sue
cess is industry and perseverance
on the part of the Indians and vigi-
lance on the part of the employees
having this work in charge.

years by Mrs. A. U. Ostrum and
daughters closed it's doors Saturday.
Easter services were held at the
Mission church Sunday by Rev.
Reed of Mclaughlin, and number
OF people from town were in atten-
dance.
j. A. Stiles returned Tuesday
from St. Paul, where he went last
week to attend a meeting of the
officers Of the Stiles Cattle Com
pany of which he is president. Err
nest King brought him up from
Mclaughlin.
Larry Cermack left Wednesday
for Solen where he is having a
blacksmith shop erected and as soon
as the building is completed will
strrt in business. The Pioneer
wishes him success in his new field
of cndcavor.
Dan Howard and wife returned
last Friday from Bismarck where
they had their infant daughter in
the hospital for several days. The
child was taken sick with an attack
of bronchitis but at this writing is
improving.
G. w. Hokanson made trip to
Selfridge Tuesday to meet G. f.
Ellis, a we'll known land man of
Mandan. Mr.. Hokanson is about
to close deal for tract of land
near Sclfridge. Dave Babbitt took

Berg e Holanson are busy this
week putting in counters and shelly
cs in the pool hall preparatory tc
putting in a stock Of groceries and
canned goods. This will be great
convenience for the people in this
end of town who are now obliged tc
go to the stores at the Agency for
every little grocery need.
j. Nj. Carignan, Jr., Miss Mar
garet Carignan and Miss Hermlna
| Witzlebcn returned from Bismarck
Wednesday. Jack has been in the
hospital there receiving treatment
for throat trouble and before coming
home purchased a new REQ automo'
bile which he drove down.
Two carloads Of implements were
unloaded at Mclaughlin this week
consisting mostly OF grain drills and
binders. These implements were
purchased by the government and
will be sold on the reimbursal plan.
1t has been found that many In
dams who desire to farm on small
scale have not sufficient funds with
which to purchase these large and
costly implements and it is this
class of Indians particularly that is
now being supplied. Two or three
men join together and are given two
seasons in which to meet the pay
ments, which will be thus easily
/ met.

BANDIT LEADER IS
STIRRING UP PEONS
Has Emissaries In Northern
Mexico Urging Resistance
to Americans
BY H. c. BOehme.

Omitted Press staff correspondent)
Douglas, Ariz Mar. 2l.-Francisco
Villa is battling the de facto govern
ment of Mexico and the United States
with propaganda.
Half a dozen Villistas have been exc
cuted by firing squads since the Colum-
bus affair. According to statements
made by arrested Villistas, already
much propaganda matter has permeated
the districts where Villa and Zapata are
popular
Miguel Vicente, colonel in the vii
la army, was arrested near Ell Paso by
United States authorities while spread
ing Villa literature.
Army officials here speaking unof
fiei0lly expressed the belief that Will
will hide out until the sentiments of
the poems has been sufficiently aroused
to cause a general uprising against
both Carranza and the invading Amer
leans.
Others declared that the fugitive has
retreated with his band of Followers
into the wild mountain passes of the
Sierra Madres, where he will make a
stand against the Americans, hoping to
gain the sympathy of the poems in that
way.
Carranza intelligence agents have un-
covered quantities of Villa literature.
1t was reported that q secret Villa or,
ganization similar to the Klu Klux
Klan in the south following the Civil
war; has been formed.

Some Opposition Made
To Navy Yard On Sound

Washington, Mar. Ex-senator Miles
Poindexter is today completing before
the house naval committee his appeal
in favor of a senate appropriation of
$2,065,OO0 for the Puget Sound navy
yard. Representative Butler interposed
the remark that he "couldn t under
stand why Secretary Daniels approves
the expenditure when Admiral Benson,
the secretarys right hand man, oppos.
es it. ~
A spirit of opposition to the Puget
Sound project developed in the com
mite. Representative Humphrey ia
vorei it, exhibiting kilograms from
public officials in the state of Wash
ington asking for immediate action
There was sharp debate when Rep
resentative Britten charged that Chair
man Padgett, at Secretary Daniels die
tation, refused to call Admiral Fiske to
