Pacific by crossing the continent
north of Mexico. In March,
1906, the return journey was
commenced and in September Of
the same year st. Louis was
again reached with only one
member of the party having died
and only one member having
deserted. No later feat of ex-

ernOr Of each of the three north
western stats might we'll consid.
er the calling in each state Of a
special session of the legislature
for the one specific purpose OF
appropriating money with which
to buy up sufficient seed wheat
to insure the crop for 1917 and
the coming years. Such a call
of the legislature would be just
ifiell by the seriousness Of the
situation and. the. apptopriataion
Of money FOR such purposes
would be fully warranted by the
experience Of the past. When
North Dakota farmers were
hailed out, the state provided
funds with which they could Sc
cure seed. That disaster and its
future effects upon the prosperit
of the state was small as COM
pared to the present. When
hog cholera became menace to
the business Of the northwest
both North Dakota and South
Dakota and Minnesota alike con-
sidered themselves justified in
appropriating funds with which
to combat the disease. The seed
wheat situation may easily prove
to be as bad as the hog cholera
situation ever was. F. S. & III.
is not suggesting that the farm.
ers be S'handed" anything. All
proper provision should be tax
en- to safeguard the. state. The
individual farmer does not need
assistance in the ordinary sense
cf the word; he is not asking for
assistance, but unless the power
Of the state intervenes,, the grain
Of seed quality which farmer. A
has grown, which farmers d. r
and r ought to use next spring
fcT seed, will go by way Of the
elevators to the mills and the
loss will only become apparent
in future years. In such a crisis
where the individual interest is
not able to act in a way big
enough to protect the situation
where the interests Of all are ul
timately concerned, there is
no other power short of the state
that can grapple successfully
wi the situation. f., S. & H.
respec ctfully suggests to the gov
e1,nors Of the states named both
the gravity Of the situation and
the advisability Of taking steps
looking toward prompt legisla-
tive action in behalf of the
grain4growing interests CT the

GOVERNOR ISSUES
FIRE PROCLAMATION

Governor Hanna has issued
a proclamation designating Oct
ober 8 as fire prevention day.
The proclamation follows:
State of North Dakota, Execu-
tive Department.
Every year North Dakota and
the whole country as well suf-
fers severely by fires, many Of
which might be prevented with
proper care. By reason of this
fire loss the rates Of insurance
are high. If we can only edu-
cate the young people in our
schools and the older people up
on the farms, in their homes
and in heir. business, to clean
up their property and take pro-
per care of it, and to help to
prevent fires, we can save an
enormous amount Of money each
year by preventing fires.
To the end that the people Of
the state may cooperate with
the State Fire Marshal's De-
partment in the reduction Of
loss by fire. l hereby designate
Monday, October 9th, 1916, as
Fire Prevention Day in the State
of North Dakota. This day is
the anniversary of the great
Chicago fire where great loss
resulted through carelessness an
bad conditions, and I sincerely
urge that the citizens Of the stat
everywhere cooperate so that
Fire Prevention Day may really
mean something in North Dakot.

Governor.

WONDER AUTOMOBILE
COMES TO WAsHBURN

Probably the happiest boy in
Washburn today is Master Max
Wacker, son of Adolph Wacker
Of the Mclean County Abstract
and Title company, who has been
advised that his "BCee Light
Eight, the Juvenile car that q
. just like dads, has been ship
ped from the factory at Battl
Greek, Mich.
Master Wacker was the first
Missouri Slope boy to win one Of
these wonder cars by turning
in new subscriptions for the Trib
une. Seventy youngsters are dill
igently at work, and the fact
that Max was the first to cross
the line argues well for his sue
cess in later years. The WASH
burn young man mailed to the
Tribune office Ii subscriptions
the mystic number in this in
stance proving a lucky one. 9th

the needed number, and very 500

makes of cars FOR "grown-nps.'-

CAMPING GROUNDS oF
LEWIS AND CLARK

( q fJ "" SA6AA" s~AAAO0-AS
journeyed up-river Sunday and
hunted out the site where the
Lewis and Clark expedition
camped during the winter of
1804-5. the location is just
twelve miles west Of Washburn
andthe place is readily determ-
fined by a circle Of trenches and
Irifle pits thatwere constructed as
a precaation against hostile In
dians 112 years ago this coming
November. The site chosen by
the explorers for their winter
quarters is just at the foot Of
what is now known as Elm Point
and tributary there are two or
three square miles Of very rough
land with bare butes and the
surroundings very much resembl
the bad lands in the western
part of the state. From pen
sketches made by Catlin the sur
roundings are easily recognized
to this day and Sergeant Pat
rick Gass's journal describes the
camping place minutely, tells Of
the digging Of the trenches and
rifle pits, the location Of the
buildings in heavy timber under
a very high abrupt hill and
just a few hundred feet back
from the rivers edge and ON
the north and east bank of the
river. In view Of the fact that
this expedition marked the COM
ing Of the white man from the
south into North Dakota this is
historic ground and the Month
Dakota historical society are
planning in the near future to
commemorate the event by hav-
ing a celebration. This oelebra-
tion will be of national import
ance and will attract people
from all parts Of the country,
and local people will be asked
to help in the preliminary ar
rangements. 1t was with this
idea in view that last Sunday s
trip was arranged for.
1t was in january, 1903, that
President jefferson sent a mes
age to congress urging the de-
velopment Of trade with the
Inaians Of the Missouri valley
and recommended that an ex-
ploring party be sent into this
region, Notwithstanding the fact
that it was then held by Spain
and owned by France. An ap-
preparation was made and Pres
ident jefferson commissioned
Meriwether Lewis, an army Of
ficer, to organize a party, pro-
coed up the Missouri and across
the Mountains and on to the Pa
cific ocean. Accordingly in May
1904, Captains Lewis and Clark,
with 20 regular men and 16 adj
|,-.itional special men who were
only to make a part Of the jour
ney and three boats started up
the. Missouri river. The first
winter, that Of 18O4-5, was spent
Just II miles west Of Washburn
and in April, 1905, the journey
upriuer was continued with the
result that in November Of that

SIX PROPOSITIONS
AMEND CONSTITUTION

Six propositions will be voted
on by the electors at the Nov
ember election. One amendment
requires at least four judges Of
the supreme court to declare any
act Of the legislature unconsti-
tutional. Another permits coun-
ties by a twothirds vote to in
crease their bonded indebted
ness three per cent beyond the
present five per cent limit Of
assessed valuation Of all proper
ty. The extra Indebtedness can
only be incurred for the build
ing and maintenance of better
roads.
The fourth is a constitutional
amendment permitting the legis-
lature to enact compulsory
hail insurance law whereby a
tax on all farm lands in the
state be levied to insure against
hail losses.
The fifth provides for the for
nation Of cooperative rural
credit association under state
supervision. Money will be
loaned on first mortgages, bonds
guaranteed by the state. It es-
tablishes another commission in
the state government, if the leg-
islature sees fit.
The sixth provides that any
cooperative association may adj
opt bylaws limiting the voting
power Of the stockholders to but
one vote regardless Of the num-
ber of shares he holds.

SPORTS TERSELY WRITTEN

Two moro universities are about to include hockey ntheir Winter ath- letic activity, these being the Univer- sity of Maine and the University of Pittsburgh. Maine will take it up this year only in inter-class form, but. f much interest Is shown and the ma terial looks at all strong, varsity seven will be selected next year, and
 a schedule of intercollegiate games arranged. One great advantage for Maine is that it rarely will suffer for lack of ice. This year there was a thickness of eight inches of ice be- fore Christmas on stream of run- ming water near the college. A rink has been constructed on the campus for the inter-class games. The uni- versity of Pittsburgh is adopting hockey once again after lapse of several years. There are two indoor
