about half mile west of the present
Northern Pacific station and just
west of the mouth of the Brick Yard
Coulee With our additional men,
seven more claims were made of land
lying north and east of the original
four.
On the 9Th of April Mr.. Beardsley,
an agent of the Railroad Land De-
partment, with eleven men, arrived
from Fargo. In the meantime we had
delivered logs and laid the founda-
ton for a squatter's shack on each
claim. We each allowed Mr.. Boards
ley's men to jump our rights, by the
substitution of their stakes for ours,
and we returned to our work as en-
gineers.
The land contiguous to the present
N. P. station was divided into lots
and placed on sale. The place was
named Edwinton, after Mr.. Edwin i.
Johnson, the then chief engineer OF
the railroad. Later change Of name
was made to Bismarck.
About the 3rd or 4th Of April a
small band Of Arickarees, on foot
(whose reservation was at Ft. Berth

OF the afternoon begging for prOtec-

less than fifteen miles. 1t was diff
ficult matter to pitch the tents, and
it was accomplished only through the
skill and long practice of seasoned
campers.
An early start was made on the
morning of the 30th. The storm had
somewhat abated, but the snow was
still flying, covering the ground about
fourteen inches on the level. We
made about nineteen miles, camping
at five o'clock. During the afternoon
we had spied, far back on our trail,
the rig of the Land Grabbers,' as
we had dubbed them, and soon after
we made camp they came up and
camped near us.
This camp was about on the divide
between the James and Missouri
Rivers In the Missouri valley there
was little snow. The heavier loads
that had been carried on the sleds
were transferred to the wagons. Our
sleds became a hindrance to rapid
marching. The Land Grabbers had a
wagon. They were travelling with
out the outfit Of an organized party,
much lighter than we, and had a
splendid span of light horses, and
having had a broken trail they were
in fine condition.. Our teams were
badly tagged by the three days OF
trail breaking. We retired with
many misgivings of our success in
reaching the goal first.

Oliver Curwood the landslide that i'm
prisons jeanne and AldrOus in a
mine required the most elaborate
preparation. There was an explosion
in the picture in which 100 pounds
of powder were used to send a small
hill scattering into the air. This was
simple alongside the fall of many
tons of rocks, trees and earth that
swept down the mOuntainside. E
Slowly one section of the platform

devastating force, gaining Roadway

of the earth broke down the remain

down the hill. It was, indeed, thrill

A trial has just been made at
Plattsburg, N. Y, of the Lewis ma
chine gun, turned down recently by
our ordnance board, and the Benet-
Mercier machine gun by board ap-
pointed by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
u. S. A., commanding the eastern de-
partment. In it's official report to the
war department the board states It's
unanimous opinion that the Lewis ma
chine gun showed superiority in every
test over the Benet-Mercier gun,
which is the regular machine gun
equipment of the United States army.
This was particularly emphasized in
the night firing tests.
Particular attention was given to
the sand and mud tests. The loaded
magazines were filled with wet and
dry sand and were fired without
cleaning, except removal of such sand
as fell out when magazines were
shaken. The Lewis guns fired the re-
quired number of shots in one minute
and three seconds, while the Benet-
MERCER guns fired only eight or ten
shots in five minutes of firing and
went out of action for the balance Of
the tests, having become damned and
unable to continue the tests, The
Lewis gun Immediately thereafter
fired 1888 shots in SO SECONDS, to dem
onstrate its functioning without the
sand being removed from the gun.
The most interesting test, however.
was when the magazines Of both guns
were filled with thick mud. guns re-
naming uncleaned after the sand
test. The Lewis gun performed IN
4S seconds, while the Benet-Mercier
guns were unable to function after
the sand test, and therefore did not
even attempt to enter the mud tests.
After the conclusion of these tests
the Lewis guns fired 20 shots with
deformed cartridges and battered
shells in three seconds.

HEAT TALK.

1t is perhaps true that no man or
woman is so miserable from he heat
but he or she might find someone
more miserable.
And if you feel so hot that you
thing you would like to die, just re-
fleet how much hotter you might be
if you did.
OF course it's hot
You know it; everybody knows it.
So what's the use talking about it?
What good can come of Tuning and
frettin cover something that can't be
helped?
You only add to your discomfort by
dwelling upon it. You only make
your friends more miserable by pill
ing your troubles upon their own.
The heat is one thing that will take
care of itself without any word of ad-
vice or criticism from you. You may
complain and whine all day long, max
ing yourself all the hotter doing so,
and the mercury in the glass won't
shift the millionth fraction of a de-
gree out of Difference to you.
So, it being generally and thorough
ly understood that it is hot and that
there is no help for it, why not forget
about it, and be comfortable? The
heat cannot bother you if you are not
thinking about it. You will be less
likely to think about it if you don't
/ talk about it.
It is fact that the busiest people
who ought to be hottest, really bear
the heat best. That is because they
have something besides the heat to
think about. The instant you free
your mind from slavery to it the hea,
becomes powerless to Cypress you.
There are millions of people brave
ly bearing the heat, or rising men
tally superior to it.. Why not you:
Can't you bear your little milliontf
part of the burden without making q
fuss about it?
+ You think you suffer unbearably
from the heat, but what do you really
know about those who really suffer

AUTO FEES.

Progress made in good roads during
the last decade is due largely to the
increase in automobile traffic. Nine
ty per cent of the registration and Ii
cense fees paid in 1915 by AUTOMOBILE
lists was spent for the building and
maintenance Of good roads. This rep
resents total expenditure for last
year of $l6,213,3S7 in the various
states.
Automobile fees now defray' nearly
seven per cent of the total amount
spent on rural road and bridge build
ing. In 1906, the income from this
source was less than three-tenths Of
I per cent Of the total expenditure.
The rapid increase in the revenue
from automobile licenses merely i'm
poses an additional responsibility up
on the state. Laws should be passed
which will insure the most efficient
use of this money.
1t would seem a wise policy to use
the money secured from the sale Of
automobile licenses for the develop
ment of trunk or arterial roads.

forage and covered with paulins. The
Sioux soon appeared. Their belts
were loose, and food was supplied
them. They were taken into all the
tents and seemed dazed when they
could find o9Rees. We insisted on
the Sioux leaving the camp, and then,
late in the evening, routed our Rec
guests and told them 20 "vamoose."
The first duty of the next day was to
dig rifle pits around our camp.
Indians Very Quiet.
Sometime in May a very consider
able band of mounted Sioux warriors
made camp at the Big Bend of Apple
Creek. Men were struggling into the
country and many tales were told of
Indian holdups, the demands being
for food. Along portions of the rail-
Waysline the cross-section stakes had
been set. In one place, for a distance
OF .three-quarters of a mile, the In
dians gathered all the stakes, and
bound them into. three bundles of
graduated sizes. At the summit of a
hill the largest bundle was firmly set
on the railway line, the smaller
bundles surmounting it, topped by a
single stake, colored blue and decor
ated with feathers and bits of skin
smeared in blue. This was interpret
ed as a formal, yet peaceful, protest
against the OCCUPATION of their coun-
try. The bandfsoo disappeared. So
far as l know, this. was their only pro-
test against the building of the North
ern Pacific east of the Missouri river.
During the summer of 1872 the
grading was completed from Fargo to
Bismarck, the track reaching a point
about thirty miles east of Bismarck
in November. In June of 1873 the
track was completed to Bismarck.
Later, the failure of Jay Cooke & Co.
1.-THE financial agents) occurred, re-
sulting in the suspension of Northern
Pacific extension work from 1873 to
1876.

A LOST ART.

Is it no longer worth while to know
how to spell?
Parents have been for a long time
seeking a satisfactory answer to this
question, and the only response that
comes from the public schools indi-
Gates that there, at least, it is not
considered worth while.
Now comes the Northwestern uni
versity, a great and representative
institution of learning, with the an.
nouncement that out Of freshman
class of al members only Sc were
able to pass examination in spelling
The examination, we are told, was
not prepared on the knockout plan OF
the old red school house spelling bee
which gloried in the discontinue of a
really good speller, but covered only
the vocabulary of simple speech and
everyday correspondence.
Indeed, the examining board, with
q view to modern delinquencies, tried
ii make its photographed test too
easy and yet hardly more than one
in three young men regarded as fit to
enter college were able to meet these
common requirements in this rudi
mentary branch of education.
One Of the Nortkwestern's profes
sors advances the theory but what
does it matter!
What is the good Of theories in the
face Of such meaning facts?
The over-mastering fact of the mat
ter is that high school graduates can
not spell because they are not taught
how. IS
