No Change of Time

There will be no change made in
the official time at the Agency the
first of April, as was the case last
year when the time was moved an
hour ahead during the summer
months, in order that the employees
might have an extra hour during
the evening. Mr.. Kitch states that
for the present. at least, no change
in the time is contemplated. 1t is
likely that later on after summer
sets in the employees may decide to
go to work an hour earlier in the
morning, and will then be able to
quit work at four O'Clock instead of
five O'Clock, which will give them
an extra hour in the evening as was
the case last year.

Preparing for High Water

1t is feared that high water may
wash out the dam at the Porcupine
creek bridge north of Fort Yates,
and for that reason a crew of men
went up this morning to clear the
river Of snow so the water will fol-
low the natural course of the stream
instead Of overaowing and possibly
wash away the earthwork put in
last year when the course of the
creek was changed. James Nfolash,
road overseer for Fort Yates dis
trict, has been on the lookout for
the high water, and supt. Kitch
sent up some men to help do any
work that may be necessary.

Heart Failure c.u.. Of Death

Mrs. John Sack died Sunday, at
the home of a neighbor near the
Farm school. AS there were num-
Der of ugly rumors in circulation as
to the cause of her death Superin.
tendent Kitch and DR.. Thomas
went down Monday and conducted
an investigation. An autopsy per-
formed on the body Of the dead
woman developed that death was
due to heart failure, and not blow
on the head which she received the
night previous to her death during
fight with a neighboring woman.
1t was also brought out that she had
been subject to epileptic fits, which
together with the excitement
brought on during the alteration
hastened her demise. She was
about % years old and it is under
stood that the remains were inter-
red in the Farm school cemetery.

Rail Ruu,or

There are a number of runors in
circulation that the steel will be laid
on then. P. branch from Cannon
ball to Fort Yates this spring, and
that the line will be extended south
possibly connecting with the Mil
waukee on the west side of the riv-
er from Mobridge for the present.
So far the Pioneer has not been able
to verify these reports and simply
gives them for what they are worth.
Facts are, however, that the North
ern Pacific Railway&re enlarging
their yards and shops at Mandan,
and plan to spend 81 100000 there
during the year in new improve.
ments, making the NIandan yards
and shops the largest on their entire
system. This may indicate railroad
extension in the near future and
the continuance Of the branch from
the state line south would serve a
large territory now without railroad
service.

Suspected a. Spy

Wolfgang Berger, German-Rus-
sian enligrant who came to Fort
Yates a couple of years ago and
worked on the ferry boat for Oscar
Baumann during the summer OF
1910, and went from here to Texas
and enlisted in the regular army
in the fall Of that year, has been
suspected of being a German spy ac-
cording letters received by Post
master Carignan. AT least the U.
S. Secret service has been looking
him up lately, and have been cor
responding with the postmaster here
to find out ii he was here during
the time he claimed.

Threatened Railroad
Strike Settled Monday
U. S. Supreme Court Upholds Adamson
Act Few Hours After Railroads
Grant Mems Demands

New York, March 19.-With the
nationwide railroad strike avcrtcd
and the Adamson act declared con-
stitutional, the controversy that has
ragged between the railroads and
their employees for nearly year
over the question of hours and
wages today passed into history.
Appealed to by the Presidents
mediators to yield on the grounds
Of patriotism to the demands of the
employees, the railroads Just before
daybreak today consented to an
agreement whereby the employees
receive the eight-hour basic work
day and pro-rata pay for overtime,
the same as that provided by the
Adamson law. Several hours later
the United States Supreme Court
upheld the constitutionality of the
Adamson act and what the brother
hoods had already obtained by their
threat to call nation wide strike
at Z O'Clock today, the supreme
court legally assured to them by its
decree.
All that remains is to decide how
much back pay the employees are
entitled to, inasmuch as the agree
mcnt signed by both sides and the
Adamson law provides that the op-
Grafton Of the new wage and hour
schedule shall be retroactive Begin
ing Jan. 1. The brothcrhoods and
the railroad managers will get to-
gether on this matter tomorrow to
decide how it will be computed. 1t
is estimated that employees have
between Sl2,000,00O and s13,O0O,-
600 coming to them.

New Black Hills Trail
Now Being Proposed
If New Trail to Black Hills is Laid out
1t Should Pass Through Fort Yates
On Way to Lennon

A movement is under way to es-
tablish trail from Bismarck to the
Black Hills. r. D. Thomas, secre-
tary Of the Lennon, S D., COM
mercial club, is taking up the mat
ter and has proposed that the old
Black Hills Trail be followed.
The Pioneer would suggest that
this proposed new trail be laid out
along the Missouri river as near as
possible, following the St. Anthony
road from Mandan south to where
the Road to Fort Rice branches off.
From Fort Rice to Cannonball
where the Cannonball river would
have to be bridged, and from there
south following the Missouri river
to Fort Yates, connecting with the
Standing Rock Trail which Joins
the Yellowstone Trail at McLaugh-
lin. Then following the Yellowstone
trail west to Lennon, and from
there on south to the Black Hills.
This proposed route would ira
verse the most picturesque section
of North Dakota, and take in many
points Of historic interest in both
North and South Dakota. The
route would pass old Fort Lincoln
below Mandan. Next the site of
historic Fort Rice, which a few
years ago was dedicated state park.
At Cannonball the Standing Rock
reservation would be entered. Fol-
lowing the Missouri river Fort Yates
would be the next stop of historic
interest. Here travellers could visit
Sitting Bulls grave, Agency build
ings and other points of interest.
Reaching South Dakota, by max.
ing detour of few miles, the
Sitting Bull battlefield could be Wis.,
tied and many points Of interest
observed on the reservation in South
Dakota,

Treat Seed Grain With
Formaldehy Solution
Agricultural Authorities Recommend
the Treating Of all Seed Grain to
Prevent Smut Disease

This formaldehyde solution re-
commended for treating seed is not
poisonous to farm animals and will
not injure sacks, clothing and i'm
plements coming in contact with it.
After completing an investigating
into the relative merits of several
methods Of treatment, the North
Dakota Development League Press
Bureau of Grand Forks recommends
the following as producing maxi
mum of beneficial results:
For oats, wheat, fax, and barley
seed to be treated, dissolve one full
bottle of 16 ounces, or 40 per cent,
formaldehyde in a tank or barrel
containing 30 gallons Of water. In
to this solution a gunny sack or
other container filled with seed is
dipped. 1t is important that the
grain is completely submerged for
five minutes. The grain is then
emptied on the floor or canvas to
dry and should be turned over at
intervals to hasten the drying.
Grain so treated will give no trouble
in running through seeder. The
seed should be treated at least half
a day before sowing in order to
give it sufficient time to dry.
Sixteen ounces Of 40 per cent
formaldehyde will treat 40 or so
bushels of seed grain at a cost of
30 to 35 cents. 1t may be had
cheaper in larger quantities.
1t is an undisputed fact that loss
due to smut diseases can be prac-
tically prevented providing the for
maldehyde treatment is carefully
followed according to the above .di-
rections. The value Of treating seed
grain has passed the experimental
stage and the great benefit derived
by eradicating the smut with for
1naldel,yde is shown not only ty an
increase in the yield of grain per
acre, but also in the improvement
Of the quality Of the grain. Fur
thermore, said treatment facilitates
tile sprouting and gives the grain a
healthier appearance, thus securing
for the farmer a better price for his
product.

Shall Fort Yates Have
Ball Team Is Question
New State Law Against Charging Ad.
mission For Sunday Base Ball Can
be Evaded on Reserve

The base ball season will soon be
here and it is high time that some
action was taken to form an organ
ization if Fort Yates is to he repre-
sented with a base ball team this
year.
For the past couple Of years Fort
Yates has had a fair team, but for
some reason it has been hard to Sc
cure games on home grounds, and
therefore the organization has fin
ished the seasons with a consider
able deficit in the treasury, and the
management has been called upon
to make up the shortage in a num-
ber Of cases.
Under the new law passed by the
legislature the past winter admis-
sion cannot be charged for Sunday
base ball games. As the Fort
Yates grounds are located on the
government reserve the state law
will not apply to Sunday games
played here and an admission could
be charged without violating the
law.
This being the case a fast ball
team here should have no trouble
getting outside teams for Sunday
games. There is plenty material
from which to make fast, winning
team, and it is hoped that the base
ball fans will get together in the
near future and talk over the pros
poets and see what support could
he enlisted to maintain a base ball
team that would be credit to Fort
Yates and the reservation country :
