IDEA BACKED

COURIER NEWS APPROVES OF
PLAN EDITORIALLY-C CITES IN.
STANCES.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 16.-What is
regarded as semi-official league en-
dorsement is given, the "Bank of
North Dakota" idea, first promulgar-
ed by "Jack" Hastings, financial Sec
retary fthe Nonpartisan league, in a
recent interview, in Bismarck, when
the Courier-News, the Nonpartisan
daily organ of North Dakota, editori-
ally approves the suggestion, citing
the Estate Bank of Australia as an
example of the success of such
schemes.
When interviewed here, Mr.. Hast
ings did not appear to think the time
ripe to give the scheme official league
sanction by using his name. He con-
sented, however, to be quoted as one
near the throne, giving the impression
that the idea may have originated
with Mr.. Townley himself.

WIRE HEADS
ASK: INCREASE

Bismarck, Nov. 16.-Preliminary to
probable application for a general
advance in phone rates in North Da-
kota, G. H. Pratt, of Omaha, general
superintendent of the Bell Telephone
Co., and L. D. Richardson, state man.
ager, and Frank Bracelin, general su-
perintendent of the Northwestern
Telephone Co., both of Fargo, were
here for an informal conference with
the North Dakota railway board.
No application for an increase was
made at this time, nor was there a
formal declaration that such applica-
tion would be made, but the confer
ence was devoted to discussion of
costs and rates tending to indicate
that the Bell company regards it's
present rates as insufficient.
Some time ago prediction was
made that the Bell Company would
ask permission to advance it's rates in
this state.

CHIPPEWA WHO DIES AT BEL.
COURT, STOPPED MASSACRE
AT ONE TIME.

Belcourt, N. D., Dec. 18.-A staunch
Episcopalian has passed away, a full
blood Of the Turtle Mountain Chippe-
wa tribe. Rising Sun died at his home
north Of Dunseith, at the age of 110
years, or thereabouts. No one knows
his exact age. Interment was made
In Sylvan cemetery, services being
conducted by his pastor, Rev. w. Salt.
Many people attended the funeral who
considered it privilege to be present
to pay their last respects to the aged
man. His wife died several years ago
at the same place.
Rising Sun was a remarkable man.
In response to questions of how he re-
ceived his name, he replied that he
had been told that he first saw the
light Of day when the sunwas just
peeping out of the East. In his
younger days, he followed the buffalo
for living, making several trips to
the Rocky Mountains. Later in life
he worked for the Hudson Bay com.
pany, making trips to the Hudson Bay
TO meet the English ships for sup
plies. He also worked for the Ameri.
can Fur company, making trips to st
Paul with dog trains in the dead Of
winter through a hostile Sioux coun.
try.
When he passed middle age, he set.
tied down in Pembina Mountains, N
Oak, devoting his time to raising cat.
tie. At one time he had over thirty.
five head, but soon after, among the
Indians, they quarantined themselves
and used his cattle to live on during
that time.
When rising Sun and his wife re-
ceived their first annuity payment
from the government several year
ago, they bought $50 worth of lumber
to help build a Chapel that they had
been waiting for years, keeping th'
lumber in their little log hut for ST,
years before their ambition was real

He was partly the means of pre-
