Upwards Of 1000 delegates will be
in attendance. This congress of In
diahs includes North Dakota and

from South Dakota, and at this
early date many delegates have per-
fected their plans to attend.
Some Of the highest dignitaries Of
the church in these three states will
attend, among them being Rt. Rev.
Bishop Wehrle Of Bismarck. N. d.,
and number Of Missionary Fathers
of national repute.
Most of the people who attend
this annual event generally camp,
but at that the spacious school and
other buildings on the Agency can
accommodate many hundreds. Fort
Yates is certainly to be congragulat-
ed on securing this annual event,
and nothing is left undone towards
the accommodation and comfort of
the big crowd.

bs Laid on Northern Pacific Grade
Cannonball to Ft. Yaees

The extention of the Northern Pa
cifc tracks from Cannonball to Fort
Yates over a grade already built to
furnish an outlet for a million tons
of hay, badly needed elsewhere in
North Dakota, and which annually
remains uncut on the Standing Rock
reservation or is shipped west to
Montana, is urged in a resolution
addressed to Director General
McAdoo adopted by the Council Of
Defense this morning.
Vice Chairman r. j. Montgomery
and county Agent J. w. Brander OF
Burleigh, members Of a special COM
.mittee which investigated reserva-
ton conditions, reported that fully
a million tons Of hay can be har-
vested their this year at a cost Of
$2.75, and put on the cars at Fort
Yates and other points at IS to sc
the ton The present cost Of haul
ing hay from Fort Yates to Cannon
ball, the nearest rail point serving
North Dakota is $S the ton. The
extention Of the Northern Pacific
from Cannonball to Fort Yates
would not be costly proposition
the committee reported, as a good
grade was built some years ago, and
rails are already lain for some dis
tance. Only two new culverts would
need to be built.
Fort Yates would benefit from
this extention in cheaper freighta
generally, the committee reported,
advising that coal by boat from
Bismarck to Fort Yates costs a the
ton, and that Is, 600 ives spent ia

Cannonball.
The council also adopted a resolu-
tion urging the department Of inter.
ior to extend grazing leases from
three ts five years and to permit
lessees who make improvements,
such as fences, to remove their
property when the lease expires. II
was also recommended that the lease

preted in Sioux by Benjamin White,
and made clear to all who heard
why the country is at war.
Mrs. Adams spent more than a
year in France, being one Of the
first women admitted to the front
line trenches, and she viewed things
there with a,mind trained to observe
and to observe and to retain i'm

years on the lecture platform; and
has visited every accessible spot on

Had Hall made the campaign for
governor, he would been elected.
$. A. Olsness is making good as
insurance commissioner, and will
be reelected for another term. For
commissioner of agriculture and
labor, Alex Mcdonald Of Emmons
county, is the best man, and he
will receive united support where
known.
N. 9. Macdonald, the Nom -Parti-
san League candidate for superin-
tendent Of public instruction, is
the biggest mistake in the state ad.
ministration. He will be defeated
at the polls by the ladies of North
Dakota, if they stand by their sex.
His opponent is Minnie j. Nelson
OF Valley City. It is up to the
men to do the gallant thing and
vote for Miss Nelson.
P. D. Norton should be returned
to Congress from this district. He
has five years experience and a
good record to his credit. Besides,
this is no time for untried men in
the national house of representa-
tives.
For legislative representatives the
Pioneer believes Henry Moen, H.

be elected.

YIy light at the primary election.
Over f00 voters are, serving their
country under arms. The voters
remaining at home are taking no
interest in the contest for the var
ious county Offices. The Pioneer
makes the following forecast of the
result: O. A. Olson will be elect.
ed auditor; J. C. Shields, register
Of deeds; Chas. Mclaughlin, sheriff;
J. A. Wells, clerk of court; Benja-
min White, treasurer; j. A. Stiles,
county commissioner.
The other candidates on the
county ticket have no opposition.
For superintendent of schools there
are only two candidates, and the
names Of both will be on the bal.
lot at the general election.
