to be allowed at large, or he is
under the influence of the Stacker
selfridge banker, who would dict.
ate-if permitted-what every man
in his community should do.
The completion of a railroad to
Fort Yates will be a convenience to
two-thirds Of the citizens Of Sioux
county. 1t will mean $40, 900. 90
more in taxes for Sioux county. It
will help to win the war. A rail-
road to Fort Yates will not hurt
selfridge, but will be a help and
advantage to the entire county.
Here is what the alleged paper
printed at Selfridge says:
1t is very plain that Fort Yates
wants u railroad and are going to
get it If possible thru the Council of
Defense. We are going to give our
readers the facts and show that a
railroad built to Fort Yates would
be entirely unnecessary at this
time. 1t is very true that an i'm
inense amount of hay can be put
up in Sioux county this year and
that points on the G. M. T. St. P.
R'y cannot ship very far into North
Dakota as there are no transfer
facilities where the Milwaukee and
N. P. lines converge. If this hay
is needed in North Dakota this year
the two railroads should be forced
to put in transfer tracks at New
Leipzig and hay can be loaded at
tSeifridge and Chadwick. a. A rail.
road to Fort Yates would accomo.
date only a few farmers living near
there and but very little hay would
be shipped from there. There is
no point in Sioux county over
twenty miles from a railroad at the
present time and railroad to Fort
Yates would never be u paying pro.
position. We do not believe that
the Government will authorize this
expenditure when they find out it
is not war necessity, but only a
political scheme to retain the county
seat at Fort Yates.

Fourth Of July Celebration

A big two day Fourth of July
celebration will be held IT. Fort
Yates July 4th and 9th at the Fair
Grounds. There will be an address
each day by Judge Beede, base ball
games, horse racing, broncho bust
ing and many other sports.
This celebration is under the aus
pices of the Indians of the agency
district, and it is understood that
a celebration will be held in each
district. The Fourth of July is al
ways observed with a fitting pro-
gram by the Standing Rock Indians,
and for patriotism and support Of
the government in the war there are
no better citizens in North and
South Dakota than the Sioux
Indians.
The Indian celebration at Fort
Yates always draws a number of
white people from the neighborinR
towns, and it is expected that the
whites will be represented at the
celebration with a good attendance.

Catholic Indians Meet
Fort Yate. This Year
Annual Catholic Indian Congress Con.
venes at Fort Yates for Three
Days Saturday Mornins.

Arrangements for the Catholic
Indian Congress which opens at
Fort Yates Saturday are complete.
Rev. FIR. Bernard states that it is
expected there will be in the neigh
borhood Of 5000 Indians present
from different reservations in North
and South Dakota and Montsna.
Among the high dignitaries of the
church who will be present are
Bishop Wehrle Of Bismarck, Father
Quinn Of New York City, who rep.
resents the Catholic Indian
Bureau Of Washington, and Father
Gordon Of Superior, Wisconsin, a
full blood Chippewa Indian priest.
The latter will also bring with him
three Indian chiefs, and is making
the trip by automobile.
The Catholic Indian Congress is
an annual event, and last year was
held in South Dakota. The meet
ings will be held at the Fair
Grounds and arrangements to care
for all the visitors have been COM
pleted.

The Selfridge Journal is opposed
to the recommendation of the State
Council Of Defence thu b! steel be laid
on the Northern Dific railroad
grade from Cannc3ball to Fort
Yates. The Journal says that it u
going to give the facts showing that
a railroad to Fort Yates is entirely
unnecessary at this time, and that
the recommendation of the North
Dakota State Council Of Defense is
a political scheme to retain the
county seat at Fort Yates. Alright.
Where are the facts?
This is a broad statement for a
newspaper 10 make that has not
been established long enough to be
entitled to entry through the mails.
The members Of the State Council
of Defense made this recommenda-
tion after an exhaustive investiga-
tion. These men are better quali-
fed 70 say whether or not this road
is a national necessity than the
editor Of the Selfridge journal.
Furthermore this Is the first in.
timation that there is any danger
of Fort Yates loosing the county
seat. The people Of Fort Yates are
more interested in increasing the
food production, boosting the liber-
ty loan and war saving stamp sales,
and in general render loyal support
to the government, than in the
county seat location.
If selfridge or any other town in
Sioux Uounty can muster enough
votes to move the county seat they
are welcome so far as Fort Yates is
concerned.
Why should the selfridge Journal
be opposed to an improvement that
will aid in the development Of the
county, state and nation? Why
should the Selfridge Journal be OBJ.
posed to q war measure necessary
to the increased production of food
to win the war?
Because the editor of that paper
must either be disloyal, or so pre-
judiced that he is not a fit person

Cut Halsey Hill Grade
Improves South Road
Government and Indians Making Big
Improvement BY New Cut ON Fort
Yatss.MeLaushlin Road

Work Of grading the Fort Yates
Mclaughlin road and laying out a
new road over the Halsey hill has
been in progress the past couple of
weeks. The new grade over the
Halsey hill will be a big improve
ment over the old one, and will lie
appreciated by everyone who uses
the road.
The work is being done under
supervision Of Superintendent Kitch
with Indian labor under appropria-
tion by the Indian department.
The work is being we'll done and a
large force Of men and teams are
employed. This road will be one of
the hest on the reservation if a few
of the worst places like the Halsey
hill it put in passible shape. Many
tnOusands OF dollars has been spent
on this road. and when the few re-
manning finishing touches are conf
pleted, Fort Yates will have an
excellent road south.
The streams on this road has all
been bridged and culverts put in
where needed. 1t is a lasting and
permanent improvement and will
benefit the Indians and white set
tiers alike. The road north of Fort
Yates has also been improved this
spring, and in a little while Fort
Yates will have good roads north
and south.

W. W. s. Chairman

The War Saving Stamp drive is
big success 80 far as Fort Yates il
concerned. Nearly every citizen
has subscribed for the full amount
of the National quota, while others
have way over subscribed the allot-
ment. This is as it should be. A
number Of our people are now pay
ing for liberty bonds and are not
financially able to assume another
obligation, but everyone is doing
his or her best, and when the final
returns come in it will be found
that Fort Yates and Sioux county
will be near the top Of the list.

pointed chairmen for the different

result in Sioux county is concerned
the result is satisfactory to the ma

be accomplished by complying with

very little specializing on the

in Chicago. The spectators secur-
ed an ample supply of the paste
boards, but found no such market
as last fall, when outlandish prices
were demanded.
Some of the larger Spectators
supplied their regular trade, but
no harvest was reached. One prom
inent ticket man asserted last night
that tickets in large quantities will
be offered for sale in the down
town hotels this morning at face

There has been very little betting
on the series. Out on the south
side in the stock yards district the
Red Sox have been installed a to
favorite over the Cubs. The south
side, however, is a strong Ameri-

HERMAN BEATS SHARKEY.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept JACK
Sharkey, the flashy New York ban
tamweight, caught the fancy Of the
crowd at the Olympia on Monday
when he showed he had no fear Of
the famed punches of Bantam
Champion Pete Herman. They met
in the windup, and at the tap Of
the bell Sharkey made wild rush,
which carried Herman to the ropes.
Pete soon set himself, however. and
coolly met the New Yorker s
punches, which had but little steam
behind them. With good solid
punches Of his own, Herman was
entitled to the verdict by his more
effective and better timed punches
and superior skill.
