Historical Parks Planned.

Sites of historical trails, camps and
backgrounds In North Dakota will
be marked by parks and monumental
tablets, according to the plans of pa
triotic organizations.
DR.. Melvin r. Gilmore, curator OF
the North Dakota Historical society.
: recently announced the acquisition o.
additional tracts made famous by piO-
neering expeditions. The sites have
been purchased by communities in
which they are located and the his
torical society has been made trustee
for them. This procedure will be fol-
lowed by communities as rapidly as
new sites are found to be of unusual
value historically. Eventually each
park will contain plat of ground in
which only the native crops, plants
and grasses of the Indians will be
grown. 1t is planned also to provide
each with specimens of animals.

GREAT BATTLESHIPS
RETURN FROM SOUTH.
ATLANTIC FLEET sTEAMs PROUD.
~ INTO NEW YORK HAReoR
AFTER DRILLS.
DANIELS ABOARD FLAGSHIP
Three Months Drilling In Cuban
Waters Wrought Wonders for
Crews Of Uncle Sans Fight
ing Ships.

New York.-Headed by the flagship
Pennsylvania, with the broad blue
flag of the secretary of the navy
flying at the mainmast head, nearly
three-score ships Of the Atlantic fleet
dropped anchor in the Hudson river,
home from three months of drills and
maneuvers in Cuban waters.
Eight great superdreadnaughts and
swarm of swift destroyers rode
sleepily at their moorings at night
fairly filling the river anchorage for
miles, but more than half of the Of
ficers and of the sunburned young
sters of the crews were ashore, enjoy
ing 4S hours of we'll earned liberty.
Afloat, their comrades gazed longing
ly toward the great city, picked out
with innumerable lights as darkness
fell, awaiting their turn to play the
role OF Jack ashore. When the fleet
steamed in past Ambrose Light early
In the morning the Pennsylvania car
ried the three highest officials of the
naval service Besides Secretary Dan
iels, who boarded the ship off the Vir-
ginia capes for the last lap of the
homeward cruise, Admiral Coontz,
chief of naval operations, was a guest
OF Admiral Wilson, commanding the
Atlantic fleet and senior sea command
er OF the navy. Mr.. Daniels and Ad-
miral Coontz stood with Admiral WI
son on the flag bridge as the great
sea force made its stately progress
through the crowded harbor and river
to its anchorage.
AS the Pennsylvania fell into her
place in line a string of flags shot to
her signal yards. The admiral had
ordered a two-hour speed run north
ward. The destroyers leaped in from
their stations on the flanks, rushing
by the battleships at high speed to
spread five-mile line across the sea
in front Of the main force. The bat
tleships forged into "line-abeam" po-
sition, as the navy knows 1t, eight
great ships abreast, with all the ocean
before them, and another color burst
at the flagship's signal yard started
! the race.
For two hours they surged north
ward. The North Dakota, leading the
four coal burners, forged slowly ahead.
She was to lee of some lesser oil
burners and the great banks of black
smoke that poured from the stacks
painted mimic storm clouds for miles
against the clear sky astern. The test
was OF personnel rather than ships.
The fleet went south with green crews
that could not get them up to more
than cruising speed. Three months
&ter the same engine room forces
brought them back on three-fourths
boiler power at 10 knots. That is what
the winter drills had done for the

Collie Called All Day for Help.

Through the persistent barking Of
a faithful collie dog who was trying
hard to summon the assistance of hu-
man hands, the body of his master,
Ernest Alleman was found In the
ruins of his dwelling that had been
destroyed by fire.
Alleman was a recluse, except for
his dog, living in the outskirts of New
Bedford, Mass. His bungalow burned
In the early morning, and all day long
the collie watched the charred embers,
pleading frantically most Of the time
for searchers. Ernest Penielet finally
came to make casual cali upon his
friend Alleman. He was greatly sur
prised to find the house In ruins. The
dog told him his troubles, and Perne-
let procured a shovel and unearthed
the mans remains.-Our Dumb AMI
