a few notes on the history of the
maybe should be of interest, DR..
COues in his work on n. A. Birds
describes it as follows: Lustrous
Black with green, purple, violet and
even golden iridesence, especially on
wings and tails, below from breast

lowing to development of tail which
is from 8 to II inches in length,

The first mention we have of
them in Dakota territory, is found
in the journals of the Lewis and
Clark expedition in years 1903 to
1906, notations of the bird being
seen occur from about the time
they passed the mouth of the Platte
river until after they passed the
Yellowstone River. They noted it
as winter resident during the
winter in which they camped near
the Mandan village above the pres
ent city of Bismarck. The first
note in the journal is found under
date of Sept. 18th, 1904 as follows:
Capt. Lewis killed remarkable
bird which he called Magpy, long
tail, the upper part of the feathers
and also the wings are of a purplish
variated green, the back and part
of the wing feathers are white
edged with black, white belly, while
from root of the wings to center
of the back is white, the head. neck
breast and other parts are black,
the beak like a crow, about the size
of large pigeon, beautiful thing.
We find data relative to the mag
pie, in the account Of Bradbury
travels, in the account of trip up
the Missouri in 1911 by Brecken-
ridge, in the journals of Prince
MaXimillian, j. j. Audubon in the
1905 and in those of ornitholigists
of later years.
Mr.. Joseph Henry Taylor who
lived near and trapped on the Miss
ouri River and it's tributaries for
many years in the 70's and who af-
forwards published newspaper as
well as several books, has the fol-
lowing notes found in the book
"Twcnty Years ON the Trap line"
The meat eating magpics were the
most numerous of the bird kind in
NortheGn Dakota, on my first al
vent there. They remained there
during the cold winter months, and
shared with the ravens and coyotes

notes were paid. The answer says
that:
1.-THE facts concerning these claims
and charges and the money so charged
and credited are that the plaintiff
bank represented to this defendant
that the Scandinavian American. bank
of Fargo was at that time heavily
indebted to the plaintiff bank and
that plaintiff had agreed with
the said northumberland
bank of Fargo, to take off it's
hands certain stock notes then in
the possession of and owned by said
Scandinavian American bank of Fargo
for the purpose of reducing the in
debtedness which the said Scandina-
| van-American bank owed the plaintiff
herein, and that the plaintiff prefer
red to handle the said notes through
another bank; that such notes drew
% per cent and that plaintiff would
| advance to this defendant sufficient
| money to purchase said notes in it's,
the defendants, own name, but for
plaintiff herein; and that plaintiff
would not ask or require the defend
ant to pay the money so advanced UNI
til such notes were paid and if any
of such notes were not paid, the
plaintiff would accept such notes in
cancellation of the money SO advanced
to and charged this defendant as
aforesaid"
1t further said it was agreed that
the Bank of North Dakota was to get
per cent interest on the money adj
vanced, and that the Peoples State
bank would get per cent interest on
the notes up to the time they were to
be taken over by the Bank of North
Dakota, land as further consideration
all Indebtedness which the plaintiff
herein owed the defendant should be
extended until the notes were taken
over by the plaintiff"
\, Says Notes Were Bought. !.
The answer alleged that in pursu
ance Of the agreement it proceeded to
purchase the notes and drew on the
Bank Of North Dakota for the amount
of the purchase of. notes. The Peo-
pies State bank says it holds the
notes for the Bank of North Dakota,
and stands ready to complete it's
agreement and turn them over, while
it says the Bank of North Dakota re-
fuses to give credit for the notes re-
turned.
William LANCER, attorney, was pres
emit, he said, as representative of 30
to 40 farmers and others who had
signed the notes for purchase of stock
in the Scandinavian-Am bank.
The givcrs of the notes are in Il
dilemma and Apprenticeship be sued
on the notes no matter who wins the
lawsuit here. Among the notes, Mr..
LANCER said, was one for 5000 given
by Senator f. F. Ladd and one for
81, 900 from James Brady Of Judd.

Mr.. Koffel, as attorney for the
bank, placed Mr.. Johannsen on the

VOLIVA WON'T SAIL
AROUND WORLD THIS YEAR

ZION CITY, H., March 8.-Wil-
bur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion
ist cult here, says he's decided to give
up his idea of going Christopher
Columbus one better and sailing
around the world to prove that it's as
fiat as pancake-at least temporar-
lily.
Voliva has just been convicted on
ia charge of criminal libel brought
against him by the pastor of an op-
posing sect here. And the overseer
says that fighting in court has taken
and will take so much of his time
that he just can't spare the time to
travel around the earth's rim.
One of the tenets of the Zionist
belief is the world is fiat and is sur
rounded by water The modern geo
graphical teaching Of a ballshaped
earth is regarded as heretical and an
ii Christian.
Il am getting together an expedi-
ton to sail around the outer rim f
the world and prove the Zionist be-
Ilief-which is the teaching of the
Bible-is correct" Voliya announced
a year ago.

Lake Tha. sharpens Razors.

One of the most curious lakes In the
world is to be found In Ireland.
This lake has the power of petrify-
ing any substance that may fall into 1t.
or course, the petrifaction Is not alb
soiute. but tie substance Is coated
with a layer of stone, which Is found
dissolved in the lake, and the stone
then hardens and forms n shell over
the substance.
A w~ell-known cutlery firm In Eng
land heard Of this and sent a man over
to inspect Il. He selected several
pieces Of hardwood, which he sank
with weights, and then marked the
place with small buoys.
A fortnight later he returned and
ooh up two pieces Of the wood, which
he found to be partly petrifed. Two
weeks after he drew up the other
pieces, and found each piece to be as
hard as flint.
The firm then made several expert
ments with the wood and found that at
a certain stage Of pe~trifaction an ex-
cellent razor hone could be manufac.
tured from it.-London Tit-Bits.
