Sakakawea Said
To Be Buried
In So. Dakota

Mobridge, S. D., Oct. 2O.-The
burial place of Sakakawea, famous
Bird Woman guide of Lewis and
Clark, which has been the subject Of
many disputed claims, has finally
been established by Doane Robinson
of. Pierre, s. D., state historian of
South Dakota, says the Mobridge
Tribune. According to Robinson, the
body Of the Indian woman was buried
near what was formerly Fort Man
uel, in northwestern carson county.
MI. Robinson and other spent
some time looking up data in the
vicinity of the site of the old fort.
While the exact spot could not be
fixed, the approximate location was
determined, this being about tw6
miles south of Kenel on the west
bank Of the Missouri river, in Carson
county, South Dakota. z y
Sakakawea, most famous of Indian
women, following the completion Of
her work as guide with the Lewis,
and Clark expedition of 1905, went
with her husband and small child to
st. Louis, where Captain Clark es-,
tablished them on small farm. But
the youhd Indian woman beciue
homesick and when Manuel Lisa, 9
Spanish fur trader, started in 1911
up the Missouri river to the land Of
the Rec and Sioux, Sakakawea i and
her family accompanied him. The
party reached their destination in
August on Nov. 10 81 that year.
John G. Ldttig;s who was Manuel
Lisa's clerk. kept i diary and in this
ne recorded the. death Of Sakakawea,

FUNERAL FOR
GUN VICTIM TO
BE TOMORROW
Roy Pennell, Well Known Bis
i. marck Man, To BE Buried
81 Here on Sunday
WAS WORKING AT FARM
Shotgun Discharged Acciden-
tally and Full Force of
Gun Struck Body
WAS WORKING AT FARM

Funeral services for Roy Pennell,
4O8 Twelfth street, who was acci-
dentally shot and fatally wounded at
his farm 13 miles southeast of Bis
marck about 8 o'clock yesterday aft
erneon, will be held at the residence
at 9 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The
body of Mr.. Pennell was brought to
Bismarck last evening after a party
Of officials and \relatives had gone
to the farm.
Mr.. Pennell had gone out for a
load of hay on his farm. George
Hedrix and boy in the field help
ed him grease the front wheels Of his
wagon, according to officials who
went to the farm. Then they went
to their own stack of hay and he
to his, some distance away. Mr..
.Pennell had on the wagon small
load of fence posts and tarpaulin
and shotgun on the wagon. He
threw the tarpaulin off. 1t is be-
lieved by those who went to the
scene of the accident that Mr.. PEN
nell, while standing on the wagon,
either reached out to drop the gun
on the ground or that in lifting a
pole it fell to the ground. The shot
gun, Winchester pump, fell to the
ground and was discharged, the
charge of shot striking Mr.. Pennell
above the eyebrows on the left side
Of the head. Death probably was
virtually instantaneous.
Sheriff Albin Hedstrom headed d
party called to the scene of the
accident. He was accompanied by
Deputy Phelps, Louis 'Benzer, a
brother-in-law of Mr. Pennell and
Anton Beer, acting deputy coroner.
* Mr.. Pennell was sAS years old. He
was born in Boxton, Maine. and was
brought to North Dakota at the age
of two years. Pennell lived on his
farm south of the city for many
years, and had lived there or in Bis
smarck for 45 years. He was men,
ber of the Maccabees lodge of Bis
marck.
!. Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Maria
Pennell and two sons, William and
Lawrence.

SUGAR BETS
BEING RAISED
IN NO. DAKOTA
Lower Yellowstone Irrigation
Project Partly in N. D.,
Produces Large Amount

Three thousand two hundred acres
Of sugar beets are being raised on
the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation
tn -7eproject, it was stated by H. A.
Parker, of Savage, Mont, manager, in
response to request for information
on the project. in North Dakota.
."About 5000 acres of sugar beets
are being raised on the project this
season and are showing very good
YIELD" he wrote. 1T is estimated
that the acreage next year will be
nearly double this. Representatives
of several sugar companies have
been looking over this locality re-
Gently and it is reasonably certain
that a sugar factory will be con-
structed here, within the next two or
three years. If a factory is located
somewhere on this project it, will
make an easy outlet for beets rails
ed on the Williston project"
The area under the ditch in North
Dakota is approximately 10000 acres,
although large percentage is not
being irrigated at this time, he
said. One reason is the lack Of lat
erals and another the small amount
of vacant public land.
S "The construction cost per acre is
about $62,'' he said. "This is divided
into a primary charge Of $45, pay
able according to the terms Of the
reclamation extension act, and sup,
Elemental charge Of approximately
SIT payable after the. period Of pri-
mary construction payment ends.
The operation and maintenance cost
Tor the past season is estiG ated at
70 cents per acre for all lands on
the project. This assessment is made
against all lands whether water is
used or not" &
Well improved lands and build
ings in the project area are being
available for from SIS to 800 per
acre, he said.

A. C.. Influence
Is Great in
Paint Industry

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 20-More- than
SO per cent Of the chemists engaged
in paint and varn:sh factories of the
United States are graduates Of .the
school Of chemistry at the North
Dakota Agricultural college, accord
ing to DR.. w. T. Pearce's estimate.
Forty graduates of the North Da
kota chemistry school are now scat
tered among the various states of
the union and apply to practical
tasks the knowledge gained ut the
A. c." he stated. "As the total
number of paint and varnish chem
lists is small it may reasonably be
said that the North Dakota gradu-
ates have an active part in directing
the paint industry of this country
Their influence might almost be said
to dominate this industry.

Berlin, Oct. 20. - Chancellor
Stresemann, it is announced, will
publicly discuss today Germany's
foreign relations and the situation
in the Ruhr, and Rhineland. The
report that General Won Lossow,
commander of the Reichswehr in
Bavaria has been recalled by DR..
Otto Gessl T., the military dictator,
was confirNed at the ministry Of de-
,fense late last night. While Eyesi-

Munich at time when the Berlin
government is busily engaged in SUBJ
DUNG the red PRIMER of Saxony,
Won Lussow's stubbornness in acting
on the orders of the defense minis
ter in which he has. been literally
encouraged by, the Bavarian dicta-
tor, DR.. Won Kahr, has SO ,incensed
both the president and DR.. Gessler
that they felt the federal military
authority and army discipline would
be menaced should they permit the
RelchsWehr commander to flOut them
further.
Unless DR.. Gessler now succeeds
in selecting a successor to Won Lus-
SOW as military governor of Bavaria
the. Central Governments state of
emergency decree will become null
and void SO far as Bavaria is con-
cerned and dictator Won Kahr will
then be in position to disregard
entirely any edict proclaimed by
President Ebert or the Minister of
Defense. The immediate outcome of
the present controversy will be an
other exchange of, diplomatic ameni-
ties between Berlin and Munich in
which the central government, ex-

Owsley, weary from his years
strife, his $4,000 miles of travelling
during his administration on behalf
of the legion, and showing a loss of
rs pounds, smiled wan smile as he
took Commander Quinn by the hand
and said: II turn you over to the
mercies of the newspapers, the photo
graphers and the public"
A far different type of man took
up Owsley's burdeM Quinn, cowboy
and a typical westerner, of the open
plains, Immediately announced he

Tourists are still coming through
Bismarck, even though the chilly
breczes that heralded winter have
set in. Some of them are camping at
the tbufist camps along the way, but
most of them now are seeking hotels.
Within the last two days dozen
tourists have stopped at the Assoc
iation of Commerce for tourist in
fromation, A. w. Tracy, secretary
of the National Parks Highway
Association, in Bismarck yesterday
said that while. he was in the Twin
Cities for two days the tourist in
formation bureaus there directed 100
tourists on their way to the west
coast to use the northern routes,
because of the bad condition of
roads on the southern routes.
Most of those touring through now
are on, their way to California for
the winter.
Secretary Bradley of the A. of C.
today said it was desired that the
Association receive samples of corn
of all kinds for the purpose of MAX
ing up corn exhibit for permanent
exhibition at the A. of c. He finds
much use and would be glad if Bur-
leigh county men desiring to boost
the county would contribute a few
ears of corn, with information con-
cerning it; the acreages and number
of bushels per acre. The name of
the person who raised the corn will
be tagged on it.
The A. Of C. Fire Prevention COM
mittee is we'll satisfied with the res
ponse to Fire Prevention week, and
believe that if the effort should
result in the prevention Of one fire
in Bismarck the time and effort
would have been we'll spent. More
than $500 replies to questionnaires
on fire prevention were received
from school children. Through these
they were asked to check on their
own homes. 1t is believed this at
tion to the question Of fire preven-
tion will result in the elimination
of many bad flues, rubbish and other
materials which might lead to bad
fires. Many merchants have answer-
ed questionnaires and the Fire Pre-
vention committee asks that any
questionnaires now in their hands
be delivered at, once.
