valley of the Cannon Ball, as have
been told by the first settlers, have
nearly disappeared. When Sakaka'
wea came to the Knife River villages
as a captive, she marveled at the
plenty which the land afforded in
wild fruits and berries of many
kinds, so we are told by Schulz IN
his book Bird Woman" And how
far do we have to travel and search
today in the coulees and timber fol
real crops Of wild fruit and really
thrifty bushes?
OF course, we still feel that the
chokecherry, the buffalo berry, the
wild currant, the June berry and the
plum are plentiful but we who re.
member our childhood days here
know that there is vast difference
between then and now.
Although our prairie land is still
starred with flowers in the summer
and there are many wild fruit BUSH
es in our coulees, yet have we lost
much of the finest. Gone or prac-
ically gone are the beautiful gen.
tian, the large wild phlox, and the
prairie flame lily which colored the
andscape when Bradbury, the Eng
lish botanist, came to this region in
1912, is seen now only in scattered
little patches here and there.
Close Pasturing Kills Native Grass
While wo do not have the same
serious problem of intensive cultiva-
ton which obliterated the last YES
tiges Of native prairie in parts Of
Iowa and eastern Nebraska, yet we
do ..evertheless have one sufficiently
serious to promise destruction to
many Of our wild plants. Continued
haying has wiped out the wonderful
native blue joint grass over thou
sands of acres of our river bottom
land. Too close pasturing is killing
out in many places the rich native
grama grass and other valuable ma
tives. And the little gray arten1isia
frigida or sage, the Russian thistle
and many other worthless imported
weeds are replacing them, ~orth OF
town.
And all of this destruction and
loss both economic and esthetic has
been wrought by the civilized white
man through carelessness, failure to
vision the future, lack of education,
and the sch boy spirit of destruc-
tiveness.
And what Of the future? What
can we do about these conditions :?
Can we in fact do anything? The
answer is, l believe, that we can.
Conservation Of our native wild life
can be brought about and there are
two methods which should be fol-
lowed jointly in promoting such con-
servation.
First, l believe there should be in
stituted a system of reserves where
our native wild life, both plant and
animal, may persist undisturbed by
humanity, which, after all, is their
only requirement. We cannot and
do not want to bring back aborig-
iral conditions over all the state.
There is as much beauty in a fine
field of grain as in the unbroken
prairie. The buffalo grazed just as
do dur cattle. But much Of our land
is not tillable, and our pastures may
be grazed without being destroyed,
There ART plentiful tracts In oul
state whose greatest value is in the
beauty they can show us. The wild
fruits and berries may be gathered
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-10-27

the latter can appreciate the part
which natural beauty and the esthe-
tic play in q broad and useful life.
Those who answer affirmatively to
the first question must be educated
out Of pure materialism.
Educatioa Necessary
The second and most important
step IN conserving our native wild
life is education Of the people. And
this is perhaps even more difficult
to put through. You all know the
general attitude toward anything
wild displayed by the average per-
SON. And the automobile has IN.
creased 4 thousand fold the DAMAGES
done BY the thoughtless and ire
sponsible.
The furthest and most hidden
hooks are invaded, bushes and trees
are wantonly cut or broken down,
wild plants and flowers are uprooted
and carried off or cast aside after q
brief inspection. So bad have these
conditions become that the Indian
agents have issued orders that berry
pickers shall not be allowed on the
reservations. Harmless wild birds
and animals are slaughtered for the
mere sport Of killing and game is
taken without regard to need or
ability to use. Camp sites and pic
mic grounds are left with rubbish
and tin cans scattered about with
broken trees and bushes and
trampled grass and flowers.
Concerted Campaign Necessary
Only concerted campaign
against these things will avail to
change conditions. A new viewpoint
must be produced among our people
generally. I am reminded again Of
our trip with Mr.. Seton. He early
laid down his camp rules which were
that tn camp must be so placed as
to do as little harm az possible:
only dead wood was to be gathered,
all rubbish and refuse must be
buried before the site was left, and
he himself always patrolled the
ground as camp was broken, saying
that the place must be left looking
even little better and cleaner than
it was when we came. When all of
US can be trained to the same feel
ing our problem Of conservation will
be solved.
In carrying on this work Of edu-
cation, newspaper publicity. pamph-
let's, posters, lectures and the back
ing Of many organizations are all
necessary. together with the outspok-
en- support Of prominent people. The
hunters can help by observing and
helping to enforce our game laws,
the plant lovers by bringing to gen.
eral attention the value and beauty
Of our n4tive plants.
There has remained strongly in
nv mind ever since saw It in the
Black Hills last summer . poster
issued by the Izaak Walton League.
It depicts an Indian in Z natural
background and under It are the
words. "He took onlv what he need
ed" In other words we can learn
much about conservation from our
native Indians who believed that
every living thing had = soul and
personality Of its own and right
bestowed by the Great One Above to
its own place on this earth.
In practicing conservation let US
include then our aboriginal people
from whom we can, If we will, garn-
er much Of philosophic wisdom and
let us encourage them to preserve
the ancient, picturesque ceremonials

|. Young Pines Where There Was
Nothing
LIE. us glance for a moment 1t our
sister state to the south. On my
| trip with the Seton party we stopped
for . short time In the Slim
Buttes in western South Dakota.
This area i part Of a national for
est reserve and has been so since
Roosevelt set it aside. ! had seen
it som 10 years before when It had
only recently become q reserve, and
the contrast which 10 years Of pro-
lection had wrought was amazing.
Now there are thousands Of sturdy
young pines growing up where be-
fore there was nothing. Most OF
the big trees had ben cut for ranch
buildings and overgrazing kept the
seedlings from surviving On the
slopes and level tops ARE. myriads Of
wild flow ers including many Of our
rarest, such as the beautiful mari
posa lily. Grazing is permitted but
no overgrazing is allowed. There
are even few mule deer surviving
in the deep recesses among the
buttes and antelope are increasing
along the sides. Then out on the
plain to the west the state has es-
tablished an antelope reserve of
nearly q township. It is in the hands
Of a capable and interested keeper
who seemed to take delight in show
ing us around. There are plans for
a cooperative reserve in which the
Slim Buttes area may become a part
of a larger project. The reserve al
ready holds some $50 antelope and
the keeper stated that several hum
dred more would be taken inside the
fence next winter.
You who have read the book by
Lincoln Lang, Branching With
Roosevelt" will recall his descrip-
ton of the great changes in the
Bad Lands between the time when
he first saw them and the time when
he left them, changes due primarily
to overgrazing.
It would seem that our own state
might do as well as our southern
neighbor. Whether we get a ma
tional park in the Bad Lands or not,
large tracts there and in the Kill
deer mountains should be set aside
as game and plant reserves. They
could readily be stocked with elk,
antelope and buffalo and the plant
life undisturbed would soon come
back to its former natural condition.
Smaller tracts in other sections such
as the Turtle and Pembina noun
tains could also be acquired and set
aside. So would we always have
natural beauty spots, a nursery for
the many beautiful native plants and
an outdoor museum Of plant and ami
NAL life.
The critic may ask whether this
conservation program is worth while
or not. The only answer is that to
the old question do we live to eat,
or do we eat to live?' In other
words is our sole purpose on earth
to produce for our own sustenance,
like a squirrel in q cage or dog on
a treadmill, or is sustenance merely
q necessary accompaniment In carry
ing on the adventure Of living :?

Farrell Discounts Story
of Asserted Bribe Made
to Tunney.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.--With Gene
Tunney and Jack Dempsey APP
preaching what the boys call the
last lap of training for the world IS
heavyweight championship fight,
the customers today were begin
ming to be more persistent in their
inquiries as to how they were going
to be able to see the fight.
There is no lack of customers from
$40 down. Tex Rickard, who Is
permitting himself to sit back aud
lot his Chicago associates "take the
rap from the angry mob predicts
he will have 10000 customers at
Soldiers Field.
"We ii have about three millions
to count up after the fight" Rick
ard said.
There always have been yclls in
every fight l ever staged,' Rick
ard said, "but in this fight, we
have perfect arrangements. The
sale of the tickets is being handled
by n committee of disinterested
persons.
The concern being manifested by
the customers is mindful of the
football game last year between the
army and the navy in the same
field. Chicago's commercial, social
and professional leaders raised n
mighty roar because they couldn It
buy front row boxes unless they
went to spectators.
Beyond the fact, as advertised,
that Tunney and Dempsey are go
ing to meet in return bout for the
championship, Chicago doesn T
know much about the fight. The
gamblers of Broadway, New York,
appear to have much more informa-
tion.
There was the story going around
New York Yesterday that the same
men who fixed the 1919 world S
series had offered Tunncy a million
to throw the fight and that Tun-
ney was SO incensed he almost
sworc.
Such stories always are passed
around before a big fight. Person.
ally, wc do not believe that there is
enough money in the world to turn
either of the two fighters.
