D., Oct. 4.—If you seek familiarity with the daily bill of fare which prevailed in North Dako ta in the year 916 you will be inter ested in a collection of edibles of 1, 000 years ago which Dr. M. R. Gil more, curator of the state historical museum, brought back with him from the annual fair of the Fort Berthold reservation at Elbowwoods. This exposition was attended by descendants of the very first families of North Dakota—the Mandans, Hl dat8us and the Arickaras—descend ants of those same kindly natives who more than a hundred years ago sheltered Lewis and Clark through a long winter and in' the spring sped them westward, with ample provi sions and a guide. Always Were Farmers. The members of these three tribes, who have lived together in harmony in the plains country of the Missouri for hundreds of years, have always been able husbandmen. They have done much to aid in the domestica tion of corn, beans, squashes and oth er vegetables brought north from Mexico, and their exhibits at the re cent fair prove that they are no less skilled in modern agronomy. An unusual display of ofd-time, ab original products was brought out by special prizes offered by Dr. Gil more. Among the exhibits are three varieties of flour corn—the white, yellow and red, which have been cultivated on the slopes of the Missouri for prob ably a thousand years. An interesting exhibit consists of a box manufactured by Mrs. Red Tail, an Arlckara, which shows six varie ties of the old-time beans introduced here from Mexico, and grown by the Arickaras for hundreds of years dry corn, roasted on the ear, in the husk, and allowed to steam in its own juic es, producing the sweetest of all dried seeds dried June berries, dried choke cherries pounded into a pulp and formed into cakes, and dried tipsin roots, used when fresh as potatoes and when dried pounded into flour. Old Custer Scout Won frrlze. Strikes Two, one of Custer's most faithful Arlckara scouts, carried off a special prize with an entry of an an cient Arlckara variety of bean, called from its appearan9e "Quails Head," which was entirely new to Dr. Gil more, In spite of the fact that the lat ter's researches have extended over all the plains country. Another prize entry,.of Strfkes Ttvo's was a specimen of native Arlckara tobacco, cured as according torr oufrtom In -the entire plant, which will be carefully pre served in -the, museum cases. In addi tion to the plant,' Strikes Two present ed Dr. Gilmore with a sample of the blossoms and seeds, which are picked and cures separately. The tobacco grows In bush form, with small leaves, cures green and has small re semblance to its modern descendant. Of a decidedly appetizing odor, al though not tempting to the eye, is a cake made by separately parching corn, beans and sun-flower seed, grinding them to a powder and mold ing. The sunflower seed, which is the only genuine native of the lot, the •ther ingredients being of Mexican descent, furnishes enough oil to blend the corn and' the beans. It is a food which is easily preserved, compact and easily transported, and was much used on marches. Some Ancient Pottery. Mrs. Red Tail, said to be the last potter on the reservation, sold to Dr. Gilmore a small vessel, slightly larger than a tea-cup, which she had molded and baked. Although nicely shaped, the little jug is the color of lignite coal, being composed of dark clays with pounded rock to provide the necessary fusing qualities.

Fargo. N. D., Oct. 4.—Further com plications for the constantly increas ing flood peril in the Red river valley are brought to light by a commission which has just concluded an 800-mile automobile tour of the district drain ed by the Red river, and who see in the rapid advance of drainage opera tions peril greater than has previous ly prevailed. In Richland county, with over forty drain ditches constructed in the last five years Wilkin. Clay and Traverse counties, in Minnesota, with nearly 100 more drain ditches constructed during the same period, and with Cass county, in North Dakota, construct ing many new drains in recent years and authorizing $250,000 more worth of work, the survey commission sees the creation of a condition that must receive the joint attention of the states of North Dakota. Minnesota and South Dakota, as well as the aid of the federal government. Water which under the old system did not reach the Red river for from forty-eight hours to a week after a rainfall, is now dumped into the stream within a very short time of a rain and the channel is not great enough to carry off the surplus water. Lake Source Larger. Traverse lake, in which the Red river rises, ordinarily a body of water about eighteen miles long and from a few feet to a half mile wide, is today three to four miles wide and much higher. The town of White Rock, S. D., is completely marooned, and the place is reached by a narrow causeway com pletely surrounded by flood "waters. Every building in the town is sur rounded by water: the sidewalks are just a few inches above the water line. One resident said he had not been able to cross the back yard of his place throughout the summer because of the high water. "The Red river district faces seri ous flood conditions unless remedial steps are taken immediately," said H. W. Geary. Jr., a member of the com mittee. "The farmers and business men throughout the district are talk ing and working for additional drain age projects, and each new drain sim ply adds to the flood dangers. Need Concerted Action. "Concerted action is essential if we are to avoid a repetition of the floods of this season." The six new drain projects author ized in Cass county today will pro videwdrainaga- In. the. so-called Daven port district. All told, 100,000 acres will be drained the drains will cost about $250,000 and are forty-two miles long. TOBACCO GROWERS GET LITTLE Of THE PROFITS Society of Equity President Says Growers of Kentucky Are De nied Just Profits. Tobacco growers of the south, par ticularly of Kentucky, are getting but a small percentage of the actual value of their produce, according to the statement of M. P. Johnson, president of the North Dakota Society of Equity who passed through Grand Forks over the Great Northern last night. Mr. Johnson spent nine weeks in Kentucky in organization work in the hope of creating better market con ditions. It is a revival of the old question of grading, of fixing the price of the commodity at which the farmer must sell, and the producer has no voice irf determining either the price or the grade. No state regulations of any kind govern either marketing or grading. Mr. Johnson stated that the present price received by the producer is only about 25 per cent of what it should be. In an attempt to remedy the situation, the Society of Equity is ad vocating collective bargaining." Just as the fruit growers of the west have combined, in order to secure just re turns.
