Rev. Thomas E. Nugent and son
Robert, have returned from a ten
day's trip to Saskatchewan, where
they visited with 0 .Z. McGee, man
ager of a large farm near Redvers.
They made the trip by auto, and found
the roads both bad and good, having
140 miles of mud on the trip. Crops
generally were about the same as
around Valley City. The best yield of
wheat was reported at Sherwood, N.
D., where a man had threshed 22 bush
els to the acre. The best rye yield was
in Saskatchewan, about 50 miles north
of the border, where a field threshed
cut 27 bushels per acre. One strip of
territory was crossed where there was
almost nothing—the country between
Fessenden and Drake. Stock general
ly was in fine condition, and feed
plentiful. Many fine fields of corn
were seen, all of good quality. Busi
ness conditions in Canada were re
ported much easier than in the states.
Wheat prices were higher, No. 1 Mar
quis bringing $1.92 on the Winnipeg
market. Money was easier to get
"nd people generally quite optimistic.
"ne feature noted was the increase of
the amount of stock on the farms
-"id ranches, especially sheep. Most
of the farmers are talking stock very
strongly, and there is much interest
in that kind of development.
Carl Pfaff. manager of the People's
Co-operative Trading Co., machinery
department,' has now accumulated a
new toy in the shape of a motor boat
T.d on Sunday tried out the boat for
fr-st time. Now Carl is well versed
in running tractors International
trucks. Studebaker cars and the like,
but when it comes to running a motor
hont. Carl is lost. In the f\rst place
the river is not wide enough, and then
serain thp nath is not laid out as it is
on a well traveled road, and if there
is a stump, or a bridge that Carl
didn't hit yesterday afternoon he
wants to know where it is. He says
:f
the N. P. had cut the piling out from
under the high bridge things would
not have been so bad but when he
got to the bridge all he could see was
piling and of course he had to hit
them. Then the bull heads in the
river are not as well educated as they
should be and insist on getting into
the intake pipe and as any engine
must have water to run, of course
his engine not being able to get water
grot red hot and stopped.
We understand that these are onlv a
few of the minor trouble on his first
t"it and we understand that Mrs.
P^aff has decided she and the children
will not venture on the river aeain
until Carl takes a special pilot's
examination. Carl today is looking
for
the. o-uy, that told Ivm there was
no trouble connected with running a
motor boat

A party of men who were apparent
ly holding a conversation concerning
the threshing and other street talk,
were almost thrown into a panic this
morning when a wild colt came down

Chief Red Feather, the Indian who
is appearing at the Grand this eve
ning has a very interesting personal
history. One day while he was a small
boy playing around his home in Okla
homa, a stranger rode up and asked
him for something to eat. The little
fellow gave the stranger a good meal
and was asked about his family.
When the stranger finished his meal
he asked if the boy would give him
some food for some friends of his who
were close to the cabin. The boy as
sented and went with the stranger to
hiding place not far away where*he
found a band of men with their horses
all saddled, but all at rest. They ate
with great relish the food that was
brought, and then one of them called
the Indian .lad and stuffed his pockets
with money in large bills. They also
gave him a letter to take to his folks
saying that the boy must be sent to
school. The leader in this unusual in
cident was norte other than Jesse
James, the famous bandit and bank
robber. The boy was sent immedi
ately to Philadelphia and entered in
the schools there. Coming home for
Christmas two years later he found
$800 in bills tied to a twig on a bush
near his cabin, from the same source
The letter is still preserved, and is a
a much valued document. The boy
completed his schooling, and did not
know until long afterwards who, his
benefactor was. The Chief will be
heard again this evening the Grand
and will sing three Indian songs: "Day
by Day," "Gimme the Leavings," and
"Indian Engagement Song."
Stories of
Great Scouts
By Elmo
Scott
Watson
©, Western Newspaper Union.
SHARPE GROVER, "BEST SCOUT
GOVERNMENT EVER HAD"
"The best scout the governmdht ever
had," said some of the army officers
for whom Sharpe Grover scouted dur
ing the Indian wars In Kansas in
J8G7-GS, and more than once he showed
himself worthy of the title. He had
married a Sioux woman, and lived
with the tribe for years. He could
speak their language and knew their
ways. As a trailer and reader of
signs, Grover was without a peer.
He could tell how long since the
tracks had meen made whether they
were by horses or ponies, shod or un
shod how many were ridden, how
many were driven whether it was a
war party or one moving from one
camp to another.
When the Sioux went on the war
path in 1S66, Grover left them and
joined the army as a scout for Custer.
In August, 1868, with Billy Comstock,
another noted scout, he visited the
camp of Chief Turkey Leg of the Chey
ennes, whose warriors were supposed
to bp friendly. One of the Indians,
however, saw the line pearl-handled re
volver carried by Comstock and deter
mined to have it. When the scouts
left the camp seven Cheyennes rode
away with them.
While engaged in friendly conversa
tion, the Indians suddenly dropped to
the rear and opened fire. Comstock
was killed instantly and Grover badly
wounded, but lying on the ground and
making a desperate defense of Com
stock's body, he fought off the Indians
until nightfall and escaped.
The next month Grover joined Gen.
G.'A. Forsyth's band of scouts and
was with them at the celebrated
Beecher's Island fight. As Roman
Nose's warriors shouted to each other,
Grover understood everything they
said, and told Forsyth what they were
planning to do. After the biggest
charge of the Sioux and Cheyennes
had been turned back. Forsyth turned
to Grover and said: "Can they do bet
ter than that, Grover?"
"I have been on the plaiiii, man and
boy, for 30 years, and I never saw such
a charge before," was the scout's reply,
"1 think tliey have done their level
best."
"All right, we're good for them,
then." said Forsyth.
For years the fact that Grover was
with Forsyth that day was kept from
the Indians, for he was friendly with
them, and they would have killed him
without mercy, had they known. Later
they did learn it and attempted sev
eral rimes to kill him, but he always
escaped. Unfortunately Grover drank
heavily, and a few years after the
Beecher fight he was killed in a
row at Pond City, near Fort Wallace,
an inglorious end for so great a sco*ut.
Left an Opening.
"Opportunity is knocking at your
door," said the Optimist.
"I hate the whole tribe of knock
ers,!" growled the Pessimist.
"That being the case." said the Op
timist, preparing to duck, "It's quite
obvious tliat you hate yourself."

MANY HOMES BEING BUILT
Winnipeg, Man. Aug. 30.—Sixty-two homes already
occupied, 177 houses started and 194 loans passed is the
record so far of the Winnipeg housing commission. The
city pledges the credit of home builders. Loan companies
have been reluctant to take unsecurd loans for home build

view to alleviating conditions.
