PAGE TWO. =. WEDNESDAY, APRIL: 5, 1922: MANDAN, CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION OF NO, AMERICA? Mandan Indians ‘Were Discover-| ed By La Verendrye Broth- ers In 1742 Mandan, which recently took unto itself the title “Out where the West begins,” at one time may Nave been the cradle of civilization for North America, north of New Mexico, The Mandan Indians are “in per- sonal appearance ag well as_intelli- gence the superiors of any Indians { living north of New Mexico,” accord- ing to John Fiske, the historian. They were first discovered by the! brothers LaVerendrye in 1742. In 1838 most of the tribe was swept away ‘by smallpox, Catlin, a historiap, who visited them in the middle of the 19th century was, so impressed by their culture that he ascribed white blood to them, He went back to the misty tradition of a Wels1 | prince, Madoc, said to have sailed for America in 1170, to provide white for- bears for the tribe. To substantiate this theory he made a ‘list of many names which cound alike in Welsh and ‘Mandap. He believed that Madoc! might have sailed up the Mississippi} and the Missouri rivers to the present site of Mandan,: ‘Fiske believed that the Mandans may be the descendants of a lost race of mound builders, remains of whose villages exist in the Ohio and Missis-! sippi valleys today. There is’ no record that “mother right” prevailed among the Mandans as it did among some of the American red men. This is a system of reckon ing descent from the mother, This tribe was noted because it had the finest “communal or apartment houses known in America north of the; adobe (buildings of Mexico. These houses were round, 40 to 60 feet in dia. meter, rising to a summit from tie enter, Wooden slabs were put over ‘2 system of posts and stringers, then willow matting and prairie grass and finally two feet of-earth. Safely en- sconced fbehind such walls the Man-| dans shut out alike, the blazing splen- dor of a North Dakota winter night and the thirty below winds that howled down from what is now Medicine Hat. Circular openings at the summit of the roof “let in some light and let out some of the smoke from the circular, fire pit directly beneath them,” accord- | ing to Fiske. Buffalo robes formed the door and) mattings and skins, the partitions in! If you are one of those who like the stories of Conan Doyle, Anna Kathe- rine Green, Wilkie‘ Collins, Mary Roberts Rinehart, or the plays of Avery Hopwood, then you have one of the rarest of treats in store for you when Wagenhals and Kemper present their great dramatic triumph, “The Bat,” written by Mrs. Rinehart and Mr. Hopwood in collaboration, at the Auditorium on Wednesday, April 12. “The Bat’s” record in the theatrical world is unique. It is unquestionably the greatest hit in years. It has now been playing one entire year in New York and = simultaneously, another company has been playing for a year the first week after schoo] breaks up i While it is not quite ided, it is hoped that suitable arrangements can be made to go to the St, Gabriel’s camp near Cannon Ball, Lewis Grambs has resigned his po- sition as Hon, ‘Scribe and his resig- nation was very regretfully accepted the (Episcopal troop as editor for the Inter-Scout, paper. This paper will be published in the interests of all troops in town and will be edited with these houses. Pictorial and quill work provided the interior decorations. The! Mandan villages wére surrounded by; stout palisades ten feet high. { On the prairie a short distance fron} the'village were elevated platforms on | which the Indians laid thelr dead. 1 Some of the Indians of the Mandan j tribe still live in this area. | MORTON COUNTY HAS “GALL” AND‘ | STEEL HAS “HOPE” Of course he is ‘rom Steele county, said hangers-on at the recent Nonpar- tisan convention at Fargo, when ‘it was announced that John Sherman of} Steele had been nominated for con-} gressman in the Second North Dakota | district. And then it was charged | that’ they were being “kidded” when | it was announced that the town of Steele was in Kidder county. It hap- pens to be the county seat of that county. Investigation proved that Steele county and town were not the only town and county in the state that failed to be together. In fact, the lack of towns being in the county of the same name is very -pronounced. Adams is in both Walsh and Rich- | land counties, while Barnes, the vil- lage is in Morton county. Benson, the town, is in LaMoure county, while Adams the county regains some of its prestige by having Hettinger for its county seat. McKenzie is in. Burleigh, Mercer is in McLean, while the villages of Pierce hold ‘forth in both Slope and Burleigh. Ransom, the town, is. in Sargent county, and Renville, the town, is in Dunn. And as stated be- fore, Steele is in Kidder. To those who have followed North Dakota politics for any length of time, it seems to be natural to have Alexander in McKenzie county and Jud in LaMoure county. That hardly prepares -one, however, for Cuba in Barnes county and Havana in Sar- gent. a In considering characteristics, Mor- ton county has Gall and Steele has Hope, while Morton also has a Huff at all times. Burleigh has a Still to join Glen (Wallace as editor-in-chief. It will try to fill a long felt want and there is no doubt of its ultimate suc- cess under its able leade: ip. By the combined efforts of all the troops in town and through the kind- ness of Mr, \Wingreen a splendid mo- tion picture play will be shown in the near future and after all, expenses are paid, the proceeds will be used to help, the camp funds of the troops which join in this effort. Richard Dewhurst is now. senior pa- ‘trol ledder for the Epi Cart Massen is patrol leader for his patrol. Notice’ a very important meeting of Troop No. 8 will be held next Monday. Baseball practice and tryout on Sat- urday next, north of Mandan avenue. ‘Boys wishing to get a chance on the team are expected to be there without fail, SAKAKAWEA GIRL SCOUTS. The Sakakawea Girl Scouts held their regular meeting. last Tuesday evening at the high school. Miss Stanka took charge of the meeting in} the absence of the captain, Miss/ Remey. After the regular Scout pro- védure and business the following pro-; gram was. given by the Flicker-tail| patrol: Reading—‘“The Hatchet Story,” Eve-| lyn Ge@rge, Selection from “Good Gravy”—Alice; Larson. ‘Boy’s Essay on a Girl—Clara Sperry.

This»is absolutely. with- out precedent in the theater. \ The success of “The Bat” is un- doubtedly due ‘to the fact that it ap- peals to all classes of theatergoers. It is, thrilling and at the ‘same time screamingly funny. Staged with all the skill of. Wagenhals and Kemper, master hands at producing stage suc- cesses, the. play, moreover, is acted with consummate skill by an,excep- tionallyy:eapable company which in- cludes Lizzie Evans, William L. Thorn, Lucille Morris, Josephine Morse, Jo- seph M. Holicky, Charles Cahill Wil- son, Arthur Hughes, Edward Pawley, Paul Huber and George Allan Wilson.

Freight Car Of Asparagus Shipped ‘ By Parcel Post Washington, April 5—Shipments of fruits and vegetables in great! quanti- ties by retail and wholesale merchants to all sections of the United States is steadily increasing, according to re- ports made to General Superintendent W. H. Riddell, of the Railway Mail Service. £ As an illustration of the use to, which the parcel post is being put by merchants, it was asserted by Super- intendent Riddel that recently an en- tire freight car was loaded with in- dividual cases of asparagus and ship- ped by parcel post rates. Each parcel however, conformed to weight regula- tions, and it would not have been pos- Lever Bros. Co., Cambridge, : SS sible to ship the car load as a bulk, it was explained. Department officials said that there appeared to be no reason why suffi- cient numbers of crates to make up a half car or a car load, cannot be ship- ped in the future as parcel post. Par- cels of a perishable nature, however, which are likely to spoil within the time reasonably required for trans- portation and delivery, will not, it was said, be accepted for mailing. The rates for parcel post matter depend upon the zone to which shipped and the weight of the package.
