CAPT. MARCOTTE RELATES STIRRING EVENTS IN STATE Tells of Hardships in Regular Sioux During Building of The Tribune is in receipt of a letter from Capt. Henry Marcotte, of St. Augustine, Fla, first lieutenant! surveyor’s portable hut minus win- H. Co. 17th infantry, in which he! dows and door; cook stove, also congratulates the Tribune for its part in the fathering of the union of Bismarck and Mandan, and en- closes a letter of reminiscenses about the development of the state by the projectors of the Northern Pacific y. Capt. Marcott's letter reads as follows: To (mentally) journey “Along the Scenic Highway” by reading the story of the wonderful developments, ini- tiated by the projectors of the Nor- thern Pacific Railway, who, despite adversity, opened the path through thousands of miles of wealth-burd- ened wilderness, thereby solving seemingly impossible problems, is gmazing to one who had shared the hardships of isolation and conflicts with hostile Sioux, with units of the little regular army while maintain- ng the barrier between the aggress- ive White-man and the Indian be- fore the building of the railway west of the Red River of the North and the consequent influx of settlers to bring forth the fruits of the virgin soil from Lake Superior to Puget Sound. But, surely, the writer who so in- terestingly pictures the cities, towns, villages, farms, the products and the prosperity must be a fairy tale com- poser, or a dreamer, inasmuch that I failed to see anything so described “Along The Scenic Highway”, when trailing-that route to and from Fort Rice on the Missouri River to the mountain ranges of the Yellowstone, on the several preliminary surveys,’ and from ‘Fort Abraham Lincoln to the Red River of the North, there- fore it behooves me to unreel the brain-filmed picture and give the data of a “sleigh joy ride” fifty years ago and ask ‘Who's Dream- ing?” 26 Fort Abraham, Lincoln.

D., Sept. 8.—It is im- portant. to plant onions as early as it is possible to get them into the ground, according .to A. F. Yeager. horticulturalist “at the’ agricultural college. Mr. Yeager has figures to show that a few weeks difference in time of planting may actually mean a difference in yiel@ of more than 100 bushels to the -acre. One.record is of Southport Yellow Globe onions, The first’ seeding was April 25—the earliest time possible. The yield was 486 bushels per acre. May sixth seeding purchased 234 bu- shels and May 26th seeding resulted in a garnering of but 138 bushels per acre. Mr. Yerger explains this differ- ence is production by stating that | the onion needs all the cool weother) average net income of $2,280 for the possible. in. which. to mature. A. good start before the hat weather comes means a tremendous difference in production. _ Tests made in determining the best seeded onions for production in North Dakota indicate that the Southport (whether red, white or yellow) the Red Weathersfield, Yel- low Globe Danvers and the Silver- skin of the varieties tested are the best producers. | SPORT BRIEFS | CLUBS FIND AUTOS BEST TRANSPORTATION: ; ‘Wahpeton, N.

WHEAT GROWERS HANDLED MUCH OF CROP, CLAIM Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 8.— With threshing just barely under- way the North Dakota Wheat Growers association, during the last. week in August, handled 100- 000 bushels of wheat, paying in advances thereon 70.per cent of the local market price, according to A. J. Scott, secretary of the or- ganization. This would indicate; that the association is a going con-!| cern, and that ample finances are available for pooling and. selling the 1922 crop of its members. This was done without the use of any. portion of the $5,000,000 loan ‘from the U. S. War Finance’ corporation, which will not ® be available until September 15. In; the meantime, North Dakota bank- | vers are carrying the loan, but as the storage tickets are guilt-edge security, they are doing it willing- ly, as\far as their names permit. Of these 100,000 bushels, 60,000 represent grain stored in local ele- vators while 40,000 bushels were shipped direct to the sales agencies in Duluth and Mipneapolis, it, was said. e bd 4 t : beautiful own serra sie! ee ger of qo : NAILGLOSSING polish.Raished witha rotecting coat that \ preserves the lustre for ten days up ex- ils de- HART'S MARINELLO SHOP, 48; ‘ Opposite G.
