BOUT THEIR ” 20-HILE HIKE Have Interesting Trip to ~ Gain Merit Badges Two members of Boy Scout troop No, 6 recently took about a 20-mile thike in order to qualify for their hiking merit badges. They had a sory interesting trip, which they de- ae ed to a Tribune reforter as fol- jows: “We left town with our packs as early as we ‘could get away after breakfast, taking witn us ell the re- duirements for cooking two vege- ‘tables, a camp stew, rice pudding and an omelet. This, a8 you will sec, Tequired several cooking utensils not an the usual mess kit which had to be packed in. “Our coyrse lay a mile west of the Fort Lincoln road which brought us to the dynamite warehouses. There are three of these buildings which are isolated from each other and are very carefully locked and posted with signs allowing no shooting or other commotion that would cause danger. Right by is a large sand and gravel pit operated by the Wachter Transfer company. The Fort Burial Grounds “Going on south from the gravel pits we walked along the west side of the Fort Lincoln military preserve. An interesting spot in this section was the burial grounds of the fort, where we found three graves; one headstone was erected to Brown, an- other to Lawson, while the third one was unnamed. Flags that had ‘been placed on ‘the graves by friends were still doing their duty, although one had become loosened at one corner. Fixing up this flag as best we could, ‘we continued on our way. “Phe next item of interest we found to inspect was the old power house gy pump station connected with the fott grounds. The boilers and pumps are still in the building, al- though not connected, and we de- scended to the bottom of a 25-foot cement well evidently used as a res- ervoir, The building and well must thave been well built as neither show- ed any signs of decay. “Leaving the pump station some disctssion ensued as to whether we should continue due south or go half a mile cast to see Lieutenant Beaver’s grave; so a compromise was made in that we went south for some half a mile and, finding a road going dia- gonally across the field we struck the road near which this grave is Jocatéd. Lieutenant Beaver was con- Pectod with General Sibley’s forces fwas shot by Indians and buried imi trench, An emergency lodge of"Masons was convened and he was buried with Masonic honors, and as this was the first Masonic meeting on record in what is now North Da- kota, the Masons have erected a tab- let to his memory and to commemor- ate the spot. A picture of the mod- ern Boy Scout was taken standing *Feverentiy by this tablet erected over} the body of the old Indian scout. saw Field Mouse and Rabbit “Continuing» our way we tock a diagonal cut across the fields toward the Methodist seout cabin. As we entered the timber along Apple Creek we saw our first wild animal, whic! ‘wee a large field mouse. As we cliaged the mouse from cover to cover we seared up the only rabbit we saw all day. We then crossed the creek and went up to the Methodist cabin which we found securely locked and shuttered. The cabin and grounds ‘were very neat and tidy. We rested quite a little here before continuing ‘on our way. 5 “As it was snowing just a little we could not see very far, but made out the broad expanse of the river over the tree tops and struck out through the trees in that general direction. We heard a bird sing out Chick-a-dee- dee-dee, but although we looked very carefuly could not locate it. The Missouri appeared before us all at ‘once and we found ourselves just at the north end of Sibley Island. We were Mismayed to find water some six igches deep along the chore of the river and walked up and down the bank for some distance before we could find a place narrow enough to jump across, and crossing the ice in the slough or side stream we found it necessary.to cross the water on the side next the sand bar. Crossing the sand bar we were surprised to sce what appeared to be geese, but on approaching them we saw that some 15 or 20 ducks were feeding in what we thought was another seepage or overflow. We got a real thrill when we came within a few feet to see that it was the turbulent old Missouri roll- ing right under us. We were each carrying driftwood which we expecte: to use in getting over the seepage on sthe west shore of the river and we now clutched: the woed more firmly as it would not be surprising if we ‘ ghould step on a thin piece of ice over that racing, flood. But we found no further difficulty, even very little flood water on the west side. | The Joys of Camping “By this time we were getting pretty tired and ‘hungry too, so as soon as a favorable place presented itself, shelter from the wind, wood for a fire and close to the river, we made our camp for noon. Two short but large logs were placed side by side for the fixe place and we soon had a nice blaze coming up between thom. Ice was cut fram the river ‘and ‘melted for our water supply and ‘we started iboth the stew and our vegetables going. “As we had to melt all our water it seemed that the water boiled away swfally fast from these dishes. The next dish we started cooking was rice for whe rice pudding, and this had to be-watched very carefully to keep: it feom burn- , ing’or sticking to the bottom of the dish. My pal did not want me to-put any sugar into the pudding, eeying that we could put it.on as we ete it, |, but I prevailed upon ‘him”™el etirred it in and- were ay glad we had Lest tea Ripeniritd pud- dij ‘tas! very | sy eC pas ‘and: stew: poets Mabe’ although we werp so hungry that we ‘did not let the stew'cook #s long ab we otherwise might have done. We we n| taken us something over two hours to prepare and eat our dinner. “Climbing ‘up to the higher land '|we found that we were some six miles farther down the river than we thought we would be and consequent- ay that much farther from old Fort ‘Limeoln. However, we finally reached the site ‘of the fort residences and | inspected the tablet erected by the; Mandan Chapter 6f the D. A. R. As! does not seem to be generally known, | these residences were not on top of, the hill where the fort was, but were | almost a mile south of the hill on/ the flat not’ far from the river. } Declined a Ride j “We next came to the Fort Lincoin| hill and after some discussion as to whether we could climb that and walk home too, decided to try it and did succeed in doing both. We took the! shortest roati home from the Fort, that-Being the cutoff to the Solen road from the paving. “We were offered a ride by two Legion men and a lady but though it looked good wd declined with thanks as it would not do to spoil a good hike like that by taking a ride. “We found this a very interesting and instructive hike, but would not advise anyone to walk across the river now who is not thoroughly ac- quainted with all its vagaries.” TO PROTEST SHELLING OF HIS VESSEL Owner of Schooner Eastwood Says He Will Fight Case to the Limit Luenenberg, N. S., Feb. 24.—-(2)— B. B. Cann of Yarmouth, owner of the schooner Eastwood, which is al- leged to have been shelled about a week ago while at anchor 20 miles| off Long Island, N. Y., by the ed States coast guard cutter: Sen is preparing to register formal pro-| test at Ottawa with the Canadian government. ‘ “I would not consider myself a pa- triotie ei ” says Mr. Cann in a statement, “unless I registered a! protest against this sort of treat- ment. I will surely make a formal protest to the government at Ottawa. I intend to fight this case to the very limit, not because of the dam- age done to my vessel, nor the ex- pense to myself, but because I, as a, Canadian, will not stand idle and al-! low any foreign country to treat the Union Jack as a joke when it 1s hoisted on the mast of a British’ merchantman, CHURCH HEADS URGE AGAINST MODIFICATION: Attack Report on Prohibition Made by Federal Council of Churches Washihgton, Feb. 24.—(#)—The re- cent report on prohibition by the re-! search department of the federal council of churches is attacked as “an inexcusable betrayal of many church @odies,” in a statement is- sued by high officials of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, Methodist Eniscopal church south, the Metho- dist Protestant church and the Unit- ed Brethern church. The statement said the “present confusion seems to be fue in large part” to the federal council’s report, adding “we repudiate it as unscien- tific in its methods, unwarranted and misleading in its conclusions, a pr duct of provinci , a striking ex- ample of the domination of local sur- roundings and special conditions.” Attached to the statement were the signatures of Bishop James Cannon, Jr. chairman of the commission on temperance and social service of the £ Methodist Episcome church south; Bishop Wm. F. McDowell, president, and Dr. Clarence True Wilson, sec retary of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church; Bishop W. M, Bell, 3% the United Brethern Church and Dr. Thomas H. Lewis, president of the general conference of’ the Methodist Protestant church.

WILL ABIDE BY ACTION OF CONVENTION (Continued from page one) least three additional names would be placed before the convention. In addition to the consideration of candidates for state office, Republi cans were laying their lines for their convention tomorrow at which a can- didate for the senatorship will be en- dorsed. Observers generally - ex- pressed the belief that Hanna could ing the fight for former R. A. Nestos, was continuing its ef- forts. Deadlock Possibility Discounted The possibility.of 11 dendlock, with resultant swing to athird man, was generally discounted. The © tials committee recom- mended that part of éach of the two contesting delegations from ‘Forks county be seated.

People Not In Favor of League Program The temporary organization w made permanent and, in a keynote | address, Chairman’ ‘Stutsman de- clared that the I. V.

The-most . imporiant were rules limiting speeche minutes and requiring a majority of all votes cast to nominate for any office. A proposal to require all candidates to support not only tke I. V. A. ticket but senatorial and congressional candidates to be selected at the real Republican convention tomorrow was referred to a committee when Demo: crats objected to supporting Repub- licans for congressional offices. : The committee on resolutions, ap- pointed by the chairman on m of A.

Ward county; A. L, Mart Valley county; James Cain, county. Chairman E. J. Hughes of the Democratic state committee proposed that the convention endorse a ticket made up sole. of . Republicans, saying the committee had not suc- eeded in finding any Democrats willing to go on the Republican @ar- ty column. Attorney General Talks On Mill George Shafer, attorney general, was called to the platform and talk- ed briefly. Mr. Shafer recalled that ,; this convention marked the tenth | Dan | | anniversary ofthe war on that Non- | partisan league. He declared him- i self enlisted for the duration of the war, and he saw in the large at- e| tendance a hopeful sign for the inde: pendent cause. He urged the con-! vention to face the state industries question firmly and honestly, and to adopt resolutions giving the candi-! lates an opportunity to go before tHe people on a platform of political | principle. He declared for a consti-| tutional amendment that wontd purge the constitution of the right to issue bonds for industrial par} poses, ‘ “It would serve as notice to the! world that North Dakota was through | with socialistic industries,” he said. | Reviewing the operation of the state mill, Shafer pointed out that! it lost over’ $823,000 since its; organization and $188,000 during 1926, under its. present management.¢ In December and January, he said, | the mill lost $73,000. Even if the mill paid $260,000 a year the fact that it works an injury | to other millers would make the price ‘of that succéss too dear for the people of North Dakota, Shafer said. He recommended that the mill/be sold or leased. to private persons, making it a tax paying instead of a tax eating institution, Parents Are Blamed For .Condition of Children’s Health Fargo, N.

Fawn Seen Along Paved Highway— ’Twas a Tame One People returging from Mandan last evening were quite surprised to see a young deer at the edge of the pave- Memorial bridge, and in a short while a large crowd had gathered there to view thé little animal. The people were sur- prised at the apparent tameness of the fawn, since it permitted persons t@ approach near enough to pet it, but attributed this to the belief that the animal was blinded by the lights of the many automobiles whiclf had|- been stopped nearby. The fawn was offered candy, which it greedily accepted, and ai “pleasant time was being had by all,” when two youngsters approached, saying “There it is, there it is.” It developed that the. fawn be- longed to a family living nearby and was vory tame, having been raised by these people since it was but a few days old. It had escaped from its pasture early in the evening and was probably attracted to the pavement by the lights of passing mo- tor cars. DAIRYMEN OPEN ANNUAL MEETING AT MANDAN TODAY “Mandan, N.
