PIONEER PILOT PRIZES CANE Police Magistrate J. M. Belk has a cane of his own handiwork that, he says, has brought him good luck for.25 years. The cane was a small white ash tree on the banks of the Missouri river near Washburn 25 years ago. River ice, swelling over the banks of the.river in the spring, turned the young tree flat. When the ice melted the tree grew upward again, leaving a natural cane handle in its trunk. Belk whittled the cane down'to normal size in three weeks, working during his spare hours. It is a beau- tiful cane, having a fine, ‘straight in and many decorative knots. Belk, who navigated the Missouri from 1867 to 1925, was caught at Washburn in 1903 and delayed for a few days by a strong wind storm. It was then that he discovered his cane. He was the pilot on the river oat fied time by stoppage or delay of b t Rosebud. the tube train service. Bel navi Mandan will have a municipal golf course.
