THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1935 8 PEACE GARDEN RITE IS POSTPONED UNTIL SEPT. { DUE TO RAIN {Topographical Survey Indicates Revision in Park Plans Is Necessary Dunseith, N. D., Aug. 19—(%)}— Rainy weather Sunday compelled Postponement for two weeks until Sept. 1 the re-dedication exercises at ‘the international peace garden north of here, and dedication exercises at the new U. 8. park service camp on the garden site, but did not prevent officers and directors of the garden organization and other enthusiasts from holding a successful meeting late Sunday afternoon at the camp grounds. There matters relating to progress in development of the gar- ‘den project were discussed. After the meeting those present ‘were dinner guests at the park serv- ice camp where 173 COC youths are enrolled. At this program several men spoke informally: W. M. Smart, former mayor of Minot; Erick F. ‘Willis, member of the Canadian Dominion parliament from the fed- eral constituency of Souris; and D. J. Allan, Winnipeg, deputy minister of the Manitoba provincial department of mines and natural resources and a canadian aviator in the World war. To Build Connecting Link * ‘Willis announced a contract will be Jet in Winnipeg this week for about 15 miles of road which will run north from the garden, connecting with provincial highway 3 which goes east to Winnipeg and with provincial highway 25 which goes north from Boissevain to Brandon. Dr. Charles MacLachlan of San Haven, chairman of the executive committee, presided. Among others present were W. V. Udall, Boissevain newspaper editor; A. J. Robbins, Boissevain, Canadian secretary of the executive committee; John A. Stor- mon, of Rolla, secretary of the peace garden corporation; C. E. Danielson, Minot, president of the Greater North Dakota association; H.

Engemoen, of the camp engineering staff; Capt. Louis C. Lamb of the U. 8. army; J. A. Mac- Kay, Brandon correspondent for the that a topo- eral survey of the U. 8. side of. peers has just been completed by engineers of the park service camp. The survey indicates that some revision of the original plans for = formal garden layout will be necessary. The matter of revising these pl will be discussed when representatives of the national park service have a meeting, probably Aug. 22, with the exectuive committee of the peace garden organization. Carl A. Taubert, inspector for North Dakota, and Russell Reid, procure- ment officer for this state, are cx- ‘pected to attend this meeting. Lieut. Gov. W. J.

Tricky Missouri Creates - Sewage Disposal Problem Reventment and Jetty Work Seen Necessary to Stop Cesspool Formation How to direct the flow of the muddy Missouri river so that it will carry away Bismarck’s sewage without the creation of a cesspool along its banks will be considered Monday night at the regular meeting of the city com- mission. ‘The matter was called to the at- tention of the commission by the city planning board at the suggestion of a committee from the Lions club, head- ed by W. B. Couch. At a recent meeting of the Lions club committee, consisting of Couch, Walter Pomeroy and Douglas Yeater with the planning board, it was point- ed out that permanent solution of the city’s sewage disposal problem might properly be effected as a PWA proj- ect which would give work to local people and at the same time perma- nently solve what threatens to be an increasingly difficult problem. The cause of the difficulty lies in the fact that the Missouri is a mean- dering stream, frequently changing its channel. Trouble Last Year In the years when the channel lay on the east side of the river there was no trouble. But last year, when the channel shifted to the west, sew- age from the city outlet accumulated in a gigantic cesspool beneath the east gank,. A huge sandbar prevented it from flowing naturally into the stream and it was necessary to dig a ditch to permit it to flow away. This condition was relieved by this year’s flood water but it is beginning to occur again and soon, unless some- thing is Gone according to the Lions club committee, every breeze from the west will waft an unpleasant smell across the entire city. The proposal tentatively suggested at the meeting of the Lions club com- mittee and the planning board was that the river might be revetted along the eastern bank below the highway bridge to prevent further cutting of the banks there, and that some sort of diversion works be established above the bridge so as to divert the channel permanently to the east side of the bank, This could be done, in the opinion of many who have watched the Mis- souri’s wanderings, by driving piling | out from the western bank. The theory is that a sandbar would form below the piling similar to that which has formed during the last few years below the bridge. The channel then would flow past the sewer outlet and the trouble of sewage disposal would be eliminated, To Request Survey Recommendation that the city com- mission ask for an army engineer to survey the matter will be presented to that body Monday night by the planning board. Since the river is a to|well as engineering difficulties beset navigable stream, it will be necessary to obtain war department approval tor whatever is done, and the hope is that a trained engineer will be in Position to decide if thé proposal is feasible and, if so, how to go about it together with its probable cost. Local observers say the river chan- nel is continuing to move westward. In recent years an island has been formed about a mile below the bridge and it now has trees on it, some of them having trunks four inches or more in diameter. This island is dis- appearing, the current cutting huge slices off it’s eastern edge as the channel swings to the west. Numerous legal complications as the problem, however. One of these ownership along the river’s banks. The river has always been an agent of Providence in that it has both giv- en and taken away land along its banks. At one time the eastern bank extended much further westward than has been the case in recent years. Subsequent shifting of the current took much of this soil away. Now it is being restored. If interfer- ence by man perpetuates the loss of land there may be legal complica- tions. What has happened to a. quarter section. below the bridge owned by Frayne Baker illustrates the point. Almost Vanishes At one time the 160 acres had been reduced to about seven acres. Now, with the channel swinging westward and silt being deposited along the i eastern bank, it is beginning to ap- proach its former size. People who have observed the for- mation of islands and sand bars in the river say diversion of the current should be a simple matter. Most of the islands now in the river have been created by logs wnicn have been caught in the stream. Sand begins to pile up behind them and soon a sizeable island or sand bar has been formed. Later, as some other influence comes into operation, such sand bars or islands may be removed complete- ly, as is now the case with the island below the bridge. In the background of the new “Mis- souri diversion” proposal are two fac- tors, One is the difficulty of properly disposing of sewage and the fact that @ sewage disposal plant for Bismarck would cost considerable money. Some rough estimates have fixed the cost as high as $500,000. The other is that local projects un- der the WPA must be found if un- employed men are to have work un- der the new government system. If such projects are lacking unemployed Persons will have to go on relief and the county will be forced to foot the bill, since there will be rio federal re- lef after the WPA gets into full op- eration. Materials Troublesome A further complication, however, is that the WPA rules require local sub- divisions to provide the materials for all jobs and machinery and truck WELFORD ASKS FOR TRUCE IN POLITICS Points to Countless Problems That Require United Sup- port of People Minot, N. D., Aug. 19.—()—Many problems confront the state, said Gov. Walter Welford in Minot Sunday which need the united efforts of all citizens for solution and these big is- sues should be removed from the field of politics entirely. Chief among them he placed better storage facilities for the farmer s0 that grain may be held off the market in times when prices are poor; a new and sounder system of taxation, more equitable and giving a more certain return to the state; and the con- servation of the state’s water supply. “A get-together policy must be adopted,” said the governor, “with po- litics and political factions forgotten in meeting these problems. Since pioneer days the question of sufficient storage for grains has been a problem and now we have available hundreds of elevators throughout the state of which we should make use to prevent the usual glut of the market and the consequent drop in prices. “In driving about the state during recent heavy rainstorms, I have no- ticed the immense amount of surface water which flows away unchecked, and the people of the state should on @ non-political basis carry through a program of dam building under the supervision of the state engineer. “I believe the interim tax commis- sion, making a survey of the taxation structure of the state, will make a valuable report at the next legisla- ture. This question is another in which politics should be forgotten, the state should be assured a regular rev- enue to carry on the state’s business and the tax burden should be spread in a more equitable manner than at present.” Governor Welford spoke before that annual picnic of the Minot Orthodox Greek congregation attended by about 300 persons, HELD FOR EXTORTION New York, Aug. 19—(AP)—Harry ‘Schminsky, a Queens apartment house superintendent, was held by depart- ment of justice agents Monday on a charge that he attempted to extort sums ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 through a series of threatening letters to Thelma Todd, motion picture act- ress, and Abe Lyman, orchestra leader. and team hire are classed as ma- terials. In the proposed works pile drivers and logs would be needed in con- structing the jetty which would di- vert the current above the highway bridge. Rocks and willow mats would be needed in revetting the eastern bank below the bridge. Truck and team hire in transporting the rocks alone would be a considerable item since it would be necessary to strengthen the bank for approxi- mately a mile below the bridge to pro- tect land on the eastern bank and thus prevent damage suits. It is probable that expert advice on all phases of the project will be obtained before the project is given Meanwhile the city’s final approval. sewer outlet continues to be blocked. Members of the city planning board are Mayor A. P, Lenhart, City Engi- neer T. R. Atkinson and City Attor- ney Charles L. Foster as ex-officio members; John French, president; A. Grandmother of Tribe; Perpetuating ceremonies which date back to a time long before the white man came to the Missouri river coun- try, Arikara Indians on the Fort Berthold reservavtion recently com- pleted the annual rites in which they venerate the cedar tree and the rock, which signify the grandmother and grandfather of the tribe. The Tribune is indebted to Mrs. Florence H. Davis, librarian of the State Historical library, for an ac- count of the ceremonials, which were conducted by the medicine bands of the tribe led by the chief priests. In the party viewing the rites with Mrs. Davis were James Green of the Bis- marck Indian school and his son, Wallace, and Miss Alden Hewitt, as- sociate supervisor of elementary schools for the Bureau of Indian Affairs field service. Both Are Symbolical The cedar tree, Mrs. Davis explains, symbolizes good health and longevity in connection with the ceremonial stone which remains always in front of the lodge and represents the fath- erhood or founder of the tribe. Sig- nifying the mother, the tree is plant- ed close to the stone during a special ceremony which is centered around that act. Two ceremonial assistants, who hold their positions for life, bear the cedar tree which is to be plantea. They are followed by the priests. The tree is brushed with sage brush to bring about purification and a cere- monial bonnet made of eagle feathers is bound to the topmost leader branch. This betokens good luck on the voyage which the cedar tree mother will take next spring at the floodtide of the Missouri river. At the proper time, the tree will be car- ried with traditional rites to the shore and will be placed in the main channel and sent with the prayer of the Arikara people to the place from which the tribe came. Attach Shoes to Tree Attached to the tree on its voyage will be numerous little shoes belong- Arikaras Perpetuate Old Pagan Ceremonies Pay Respects to Rock and Cedar Tree as Grandfather and| Priests Because of Diminished Numbers Women Participate as ing to the babies of the tribe, intend- ed to accompany the grandmother on her last trip to the home of her peo- ple. Christening of a baby boy during the beginning of the tree ceremonial was @ highlight of the evening. The child, son of an Arikara mother and @ Mandan father, was named White Beaver and was christened by Good Bird in his capacity as assistant priest. The rite was performed in the council and during the ceremony the baby’s grandfather led in the christening gift for the priest, which was a beautiful horse. That two women appeared in the dances this year was unusual and significant. The women were the widows of two Arikara priests and were the first ever to be elevated to such @ position. The reaosn is that the Arikara are fast disappearing. Other Tribes Look On None except Arikara Indians par- ticipated in the exercises. This indi- cates the age-long care on the part of various tribes to preserve their identity. The Gros Ventre and Man- dans were interested and sympathetic guests but took no active part. The sage dances of purification were conducted for five days by the medicine men, painted white and dressed only in breech clouts. Mem- bers of the eight medicine bands, ghosts, deer, buffalo, cormorants, ducks, owls, rabbits and bears, were led by the chief priests who this year were Albert Simpson and George Lewis. The dances are highly inter- pretive, the men decorating them- animals. Between dances the chief priests smoke a sacred pipe. Among those having part in the! rituals were Little Sioux, the last liv- ing Custer scout, and George Wilde,| Eli Perkins, Snow Bird, Strieby Horn, | Yellow Bird, Harry Gillette, Many Bears, White Bear, Willie Dean and Little Crow. Lamm to Continue Meetings One Week Announcement that the evangelis- tic crusade which has been in pro- gress at the World War Memorial building for the last three weeks will continue for another week was made Monday by Rev. A. J. Lamm. He said there would be no service Monday evening but that the cam- paign will be continued Tuesday eve- ning at the regular time and place.

JUDGMENT AGAINST KILLER CAR DRIVER AFFIRMED IN COURT Vehicle Operator Overtaking Another Car Must Pass at Safe Distance A flat tire, which brought death to one and injuries to another, was marked in the court records of the state supreme court in a decision Monday. Harry Kinzley, Mohall, defendant in the damage action which grew out of an accident involving Kinzley, Clarence R. Hutchinson and William Truesdale, lost his appeal, as result of the court's ruling, which affirmed @ $3,250 judgment against Kinzley in @ suit brought by Hutchinson. Truesdale was killed and Hutchin- son was injured in the accident, which occurred in May 1932, near Minot. Hutchinson's car was halted by a flat tire As he and Truesdale examined the tire, a second car, driven by Kinzley approached. Evi- dence at the trial was that Hutchin- son and Truesdale leaped into a ditch to the right of the halted ma- chine, when they believed the Kin- zley machine would hit their car, In- stead, according to the record, Kinz- ley swerved his car into the ditch into which the two men had leaped for safety. Claimed Negligence Kinzley claimed negligence on the part of Hutchinson, asserting the car was improperly halted on the high- way, and that the two men con- tributed to the act being in the ditch. The supreme court failed to support either claim. The high court sustained the judg- ment of the jury in Ward county dis- trict court, holding “unless the negli- gence of the party who sues proxi- mately contributes, it does not con- stitute contributory negligence so as to bar a recovery.” “If notwithstanding the previous negligence of the plaintiff, the de- fendant by the exercise of ordinary care and prudence, might avoid in- juring the former, but fails to do so, his negligence and not that of the plaintiff is the proximate cause of| injury.” The court also held that when a machine stopes in the lane of travel! on a highway for vehicles proceeding | in the same direction, the car is pro- ceeding within the rule that the f anOIy ra renee Deane vos | Joins Sales Force i Bo Oscar M.
