Lewis -Clark Fort HAIL ADJUSTMENTS Will Be Restored| PFW 1% Spot Where Explorers Wintered in 1804-05 Will Be Pre- served by State By MRS. W. K. WILLIAMS Washburn, N. D., March 25.—A place of natural beauty as well as historic worth is the Lewis and Clark campsite, 14 miles west of Washburn, in McLean county, North Dakota where in the near future, with fed- eral aid, will be constructed Fort Mandan, the winter quarters of the famous Lewis and Clark expedition Party in 1804-05 to henceforth be Maintained as a state park. ‘It was originally the homestead of ‘Thure Luthander, who sold it to the late T. J. Haugebet @ prominent business man of Wash » who kept it in its original state as a private wild game reserve. After his death in 1923, it became the property of his daughter, Irene, Mrs. Hans Nel- son, who beneficently deeded the campsite of some 20 acres to the newly organized Lewis and Clark Campsite association in 1926, to fos- ter and perpetuate this historic spot. This organization, directed by Wm. DeGraff, Mrs. J. T. McCulloch and Ole Stefferud, held annual picnics on this famed site, to commemorate the event and interest the public in preserving the place. With funds thus raised, @ large wooden marker was erected on the grounds and road signs placed, marking the high- way from Washburn. Scouts Built Cabin Soon after the Boy Scouts of ‘Washburn erected a small log cabin on the grounds and a woven wire fence enclosure that guards from the sheer drop of 100 feet or more to the river bottom land. In 1934, the Lewis and Clark association, seeing the ad- vantage to be gained with federal aid, surrendered the campsite to the North Dakota State Historical society. On this site overlooking Fort Man- dan is a Masonic: marker, dedicated May 21, 1935. This cairn of stone with bronze plate inscribed reads as follows: “In this vicinity the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped from Oc- tober 27, 1804, to April 7, 1805. “Captain Meriwether Lewis was a member and first worshipful master Of St. Louis Lodge, No. 111, A.

William Clark was a Mason in this lodge upon his return to St. Louis. “This matker is erected by the Grand Lodge A. F. & A.

For 40 miles on a clear day can be seen square topped buttes, tree covered bottom lands, gentle sloping ravines, steep coulees, and rolling prairie land with fertile fields and farm homes, towns and streams, Lake Mandan and a number of old Indian village sites. About the campsite are weird, picturesque, banded, and many-hued bluffs, buttes, domes, tur- rets and pinnacles, characteristic of the Bad Lands.

L. 5935” Mandan’s First Settlers It is not definitely known, but gen- erally conceded, that the Mandans and Hidatsa Indian tribes, coming in from the south up White River were the first occupants of North Dakota. As they migrated up the Missouri, their abandoned villages marked their Progress. By 1750 there were nine Mandan villages along the Missouri from White river to the mouth of the Knife river, seven on the west side and two on the east, which were re- duced to two, one on each side of the viver, when Lewis and Clark found them in 1804. The one on the east side or left bank near where Lewis end Clark built their winter camp was Black Cat's village whith can- not be definitely located now. Big White's village stood on the west side or right bank at the present site of Deapolis and where the ex- pedition party first stopped. The three upper Knife river villages were Hidatsa and at that time had @ combined population of over two thousand natives, Unfortunately, the true site of Fort Mandan is unknown. Owing to the ever changing channel of the Mis- souri, it may be washed away, under water, or mid-river, covered with sand bars. There was little left to mark the site, when Lewis and Clark re- turned a year and a half later, for the hostile Sioux had burned the fort and destroyed Black Cat's village. But the approximate site, located by authen- tic records, is as aforesaid. Built Triangular The fort was built in the shape of @ triangle. Two sides were of log huts joined together and the third side was a stockade of logs. As the log huts faced toward the center, the roofs, which were made of slabs and Poles covered with packed earth and sod, sloped up from the front to a height of about 18 feet in the rear. This was a comfortable inclosure and made a strong protection for their supplies and themselves against any Possible attack from the natives. Aside from the associations of his- torical value, the Lewis and Clark campsite is a beautiful scenic place and has the most commanding view- Point to be found along the river, of which these famous explorers were no doubt aware when they chose this high, strategic point by which to build their camp. The general view from these lofty range from 20 cents per square yard for trowel or white finish plaster to 70 cents a yard for stucco work on buildings three stories high.

A Chance for Every Reader to Get a New Bible Combination of Stones With Heat and Rust Made Loss Determining Puzzling Adjustment of hail losses in 1935 was “one of extreme difficulty” due to accompanying destruction by heat and rust, eight hail inspectors report- ed Wednesday following their annual meeting. In a report to State Insurance Com- missioner Harold Hopton and Lars J. ‘Siljan, out-going state hail insurance manager, the eight stated: “The season of 1935 had many fac- tors aside from hail which previously have not existed, which made the ad- justment of hail losses one of extreme difficulty. “During the latter part of July Practically all hard wheat was par- tially ruined by heat and rust. Hail storms occurred frequently and al- though we found some fields totally tuined by heat and rust, nevertheless most of the fields had some value and had to be adjusted.” They pointed out “in some cases it was necessary for the adjuster to determine the amount of hail that fell, to examine weeds, gardens and even soft wood fence posts before a fair estimate of the loss could be agreed upon.” Citing complaints which had been received by them, they declared, “it was amusing to note while some farmers complained we had no busi- ness to pay on those fields, another group equally as large said that we did not allow enough.” Signing the report were O. H. Stef- ferud, Washburn; Peter Johnson, Mandan; J. L. Hulteng, Grand Forks; ic. N. », Dodge; J. Wagner, ‘Sanborn; M. J. Burns, Sherwood; C. O. Kell, Bismarck, and O. E.
