CONSERVATION IN N. D, PROGRESSING Report on Red River Basin to Be Ready Soon, State En- gineer Thomas Says Plans for control of floods, erosion, and water pollution, and for water utilization in North Dakota are progressing rapidly, State Engineer E. J Thomas said Tuesday. “Report of the study of the Red River of the North, part of the na- tional water plan, will be completed by the North Dakota staff within a few days, and work on the new pro- gram will be started immediately thereafter,” Thomas stated. The work in this state is to be completed by Sept. 1, he said. For the statewide water plan, the following sub-basins together with the Red river basin comprise the en- tire area to be studied: the Devils Lake area, the James, Mouse, Mis- souri, Yellowstone, Little Missourt, Knife, Heart, Cannon Ball and Grand rivers, Thomas said. Nomination of State Engineer Thomas as senior technician for the special WPA water plan project, has been approved. He will make field inspections and studies in connection with the development of a plan. Charles Hobbs of Northwood, junior technician on the Red river study, will continue on the additional studies.

Places Rebuilt in Miniature by State His- torical Society ‘The state historical society has turned back the pages of time 200 years for the imaginative observer to see the structures erected in North Dakota by the Indian, frontiersman, trader, Indian and old time rancher. «hrough the medium of model work done accurately to scale and with re- markable handiwork and great pati- ence, workers have reconstructed in miniature old forts, Indian villages, ranches and sod houses that have long disappeared from the plains, Probably the most outstanding of the approximately eight large models encased in class display cases is that ot Fort Union, one of the largest and most important trading posts in the northwest, established by the Amer- ican Fur company in 1829 near the junction of the Yellowstone and Mis- souri rivers on what is now the Mon- tana-Dakota boundary. Models Numerous Other large models include Fort, Mandan, a Mandan Indian earth lodge; the Ward Indian village; Fort McKean; Theodore Roosevelt's Elk- horn ranch and his Maltese Cross ranch house; and a typical sod house used by pioneer plains families. Most of the modeling work has been done by Maynard Stephens of Bismarck, museum assistant who was employed for the work under FERA and CWA projects under the super- vision of Russell Reid, superintendent of the state historical society. Assisting on some of the model work were Mrs. Doris Aid, secretary to Reid, Clell Gannon of Bismarck, and George Larson of Bismarck, the latter constructing all of the cases. Two of the scenes reconstructed in miniature already have been rebuilt in part under the civilian conserva- tion corps at the sites. They are Fort McKean and the Ward Indian village. Park Village Pictured One of these models shows an an- cient Indian village occupied by Mandans prior to 1800 on a high hill two miles northwest of Bismarck. The model includes approximately 40 of the earth lodges with drying racks, protected by a long pallisade on three sides unprotected by the river and a deep dry moat, the edge of which is still discernable at the site, in Pio- neer Park. The model of Fort McKean, a United States military post built in 1872 for the protection of railroad surveying parties south of Mandan just- above the site of Fort Abraham Lincoin established a year later, was made to scale even to the contour of the ground. Included are the block houses and Palisades which have been erected also on the site by the CCC, as well as the barracks, officers’ quarters and other buildings. Fort Built to Scale A realistic picture of the site at old Fort Union also is given by the ad- herence to scale and detail which brings out that the trading post was built for permanency as a guard against massed Indian attacks. The palisade around the buildings was set on a rock foundation with blockhouses at two corners built of rock. Even‘the fur trading was done in a guarded reception room with double doors which allowed Indians to enter part way, but the second doors kept them from getting into the fort. Open overhead, armed guards could watch over the imprisoned In- dians below. Standing out against a background of Badlands painted by Clell Gannon, Stephens’ reconstruction of the Elk- horn ranch of Theodore Roosevelt, the Rough Rider President, brings out the beauty of a hunting lodge which no longer exists at its site, 35 miles north of Medora, He also modeled Roosevelt's Mal- tese Cross ranch house as it was at the time he lived in it, showing a one- half story loft and shingle roof which was replaced with a low dirt rom after he disposed of the struc- ure, Rebuilt Cavaliers Home Another model is of the home and trading post of Charles Cavalier at Pembina, N. D., which burned May 22, 1915. It was owned by him from 1862 nite 1882 and by A. D. Cavalier until Seven smaller models, built by Ste- phens before he was em- Ployed for that purpose, include two steamboats, a covered wagon, a stage coach and three other boats. One of these, bringing out every minute de- bong is of the Rosebud which plied the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers a it sank at Bismarck in June, A modern touch is brought to the work by a.replica of the state capitol which was done from the original blueprints and is carried out to scale, even to width between windows and the ventilators on the roof. 3rd DeMolay Conclave Comes to Close Here Two hundred DeMolay youths and their Dads returned to their homes Louisiana Governor’s Cape Falls on Leche Baton Rouge, La.

MORE PLANTINGS OF TREES IN N. D, SEEN Shortage of Nursery Stock Big- gest Problem Bottineau School Faces Bottineau, N. D., May 12.—(#)—In- creased plantings of tree stock at the State School of Forestry is to be un- dertaken immediately with prospects of an increased demand for farm shelterbelts, trees for local parks, roadside landscaping and to sur- round newly-made reservoirs and re- cereation areas. James H. Anthony, acting state forester and chairman of the for- estry committees of the state plan- ning board, stated that the “greatest limitation” to current planting pro- grams is the “shortage of nursery stock” and the “greatest limitation” to extending the planting is the “ab- sence of proper seed.” Statewide interest in tree plant- ing is one of the “developments” of the past few years, E. G. Wanner, secretary of the state board of ad- ministration, said in commenting on the program. “This is probably due to the fact that the dry years took so much of our native stock. Our ‘board ts anxious to cooperate with this movement, feeling that trees have many advantages in an agri- cultural state like North Dakota.” Caragana, Chinese Elm and Rus- sian Olive have been recommended as trees for increased plantings this year at Bottineau. Anthony is can- vassing seed sources for maximum supplies of these varieties for im- mediate planting. Details of this expanded program are being worked out between Ray- mond McLees, acting president of the Bottineau school, Anthony Wan- ner and the state board of adminis- tration. FARGO WOMAN DIES Fargo, N. D. May 12.—(®)—Mrs. Signe Pierson, Fargo, died Monday in Lumber City, Ga., where she was taken ill en route home from spend- ing the winter in the south.

Fifth and Main Phone 347 SURE T0 BE GOOD Entomologists See Need for Poisoning Campaign to Protect N. D. Crops F. D. Butcher and F. Gray Butcher, federal and state extension entomol- ogist, respectively, said in Bismarck over the week-end that one crop which is almost certain not to fail this year is that of grasshoppers. After a swing around the state which took them from Devils Lake to Bowbells, Minot, Stanley, Dickinson, Mandan and Bismarck, they reported that the number of grasshoppers this year will be about the same as in 1932. Unless weather unfavorable to the hoppers occurs during late May and June they expect about 12 to 15 per cent crop losses from that source in much of this territory. This will not be excessive as compared with the past but it might lead up to a condi- tion similar to that in 1934 when the ravages of the pests were very exten- sive, they said. Their information is obtained by surveying the egg pods and examin- ing the condition in which they came through the winter. The severe weather did them no harm, the en- tomologists said, and hatching will be general within the next week or two, depending on the weather. The chance of cold, wet weather which would reduce the number of hoppers after hatching is one in 19 they said after studying government weather records. As a result they feel that poison- ing is the only sure means of reduc- ing the number to protect this year’s crop and insure next year’s crop against damage even more severe. Answering those who contend that an increase in the number of game birds would control the hoppers F. D. Butcher said it would take more birds than this country has ever known in the past to control the hoppers al- ready in sight. To charges that game birds are killed by the poison bait he said this need not be the case if the poison is Properly distributed. He denied that game birds have died from poison as a result of eating poisoned hoppers. The fact is, he said, that the birds would have died anyway, regardless of whether the hoppers were poisoned, because they had taken an excess of protein food and were unable to digest it. Such cases are always reported where nor- seein ee ve eat Meeting Here Monday | * « 1st resort, he said.
