BC CHRERY GRD ATTENDS BURLEIGH PIONEERS’ PICNIG; Old-Fashioned Picnic Reflects True Pioneer Spirit; More Than 500 Register With 500 ploneers and their de- acendants registered at 1:30 p. m. and with more coming the picnic for early settlers staged at Pioneer park ‘by the Burleigh County Pioneers’ as-| || sociation Friday was a gay outing and one of the largest gatherings ever held by the association. Planned to be an old-fashioned pic- nic, the occasion was just that. Fam- fly groups spread bountiful lunches i on the tables and there was room in every party for those who came along. ‘The hospitable spirit of the early days was inevidence here again. When the meal was eaten, families visited back | | and forth to renew acquaintances and | | there were many surprised exclama- | | tions of greeting as people encoun-| || tered old friends who have returned | | after many years. Music Entertains Crowd ‘The Tyroler Players from Germany Played for the guests during the m jorning. Bill Brown from Painted Woods ‘was furnishing some music, too, sere-| || nading some of the older women who ‘wore sunbonnets with “Silver Threads ‘Among the Gold” and others of the old familiar songs. ‘Mrs. Florence Ward, who was born | | {n 1849 and came to Bismarck in 1872} | ‘was to receive the prize for being the oldest person there. Despite her ad- vanced age, she enjoyed the picnic ‘and expected to view the parade and| | attend the program and see the page- and later in the city. In the party of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- Yam A. Falconer were their nephews, Harry F. Mclean of Merrickville, | | Canada, and William J. McLean of Chapleau, Canada, who are their house guests. These brothers who are native sons and are associated in a widely known construction company bearing the name of Harry F. Mc- Lean, both will be here until the cele- bration is over. Comes By Airplane Harry F. morning by airplane, flying from Montreal, Quebec, by way of Chi-| | cago and Battle Creek, Mich. His pilot, Maurice Gauthier of Montreal, also was in the picnic group: It is eight years since Mr. McLean has been in Bismarck and he was kept busy as his many friends and class- mates came up to greet him, Also in the Falconer party was Dr. F. D. Kendrick of St. Paul, who has] | been here since Sunday and is at the| | Patterson hotel. Dr. Kendrick was| | one of the early physicians in Bis-| | marck and he was telling amusing anecdotes during the dinner hour. A large family of his “babies” were \ coming up to greet him. Mrs. John Pollock, the oldest resi- dent of the city, was there dressed in an old time costume. women among the oldest there were Mrs. Pat McHugh and Mrs. C. L. Pearce, who also recognized the spirit of the occasion in their dress. Many of the younger generation wore sun- bonnets and long calico frocks, Mingling with the guests was Frank 8. Falkenstein of Bottineau, a class- mate of James W. Foley. Earlier Arrivals Listed Earliest North Dakota arrivals at- tending included W. M. Lindell of Washburn, who came in 1882; Jake| || Horner of Bismarck, 1876; William 8. Bates of Bismarck, 1877; Mrs. L. 8.

Not only for its historical background but also for its modern day attractions, Bis- | marck has more to offer the sight-seer and those seeking wholesome entertainment and an education than any other area of the state. ! For those wishing to let their imagina- tions carry them back to grandfather's day and before the community offers: On the Capitol Grounds i The State Historical society and museum | where a full day will flit quickly away as visi- tors brouse among Indian curios, pre-historic artifacts, the military collection, the stuffed | birds and animals native to the state, ob- jects inextricably linked with pioneer life. Theodore Roosevelt’s Maltese Cross cabin with its pictures and other objects relating to Roosevelt’s life as a North Dakota rancher, standing behind the state historical museum. The statue of Sakakawea that revives the golden pages of Lewis and Clark’s expedition | of exploration through’ the Louisiana Pur- chase. South of Bismarck The grave of Lieutenant Beaver, attached to the command of Gen. H. H. Sibley, slain by the Indians in 1868 and buried with the first Masonic rites believed to have been held in what is now North Dakota. The grave lies on a ridge overlooking Sibley island. It is | reached by driving south on the east Fort | Lincoln road which turns off U. S. Highway 10 one-quarter mile west of the state prison. Driving past Fort Lincoln one mile south to the Lincoln school, a turn right and west is made. One mile west the road turns left and south. Just before dropping into the || Sibley island bottoms, the grave can be seen to the left of the road on the ridge paralleling the road. Here, too, is the farthest point west reached by Gen. H. H. Sibley in his pursuit of the renegade Indians lead by Inkpaduta who committed the Minnesota massacres in 1863. It was here that the Indians fled across the Missouri. : ! Northwest of Bismarck and reached either | by the river road that branches off U. S. highway 10 just as the approach to the Lib- erty Memorial bridge is reached, the visitor drives one mile and a half north, or he can take the road running northwest past the mu- nicipal golf links. On the bottoms along Burnt creek lies one of the most beautiful picnic grounds in the state. On the bluffs to the east stand the reconstruction of Looking | village, a settlement once of the Mandan In- dians. There, too, lays a rock upon which pre-historic man chiseled out cup sculptures. From here also the visitor gets the kind of a view of the Missouri and Heart river valleys as caused the late President Woodrow Wilson to exclaim when he saw it-—“One of the most beautiful natural panoramas I ever have seen.” Here, too, is the site of the Burnt creek | Massacre. Public Structures Almost hourly tours are conducted through North Dakota’s 18-story new capi- tol that rears its Indiana limestone shaft above the prairies on the north edge of the Capital City. The view from the observation tower is unsurpassed. The magnificent woods in the legislative chambers, the governor’s office and the supreme court are a source of wonder. The Memorial hall with its fluted bronze pillars and walls of marble from the ends of the world is of awe-inspiring beauty. Much admired is Burleigh county’s new courthouse, occupying one square block in the heart of the city. Its interior walls depict through the hands of Clell Gannon, Bismarck painter, highlights in the settlement and his- tory of the county. NTINUE ezieeee Resettlement Is Considering Plan Many Historical Points Beckon to Those Who Links to Past In the World War Memorial building, Bis- marck has the largest structure of its kind in the state, containing two gymnasiums, one capable of accommodating 5,000 persons. There, too, are located offices of the Associa- tion of Commerce and Tourist bureau, public rest and comfort rooms, offices of patriotic societies and the county agricultural agent. Penitentiary Interesting : One mile east of Bismarck stands the state penitentiary. It, too, may be visited at certain hours. Of interest to visitors is the twine plant, coffin factory and the stamping room where North Dakota auto owners’ li- cense tags are made and signs for the state highway department. Two miles south of the prison is the Fort Lincoln military reservation where on active duty is a battalion of the Fourth U. S. infan- try. In the summer it is the site of annual Citizens’ Military Training and Reserve Offi- cers’ Training camps. Here, too, are mus- tered in enrollees in the Civilian Conservation corps. Adjoining the military reservation to the north is one of the more popular visiting points.* It is the municipal airport, one of the finest landing fields in the northwest. Four times daily giant airliners that bene the northern half of the continent from Chicago to Seattle land here. Their arrival and de- parture is always watched with keen interest. Here, too, is the terminus for an airline that operates between Bismarck and Sioux City and Omaha. Daily balloon ascensions at the U. S. weather bureau, Main avenue at First St., one of the oldest observation points in the west and standing on the site of Camp Hancock. Here Mark Twain is proved wrong in his as- sertion “That everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Here the scientific instruments that record temperatures, pressures, wind ‘velocity and other data necessary to computing forecasts may be seen. Just before the visitor drives across the Liberty Memorial bridge, a group-of buildings one-eighth of a mile north attracts the eye. One is a brewery dating to territorial days. Just to the north lies the U. S. Indian school where the child wards of the government are given as fine an education as their white brothers and sisters. Across the Missouri Mandan, Bismarck’s sister city to the northwest in the valley of the Heart, also has its share of attractions. Southwest is the Great Plains Field Sta- tion atop the bluffs and underneath is the State Training school. Of particular import is the work at the field station for here gov- ernment agricultural experts conduct soil, plant and livestock experiments that are im- proxing the ability of North Dakota farmers to wrest‘a living from the earth. To the north of the city on a high coteau stands the Morton county courthouse. Here, too, is another ideal observation point for those who love vistas and far distances. Four miles south of Mandan on the river road is located Fort Lincoln State park con- solidating within its borders three of the more historic points. Here hundreds of years ago, the Mandans erected their earth lodges in‘a series of villages lying along the banks of the Heart river. Here the CCC has recon-” | structed on their original sites some of the lodges. And on the bluffs above the CCC has rebuilt portions of old Fort McKean, first military post built west of the river in what | is now North Dakota. The blockhouses and connecting palisades are reconstructed on the exact sites of the originals. Down‘the mili- tary road southeast to the flats below, the visitor drives to the site of old Fort Abra- | ham Lincoln where Custer and his Seventh: cavalry were quartered. ceive attention. The state WPA of- Railway Car Loadings Still Show Increase To Aid Trrigation| nce er ctaing to inet cannot be discounted in view of the heavy expenditures which the govern- ment is being required to make for relief purposes. . It is further contended that with the tremendous resources of men avail- able by reason of the prospective work-relief program and the expendi- tures which the government will be forced to make anyhow, construction of an irrigation project would repre- sent the wisest possible use of these facilities. Alexander said that everywhere in the west people have become water conscious as a result of the contin- ued drouths and that in all regions visited requests similar to that pro- posed here have been received. livestock growers For North Dakota Are Being Pushed Sootty with goed, ooctions peo espe stihl pod counties bordering on the South Da- kota line, it was said.
