OF the train left the track. Four box cars
loaded with copper matte from Butte were
wrecked. Couplings In front and behind

mora scared than hurt.
A wrsekinR crew was soon on hand and
began picking up the debris and repairing
the damaged track. They got the track in

when both passenger trains, which had
been delayed by the wreck. proceeeed on

$51, ,33G46 that has been paid as pre-
MUM to get these bonds, and the princi-
pal coming back to US would be $2O4, 100.
10 be deducted from this $2O4, 200 is
l6,l2319, which, the committee says,
has been paid out of the permanent
school fund to make the different bond
purchases. This would leave of the
return fund, for investment, the sum Of
$1885743l. The committee seem to
think it would have been unwise for the
board to have attempted any investment
OF this sum or any portion OF it, or any
sum which they have had, in Dakota
farm mortgages; and that they
therefore did wisely to drive the money
out OF Dakota into Wall street to gather
up from these Dakota school bonds that
had been made at different times hereto
fore and were drawing in some instances
. per cent. in Others per cent, and in
others per cent; and on a total pur-
chase that aggregated a face value Of
S52o, 'e4.lO to pay premium of $71, 1885,
% to get them, while a better investment
as to interest and just as safe for the
principal could have been had at home,
without the payment of any premium,
and thereby have saved all this sum to
the state treasury and have granted
money relief to North Dakota, which at
the time was most sore1y needed in all
parts of the state
Other arguments are given for the in
vestment of the school funds in farm
land mortgages of the state instead of
4 per cent school lands. The communj-
cation concludes as follows
"We enter this protest at this STAGE
it continues, "to warn the legislature of
it's duties and power and to prevent this
or any other school board we shall have
hereafter in the state from sending our
money to Wall street, and to bring about
reform against methods which have
prevailed too much, not only ID North
Dakota. OF driving public money east to
fatten Wall street and enhance the
money of the west and not OILY create
but force the conditions that force our
people to pay additional bonus and in
terest without any additional benefit to
the public treasury and that Injuries the
great mass of our citizens everywhere.
The present board is asking from
this legislature the privilege OF selling
during the next two years twice as p,uch
land as was sold in the last two years
and your action IN this matter may have
quite an influence on this board IN the
investment of the proceeds of sale to be
made in years hereafter. Therefore 1
ask you to vote to accept the proposition
OF Mr.. Fulton instructing our board of
university and school lands to take back
the money and give him the bonds. Dur
ing December, the last month of the old
board, our state treasurer paid to Mr.
Fulton over $4,000 for bonds only two
months ago. I have made my recon
mendation and this matter is in good
situation to rescind and restore both
parties to where they would have stood
if wiser judgments had prevailed"

SUPT. BARRETT'S REPORT.
Beginning OF the Fruit Bearing In
dustry in North Dakota.

Beginning OF the Fruit Bearing In
dustry in North Dakota.
The first and second annual reports of
W. W. Barrett, state superintendent of
irrigation and forestry, covering the
period from March 7th, 1891, to Decem-
Der 1st, 1892, has just been issued. 1t is
comprehensive document of about 300
pages. The first G5 pages are devoted to
a history Of the early work. origin and
development of irrigation in the state. A
large amount Of data is given with
respect to the different arteelan wells
and springs followed by discussion Of
the possibilities and probabilities of
practical and economic irrigation, and
practical applications of. it to grain
raising. The chapter on forestry opens
with reasons for the establishment of the
Turtle mountain timber reserve, the
principal argument being ''to husband
and protect the many springs and in
Vulnerable lakes for the support and
maintenance of the streams and rivers
which nourlsh the vegetation, and to
assist [also in the increase of humi-
dity and precipitation A chapter is
devoted to windbreaks for individual
farms and the proper method Of plant
ing and caring for the trees and the
varieties best adapted for the purpose.
OF the native trees IN the state, SO kinds
and varieties are catalogued, together
with is bushes and shrubs and ten
creepers and vines, with the probability
of more being discovered later on. Of
the "a $40 fruit trees in the state 9,125
are IN bearing, and 1874 not IN bear
ing, yet. Stutsman county is credited
with 233 bearing and III on-bearing
trees. Cass county heads the list with
total number OF 1850, about half of
which are bearing fruit. During 1892
apples we're raised in at least Pembina,
Grand Forks, Traill, Stutsman, Burleigh
and probably other counties.
Rain making and artificial rain pro
duction is noted as one Of the possible
and future accomplishments Of science
Smoke. as a preventative Of frost, how
to generate it by smudges, and practical
applications OF it, is quite fully discussed
in detail.
A considerable portion of the second
annual report contains a large amount
of valuable statistical matter of much
value as showing the future possibilities
o: the state and it's present status.
Meteorological data for 1892 is quite com
plete.
