wINTER MUsKMELoN GROWN IN UTAH.
some years the department Of agricul-
ture has, been interested In this type Of
melon. Previous to the Spanish-Amer-
lean war seeds taken from melons
brought from Havana under the name
'Turkestan" were sent to California,
where they were reported as succeed
ing well in Los Angeles county.
Through Professor Hansen the govern
ment also imported from Khiva, Tur-
kestan, the finest seed procurable and
distributed it to growers in the south
west and in Utah. According to men,
ton going the rounds Of the press, they
were a failure in the southwest, but
have succeeded well in Utah. The
Utah melons average from II to Is
pounds and are Of superior flavor.
They grow very much like other mel
ons, but when frost comes they are
gathered and put in a cellar to ripen.
At the time Of picking they have a
taste like cucumbers and reach their
full favor about Jan. l.. In appearance
the melon is said to resemble very
much a small rattlesnake watermelon.
The meat is very solid, thick and edi-
BILE to the rind and the flavor very
spicy and delicious.
According to official report, three Of
the largest melons imported for seed
weighed up to 80 pounds. The flesh is
white and, as is shown in the ~illustra-
ton, of good thickness.

The war in South Africa between the
British and the Beers is awakening an
intense interest in the dark continent,
the land toward which the worlds i'm
migration of coming years will be
directed. Most OPPORTUNITY comes the
announcement that. William Harding,
New York cable editor of the Asso-
ciated Press, has a book on Africa
nearly ready, entitled 'sWar in South
Africa: The Dark Continent from
Savagery to Civilization" to be pub
lisheds this month by the Dominion
company of Chicago. Mr.. Harding
should be eminently qualified to pre-
pare a comprehensive and valuable
work ON this subject. Not only has
he Travelled extensively in the dark
continent, but for years all cable in
formation from Africa and the old
world has passed through his hands
before being given to the American
public. The forthcoming volume will
contain a full account of Africa from
the earliest ages to the present day,
including a detailed account of the
causes and events of the British-Boer
war. r...' . SIS

THE SCHOOLS.
Notes of the Progress of Work in the
Public Schools.

The enrolment of the public schools
is the largest it has ever been at n
one time. Every room is taxed to it's
fullest capacity. There is no general
sickness and the weather has been fay
cradle to a regular attendance. The
general work of the school as IL whole
is much better because of the provision
IN the way Of supplementary reading in
geography and history made by the
board of education for all grades. This
has been of great assistance to all the
teachers in their work.
The attendance in the high school
still keeps up to it's high standard. and
the work is going on steadily day by
day. The senior class has nearly
completed it's school work for the wear
and will soon be preparing for their
graduating exercises.
The first year class in the high
school is the largest and one of the
most capable that has entered the
high school in four years. 1t was
fully UP to the standard required for
admission.
In the eighth grade Frances Welch
ranked first in her class, John Me-
Donald second and Alice and Mabel
Johnson and Lily Chamberlain tied for
third place on the work done during
the last half of the fall term.
The d~emoralizing effect of the prize
fights occurring in New York are very
manifest in Bismarck. especially
among the young boys. Several have
been attempting to put in practice the
manly art at the expense of associates.
Over two hundred volumes have
been added to the general library by
the efforts of the pupils themselves.
This includes some of the most yalu-
able reference books.

H LAW.

Business at the local land office is
lively these days with the applications
OF settlers in the western part of the
state for land filings under the reser-
voir law, which went into effect not
long ago. The law was passed with
the idea of encouraging the building
OF dams and reservoirs for the storage
OF water in some states. to the i'm
,prOvement of the general conditions
in states where water is scarce. by
storing UP the rainfall that wastes
away through mountain streams and
ravlnes. Under the provisions OF. the
law anyone a reserve and have the
use OF l60 acres of land in one section
fol- fifty years, providing he builds a
reservoir, that will hold and contain
l.5GO,OO0 gallons of water, such reser-
Vo1r must be on the same section with
the land reserved.
The provisions of the law are being
extensively taken advantage of by set
tier. IN the western part of the state,
although it is improbable that many
reservoirs will be constructed. for the
reason that the natural conditions are
such that to- construct reservoirs in
many of the places where land has
beer filed upon would be impossible.
But filing upon the land keeps other
settlers off. and stockmen, by the pay
ment of the filing fees, may have the
use of the land until the entries are
cancelled, and in the meantime they
secure the S of the land and keep
settlers from encroaching upon their
ranges by the payment of a filing fee.
Another provision of the law is as
follows: LANDS so reserved shall
not be fenced bat shall be kept open
to the free use of any person desiring
to water animals of any kind. If
lands so reserved are at any time
fenced OF otherwise enclosed, or if
they are not kept open to the free use
OF any person as aforesaid desiring to
water animals Of any kind, or if the
reservoir applicant attempts to use
them for any other purpose, Or if the
reservation is not obtained for the
bona fde and exclusive purpose of con.
struoting and maintaining a reservoir

WHEAT RAISING.
Interesting Historical Paper on Wheat
Raising Read Before Historical
Society.

The History of Wheat Raising in the
Red River Valley" the surprising story
of the valley itself-that cereal Golcon-
da-the wealth on which has increased
in thirty years from almost zero to little
less than a quarter Of a billion dollars
this was the subject discussed before
the annual meeting Of the Minnesota
State Historical society by George n.
Lamphere of Moorhead.
The beginning Of wheat raising in
the valley was at the Selkirk settle
ment north of the boundary line. near
Fort Garry. The first crop of wheat
was harvested in 1920. The grain
was cut with .scythes or sickles. tied
in bundles with willowSWithes, failed
on the barn floor and cleaned in the
wind. Women and children. assisted
the men. These methods We're still in
use when Charles Cavalier of Pembina
visited the Selkirk settlement in 1851.
No wheat was grown south of the
boundary line until 1871. Then or
possibly the next year, Charles Bot

north of the Pembina river: seeded to
wheat ten acres he had cultivated as a
garden. The yield of wheat he as
serts. was fifty bushels to the acre.
In the winter of 1S71-72 Henry A.
Burns, a settler at Moorhead, gathered
500 bushels of wheat along the Min
nesota river and hauled it hundreds of
miles.
THE following spring he distributed
1t among farmers of Clay and Norman
counties, Minnesota, and of Cass and
Trail counties, Dakota. This wheat
was sown, but owing to the grasshop-
per scourge no more than the seed was
saved. In the fall of 1873 Mr.. Burns
shipped the first carload of Red river
wheat to Duluth.
\ wheat was grown on the Min
nescta side of the valley north of the
Northern Pacific railroad, except near
Moorhead. until in 1878 the Manitoba,
now the Great Northern railway. was
completed to st. Vincent. Railways
have been the most important factors
in settling the country. although the

of possibilities were influential.
