tie were naturally immune from the
fatal cattle disease, hut the doctors
experiments teach that this is not
true. Native cattle are not immune
at birth, as the present experiments
prove, but are subject 10 the tick

Ticks produce fever in non Immune
cattle, and a very large per ccnt.ge

it has been demonstrated that native
calves are also non immune. At some
period of their lives they are immun.
izcd by lnoculation performed by
ticks, presumably in early life. Some
of the calves now undergoing expert
mcntation have fever, which is proof
positive that at birth they enjoy no
greater immunity than imported
stock.
The experiments made by DR..
DaIrymp'e and other scientist are
very valuable, and it is now only

GOULD BE DRAINED
Prof. C. W. Hall Favors Plan
to Dry Up Lake Traverse.
Well Known GeoIogist Says Great
Benefits Would Result to Surround
ing Regions.

Minneapolis Journal: The tele-
graphic report in morning paper
that the proposed bill to drain Lake
Traverse into Big Stone lake is re-
garded as a joke, is at variance with
the opinion of Christopher W. Hall,
professor of geology at the university,
who is thoroughly familiar with the
topography of the state
Professor Hall considers the scheme
eminently practicable, and of inesti-
mable importance to the western and
northwestern portions of the state
The bill as introduced in the senate
is drawn in the interests of F. L.
Carson of Oklahoma, who proposes to
drain the land on condition that all
lands now included in the bed of the
lake be granted to him and his heirs.
Professor Hall has given the matter
considerable attention and has studied
the results of such an engineering
feat. If the drainage canal between
Lake Traverse and Big Stone lake were
extended through Lake Traverse to the
point where the Bots de Sioux river its
beginning, thai river would be turned
back upon itself and would flow south
instead of north as it now does. Fur
thermore that river could then be
made to drain the greater portion of
western Minnesota in season when the
Red river of the North is taxed be-
yond its capacity.
This could be easily effected by the
construction of dam at Brecken-
ridge, where the Red river takes a
head to the north and where the Bots
de Sioux flows into the Red.
The immense quantity of water
could then be directed into Big Stone
lake and through the Minnesota river
into the Mississippi, thus relieving
the. Red river and preventing the over
flows which are constantly recurring
danger in the Red river valley. The
Red river as it flows north has fall
of less than foot to the mile and in
consequence the current is very slug
gish,
The plan to drain Traverse into Big
Stone would not meet with serious en-
cheering difficulties. The distance
between the lakes is about i've miles,
although q canal would have to be
constructed through the lake which is
about twenty-five miles in length, in
order to carry off the waters of the
Bots de Sioux. The elevation at
Browns valley is approximately 975
feet, and that of Big Stone lake 983,
30 that a sufficient fall is secured for
good current throuh the channel.
Professor Hall thinks that such an
engineering project if carried through,
would work wonders for the north
west, which is now suffering from
insufficient drainage. Floods in that
portion of the state could be easily
controlled through the manipulation
of the dam at Breckenridge, and in
times of high water the overflow
could be directed into the Minnesota
river which would not be appreciably
effected by the addition.
Tie expense of completing such an
Improvement would not be enormous
and the lands set free in what is now
the bed of Lake Traverse would be
very valuable after they had been
allowed to lie idle for time.

ed to their growth that bass fishing
was already excellent and specimens
of bass weighing more than three
pounds were taken.
For several years the Susquehanna
and Delaware bass had the fighting
blood Of the Potomac bass alone, as
descendants of the thirty fish from the
West Virginia creek that came across
the Alleganies in the Baltimore &
Ohio engine tank, and the Delaware
river bass have 1t yet; but few years
after the bass were put in the Susque-
hanna, Col. ]. e. Jones, then of
Steuben county, now directuor of the
New York aquarium, raised a fund
with which, through Seth Green, then
of the New York state fish commits
sion. a large number of adult black
bass were brought from Lake Ontario
and placed in the Chemung river and
its tributary, the Canisteo. This
northern stock met the southern stock
that came up the Susquehanna from
the lower waters, and it is declare by
experienced sportsmen that the cross
as produced a black bass unequalled
for fighting qualities anywhere.
That is the way the game an endur-
ing black bass came out OF the west.

HEAVY LIVE STOCK MOVEMENT

Range cattle have begun to move
north to the green pastures of Okla
homa and Kansas to be fattened. It
is estimated that nearly two hundred
thousand head will be carried by the
Santa Fe alone, which beats any pre-
vious record. Since the first of April
three thousand cars filled with long
horns and short horns have been haul
ed from Texas points via the Purcell
gateway, and as many more carloads
are on the way. Two thousand car
loads will come from the Pecos valley
and Panhandle districts and Eve
bundled from New Mexico. This
great movement is being handled with
ease, owing to the extensive equip
ment available. 1t is noteworthy
exodus and an improvement with re-
spect to time and cost over the old
way of driving on the hoof, but not
so spectacular. The cowboy tenn
porarily takes back seat and the
trainhand is king for few days. The
cattle will not be ready for market
until next autumn.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.
Rochester Man Perfects a New Bicy
Gle Rack.

An invention just made by Roches-
ter, Mimi, man says the Winona
Republican and Herald, promises to
do away with the necessity of having
bicycle racks for holding wheels when
not in use. Jens Rasmussen, the in
ventor has applied for patent and he
had been advised that it will be grant
ed, as there is nothing like it in the
patent Office.
The new device is to be fastened on
the frame back of the front wheel
By pressing spring at the top two
standards drop down, one on each
side of the bicycle, forming a solid
support for the wheel
By again pressing the spring the
two lateral legs are drawn up out of
the way of the rider and the wheel
and the bicycle is ready for use.
Mr.. Rasmussen has made arrange
ments with Minneapolis firm for
the manufacture of the first thousands
and they will soon be placed on the
I market for sale.
