Indian reservation having approx
mately 10, 900, 900 feet of pine valued
at SO, 900 to 500, 900, says the Pho

year ago the selection was approved
by the general land Office, after the
state auditor and Commissioner W. A.
Richards of the general land Office had
held a conference in Washington. The
settlers on the reservation, however,
filed protest, on the ground that the
land Is not swamp, and the commits
sloner of the general land Office ap.
pointed a commissioner to ascertain
whether it is swamp, and therefore
the property of Minnesota.
This commissioner is now at work
on the reservation, getting evidence
as to the nature of the land. Although

MISS DAHL MAY BE ALIVE,

Bemidji, MINI, Aug. 9.-The
fastest evidence developed in the
search for Miss Aagot Dahl was found
yesterday at the cabin of Paul Four
nier. who is now confined in the
county Jail on the charge of murder.
it ia in the shape of small piece of
lace, having evidently been worn by a
woman.
Fournier's snack is only half a mile
from that Of Miss Dahl's and it is
thought that If the theory that she has
been carried away and is being held a
prisoner is true it would be very like
Iy that if Fourn1er had hand in the
crime she would he taken to his cabin
preparatory to transporting her to
some secure place of concealment.
The strip Of lace found was small
and was evidently torn from the gar
ment upon which 1t was worn. Very
few women visited Fournier's cabin,
and for this reason it is thought that
the girl had teen forced there, and in
struggle for liberty tore the lace
from her dress.
This, with all other evidence upon
which Caldwell and Fournier are be.
ing held, Is circumstantial. but II
regarded by the authorities as very
important.
Should Miss Dahl be found, eithe,
dead or alive, her garments will show
whether or not the lace was torn from
her dress and If this proves TO be thu
case it will 60 far toward establishing
the charge against Fournler.
Opinions differ as to whether thu
young woman is dead or alive, bu
since finding the lace it seems to ia
70 the theory that she is still alive
and is being held captive.

4 NEW WHITE POTATO.

4 NEW WHITE POTATO. #.T
New York Tribune Farmer The re-
cent report from this Office concerning
Solanum commersonii, the Uruguay
potato, has brought 80 many inquiries
from all over the United States that I
submit herewith further information.
This wild aquatic vegetable was in
troduced from the river Mercedes,
Uruguay, and distributed in France
by Prof. Heckel, director of the
Colonial Institute Of Marseilles. In
it's original state the tubercle is very
bitter. but Doctor Heckel pronounces
the reeults of four years of expert
ments with it marvellous.
The leaves are small and slender
somewhat like those Of the Irish pota-
to, and the flowers are abundant, of
pale violet color, and very odorous,
the perfume resembling that of jas
mine. New stems and tubercles
branch off in every direction all the
year, and after one planting, the
plant perpetuates itself from the
broken roots left in the soil.
The vegetable proper THAT is, the
tubercle) weighs from to ~
pounds, and has a yellowish, wrirkled
skin, covered with lenticles, which
disappear after culture.
The pulp. when cooked, has a slight
greenish color Of % taken by hazard
and cooked with their skin on in
1901, all wsre very bitter; but in
1903. upon farm that cultivated the
Salanam commersonii, the severest
cryptogamic maladies known made
their appearance, yet SO per cent of
the tubercles of this new potato were
found intact, while OF the Early Rose
potato only 10 per cent were good.
Planting is done toward the end OF
March. preferably in level ground,
so as TO diminish drainage The best
depth seems to be about three inches.
The digging, which is little more
difficult than that of the Irish potato,
because the numerous tubercles extend
in every direction. begins when colo
has arrested the growth Of the plant
In the same soil the yield is greatly
superior to that of the ordinary pota
to. The Early Rose in one instance
gave 80, 900 pounds to the acre, ant
the Solanum commersonii SO, 00t
ipounds. This new vegetable does no
seem to become acclimated until TIL
second year. The size, appearance ani
taste are modified. more rapidly afte
Eone year.
The new potato requires humid
fresh, even msrshy soil. In dry
sandy, clayey soil the yield has beel
% per cent less than In moist soil
The absence of sunlight causes
smaller yield, with smaller and in
ferior tubercies and ten to tiftee
days later ripening.
The foliage, refused by rabbits, i
eaten by horses, cattle and sheep. Tn
flowers, which makes their appearance
about a month after the plant show
above the soil, continue to be YER
abundant until the harvest. There ar
three varieties Of Solanum CONNER
