MELON SEASON A SUCCESS
About 40 Cars Have Been Shipped
This Season,

L
the sand hill has about ended. ]. +.
| Worley, who has handled most Of the
melons, has shipped about 40 cars Of
splendid melons.
The melon selling on the street has
developed until every year in late
August and early September dozen
wagons are lined up along the side
walk opposite the postotiice and the
citizens Of the town buy their supplies
there. Passing tourists stop for their
share and one or two wagons are at
the station when the through train
comes in and they sell many melons
to the passengers,
But that is merely the local trade.
In the last few years there has been
developed shipping trade as well.
The melon raisers are getting their
cantaloupe seed from Rocky Ford.
They are raising great watermelons
that are equal to those OF Georgia,
from which state comes the seed
Whole carloads in which every melon
weighs over thirty pounds are COM
mon. 1t is becoming a science with
the jewellers in the sand hills who are
becoming the most prosperous OF the
country's settlers.
The buyers pay sixty-five to seven
ty-tive cents hundred pounds for
melons as they are delivered to the
car. One Of the farmers took from an
acre and half $3.50 worth Of melons
and is not yet done picking. Over
90 acres of melons are yet to be
harvested and will bring high prices,
for this is good melon year. Even
the cantaloupes are excellent and
one can scarcely tell them from the
Rocky Fords, so luscious are tney'
One of these days the sand bill melons
will be Grated and shipped TO the
East as are those from the upper
Arkansas valley.
The sand hill country is the only
place on earth where melon stealing
is almost impossible. The melon
raisers have an organization and a
touring party of Automobiles found
it out to their sorrow the other day.
Alongside the road taken by Kansas
City-Denver tourists is a brick school
house and all around are melon
patches. The tourists saw the melons
and brought their carto stop. One
of the men made run for the field
and captured two big melons with
which he came back to the car. As
they started the heard bell ring,
but thought it was simply the school
signal and soon were whirling across
a bridge with their prize. At the
other end OF the bridge was man
with gun They stopped and were
politely asked ty pay So each for the
melons or go back to the city and
stand trial. They paid and went on,
Then there were two nice little
boys from Emporia who came up on
a visit. They are sons of a Sunday
school superintendent who probably
does not yet know why their trip was
SO expensive. They wentout to the
melon lands one night. They met an
innocent old man on the road and
boldly asked him who raised the best
melons. He directed them to the
field OF former city marshal of this
city, then went to neighbours and
teIephoned warning. The boys got
their melons and then paid $40 for
the same. They said they would
rather do that way than have their
parents know it through the court
records. Thus 1t is that melon steal
ing has become a lost art among the
BOYS Of this community.

The Grand Forks Herald in
reporting Senator Hansbrough's
address before the Chautauqua
assembly enormously states that
the speaker expressed himself as
opposed to tariff revision. The
report is in keeping with the
Herald's course in misrepre-
senting Senator Hansgrough. 1t
is we'll known that the Senator
is in favor of tariff revision and
if he had made any statements
to the contrary, some one would
have heard them, but the fact is
the tariff was mentioned merely
to the effect that as between
democratic free trade and repub-
lican protective tariff, the latter
was the settled principle OF
American administrative pol
lev.

STILL SUCCESSFUL

The continued success of the
Chautauqua during the past
week has been most gratifying
to the officers of the association.
Disagreeable weather, which
was experienced two or three
days, was the only appreciate
drawback to the enjoyment af-
forded the large audiences
which daily thronged the audi
forum, strolled within hearing
of the delightful band music,
rode on the unrufHed waters of
the lake or watched the exhiler-
ating games of base ball which
are daily played on Athletic
field.
At the fifteenth session of the
North Dakota Chautauqua as
ISOLATION the attendance on each
day has been unprecedented,
which is itself a glowing tribute
to the excellent array of speak
ers and entertainers the mana
cement has secured.
However, we cannot help but
feel that more adequate ar
engagements should be made in
the way of handling the crowd
to and from the park. The little
open cars, of which there are
but four, each with a seating
capacity of not more than IS,
are inadequate and uncomfort-
able to ride in. If it happens to
rain, while the train is in tran
sit as it has done on several oc-
casions, there is nothing for it
but for the passengers to take a
ducking,-as they have done
On big days, when there is q
crowd going from and coming
to the city, they are packed in
the car like sardines in box

smokers on the train should b.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

According to figures given out
by the Chicago Tribune thirty
seven men, women and children
are dead and 2,l53 are MANNED,
lacerated or burned as a result
of an excess of patriotism in the
United States on the Fourth.
Five persons lost their lives dur
ing the day by drowning, while
in swimming or bathing. The
Tribune also further states that
the dead is four more than last
years mortality, when but 80
lost their lives on that day, not
including 5 who were drowned.
It is but the usual aftermath
of the glorious Fourth. I'm
doubtedly most of the fatalities
resulted from carelessness on
the part of the victims.

horrible ever heard from human

wife, and later married another
woman, and how he had carried
death in its most awful form to

CAMP DUTY OPENS
First Regiment D. N. 6. Goes Into
Camp This M0rnina

By this morning, (Friday) the
First regiment of the North Da-
kota National Guards will have
arrived in the city, and by noon
time will be comfortably en-
sconced in their quarters at
Camp Logan, where they will
enjoy a weeks outing. Company
F form Mandan marched from
that place to the city overland
and were tired and dusty from
their long "hike' when they ar
rived in camp.
The regiment will arrive in
two trains, one from the east
and the other from the west.
They will both arrive in the city
at about the same time. The
famous First Regiment band
from Lisbon will accompany the
soldiers, and their coming is
looked forward to with pleasure.
They will also be accompanied
by battery A of Lisbon, and a
battalion of regulars from Fl
Lincoln at Bismarck.
Immense quantities of pro-
visions have been ordered from
merchants in the city to feed the
soldier boys during their stay
here. They will be furnished
with fresh bread, meat, milk anc
butter every morning.
The camp grounds have beer
undergoing extensive improve
ments within the past few week:
and both the parade grounds anc
the rifle range has been put il
first class shape. A path fifty
feet wide has been cut out from
the camp grove to the range
making it possible for the sol
diers to march to the latter plac'
: in rank, instead of taking tn
route step, as was necessar!
heretofore.
Headquarters for Governor
Burke, the commander-in-chie
of the state militia has bee1
erected, and he will be presen
the entire week.
, The regiment is under tn
command of Col. Frank P. Al
len Of Valley City, and consist
of the following companies:
A, Bismarck; B, Fargo; c
Grafton; D, Minot; E, Williston
t F, Mandan; G, Valley City; H

1 the regiment is not recruited t
: it's full quota of 1000 men, Their
1 will be that number in camp, a
the battalion is recruited to
strength of $50 men and the al
tillery numbers perhaps SO.
