Dickinson, mostly Duchess and
Wealthys.
The wealth of young shade trees is
refreshing. A belt has been set across
the quarter so as to catch several kinds
OF soils. There is ash, box elder, soft
maple and poplars. Evergreens are also
used. These trees are all thrifty and so
far nothing has shown up that is at all
discouraging. Growth 50 far has equalled
all expectations. We thought the soft
naples were quite a long way from
nom home, but So far they have not frozen
own.
In conclusion, let US say that the Dick
lnson station has made a. magnificent
start, one that should be maintained.
Situated as it is, it is one of the vital
institutions in the state. 1t will need,
and should have, the encouragement of
the farmers of the state. We have seen
dry years before, and may see them
again, and when they come the whole
state, with the possible exception of the
Red River valley, will look to Dickinson
and Edgeley for help. These two SUBJ
stations probably represent So per CEN
of the farmers in North Dakota, and in
dry years more. They are working out
problems that mean cash to every man
on land when at any time it may be
necessary to conserve moisture. For
thousands and thousands, their work will
mean the difference between absolute
failure and a living with a comfortable
home, and that should be the first con-
sideration of the farmer, and for that
matter, of every man who has the true
welfare of the state at heart.

A REMARKABLE BLAST.

Takes Weeks Of Preparation and Hun
drsds Of Pounds Of Powder.
One OF the methods Of quarrying
granite is to dislodge q huge sheet
from the surface of the formation
through the medium of powder mine.
A large perpendicular shaft is first
blasted to depth of about thirty feet.
At the bottom OF this and radiating
horizontally, like the spokes of huge
wheel. long holes are drilled.
The extremities Of these holes, says
Popular Mechanics, are then shot with
light charges OF dynamite In order to
create chambers large enough to re-
ceive large quantities OF black powder.
This takes weeks Of ever increasing
charges.
Then the final charge is loaded. The
now huge chambers at the extremities
Of the spokes are packed with hum
dreds Of pounds OF powder, numerous
electric wires attached, and the whole
mine tamped with fine mat rial. A
mighty roar and rumble In the bow

State News Of Interest
NoN-REsERvA7ioN SCHOOLS HIT
Cannot Send Solicitors for Pupils to
Agencies.


Cannot Send Solicitors for Pupils to
Agencies.
The authorities of the various non
reservation Indian schools throughout
South Dakota are greatly worried over
the future of their schools because
Of an order which has been promul-
gated by Commissioner Leupp Of the
Indian bureau at Washington pro-
hibiting them from In future going In
person or sending agents to the Indian
reservations for the purpose Of So
liciting Indian pupils for their schools.
Heretofore, in order to secure even
~ fair attendance of Indian children
at the non-reservation schools 1t has
been necessary for the superintend-
ents or their assistants to visit the
Indian reservations and induce chill
dren to attend the schools. Had this
not been done the attendance would
not have been sufficient to warrant
the schools in being run.
Among the non-reservation Indian
schools which will be seriously at
fected by the order Of Commissioner
Leupp are those at Rapid City, Cham
berlain. Springfield. Flandreau, s. D..
and the Indian school at Pipestons,
MINI. Practically all Of these schools
have become mammoth institutions,
and the attendance has averaged
well. but this has been accomplished
only by the superintendents and their
assistants being able to visit the va
rious Indian reservations Of the North
west states to secure pupils for the
schools.
These pupils come from the ressr-
vations Of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
North Dakota @and South Dakota.
Some fear that the order, II not re-
scinded. will result In the closing Of
Ut least some Of the schools at the
places mentioned.
II the order remains In effect the
nOn-reservation schools will have to
depend solely upon the United States
Indian agents in charge of the various
reservations voluntarily to send pu-
pills to the non-reservation schools,
and as the agents have the Indian
schools on the reservations to look
after, it is practically certain that no
pupils will be sent to the non-reser-
walton school.
Those who favor the reservation
schools as against the non-reservation
Institutions endeavored during the re-
cent session of congress to have an
act passed along the same lines as
the order Of Commissioner Leupp, but
congress failed to take any action.
Those who have the interests Of the
non-reservation Indian schools at
heart now propose organizing for the
purpose Of calling upon such senators
and congressman, as they can infi,l.
ence to take the matter up with Presi.
dent Roosevelt, and, IL possible, Sc.
cure modification Of the order OF
Commissioner Leupp pending action
by congress upon the non-reservation
school matter.
