Enrolment at the School Of Forestry
Still Increasing
MUSIC Department STARTED
The Basketball Teams Are Prepar-
Ing to Take Several Rather
Long Trips

New students continue to
come in to enroll for the winter
term at the School of Forestry
and the enrolment at present
far exceeds any former enroll
ment in the history of the
school. Inquiries are received
daily from prospective students
in distant parts of the country.
The new classes are progress
ing nicely and still other classes
are to be formed in the future.
Work in agriculture and horti-
culture will be taken up in the
spring as we'll as dairying.
The class in cooking for the
boys is very interesting and
grows in membership rapidly.
The commercial department
is crowded to the doors. The
large rooms devoted to the de-
partment can scarcely accom-
modate the big new classes.
Athletics are very active and
great interest shown by both
boys and girls, The basketball
teams are getting into training
and expect to take some trips
to other towns for games soon.
The boys are to take two long
trips in January and February.
One to the east taking in Far
go and other points, the other
to the west to Kenmare and
other towns.
The school is busy sending
out Bulletins No. 1, 2, 3 and 4
which are ready for distribu-
ton. Any or all of these bul. !.
letins will be sent gratis on
receipt of application. No. l,
Demonstration Work at the
School of Forestry; No. 2,
Methods in Tree Culture; No.
3, Beautifying h Home
Grounds; No. 4, Nurser. and
Seed Box Methods. All are
likely to be of use to those in
terested in the cultivation of
trees. ....
Miss Thompson, coach of the
girls basketball team has a
large number of girls in the
gymnasium on Tuesdays and
Thursdays getting them in
shape for the coming games.
Owing to the fact that there are
a large number of new ones in
the school the outlook for a
snappy team was never better.
The long looked for musical
department of the school has
been started in vocal music,
harmony and theory. Presid-
ent Mills hopes soon to have a
competent violin instructor for
the young men on account of
the great demand, and from
the fact that several young
men who have lately entered
school are able to play different
musical instruments, there is
considerable talk of starting
an orchestra.

City Water AnaIyzsd

The following letter to A. O.
Williams of this city from Eff.
Ladd, state food commissioner,
is self explanatory:
Fargo, January Is, 1912.
A. O. Williams,
Bottineau, N. ID.
Dear Sir: The sample of
water, submitted for analysis.
has been examined and found
to contain aa follows:
Sample No. 1868, marked
City Water, Bottineau.'
Parts per million
Chlorine .... 648
Equivalent 8 sodium
chloride, salt. =. 1869
Volatile and organic mat
tCT. ..... 100
Mineral solids. ..... 1926
Total solids. 272O
Nitrites. O
Nitrates. -. .S8
The solids in this water are
made up Off sodium chloride,
salts. 1869 parts; volatile and
organic matter 1915 parts; mag
nesium sulfate or epson salts a
slight amount; and the balance
OF the solids are almost wholly
in the form of alkali, sodium
bicarbonate.
This water contains too much
of solids to be a good drinkin g
water. The very high content
of nitrates shows contamina-
ton. The sample is so small
that we could not make more
complete chemical analysis.
The archaeological examina-
ton shows the water to be free
from sewerage contamination,
low in bacteria, and with an
absence of colon bacillus. The
water, however, contains too
much solids to be a good drink
ing water for man.
Yours very truly,

Willow City Basket Ball Aegrsgailons
Here Last Friday Evening
BOTH GAMES WERE VERY sMAPPY
Willow City Boys Won 81 to II;
6ottlneau Girls Won 8 to a
Good Crowd

va 1OS VI O0SAOSOdA WCAO pay
ed at the high school gymnas-
ium last Friday evening, the
opposing teams being the boys
and girls teams of the Willow
City high school and the teams
of the local school.
The girls teams were the
first on the floor and opened
the game with vim which
was characteristic throughout
both game. There were several
minutes of fast passing and
close guarding on the part of
both teams until Willow City
succeeded in making a basket
from the field. Bottineau how
ever retaliated by making a
pretty one at long distance.
This concluded the scoring for
the first half, leaving the large
crowd present entirely in the
dark as to the outcome of the
game.
Ihe boys now came on the
floor and began their. session.
It was evident from the first
that it was to be as speedy a
game as was ever seen on a
local floor. To the disappoint-
ment of the Bottineau rooters
however it was also evident
that our boys were being out
classed in every department of
the game, except possibly in
the ability to make baskets at
a distance. In this particular
our boys were even guilty of
attempting too long throws,
Our boys were unable, to solve.
the brilliant team work and to
intercept the long, beautiful
passes made by the Willow
City boys. The result was
that at the end of the first half
the localteam found themselves
with only about half as many
points as the visitors. The half
was marred with considerable
fouling on both sides although
but few of these resulted in
points.
The girls came on the floor
for their last half. Aggressive
but clean playing was done by
both sides. A notable feature
of the half was that not a foul
was called. Willow City again
made the first basket, soon to
be followed by Bottineau. The
visitors failed to score any
more due to the vigilance of
our guards, while the home
girls succeeded in making two
more baskets from the field,
making the final score 8-4 in
their favor.
When the last half of the
boys game opened the local
team Immediately rallied and
made two baskets in rapid
succession so it looked as
though the Willow City lead
was in danger. The visitors
soon became calm, however,
got their team working and
proceeded to execute the pretty
passes which are possible only
in the open game they put up.
There was considerable fouling
on both sides, due probably to
the strenuousness of the match
and the determination to win.
No particular star can be men
toned for both games were
won entirely on the work of
the teams as whole. There
was some individual playing
but individual work was not a
factor in determining the win
ners.
The games were we'll handled

Chicago. H.. June IS.-On the eve OF

Col Roosevelt last night disclosed the
line Of attack which he viii make he
laid down two principles
He said the delegates whose election

clear that he would resist it. He said
no action of the convention based upon
the votes of these ''fraudulently seated

Republican party.
II was at the Roosevelt rally in the
auditorium that the eS-presldent made
his challenge. He was facing a cheer

When Col Roosevelt said that any

when at last he could make himself

Col Roosevelt made 1t plain, in q
sentence which he interpreted, that the
decisive test in the convention probably
would be made on the vote for tenn
porary chairman.

that under parliamentary ruling the

He appealed TO every delegate

man. TO stand with his supporters in

which Judge Lindsey refers to Mr. Ste
