It will thus be seen that the earli-
est date of breakup was March 13,
1910, and the latest was April IL.
1899. The average date of breakup
is April l. The highest stage of Wa
ter ever recorded at Bismarck was
276 feet above the zero of the gage
on March 81, 1881. The lowest was
81 feet on December IL, 1913.
Replying to the inquiry - to
whether or not there was@ much
danger of an overflow this year, Mr..
Roberts replied that there was al
ways danger of flood as long as
there was ice either solid or floating
in the Missouri River. There have
been numerous occasions when the
lowlands below Bismarck were COW
cred to a depth of several feet from
the overflowing of the Missouri Riv-
er due to gorges. The following
table shows the years and highest
stages reached.

SPRING WORK
FAR BEHIND
Little If Any Actual Cultiva-
tiOn or Sowing of Seed

Fargo, N. D.. March 20.-March 81
Saturday, is the first day of spring
And in the spring the Greek god
dess Ceres, according to- all the best
authorities, is scheduled to bring
forth young shoots of the plants
the husbandmen have set out with
we'll laid plans Of marketing their
growth in the fall.
But Ceres did not live in North
Dakota.
And the husbandmen in North Da-
kota, on that day of the legal be-
ginning of the pre-summer period,
will be far behind the schedule as
the calendar reckons, IL.
That is to say that North Dakota
farmers will not have set out many,
if any plants for Ceres to "shoot"
on the legal beginning of spring.
Officials at the state agricultural
college here, asked how much Of the
"spring" work would be done on
North Dakota farms on the right
full opening Of that period, said that
little, if any, will be done toward
actual cultivation of the soil or sew
ing Of seed.
One official at the college, return
ed but few hours before being in
terviewed from a trip in connection
with his work over the state, was
vehement in his assertion that none
of the spring work will be done on
March 81.
"If you had cracked the ice out of
a score of water pitchers in as many
small hotels on the same number
Of mornings, as I have, you wouldn't
ask how much work the farmers will
have done Match 21," he declared.
Others Of the teaching staff at
the state farm school said that al
though this could not be considered
long winter. it is lasting longer
than last winter, and that as a re-
suit, the plowing- planting operations
will be delayed somewhat.
According to these men, the agri-
cultural work in the eastern part of
the state will be started before oper-
ations will open in the section west
of here, because that part of North
Dakota has had harder winter with
more snow and lower temperatures.
Several Cass county farmers,
drawn on jury service and working
at the county court house here, in
formed the Associated Press, they
would not ask to be excused from
jury service Immediately, nor until
the weather moderates." Farm work,
they said, could not open until the
frost is out Of the ground, and most
Of the repair and other winter work
has been completed.
So North Dakota waits, though
the calendar announces Spring is
here, until the lady actually depos.

any change it should be upward, be-
cause the season is one month fur

In a tabulation with the report,
range conditions are listed as n

1924 Reported Poor Year for Soft
 Coal Industry

By International Labor News Service.
 Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. H.-The year 1924 was poor one for the bitu- minous coa Industry, according to off cia1s of the United Mine Workers. Hundreds of miners were idle. Hun fdreds more worked only fraction of the time. Few mines were operated full time and sotf coal miners all over the country were hit by unemployment. They did not earn a decent living, the statement from international headquar- ters declares.
 Non-union coal companies in West Virginia and Kentucky followed their old policy of cut-throating one an other, and the entire industry, i'll order to get business. They cut the wages of their miners who were helpless to protest. They cut the prices of their coal. Next they again cut the miners wages and again reduced the price of coal. They have followed this plan until their employees are working for starvation wages. The public has en- couraged these non-union coal com panies in this policy by buying their local instead of buying coal that is pro- duced under decent American condi- tions. Apparently the public consci- ence approves the starving of these poor miners and their families if thus lit obtains cheap coal.
 The United Mine Workers propose to help these miserable slaves by or ganizing them and putting them on higher level of living. This could not be accomplished in 1924, but long steps can be taken in 1925, the state ment by the international union con- cludes.

 Always unafraid, always alert to danger to the country he loved so we'll to the toi1ers he served so generously to those who come after him the mem ory of his life will forever be an in spiration to nobler manhood, to higher ideals.

 To the last hour of his life he was as full of hope as is the budding spring time He carried lightly his more than three score years and ten. He found no time to sit in the shadows of the evening dreaming of the days that had passed. The tranquil, down ward path that loiters through the quiet, green valley knew not his step.
 The glow of the sunrise was ever in his eyes-the mountain peaks of the east forever beckoned to yet greater heights to soar.

 History has inscribed his deeds in records that the future can not change. Nature was kind to him. While yet the sunset colors painted deep the ern sky, wrapped in the "dreamless drapery of eternal peace", she laid him down to sleep beneath the evening star.
