SpOrtsmen Urged to

Every citizen Of North Dakota Is
urged by the state game and fish de-
partment to get behind the Missouri
river diversion plan in the uphill pull
to put the project over.
Even though it may again be dry
next spring as far as rainfall IS con-
cerned, the department said in re-
viewing the plight" Of migratory
water fowl, North Dakota will have
thousands Of acres more water than
this year with which to care for the
waterfowl as result OF construction
OF numerous dams over the state.
But until We have completed the
Missouri river diversion plan, our
efforts are as mere drops in an arid
lake-bed.
While natural conditions were
very unfavorable to the duck popula-
ton this year. all species Of upland
game birds staged a real comeback.

Experiments on Flies Prove Heat
Is Leading Factor in Evolution

that heat, acting on the bodies Of
living creatures, has been one Of
the causes Of the process Of evo-
luton that many scientists agree
has gradually developed the hui
man race from primitive one
celled animals.
Heat helps along the process Of
evolution by producing changes in
the germ cell, known as muta-
tions, developing new types Of
creatures which in turn pass on
their new characteristics to their
offspring, DR.. Plough explained.
Under conditions of nature, he be-
lieves, heat might be expected to
speed up the process of evolution
by speeding up the production Of
new types Of animals. He added,
however, that Darwin's old idea Of
natural selection and survival of
the fittest Is the chief directing
force In evolution.
If heat can produce new kinds
Of fruit flies in the laboratory, the
same thing must happen under
natural conditions, DR.. Plough be-
lieves. He used 100000 files in
the experiments, carrying some fly
families through 10 generations.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 29.-R
Making new kinds Of animals
by subjecting their parents to un-
accustomed heat, new evidence
that heat has been one Of the
causes Of evolution by producing
new kinds Of creatures, was de-
scribed Friday to the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science.
The new animals in this case
are brand-new kinds OF fruit flies,
which have been born with char
acteristics not before found In
their families, such as stub wings,
smaller eyes and changed color OF
eyes and body. The new charac-
teristics were produced by sub
jecting the parent flies to- tenn
perature Of 90 degrees Fahrenheit
for "a to 80 hours, causing
changes in the "genes" or here
dity-carriers of the parents that
are passed on to their offspring.
This experiment, believed to be
a sample of evolution actually
at work, was performed by Dr.:
Harold H. Plough, and Philip T.

years tax payment as Of December I.
4 total Of 58.l12o Of all 1892 taxes had
been collected, as compared with an
average for like date, since 1924, of
rs per cent. State Auditor Berta e.
Baker shows more than ~ per cent
of all 1881 levies paid by December I
OF this year. This record has been
made in spite of resclnded penalties
for delinquency.
Citing an angle Of meritorius de-
velopment which has occurred during
the year, the G. N. D. A. shows that
Of the allowable 1900 miles Of state
highway system, a total Of 6,l68 miles
has been earth graded, of which
1892 miles has been graveled. Work
completed during 1893 totaled 1,707
miles. This is one Of the few states
in the nation which has been develop
ing splendid highway system on q
cash basis, with no state road bonds
issued. AS the system expands, how
ever, rising maintenance and re-
placement costs will have to be pro-
vided to protect the monetary in
vestment and to provide easy and
safe transportation. A minimum Of
100000 annually is viewed as a ne
cessity for regraveling. New car sales,
volume Of traffic, gasoline tax receipts
and other business factors are largely
determined by the type and extent
Of the highway system.
New Car Sales Up
Up to December l, the Commercial
Service, Inc, Bismarck, computes
rev car sales in North Dakota at
5,135, as compared with only 1920 a
year ago. Trucks and buses showed
4 gain from 1872 to 1,l05 In the same
period.
Although figures are not yet avail
able at Bismarck showing the exact
reduction in total tax levies for 1888
as compared with 1882, 1t is estimated
that 10 per cent or greater cut
will have been achieved. In spite Of
the lowered tax revenues to most sub
divisions, the rural schools Of North
Dakota have carried on during 1893
with almost no abandonment OF
schedules. A. E. Thompson, sup
erintendent Of public instruction
reports that on December Is, there
were just 10 rural schools which
were not operating. This is from
