Finlander in Trouble.

Reinholt Lainen, a Finlander who
resided in Port Emma township for
several years, but who moved across
the line into Savo township last fall,
was arrested by the Brown county
authorities few days ago, on COM
plant of his wife, charged with adul-
terry. Later the case was dismissed
because the woman relented \ and
would not testify against him. The
Aberdeen News gives the following
account of it: Under the laws she
could not be compelled to testify
against her husband, even after hav-
ing sworn out the complaint. 1t is
alleged that the story told by the
wife through an interpreter before
the case was begun revealed rather
unusual state of affairs in the Fin
landers home, and large number OF
curious men gathered in the justice
court to hear the case, which prom
ised to be rather salacious. A sister
of the wife was put on the stand, and
it developed from her testimony.
given through an interpreter, that
though unmarried, she had given
birth to two children. Lainen's at
torney refused to allow her to testify
as to the father of the children on
the ground that she might incrimi-
nate herself IN the adultery charge
The most singular part OF the situa
tion developed when it appeared that
Laiuen's wife did not make charges
against her husband in connection
with her sister but drew the line in
the case of third woman whom he
had brought into the house 1t is
alleged that Lainen haying promised
to send the third woman away, the
other women relented and were will
ing to let him off. and therefore tool
advantage of the statutory provision
which excused them from testifying

Insurance Rates.

Some little while ago there ap-
peared a statement in the Mime
apolis Journal which claimed that
the ratio of fire losses was greater in
North Dakota than in other states.
The cause OF this bad showing, which
is unfavorable to North Dakota,
dates back to 1898 when the amount
of risks writed aggregated $2l, ,353,.
$50 and the losses that year reached
$l,l79,66l, making the ratio of loss
291.l per cent. Again in 1898 North
Dakota was heavy sufferer and the
ratio of loss was 9o.3 per cent, The
destructive fires of these two years
are the cause of this heavy per cent
age of loss. II we should eliminate
these two years, then the average
ratio OF loss for ten years would be a
trIae over 52.8 per cent.
During the past two years North
Dakota towns have spent large sums
of money in securing better fire pro.
lection in the way OF improved fire
apparatus. The result has been a
decrease in losses by fires, and this
assertion is borne out by statistics
A persual OF them discloses the fact
that North Dakota's average ratio ol
losses for the years of 1899 and 1900
falls below those of number o1
other states. The following is the
average ratio of losses for the years
OF 1899 and 1900 of some of the
states and territories:
Oakes Republican. (Oakes, N.D.) 1898-1906, 1901-08-02


est states of the union exceed North
Dakota in the ratio of losses, while
there are prominent states in the east
south and west following in close
wake. If insurance companies COM
plain of their heavy losses in North
Dakota for the years mentioned,
what must they say of New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Take as an
illustration Canada, and the ratio of
it's losses for 1899 and 1900 reaches
the high average of 84.5 per cent,
and yet insurance companies are
eager to accept risks in that domin-
ion.
There is movement on foot to in
crease insurance rates in this state
without just cause or provication.
Our fire projections are better and
more complete than ever before, and
greater precautions are taken to pre-
vent fires and their spread, yet fire
companies are advancing the cost of
insurance. The ratio of losses for
1900 was 67.3 and that was a less
amount than in 1897, 1899 and 1899
But the decree has gone forth and
the rates are being boosted upward
Newspapers have helped this along
The Minneapolis Journals article
was copied in several of our state
dailies and the lesser lights followed
suit, the people read it and were pre-
pared, in fact accepted the raise with
out a murmur. They couldn't helf

FRIDAY of last week Banker Prom, of
Milton, appeared before the industrial
commission at Washington and gave
some strong testimony tending to show
collusion between the line of elevators
and railroads runnin. into the wheat
belt of the Northwest. He charged that
the railroad companies refused to supply
cars for the movement of grain from in
dependent elevators, forcing farmers to
sell their grain to cline" elevators. He
said that If independent elevators could
send grain directly to market at Mime
apolis and Duluth, from one to five cents
per bushel more would be realized 10y the
farmers selling to them.
Banker Prom also stated that the peo-
pie of North Dakota had grievance
against the grain inspection of Mime.
sofa. He testified that they graded
North Dakota wheat too low, while MIN
nesota wheat YVES graded too high. He
stated that no Mort, Dakota wheat av-
eraged higher grade than the product
of Minnesota and that wheat from his
state was used as "fiiler' to bring the
Minnesota -four up to the standard:
He also charged collision between
Minnesota inspectors and certain pur-
chasers and cited q case of the rejection
of consignment Of flax III North Dakota
1t was sent to Minneapolis and there it
was graded as No As 1t had been
sold to a jobber in North Dakota at low
or grade he was enabled to sell it as No.
l and realize handsome profit at the
expense of the grower. When asked if
his statements of collision were simply
his personal opinion or based on facts be
replied that they were based on facts.
He denounced the Minnesota inspection
law aud said that the Office of grain
inspector should be taken out of poll
tics. Under the Minnesota law the
farmers of his state were at the mercy
of the inspectors, as appeals from their
decisions seldom resulted in any change
of grading. He stated that the way III
which justice could be done wheat rals-
ers of all the northwestern states in the
matter of grain inspection was to have
an interstate inspection law coverin- the
states of Minnesota, N Jrth and South
Dakota and Wisconsin.
