Tint Balance of Trade.

According to the census reports, the
value of the total product of dried
apples in 1900 was S1,913,142, but
according to the treasury statistics we
exported the same year S2,247,S $50
worth Of the same product. 1t is
possible that the treasury, being run
on the protection basis, is anxious to
make as good a showing as possible
Of exports to help prove that protection
Is such a beneticent policy hal our
producers are paid more by the for
eigners than they value their product
at. There has for some time been
suspicion that the total value Of our
exports was being padded to quite a
degree, for apparently not more than
half the money involved appear to
be paid us by our foreign customers.
The treasury officials have tried to
explain this discrepancy between the
value of what we are supposed to
sell and the amount we know we are
receiving, but have made q sorry mess
Of it.

HE syndicates working inside of the
big insurance companies is only another
phase of the game so long worked by the
railroads under guise of :fast freight
lines. A number of directors of an in
surance company organize a "syndicate''
and purchase bonds of other syndicates.
These bonds are then sold at a big pro-
tit to the insurance companies as an sin
vestment for the benefit of the pol cy-
holders. The same game Is worked diff
ferently by the railroad companies. Rail
road officials organize a fast freight
line" and rename a lot of cars belonging
to the company. These cars are then
loaded as specials and the railroad y
car mileage on it's own ears to the fast
freight line" In tins way earnings to
tAe general stockholders are kept down,
an excuse offered for the maintenance
Of exorbitant rates, and q few men on the
inside pocket the proceeds.

FARMER Wallace, who during the
presidential election of 1900, made a
campaign through Cavalier county has
recently returned from the Lewis and
Clark exposition at Portland, Ore. where
he has been assisting at the North Da-
kota exhibit. He says his faith in North
Dakota has grown stronger by reason of
what he has seen on the coast: that
while Washington and Oregon constitute
a large and varied field, presenting many
opportunities to men of wealth, neither
state is as good a field for the plain
homeseeker and home-builder of mod
crate means as North Dakota-and the
laborer is better paid and can save more
money in North Dakota than on the
coast. He thinks the North Dakota ex-
hibit will prove of great benefit to the
state: he believes that many will visit
our state by reason of the information
secured at the exposition, and we will
secure our full share of immigration.
Farmer" Wallace advises all his friends
to stick to North Dakota-the best state
in the Union.

GOVERNOR SAELEs perhaps is a trife
too optimistic when he says that the
total grain crop of the state will run to
136,OOO,CO 0 bushels, but he is not very
much out of the way. The governor
sees 100000 bushels of wheat in North
Dakota, 100000 bushels fax, 35,OO0,-
900 bushels of oats and 100000 bush
els barley. If he is off any it is probably
by a few millions on wheat and FLAX, but
the total figure is a fair approximation.
Roughly speaking, this production would
run in the neighborhood of 578,00O,00
in farm value, and this is not all the new
wealth of North Dakota by any means.
There ought to be something doing" in
the Flickertail state this fall and winter.

North DAKOTA is one of the fields
eagerly sought by men of money as a safe
place for investment. During recent
years the banking business of the state
has been extending and the number of
banking institutions increasing, but few
realize how rapid the increase has been.
On June 9th, 1904, there were 2O9 banks
in the state with total deposits aggregat-
ing s9.8l6,532. On May 10Th, 1905, there
were 242 banks with deposits amounting
to Sl3.111, ll6. During the five months
since this later date 6s new state banks
have been organized. a large proportion
OF them being located in new towns along
the railroad extensions that have been
under construction since the opening
months of the past summer.

The official Hungarian estimate of the
production and requirements of wheat
during the current crop year indicate, so
far as they are accurate, a very desirable
situation from the standpoint of the
man who has wheat to Sell. In brief.
they show a worlds production of $780,
$4,000 bushels against 3,187,24S.OOO
bushels last year. The requirements of
countries which consume more than they
raise are estimated at 557,152,0OO bushels,
while the exportable surplus of those
that raise more than they consume is
estimated at 547,584,0OO bushels. Last
year requirements were 544,8OO,OOO
bushels and surplus 566,O0O,0OO. The
Hungarian estimates, though official, are
by no means the most trustworthy, but
they are interesting and are not unlike
ly to represent the facts in a general way,
more particularly in respect to the
reversal in the position of supply and
demand since last year.

Game of the Good Donkey.

All the children stand in a half cir
Gle except two, who stand in the center
Of the group. One Of these is the mas
ter and the other is the donkey.
The two have the following conversa-
ton:
Master-Where vast thou, oh, DON
key, where?
Donkey-In the mill. SO fine and fair.
Master-And what didst thou in the
mill?
Donkey-Carried full bags with a
will.
Master-Pray what did those bags
contain?
Donkey-Books, with printing large
and plain.
Master-Donkey. what did the print
ing show?
Donkey - Beautiful songs I'd have
you know.
Master = Quickly, donkey, sing US
one!
Donkey-Oh, lear master, l know
none!
Then the master says the rest:
run and get my biggest whip"
And the donkey says:
"Ah, l guess it's time to skip"
And off he runs with all the rest
after him. The one who catches him
takes his turn as master, and the one
who remains farthest behind in the
race becomes the donkey.

President JOHN MCCALL, of the New
York life insurance company, says that
he thanks God that by contributing to
the republican party he helped to save
country from free silver. If the testi-
mony proves anything it proves that the
insurance magnates were more afraid of
criminal prosecution than they were for
free silver. They knew they were guilty
of fraud, bribery of legislatures, corrup-
ton of politics and misuse of trust funds
and they felt safer under a republican
administration.

The black bird Is becoming a pest in
North Dakota. They congregate in
thousands along the water courses and
feed on the grain fields, where the hocks
blacken the air when they fly. Each
bird Will easily consume during a season
a peck of grain and they are not par
ticular how they get it. The destruc-
ton ofithe blackbirds would mean the

II is good to learn that North Dakota
has Jared we'll in the awarding of prizes
at the Portland fair and more than a
passing interest will be felt in learning
that ]. D. Gordon, who until a few years
ago lived at Walhalla, and is we'll
known by nearly all Of the older resi-
dents of this county, took the premiums
and some of them championship awards
in the exhibit of Clyde horses at the
Lewis and Clarke exposition held at
Portland, Ore. this summer. Mr.. Gordon
removed to Oregon less than a year ago
and went into raising horses and cattle
on an extensive scale, taking along with
him from North Dakota a number of
tine mares and a thoroughbred ClydeS-
dale stallion. making an entry of mares
and horses of the Clyde bred at the
stock show at Portland during the fair.
The Portland Oregonian in speaking of
the awards says: Local horses. too,
showed up we'll. In the Clydesdale
class. senior and reserve senior cham
plonshlp and grand championship were
awarded to animals entered by J.. D.
Gordon. of Dundee, Ore"
These prizes are more to be coveted
than cash, although there was cash with
them. but the lame o having such stock
is more to be priced by horsemen than
money. Mr.. Gordon says one of the best
of these animals was a Clyde mare bred
by him at Walhalla, and brought him,
beside the name, over $50 in cash. BY
the way Dave Ireland, an old resident of
Fremont township, had charge of this
exhibit. 1t is too bad that more of our
farme RS do not think it would pay to 60
in for good, thoroughbred stock-cattle
as we'll as horses. Mr.. Gordon also men
tons a hog which is on exhibition al the
fair that weighs something over 1900
pounds.
