FEAR A PRUNE
FAMINE
California Dried Fruit Supply About
Exhausted and Local Dealers Are
Anxfous-Prices Bound to Be High
This Summer Owing to Scarcity.

Apricots, peaches, prunes and dried
fruits of other varieties are certain to
be scarce articles this spring and sum-
mer and prices will be uo above the
normal considerable. This is owing
to the fact that the supply il Califor-
mia is completely exhausted and whole
salers are finding it very difficult to
secure even the filling of small Or
der. H. B. Finch of the Grand Forks
Mercantile company stated to The
Evening Times today that the reasons
for this condition is the unprecedented
demand abroad for the dried fruits of
the United States, Europe using large
quantities, and the amount used in the
states is increasing yearly until it has
reached enormous proportions. Cali.
fornia is the great fruit producing
state, particularly for the varieties
mentioned, and the supply there is ex.
hausted.
New fruit will not begin to arrive
until in June and the factories will be
busy putting up canned goods during
the season SO that it is expected that
all fruit, both fresh and preserved, will
be very high for the next six months

Grand Forks Not Out.
When seen this morning by The
Evening Times, Manager Stanchfield
of last years Grand Forks team said:
While It is to be regretted that the
team which l had together last year
could not have been kept intact by the
city of Grand Forks, would not like
to go on record as saying that Grand
Forks is out Of the Northern league.
While 1t will be hard or impossible to
get the old team together, there are
lots of good players and the city would
have no trouble in getting team and
a good one. The fact that I let the
old players go by default on March 1,
does not signify that Grand Forks can
not have a ball team. In fact, 1 am
inclined to think that as soon as the
weather warns Mp and the fans begin
to feet the fever coming on, that Grand
Forks will do as she has always done
get a team together and get into the
game. With the pluck which Presi-
dent Price has shown, he will proba-
bly, hold the league together, He can
hold Duluth and Superior and If they
go into the league its success is as
sured. The Northern league is a loag

At GAINESVILLE But New Ones Will Be
Built ut Devils Lake According to
Division Officials-Deyils Lake to Be
IL Railroad Center in Future.

The rumor current to the effect that
the GAINESVILLE shops of the Great
Northern are to be removed to Devils
Lake, is not confirmed by the officials
of the Dakota division. They have
heard nothing of removal of shops,
hut have positive knowledge that
shops are to be built at Devils Lake.
They do not believe that the removal
of the shops from GAINESVILLE is con-
templated or feasible. But Devils
Lake will have bran new shops. Many
miles Of new tracks are to be built
in the yards and as The Evening
Times exclusively announced short
time ago, Devils Lake is to be made
a town of new Importance on the
Great Northern system, owing to the
switching Of the fast through passen-
ger trains, three and four, and the fast
freights over the Aneta cut off. 1t
means a big boom for Devils Lake.

ceding the big food in the spring of
1897 there was about seven feet of
snow on the level. At present there
Ia hardly foot of snow on the level.
1t was pointed out by Manitobans in
Grand Forks during the drainage con-
vention that spring floods are never
caused by the breaking up and jam
ming of the ice in the Red north of
Winnipeg or along the course of the
river, SO that the only danger is
flom heavy snow storms during this
month, followed by rapid thaw.

Reports of heavy snow storm in

Edmore, was taken to Grafton last
week by his father, Knute Knuteson,
and his left leg was taken off at the
knee joint, at the Deaconess hospital,

The little fellow was not told what the
doctors We're going to do and the day
otter the operation he asked the nurse
where his leg was, saying he thought
1T was gone or bent up under him
The nurse deemed it best to tell him
and the brave little fellow smiled and
said: well, that is good, it won't
hurt me any more" The father said
he intended to give the boy a good
education and make up to him the loss
OF his leg in every way possible.
