The Wheat Future.

Even if it be true that the pres
ent wheat crop in this state is a
light one, the current prices Of that
crop, if they maintain until the
crop is marketed, will enable the
farmers torealize fair returns from
their harvests. The Times has
taken occasion before to call atten-
tion to the fact that it IS not so
much the size of the. crop produced
as il is the size Of the price realized
that makes the farmers profit. We

twenty if when the increased pro.
duction comes he receives but half
the price per bushel for his crop
than he received before? What
has he gained by his application
of intensified farming, except that
he need own but half the former
acreage? But if while producing
two bushels where before he pro-
duced but one, he has so handled
the market for this commodity that
he receives twice the price he
received before he is indeed the
gamer.
The methods by which this can
be accomplished are not to be
pointed out in single article.
They have received the earnest
attention Of thinkers and agricul-
tural economists for years. When
the producers of farm products
reach a point where they can, by a
combination among themselves,
regulate the supply of such prod
ucts. they can at the same time
regulate the price. The principle
is the academic one of supply aud
demand.
During the last few weeks SO
called experts have inspected the
wheat fields of North Dakota and
have fixed the price of the COM
modify of the farmers by what
they can make the spectators
believe is the possible supply. Or
to state the proposition otherwise,
they have sold the products of the
fields which they do not own, at
a price fixed-not by the owners
of the fields-but by those specula-
tors, and in few days they will,
in spirit if not in letter, say to
these same farmers, ''you must
sell your wheat at a price which
will enable us to deliver it to those
to whom we sold it without your
consent so that we can secure a
large margin for profit"
Months ago the American Soci-
ETY. of Equity, which has come
nearer solving the price problem
of farm products than any other
organization, stated that it had
enough wheat pledged to bring the
price up to a dollar a bushel, and
yesterday both September and
December wheat passed the dollar
point. The condition of the crop
at this time compared with the
condition in former years would
seem to warrant this price. SO that
behind it all is the fear of the
speculators that probably the
American Society of Equity will
be able to hold a portion Of the
crop out of the market SO that the
demand for wheat will send the
price beyond what it otherwise
would have reached. ~ Evening

Blood on the Moon IN Turtle Lake.
Turtle Lake, N. D., Aug. IL
There's blood on the moon in Tur-
tie Lake newspaperdom. There's
trouble in the Office Of the Repub-
lican, according to the Turtle Lake
Wave, and the Wave pours vinegar
on the wounds of the belligerent
push that has shaped the destinies
Of the Republican. It seems that
the Republican management or
mismanagement, as the Wave looks
at it, has been having trouble with
the practical printer, LeCount, who
sets the type and operates the press
for the Turtle Lake rag of freedom
belonging to Billows, ct al. The
result has been lockout as we'll
as a lookup, and no paper issued
on regular issue day for couple
of weeks or more. And it seems
that Billows secured the services
of Fred Kehrer of Denhoff, whom
the Wave alludes to graphically, if
not endearingly, as 'the gopher
faced idiot generally known as
Fred Kehrer." 1t appears that
Kehrer who, by the way, is about
to move his German paper, the
Zietung, down to Washburn, an
swered the call of distress made by
Billows as a fellow publisher, and
.hied himself to Turtle Lake, where
he did a stunt familiar to all old
prints who are up against an issue
with an empty pocket and 9. O. D.
''inwards' in the express office.
Two "short" issues were run off
in one day, and few subscribers
last week received the Republican
in litters like pups. In the mean
time, Billows is securing the
country for another slave. and the
Wave is roasting Kehrer for the
'sscab" stunt on the Republican,
and intimates that Kehrer won't
show up among Mclean county
printers any more.
Kehrer will probably come back
at his traducers in vigorous Dutch
and the end is not yet unless
it be the end of the Republican,
which the Wave said never did
have good reason for existence, the
maintenance Of which, for its
financial agents, was like pouring
water in a rat hole. Bismarck
Tribune.
+ We had supposed that after i.
B. Hanna & Co. Of Fargo had sent
up a printer to Turtle Lake to take
charge Of the Republican that
everything would run as smoothly
as q newly oiled, ball bearing, fric-
tionless manure spreader.
We never suspicioned for q min
ute that the noble sheet would
have to stop on account Of hot
axle or the bursting Of 9 dywheel.
Although Hanna .is said to be q
man Of large business affairs, it
appears that he forgot, in this
instance, to send q check along
with the printer, and said printer
got weary and returned. 81,
The future troubles Of this
sheet may be of the same
character.

Commissioner Mackey present
ed the following resolution and
moved its adoption.
Whereas in the opinion of this
board there is immediate demand
and need for better Office and
vault facilities for the use and ac-
comodation of the register of
deeds, county auditor and county
treasurer of Mclean county, North
Dakota, the present quarters be-
ing entirely inadequate and insult
ficient to meet present require
ments and it appearing that the
books and records of said Offices
cannot be safely and properly kept
and are in great danger of de-
struction and loss by fire, and that
the best interests of Mclean Co.
will be conserved by the erection
of suitable Office building for
said officers at the county seat of
said Mclean county.
Therefore be it resolved that it
is the sense of this board that such
an Office building be erected at
such future time as sufficient funds
therefore can be accumulated into
a county building fund to defray
the cost Of the erection and con-
struction of the same, as contem-
plated and provided for in section
2412 Of the revised codes Of North
Dakota, and
Be it further resolved that for
the purpose Of the erection Of q
suitable Office building for the reg
lister Of deeds, county auditor and
county treasurer Of Mclean coun-
ty seat Of said county, and for the
and erection Of such
other county buildings as may
hereafter be deemed necessary by
this board, a acounty building fund
be and the same is hereby created
and authorized, as provided for in
section 2412o the revised codes
Of North Dakota, and that the
county treasurer and county audi
tor Of Mclean county be and are
hereby authorized and directed to-
keep such fund and to transfer
thereinto such moneys as they
