ital invested, $500; making al
total of $11.35. At the average
price of 65c per bushel the av-
erage crop of 20 bu. per acre
would bring $1,000 to the farmer,
which would leave a profit of
$1.65 per acre or as Mr.. Cooke
estimated a profit of 8tc per bu.
However it must be rem embered
that Mr.. Cooke did not take in
the items Of reseeding in case
of freeze outs, taxes or necess-
airy repairs to fences. Such test
imony as Mr.. Cookies went on
to show to the commission that
the real profit of the wheat grow
er was not large and did not
make a great showing unless the
farmer happened to have an ex-
tensive crop. The commission
expects to use the data when
they look further into the matter
of railroad freight rates later on.
! However, Commissioner Aitche-
son while in the city said that in
! all probability a reduction would
be made on the Condor branch
and the main line.

been corresponding with Pres.

College on the proposition OF To-
eating an experimental dry farm
in this county. Such interest in
a good cause has seldom been
displayed before and the people
who had gathered lost no time in
getting into action.

A NOTEWORTHY DEED
Faithful and Efficient Officer
Distinguishes Himself by
PralseWorthy Act.
NOTEWORTHY. DEED

Z For two weeks past the residents
Of Glen Elk and vicinity have been
terorrized by the depredations of a
daring burglar and thief. Within
that time much valuable property has
been stolen and made way with. on
Thursday night a saddle and blanket
we're stolen from Charles T. Leach
man. On the same night the mar
auder went through the Fuel, city
hotel, taking underwear and cloth
Ing. Also he carried OF from the
Delson house stable a saddle and
bride. ON Friday he made a
stealthy raid upon the Home hotel,
stealihg.a $4,000 suit of clothes, hat,
shoes and other articles OF clothing.
The condition of things was becom-
ing alarming. No household or home
seems secure from this bold robber.
1T was to the faithfulness, sagaclty
and efficiency Of Police oficer Harry
L. Brooks. that this dangerous GRIM
inal was stopped in his guilty career,
and the citizens Of Glen Elk relieved
from his further incursions and law
lessness. Mr.. Brooks's attention
was directed to a stranger, who was
offering and selling valuable articles
for trlfing sums. Following this
clue and working quietly, Mr..
Brooks soon had evidence sufficient
TO justify him in arresting the man
who is undoubtedly the individual
that had committed the robberies. On
his person was found some of the
clothing that had been stolen. He
gave probably an assumed name.
15e seems to be constituencies
and desperate robber and thief,
whose crimes strike at the se-
curity of home life itself. Mr..
Brooks's Intelligence and efficiency in
successfully rounding up this outlaw,
should receive the appreciation and
commendation which they so richly
deserve.
