H0Ff CAUSES. UMEASIKESS

Quite a lot of discussion has been
started since the report has gained
circulation as to what the move on
the part of Townsite Owner Hof1
of Palermo means since it has be-
come known he has purchased land
for a townsite where the Stanley
branch leaves the main line and but
about two and one-hulf miles north
of Stanley. Some think that Palermo
will be moved body and breeches to
the new location while others think
that this will be the coming county
seat At any rate it means trouble
for Stanley if Bro. Hoff can turn the
trick as he has never been reconcied
to Stanley as the county seat of this
county-White Earth Record.

Math Poos, until a day or so ago,
soavanger of the city of Minot, has
gotten into a peck of trouble, all on
account of his butting in proclivities.
Math was cleaning the refuse from the
alley back of Mrs. Dena Helgeson's
millinery store, and CHANGED to And
several boxes Of hats and other mil
linery, which Mrs. Helgeson had just
received from the east, but which she
had not yet time to unpack. She in
formed Poos that the boxes contained
freight, but he did not seem to under
stand, and when she was away, loaded
them onto his wagon and hauled them
to the dump. Up to this writing Mrs.
Helgeson has not been able to find
her millinery and it is supposed that
It has been burned. She will no doubt
take some action against Poos, as her
loss is considerable.

Furricr Locates Here

Minot is indeed to be congratulated
upon the addition to our line of bust
ness, that of an up-to-date furrier, E.
Sander, of St. Paul, who has opened
modern fur house at 107 Reishus
street, between First and Second
streets. Mr.. Sander has followed
this business for the past twenty-five
years, and for the past ten years, has
been connected with the we'll known
furrier, E. Albrecht & Son of st. Paul.
In consequence, he brings to NIinot, an
equipment fully as good as that of the
famous St. Paul house, and will be
able to manufacture furs Of all kinds
here, just as we'll as they can be
made in the larger cities. Mr..
Sanders territory will be practically
the entire state and it is certain that
his business will be very successful
here. Already it has increased so fast
that he has been compelled to secure
an assistant.

Board of Trade Men Determined to
Rob the Grain Growers

A conversation was overheard re-
Gently in the Chicago office Of Jim
Patten, the great wheat gambler, in
which the speaker declared that all
movements of the farmers to market
their products without the aid of the
boards of trade must be suppressed,
That tine farmers did not know enough
to market their crops, and besides the
prices were governed BY the worlds
markets, the board of trade would see
20 i. that the reports sent out regard
ing the crops would be most fattering
and the prices for grain would be
ED down until the producers sold
out. !. w.
The news in the press confirms this,
already it is given out that North Da-
kota and The rest of the spring wheat
states have bumper crops, the price
of wheat and other grains have been
marked down. The plan of the Amer
lean Society Of FATTY must be carried
out if thu -. . IS expect fair price

Forks, "last year l tried the expert

at home until after the rush was over.
This gave me time to get my fall work
done. My neighbors who hurried their

money on the crop by waiting, and

This is the plan of the society, hold

needed, by so doing you can secure
the prices fixed by the Fargo conven-
ton.

Price None Too High

Wheat during the past ten days has
taken quite drop, selling around the
"a cent mark. Elevator men say that
it is likely to go up later on, tho as
long as the fall rush Is on, it is not
likely to advance. The farmers WIG
are prepared to hold their grain are
doing so, and think they will profit by
it. Last year at this time wheat was
selling for around ninety cents. r

THE YEAR IN REVIEW.
A Tremendous Increase i'm the
Production Of Cereals in
the State.

The review of the progress OF South
Dakota for 1908, compiled by the cen.
SOS division Of the Department of HE
tory, presents conditions which may
well excite feelings OF pride and enthu.
siasm in the breast of every resident OF
the state.
The years production from the soil
vastly exceeded those OF any previous
season, more than one hundred eighty
FIVE million dollars being the local
market value OF the seasons output,
about $l6o, 100000 being the highest
Previous Ggure. Crops have been uni
formly good and prices excellent, Civ.
Ing to the thrifty husbandman more
than ordinary returns for his toll.
The produce sold in the markets ont
side the state from the crop of 1908 has
returned to us more than ninety-eight
million dollars, and if the gold produc-
ton be added to this, the total sum
coming into the state for the year
exceeds one hundred five million.
The tables OF productions and mar.
ketIngs revealed in the review should
be carefully studied by every one aud
given the widest Publicity. We print
them herewith the productions were
as follows:

Tho Wonderful Aphi..

The aphis is In one way the most
startling Of all forms of insect life,
Tor, although the females can and do
lay eggs, its usual method Of increase
Is by sort Of budding process, the
young growing on the bodies OF the
parent exactly as brussels sprouts
grow out Of the stalks Of the plant
The old produce young at the rate of
twenty-five day. and as the young
are ut once mature each can produce
its twenty-five on the following day.
1t positively frightens one to work
this multiplication out to conclu-
sion, for 1t means this: Supposing that
the aphide could increase and multiply
without interference, the twenty-fifth
generation would be a number too long
to quote here. Put down a / and fol-
low 1t with % naughts and you will
be within few millions Of 1t.
