] n PUZZLE IN THE BUSINESS
WORLD. ~.

The board of trade members at
Minneapolis and Duluth are puzzled
this year, as to the failure of wheat
to accumulate i'm the terminal mar
kets speakingspf this anomalous
condition in the grain trade the
Minneapolis Market Record says: Il
Consumption, large as it may be,
cannot have done away with this inn
mense amount of wheat yet in51sitsF
relation to the wheat market 1t has
passed from sight. Even the by-pro-'
ducts of -four, the production Of
which has been on a big scale this
season as all the mills have been busy
turning ont flour, have failed to ac-
Ecumulate as prices have ranged upon
high level so far this season and
sales are now being made for future
delivery at quotations which suggest
/ a further advance rather than a de-
cline. Millers of -four and sellers
Of mill feed have had active sales in
large lines for three months and in
their branches of the grain trade
there is likewise no increase in the
visible supply. The same situation
is seen in Europe as in America, and
the question arises what has become
of the wheat and -four? The board
Of trade people are prone to believe
that consumption has not "digested
this movement" 7" but such statistic
ians as J. J. HilY seem to believe that
consumption has increased to such an
extent that it is close upon the heels
OF production Of wheat, and that the
worlds supply of wheat for the
worlds population now no longer
produces an actual surplus. With
general prosperity and increased abil-
ity to buy, the consuming classes Of
the world have increased SO far as to
explain the peculiar situation now ex-
listing in the wheat and -four trade.
1t all points to higher levels for the
prices of land and to 3 better system
OF farming whereby more yield per
acre will be had on the present acre
age. The outlook for both wheat and
land prices for the northwest farmer
was never better. The outlook for
increased cost of living is also ahead.

JAMESTOWN DAKOTA, THURSDAY DEcEMBER2
MILWAUKEE IN MONTANA COAL
'aiagMz FIELDS. i-z

Aberdeen News.-The telegraph
dispatches announce that men inter-
ested in the Milwaukee railroad have
purchased $4,000 acres of land near
Columbus, Montana. 1t will be re-
membered that Governor Charles S.
Deneen, of Illinois, Harry Hunter, J.
@. Adams and other prominent men
passed through Aberdeen a few
weeks ago, en- route to Columbus, and
presumably the announcement of the
purchase of the tract is a conse-
quence of their trip. The state
ment is also made that the Milwau-
kee interests have purchased large
tract Of coal land in the Red Lodge,
Mont, coal field. The Red Lodge
fields are within sixty or seventy
miles of the Yellowstone National
Park. Columbus is about the same
distance from the park, and a COM
paratively easy route extends from
that town to the great national beau
ty spot. Purchases of the coal lands
and of the 900 acres at Columbus
is taken to mean that the Milwaukee
will extend from Roundup or Har-
-lowton, Mont, to Columbus, and
thence to the park. In that event
Aberdonians, within a comparatively
short time, will be able to get on the
cars at Aberdeen and be carried di-
rect to the park in the shortest pos
sible time, without change Of cars.
Incidentally, also, the entrance of
the Milwaukee into the coal fields at
Roundup and Red Lodge ought in
time to give Aberdeen cheaper coal.

FLOODS AND MANY
D|SCOMFORTS
What Tacoma and Other Towns Have
Been Enduring Recently. Not all
al a Rosy Prospect. -

A recent copy of the Tacoma News
has reached resident of Jamestown
giving a picture that is not all rose
colored, of conditions on that sound.
Several former Jamestownites who
have removed to the sound cities
must have become "web-footed" by
this time, and wish themselves back
in the country where they can go
dry-shod under foot, and not have to
go without seeing the sun in the
heavens for six months at a time.
The paper referred to tells of contin-
ual rains, floods and destruction of
property, land-slides and other dam
aging occurrences. One night recently
Tacoma was in darkness and faced
food conditions of a serious nature,
warm rains melted mountain SHOWS
and they ran down to the sea in tor
rents. A repletion of the great flood
of two years ag6 was threatened,
when the whole valley was drowned
out, and railroad traffic shut off for
days. Wires were down, steel rail-
roads blocked, Puyallup was in dark
ness and whole sections around the
outskirts of Tacoma were great lakes,
cellars flooded and furnace fires put
out. The rainfall for November was
already, at that time, nearly 9 inches,
cS,, mr.
Railroad grades suffered great dam
age. 8. High water caused cleo
trio light poles to fall and workmen
were wading waist deep to keep the
poles above water SO that light could
be furnished. Evidently there are
some disadvantages, that North Da-
kotans do not all hear about, that
happen In the sound country.

Der, one OIL Cu0 4uSSCAOuS W w Ill o0A
ed out will und btedly be the revis-
i ion Of the pure food laws to meet the
demands of the general body Of con-
sumers for still further improve
sments In the methods in vogue in
many food factories.
One of the points overlooked In
the original act was the treatment of
\ peaches and apricots in canning:
plants. It Is the practice of many
canneries to immersei peaches in5 a
( boiling solution Of caustic soda and
allow the fruit to stew in this chem
ical lsuntil the skins Of the fruit are
eaten loose. The fruit is then put
through several washings until the
skins are washed away. This pro-
cess is about cent and q half or
two cents cheaper than peeling by
knife. Those who are calling attent-
ion to this chemical treatment say
that the use Of the I've is not the
worst feature OF the process, but
contend that in order to use this
cheap peeling process it is necessary
to use green and unripe fruit for can
ming. Ripe fruit will not stand the
( lye-process but becomes discolored
and disintegrated in the caustic soda.
The little flavor which the unripe
peaches have is killed by the lye
treatment SO that the result is q
woody, tasteless canned peach which
depends for flavor on the syrup
which is added in the canning pro-
3 cess,
The way ito tell lye-peeled peach
] is toy wash away the syrup and then
taste the fruit. If it is tasteless and
pulpy the chances are 1t is lye-peel-
ed peach. 1
In the several washings to which
the peach is subjected after it is
peeled by I've. most lof the chemical
lis undoubtedly washed away but It
any ofs it is> left the consumer gets
It with his fruit. . .i.,5 II
Congress did not mention this sub
ject in the pure food laws, conse-
4 guently the Gamers who use this
method are not compelled to state
the fact on their labels. The pres
ent agitation has for ats purpose the
enactment of measure to remedy
this defect.
If this movement proves success
full every Gamer will have to state on
his label if the peaches we're peeled
BY caustic soda or any other chemt-
cal. That of course will put the
question right. up to the consumer.
If they would as soon eat fruit which
has been soaked in lye they can do so.
B Many Of course will prefer to have
their fruit handled in the good old
fashioned kitchen way, by knife-peel-
ing, which also means much for the
I quality Of canned fruit by keeping
intact the original fruit flavor.
The last two years have seen a
4 great advance in the methods used
In various canneries and with the
new law still further advance in the
direction of wholesome production
will be assured. When the processes
\ employed in canneries are known to

BUSINESS OFFER
MADE n. D. ] FARMERS
A Large Terminal Elevator Company
Offers Fine Facilities for stor-
age and Handling of Grain.

AS requested by H. o. Brown,
State Grain Commissioner of North
Dakota, with office at 61O Corn Ex-
change, Minneapolis, the following
item Of news is given publication:
Dear Brother Farmers, and Grain
Growers, of the state Of North Da-
kota: In order that the grain grow
ers,, Independent shippers and farm
er's elevator companies of North Da-
fotas might ,.pow exactly the rusi-
ness conditiol.s. they would he re.
quired to meet. when they have con:-
pleted their proposed Terminal Co
Operative Commission Company. and
in order to secure satisfactory termi-
nal facilities: foi handling their bus
mess, our State Grain Commis sioner.
Fl. o. Brown, whose headquarters arc
at Minneapolis, Mimi, was recently
handed, the following business offer,
by one of the leading Terminal eleva-
tor companies of Minneapolis, Mimi:
They will receive, elevate, store
and reload out into cars, for delivery
to the milling trade, or for export,
for an annual storage of Sc. per bu.
The will furnish storage bins,
ranging in capacity, from one huE-
drcd jthousand, to one hundred and
twenty-five thousand bushels eac;.,
and to the amount of one half mil
lion bushels or more.
You will be an.e to secure advanc'
es of money, o,l all grain, SO stored
with them, or on Terminal ware
house receipts, as high as 80 per
cent of the actual cash value Of all
grain.
For example, if you store one nun
dred thousand bushels of :whear. and
the price was 1.15c per bushe], you
can secure an advance of $1O3,5O0,
which will enable you to ho!t your
grain until the market was satisfact-
ory to sell.
The rate of interest you would be
charged as company, handling your
own business here, would be four and
one-half per cent, AZ per cent, an

No insurance is necessary, as the
Terminal Elevator, is absolutely fire
proof. Mr.. Brown believes this in
formation, is directly in line with the
immediate requirements of the grain
growers and shippers of the state of
North Dakota, and for the general
welfare, and advancement of the
highest agricultural interest of his
state.

JONES DENIED NEW TRIAL.
Judge Memminger Holds that His
Conviction Was Regular and
Gives Him Life Sentence.

Union, February 12.-Jndge Mem
minger, ait 4.3O o 'clock this afternoon,
refused the motion for a new trial in
the case Of the State VS.. W. 7. Jones,
and sentenced Jones to the peniten-
tiary for life.
The Judges decision came after he
had listened for hours to an elabor-
ate, forceful and eloquent argument
from Col. George Johnstone, Of New
berry, of counsel for the defendant.
The motion was taken up about 1920
O'Clock this morning, civil business
being temporarily adjourned for that
purpose and from that hour till 4.3C
this afternoon with the exception of
an hours recess for dinner, Col. john
stone pleaded for a new trial for his
client, basing his argument on objec-
tions to the form of the indictment,
alleged errors of the judge IN his rul-
ings on testimony and charge to the
jury. and upon affidavI;s from several
parties who swore THAT several Of the
jurors. before they were drawn on the
jury. had expressed opinions hostile
to the defendant. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Johnstone s address, the judge,
in a few words, stated that he was
satisfied that the defendant had had
a fair trial; that the jurors were hon
est and impartial in their verdict; !;
that no error Of law prejudicial to the
defendant had been committed, and
that. therefore, he could net grant a
new trial.
When Jones Was called upon and
asked what he had to say, why SEN
tence should not be passed upon lin,
he replied, "Nothing, except am in
nccent.' Judge Memminger then, III
a brief address, admonished Jones to
give up all hope Of new trial and TO
turn to the consultations OF religion
and to so conduct himself that from
another source more merciful treat
ment might be extended to him. Fol-
lowing these remarks, the sentence Of
the law was pronounced, and Jones
was remanded ito Jail. Thus ends for
the present. at least, one of the most
notable cases in the history of ju1ls-
prudence in this State. That Jones
will fight to the bitter end he has al
ready announced.

DIXIE" !"
It is Mot Impossible that it will Be-
come the National Anthem.

Washington Times.
"Dixie" is one of the tunes this
newspaper likes. It is a tune you can
pat time to. From St. lgnace to New
Orleans the whole country cheers it
North as we'll as South, Brahmin New
England and slab-sided Rawhide
alike. Moreover, it is not ait all I'M
possible that "Dixie' is to be the
real national anthem.
This latest controversy has given
the air new life. Nobody knows just
what it was that declared the song
treasonable. Southern newspapers
say it was Chicago Chicago says it
doesn't know anything about it. But
the charge got into print, somebody
resrurected an anecdote showing that
Lincoln liked to hear it, every theatre
orchestra in the country IS awakening
audiences to applaud with it, (no mat
ter whether the play being acted does
or not,) and the outlook is THAT it will
divide next Fridays observances with
the great Liberator himself. After
that "Dixie' will have the right OF
