The only weapon in sight was a rifle
carried by one of the band securely
strapped to his person so it should
not get lost in cast of an encounter
with some wild beast. In. case of
immediate need of the weapon same
could be got unstrapped and the diff
ferent ropes holding it in place un-
tied in perhaps something like an
hours time. The next day, last
Tuesday, gentleman drove down in
"a buggy and overlook the band at
Beverly, from where he, single-hani-
ed, captured the entire band and
brought them back, passing through
SMYRNA on their way east.

NEW FARMERS GRAIN COMPANY
Ranchers Will Build $1,000 Ware
house at Adrian.

Ephrata, May Evidence of the
abundant faith of the ranchers of
central Grant county in the future of
the farming industry, notwithstand-
ing the partial failure of the last
crop, is seen in the increased activity
of the farmers on High hill and Dry
coulee, comprising 5000 acres north
east of Ephrata, and in the fact that
today they incorporated under the
name of the Dry Coulee Union Grain
company. d. T. Cross of Ephrata
acted as attorney and prepared the
papers. The officers are: Claude
Foray, president; A. D. Pugh. vice
president; Thomas Simmons, secre-
tary and treasurer. The officers, J..
w. Wood and l. L. Slayton are the
directors
The capitalization is $4,000 and it
is the intention of the company to
erect a warehouse at Adrian, where
the Washington Central branch of
the Northern Pacific meets the Great
Northern. The building will cost
$4,000.
Heretofore the lands Of High hill
and Dry coulee have been tributary
to warehouses of Ephrata and STRAIT
ford. The soil is good, the acreage
large and the farmers thrifty and
energetic.

Suicide Rate Grows Rapidly:
Grave Threat to the Country

New York, Nov 6.-Suicide mortality
statistics, compiled here show that the
increase in the rate OF self-destruction
over the increase in population has be
come so alarming as to attract serious
notice throughout the country. From
east to west, north to south, there has
been a general increase, and in nearly
every city of sixty-five of the nations
representative municipalities the fig
ures show that the rate has grown
larger.
The rate of increase of suicides per
100000 of population was probably the
least alarming in Chicago. For 1905
the pro rata increase was Ill. Only
four other cities, all of them much
smaller, showed a smaller increase
than the Illinois metropolis. The
increase in Oakland, Cal, was the
highest. with 1876 while the lowest was
OIL in Buffalo. N. Y. Several smaller
cities in the list showed decrease in
the rate of from l to 2 per cent.
Chicagos total of suicides during
1903 was 500. This was at rate OF
$50 per 100000 population. For the
decade ending 1907 the total was 4.O3l
| or at the rate of 21.9.
The increase in the suicide rate has
been most alarming in the West. Witt

there is little doubt left that suicides
are indeed, on the increase. The rate
for 1908 was higher than for any pre-
vious year. Against the rate of 1873
for 1907 the rate for 1908 was 21S, or
higher by one point than the excep-
tionally high rate Of POT for 1904 The
increase for 1908 was three persons in
every 10000 over the rate for 1907.
The increase in the actual number of
suicides was 60. or 1875 per cent. The
corresponding increase OF population
during the same time was only 2.3 per
cent
The increase in rate was practically
general, although not uniform,
throughout the country. The figures
also show that the degree of suicidal
frequency is lowest in the small cities
and higest in the large cities.
