CHURCH H-DOMINATED TOWNS
MAKE DEPLORABLE SHOWING

The foregoing figures taking account
Of the subdivisions in Utah indicate
one thing that stands out boldly before
the rest. That one thing is that the
counties and towns dominated by the
Mormon church are deplorably behind
These counties and towns do not even
hold their own in the natural increase,
much less do they show an advance by
reason Of any industrial enterprises or
general expansion. The most startling
example of this condition is found in
Sanpcte county, county so thoroughly
dominated by the Mormon church that
an inhabitant scarce dare breathe with
out first having had "hands laid on'
by his bishop.
In Manti, where is one of the temples
of the Mormon church, the increase for
the ten years was only fourteen souls.
,, Manti, as is known Of all men, is in the
heart Of as rich land as is TO be
found on God g earth. II is land that
is capable of the highest degree of de-
velopment, vet what has been done by
the Mormons in the line of this de"
velopment? Nothing; absolutely moth
ING. Manti, at the least calculation,
should have come into the 1910 census
with 5000.
American Spirit Needed.
One day the spirit OF American prog
rcss may hit that unsurpassed and un-
equalIed region and then the section
will come into the estate which is right
fully its own. So long as the Mormon
church holds absolute and uuquestioned
sway, however, there Is nc hope. lt
is characteristic Of the Mormon priest
hood that whatever spells advancement
is a thing by them to be summed.
Manti is not the only community
that has made absolutely no progress
during the last ten years. There IS
its nejghbor, Moroni. as deadly Nor
mon stronghold as it's name indicates.
At MoroDi the total increase for ten
years was a beggarly 10. The same
applies to other neighbors of Manti,
Mt. Pleasant and Ephralm.
Joseph, IN Sewer county, lies In as
beautiful a section as can be found.
Yet. so far from taking advantage or
these endowments. the Mormons have
permitted their policy Of retrogresslon
to obtain with the result that Joseph's
population shows decrease.
In Shadow of Temple,
ST George, in Washington coun-
ty, another region whose fertility can
not be doubted, and whore immeasur-
able strides forward should have been
noted, comes out of the gloomy shadow
of it's temple with the pitiable increase
of 16i. In Utah county the commu-
mites where Mormon policies are close
" followed, the increases arc not
worthy the name With all the wealth
that the frultgrowing sections of Utah
county hold, it cannot he denied that
must be radically wrong
when the census return for Utah coun-
ty communities are studied.
In some of the Mormon ridden coun-
Ties there have been decreases for the
entire county This is condition

tailed account OF the case. Judge Rell-
stab became convinced that grave con-

that the writ OF habeas corpus should

HENNESSY TALKS ON
CROP SITUATION
SAYS CALAMITY is NOT AS GREAT
As is FEARED At FIRST

viii Result in Some Good Being Done
by Farmers in the Future-FaIIing
or of $80,o00,000.

ut is the opinion of men who have
made CAREFUL study of the crop sit.
uation that there has been falling
of of not less than 225, 900 900 bushels
in the amount of wheat in sight in
the last forty or fifty days." says w.
B. Hennessy, who returned yesterday
from trip through the Dakotas and
Minnesota. But the fact does not in
dictate a calamity or anything like it.
The failure is spread over large
tract Of country and the loss Of even
quarter of a billion dollars from the
produced wealth of this country in a
single year is not calculated to affect
the tremendous and substantial pros.
perity of the country as a whole
and it may be added that the wheat
failure applies to the continent, not
to the United States alone.
ut does not relieve the situation a
bit for the poor fellow who has staked
his all on a wheat crop that is burn
ed up to know that his loss is not
going to interfere with the progress
or business of the country, but this
sort of thing is to be reckoned with
broadly. This is no longer a one-crop
country Ten years ago such falling
off in the wheat crop of North Da-
kota as is now indicated would spell
calamity. Now it means-for the
whole body of the people-the disap-
pearance for the time being of surplus
spending money. There will, for in
stance, be some falling off in the
amount of money spent for automo
biles during the next twelve months.
1.-The small grain crops have been
hit hard in a territory that may be
broadly described as reaching from
the Wisconsin boundary of Mime
sofa to Calgary. and nearly five hum
dred miles wide. In this enormous
tract of country there are vast areas
where local rains or conditions of
tillage will produce crops but little
below the normal, but the entire tract
is embraced in the spread of the
failure. There is no use denying the
fact that North Dakota is hit hard
everywhere east of the Missouri riv-
err. There were approximately 7,0OO,-
900 acres put into wheat in this state
this year. 1t may be safely estimat-
ed that one-half of this total is wiped
out, that nothing would save any OF
it. OF the remaining half, there is
hope of, say, half crop, yielding
total.o of twenty, or at the most, twen-
ty-fve million bushels.
THAT means that the produced
wealth of the state will fall off pretty
near eighty million dollars this year
That sounds like a stiff jolt until one
stops to consider that it is only about
one-fifth of the total wealth created
in this state every year. The new
wheat country to the west of the Mis-

souri, is going to help keep up the
average amazingly and there is a very
respectable amount of money lying by
to the credit of the farmers of the
state-more millions than there were
hundreds Of thousands ten or eleven
years ago. And the sufferers this
year are simply paying for the ex-
perience that will make them indie
pendent of weather conditions in the
future. Mixed farming and improved
methods of cultivation will, next
year, save more to the farmers of
North Dakota than they will stand to
lose this year.
And the fact should not be lost
sight of that the failure is essentially
localized. The average contribution
to the produced wealth of the country
will fall off but little, and the United
States is undisturbed in it's great pros
perity. The money centers are SER
enc, the buying power of the urban
masses is expanding and the country
is in a position to sustain much
more serious loss than is threatened.
Altogether it rather a disappointment
to us to observe what very insigniti-
cant matter the disappearance of
more than two hundred millions of
bushels of wheat from the food sup
ply is to the rest Of the country. 1t
demonstrates the tremendous and va
ried resources of the country"

MAN PICKED UP BY LOCAL
POLICE WANTED IN
MISSOURI
Han Been Annoying Women and
Young Ladies on the Streets and
was Adjudged Insane.

Frank Ferron, who. was arrested a
short time ago by Chief Mcdonald
and Patrolman Martineson in his
room at the Dakota block, was ad-
judged insane Thursday morning by
the insanity board.
It was learned that Ferron is an
escaped lunatic from the insane asy-
lum at St. Joseph, Mo. He will be
held here until the authorities at St.
Joseph advise the local officials what
to do with him. In all probability at
tendants will be sent to the city tc
take him back.
Ferron worked in the city for a
while for J. O. Varney, contractor, and
roomed at the Dakota block. He made
a practice of following up women and
girls on the streets at night and an
noying them with his attentions. He
also caused considerable trouble at
the roomi1g house. The arrest was
made at the complaint Of several Ia
dies of the city. An effort was made
at the time to connect him with the
petty robberies that occurred a week
or two ago, but it proved to be with.

ing their every effort to locate Mrs.
Hango. Assuming that she has gone
west the police officials were notified
at Tacoma, Seattle, Portland and San
Francisco to be on the watch for her.
In case she is found she will be held
on the charge of kidnapping, as the
children are just as much Mr.. Han
COS as they are hers, and the hus-
band wants possession of them.
Thursday afternoon Sheriff McGil-
lis received wire from the authori-
ties at San Francisco, asking on
what charge they should arrest the
woman. The were advised to hold
her on charge of kidnapping. Whetn-
er they had any clue as to her
whereabouts was not ascertained at
late hour last night, as they had
not at that time replied to Sheriff Nc
ellis telegram.
Mr.. Hango is well known farmer
Of Burleigh county. He has been fair
ly we'll to do, although poor crops last
year and the present prospect has
made the outlook a little discourage
ing.
The following is the description Of
the missing parties:
She is of light complexion. gray
eyes, % years Of age, weighs 40
pounds, wears light brown wig. front
teeth not set close Has with her,
two children, boy S years old, girl
2 years old, both light complexioned.
May be in company with William
Pudas, who is foot inches in height
and has large blue eyes, light COM
plexion, peculiar growth on one ear.

Lydia Hango, wife of Mr.. Hango, q
prosperous farmer residing near Nc.
Kenzie, N. D., is supposed to have
eIoped with one William Pudas, who
was formerly in Mr.. Hango's employ.
She has taken her two children with
her.
Mrs. Hango left Mckenzie on Sat-
urday, July 2, with her two children,
a boy five years old, and a little girl
two years old, ostensibly to visit with
a sister who resides at Casselton,
and to take in the big Fourth of July
celebration at the latter place.
It has been learned that she never
showed up at the home of her sister,
and neither the husband or sister
have heard a word from her since
that time.
She registered at one OF the hotels
at Casselton under her correct name,
Mrs. Lydia Hango and two children.
A man answering the description Of
Pudas was also registered at the no.
tel under the name of Peterson. In
quiry developed the fact that wo-
man and two children purchased tick
cts from CasseltOn to Seattle over the
Great Northern line, and that a man
answering the description of Pudas
purchased ticket to Seattle over the
Northern Pacific on the same day.
1t has been surmised that the couple
separated for the purpose OF throwing
would-be pursuers off the scent, and
that they may possibly unite when
they reach the coast.
The Burleigh county authorities
were notified of the case and are us.

I'VE do not want to wait two
