Big OREGON FRUIT
SHIPMENT HERE
r. !. CLARK OF SALEM, ORE,
BRINGS CARLOAD OF LOGAN
BERRIES AND PRuNEs TO FAR
co.'s TO DISPOSE OF THEM TO
FARGO MERCHANTS.

| Fargo people are to have an opportu-
nifty to buy some excellent dried fruit
in few days If Fargo merchants get
busy and buy out the carload of dried
lLoganberries and home packed 1910
prunes which is being brought to this
city by t. j. Clark of Salem, Ore, one
of the big fruit men of that region.
| This is Mr.. Clark's first shipment to
Fargo though he has shipped to other
points in this state and to South Da-
kota as well Mr. Clark is famed as
the first successful evaporation of the
Loganberry, a fruit bred by Luther
Burbank and which jumped into i'm
mediate popularity. Prior to Mr.
Clark's successful experiment in dry
ing this fruit it had been found SO
costly that people would not buy it,
but he has been able by his methods to
evaporate 1t successfully and put it
on the market in competition with
other dried fruits
The Loganberry dried makes the
most lucious pies and is very economi-
cal to use; it cooks out with the natur-
al flavor unimpared and is being used
in tremendous quantities by bakeries
and hotels where the best sort OF pie
materials are demanded, as well as in
private homes. If Fargo dealers get
in and stock up with this dried fruit
we predict a great sale for it in this
section.
The prunes brought here by Mr..
Clark are all home packed and fresh
1910 stock. AS they cost no more than
old stock of uncertain age it would
seem that he will be able to find a
ready market in this city. There are
$4,000 pounds of dried Loganberries
and $4,000 pounds Of dried prunes of
the best quality in Mr.. Clark's ship
ment.
Mr.. Clark discourses very interest
ingly of conditions in the great fruit
country of Oregon and has had a
varied career in building up his large
fruit interests. When he first tried to
put the dried Loganberry on the mar
ket dealers refused to believe that a
market could be created for it but he
went directly to the consumer and got
his first orders, the result being that
dealers in Aberdeen, S. D., where he
distributed car last year, who bought
100 pounds are clamoring for 500
pound lots this year.
Mr.. Clark is stopping at the Plaza
hotel and dealers and others who wish
to get part of this shipment of splen-
did dried fruit are invited to call upon
him or telephone 60.

most important things to come before
the board was the financial campaign
which will be launched.
M. n, Hatcher, chairman of the
financial committee of the 'Y," made
a report of the finances of the organ
ization. A canvass will be made
among the citizens of the city and a
big financial campaign will be launched
In an effort to raise the debt on the
building which has been carried since
it's construction. The campaign will be
one of the biggest movements of the
kind that has ever been instituted in
Fargo, and efforts will be made to clear
the building free from debt.
The meeting was one of the largest
ever attended by the members of the
board. In the event of there being no
president, the vice president called the
meeting to order. The first event on
the schedule was the election of a
president, which resulted in III. H.
Wheelock being selected for the posi-
ton. Mr.. Wheelock has served the
Y. M. G. A. on other occasions as presi-
dent of the board and is well qualified
to fill the position. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the annual election last
month no president was chosen, there
fore the election last night.
The insurance committee reported
and it was decided that some more in
surance should be taken out on the
building.

The assistant secretary will give part
of his time to the building fund cam

general work of the business end of
the organization.
Plans were discussed for the adj
dress of DR.. Wallace Stearn next Sun
day and the big Bible study rally to
be held then. Charles r. Drums COM
ing to the city was also discussed
thoroughly, and the board will CO.
operate in making the coming of these
two men a most suspicious occasion.
Among the more important affairs to
come before the board was the ap-

THEIR PROFITS INCREASE.

1t is impossible to make a mistake
with a National Cash Register. They
are so constructed that If you press a
key part way down you must press
it all the way before you can do any
thing else and the drawer can not be
unlocked until you do press the key
all the way down. When that is done,
the record is made inside the machine
and it can't be changed.

Is secret article in this convention

question. The United States intends
to force Russia's hand and determine
whether such q secret bargain exists.
The concession granted to the English
American syndicate was for the con-
struction of the Chin-Chow-Aigun rail-
road line. English capitalists were to
furnish the funds and the materials
were to be built in America.
There is one drawback to the situa-
ton from the standpoint of this gov
ernmert. England for some unknown
reason, is weakening. Her enthusiasm
for the joint undertaking cooled per-
ceptibly after Russia had entered an
objection. Diplomats seem to think it
quite likely that the United States will
have to make the fight single-handed
to keep Manchuria open with equal op-

Horses are now being purchased by

The success attending this effort
has been very gratifying to the quar-

view to improving the cavalry
mounts and the horses furnished TO
the field artillery. When young horse

Will Lead in War on the Opium Evil

means of international agreements
through which opium producing coun-
tries will protect, by means of gov
eminent supervision, ports where the
importation of the drug is prohibited.
The first realization Of the serious
ness of the opium traffic so far as the
United States is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order. An attempt to
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment of COM
mission. The commission in tracing
the many Americans engaged in the
opium trade found that the United
States, with some 100000 American
users of smoking opium, to say moth
ing of the Chinese users here, pre-
scented almost as serious question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
fight among the powers against the
drug.
About a year ago law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into this
country of opium for any except medi-
cinal purposes was passed. But there
are now about $50, 900 Americans using
the drug, and in spite of the prohibit
tory statute about $4,000 pounds of
smoking opium is struggled into this
country annually.

Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

A third marking takes place when the
horse is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery, and it
must be renewed from time to time.
1t is Captain CoRrad's idea that a
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying a mark to
the inside of the upper lip of the
horse lie has devised an instrument
for this purpose, and suggests the use
of India ink, with the result that the
numeral adopted will be indelible.
This will require, of course, a regular
system of marking so that there may
be no duplicates. BY this means a
horse accepted for military service
will keep it's number. 1t may be nee
essary to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use of a similar mark in the case
OF horses not used in the military
service
Captain Conrad'S quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi-
lions during the coming year. BY this
method the middleman is avoided, and
horses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system.
Besides, there is better opportunity
of selection, and controversies are
avoided which so often have prevailed
between the government representa-
tives and the contractors who fail to
comply with speciG cations in the de-
livery of military animals.
