ANNUAL REPORT
Is ENCOURAGING
N. p. REPORT ISSUED THIS WEEK
MUCH IMPROVEMENT.

The Northern Pacific railway COM
pany, when it's annual report is is
sued, will show that it earned for the
fiscal year ending June 80 an amount
equivalent to per cent on the out
standing stock, according to an esti-
mate made by the Wall Street Journal.
1t will show, it is estimated. that.
notwithstanding a year of less profit
able business and a small total
handled, the road has a surplus of be-
tween $1.sOO.O0O and s2.00O,0OO in ex-
cess of the requirements for the pay
ment of the regular per cent divi-
dend, and that the percentage decrease
in net earnings is equal to about per
cent or per cent, against sos in the
fiscal year 1910.
The estimate carries with 1t some
comment noting the effect of the COM
petition Of the new Puget sound ex-
tention of the Milwaukee road. which
to some extent, has taken business
from Northern Pacific territory, but
1t notes also the increasing possibili-
ties of the western country, with pro-
liability that business of the future,
originating there will be ample for all
competing lines.

N. P. PUBLISHES
CENSUS FIGURES

The Northern Pacific has just pro-
duced seventy-t 1.-TWO page booklet
containing the complete 1910 census
figures for the seven northwestern
states traversed by its lines: Mlnneso-
ta, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
The booklet shows the population Of
all Incorporated cities, towns and viii
lagos in these states for 1890, 1900 and
1910. In the rear of the booklet are
also given summaries of agricultural
and industrial statistics for the seven
states. Another table shows popula-
ton of all the cities In the country
averaging over $4,000. together with
the population Of the ten largest cities
In the world.
According to the booklet, the total
percentage of increase of all the
United States in the last ten years
was 81 per cent, while the total per-
centage of increase Of the seven
northwestern state In the same ten
years was 81 per cent. This shows
the greater degree Of development
which has taken place in the north
west than In the other portions OF the

TEACHERS open
CLAY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS ASSEMBLED IN
GooDLY NUMBERS TODAY AT
THE NORMAL SCHOOL UNDER
DIRECTION OF PROF. REED.

Miss Rushfeldt, county superintend-
ent, and Professor Reed OF the normal
school, who is the director, expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
enrolment this morning OF teachers
from over the county to attend the
teachers institute for Clay county,
which opened in the model school
building of the Moorhead high school

tricts.
This afternoon Miss Randolph, for
merly county superintendent of Steele
county, Mimi, gave a very practical
talk on Seat Work and she was fol-
lowed by Director Reed, who gave
lecture on Queen Victoria.
Miss Randolph is particularly strong
on the methods of teaching the pri-
mary grades and is considered an ex-
pert in her manner of demonstrating
having devoted herself specially to
those lines. During the coming school
year she will be sent out by the state
department of Minnesota, over the
state to give lectures and demonstra-
tions on the subject of which she has
become so proficient.
Miss Rushfeldt is specially DESTROYS
that the teachers of the Moorhead
schools who are in the city avail them
selves of the many advantages which
the institute now in progress offers.
She is sure that many valuable point
ers can be cleaned.
In period entitled, The Years
plans, Miss Rushfeldt is unfolding
from day to day the devices and poll
cies which she is energetically putting
into operation in the county schools.

Bartlstt's Reprt.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Wheat: The
market opened strong but did not hold
all the advance. Frost was reported in
many places in the Canadian north
west since Saturday, but speculative
buying was not large enough to hold
the market. There was some better
inquiry locally for cash wheat. a sale
OF $4,000 bushels No. 2 hard being
reported at 3A cents over Sept. 9. ],
f. Buffalo. The market continues to
show a very steady undertone, al
though not fully responding to the
news from the northwest, which we
think Is most important, and which In
our opinion must have its effect later
on and cause higher prices.
Corn: The market ruled strong
from the start and very good cash
demand developed, sales for shipment
being reported in the neighborhood Of
500. 900 bushels. There was unques-
tionably a good export business ac-
complished, New York alone reported
twenty-five loads. The cold weather
in the northwest during the past 4S
hours has undoubtedly caused more or
less damage to the crop in that ter
ritory and the government predictions
for the coming week indicate range
of low temperatures throughout the
western belt. Should anything happen
now in the way of frost damage to
further cut down our present pros
poets, which are poor enough compar-
atively, prices would of necessity seek
a heavy high level OF values.
Oats. The market was firm, not
only in and of itself, but in sympathy
with corn. A better demand prevails
and prices in outside markets show
that ours are comparatively low. The
cold weather in the northwest I'M
doubtedly caught some late oats. We
continue to feel more than friendly to
the long side and look for very much
higher prices during the crop year.

AssEssoR EvANs REPLIEp
To Complaining Letter Received From
State Tax Commission.

State Tax Commission.
city Assessor Evans has received a
very caustically written letter from the
state tax commission In which Is in
timated that Mr. Evans has not secur-
ed a large enough assessment under
the new head of money and credits,
provided for in the new law relating
to the assessment of personal prop
erty. The letter Is CALLING to Mr..
Evans, for he has been patting himself
on the back at the return he had
made, that 1t was fairly representative
of the money and credit conditions in
the city of Moorhead. He believes
that the returns were honestly made
and that there were few, II any, om-
missions. The tax commission has
fired at Mr.. Evans a number of COM
parsons, quoting cities Of population
similar to that OF Moorhead and some
smaller, all Of which have made larger
returns.
Assessor Evans was loaded for a
reply to just such a letter which he
has received from the gentlemen In
the Offices of the tax commission In St.
Paul and he has sent his reply to
the boards criticism of his work and
gives the board some facts and figures
which they evidently are not familiar
with. Mr.. Evans is well informed on
conditions In Moorhead and also the
relative conditions In some Of the
places with which Moorhead Is COM
pared about as reasonable as pitting
Sabin or Comstock with the twin
cities or Duluth. Mr.. Evans gave the
board some nuts to crack and so far
they have only replied with a stereo-
typed letter which means the board
expected replies OF the nature OF Mr.
Evans letter and had some printed
ahead. The officials of Moorhead are
hoping reassessment will be ordered.

ovERRUN IN BUTTER MAKING

The overrun in butter making is
often confusing to those not familiar
with the composition nor with the
process Of making It, says q. l.. Mar
tin, professor of dairying at the A. G.
Overrun means merely that one
pound of butter fat when churned into
butter will produce more than
pound of butter just the same as a
pound of -four when mixed with yeast,
milk, salt and water viii make more
than pound Of bread--or overrun
Just so with butter. When the cream
tests 25 per cent it requires four pounds
Of such cream to contain one pound
Of butter fat. After the removal of the
butter fat by churning it is washed
to remove the butter milk, then sailed
to suit the market. The composition
Of average butter is as follows:

Mineral matter

.
In the process Of making butter, the
constituents naturally would vary
the same as In bread depending upon
the skill of the maker. In both cases
the water would vary the most so 1t is
responsible for the greatest variation
in overrun. Yet 1t would be impos-
sible to make either bread or butter
containing no wafer IN fact.all food
products whether of vegetable or OF
animal origin contain more or less
moisture and this element is one of
the things that makes our food whole
some. Again the mineral matter in the
butter which is salt largely varies from
none at all to per cent according to
market demands. The amount of
casein left In the butter has the least
effect upon the overrun for it occurs in
small amount depending upon how
well the butter milk is removed from
the butter
10 calculate the percentage Of over
rum Suppose we have seventy
pounds of butter from 200 pounds of
cream containing sixty pounds of but
ter fat. Apply the figures to the for
muIa:
Weight butter less weight butter
fat multiplied by 100 equals 16 2-3
per cent weight OF butter fat
In other words dividing the increase
ten pounds By the original amount Of
butter fat, sixty pounds, and multiply
BY 100 gives the percentage Of overrun
