The ofhcial opinion of the Polk coun-
ty grand Jury Of the East Grand
Forks police department and Of gem
eral police conditions in the city. with
particular reference to the situation
last fall. is contained in the final re-
port OF that body, made Thursday
evening to Judge Watts.
Executive officers are also hit by the
jury's report, that portion of it bear
ing particularly upon East Grand
Forks conditions following:
Apparent InefFicieney.
THE grand jury has been called
upon to pass on a large number of
criminal cases arising in East Grand
Forks, in this county, as the results
of our labors will show.
@It is quite apparent to us, as ii
must be TO any observing citizen, that
the greatest amount of this criminal
activity in East Grand Forks last
fall. is due to the apparent inefficiency
and lack Of ability on the part of the
police department of that city.
Worst Criminals Harbored.
EFT appears quite clearly to this
jury that large numbers of the worst
criminals have been harbored and al
lowed to remain last fall in East
Grand Forks, more especially in vari.

Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 23.--In a letter
to r. f.. Flint. state dairy commits
sioner, q. W. Andrews OF Waihalla,
who has had considerable experience
with the silo proposition, gives some
valuable information on the question.
His letter has just been made public
by Commissioners Flint, and il as fol-
lows:
Tn reply to your inquiry relative
to the silo that built In 1905 on what
is known as the Oak Park farm, will
say that this is the farthest north silo
in the United States, being almost on
the forty ninth parallel. 1t Is 2Ox32
and holds little over 200 tons Of
siIage have never filled it to the top
though one year / put in It's tons
, which fed that winter to forty-four
head OF cattle, twenty head Of horses,
and fifty head Of Dogs. The silage
froze a little on the outer side, or just
next TO the walls, but that did not
seem to matter for in the spring had
to sweep the place to satisfy the stock.
It all went and my stock ate every
bit of it.
MY land is very light sand on this
farm, and the corn does not grow
as luxuriantly as it does on heavier
land so 1t took about Atty acres TO put
| in the ITS tons. On heavier land 1t
would probably not take more than
half that for this sandy land has not
been fortified.
Milk as Abundant.
"My cows do as well in the milk
pail on silage as. they did on June
grass, and it means that if you can
only put up enough of it to feed
through the dry time in August you
will have pasture all the time. I
much prefer to soil my stock. keeping
them in the barns, away from the heai
and flies, and feeding silage and grain

.SLAYER'S BODY
GOES TO STATE U.
MAN WHO SHOT AND KILLED
RicHLAND SHERIFF GOES TO
MEDICAL COLLEGE.

The body Of Bert Hudson. shot and
killed by the Richland county posse
after he had murdered Sheriff Moody,
will be brought TO the state medical
college in Grand Forks next month.
At the present time it is being kept
at Valley City where 1t will be retain
ed until the annual meeting of the
North Dakota Undertaker's associa-
ton Is held. Then 1t will be turned
over to the college OF medicine.
Hudson was killed in South Dalxo-
ia after he had been chased from the
scene of his murder OF Sheriff Moody.
That he was insane is the belief Of the
authorities who were in charge of the
case, and evidence has been gathered
since the shooting to show that Hud-
son was possessed at times, Of queer
notions.
