EMERSONS CHARGED
WITH BOXCAR THEFTS

Albert and Ernest Emerson were
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Besls. of
Cascade Locks, at Wyeth Saturday on
charges of breaking open box cars at
Troutdale and Portland. The officer
brought the men here and lodged them
in the city prison, where Mrshal Lewis
held them until Sunday morning, when
they were escorted to Portland by
officials from that city.
The Emersons are thought to have
committed number of similar offences

pose as pedlers after a haul is made
and sell the "swag" in remote places.
When captured Saturday, they were

WHITE SALMON.
(From the Enterprisel

A girl was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Caskey of Bristol on Wednesday.
Blessings doubled up on M. V. Baker
were born to them.
F. S. Wnuk and friend recently
arrived from Bismarck, N. D., and
will develop orchard land at Bristol.
Mr.. Wnuk is the owner of 20 acres
bought of C. Atwood. They are now
busy grubbing 20 acres for Mr.. Morey,
of Grove, N. ID.
F. W. Balsiser brought samples OF
apricots from young trees into this
office that measured seven inches
around. That is some size. He also
brought in clusters of apricots, 29 and
81 on a single small twig. He is
much pleased with his yield of apricots
and is going to set more trees this
year.
About $4,000, half the required
amount to start grading of the railroad
up the hill, is in sight, as stock has
been SUBSIDIZED in that amount. The
local committee promoting the road
are encouraged and believe there is
now no doubt about being able to sell
the 500. 900 of stock, for people are
beginning to realize that this may be
their only chance to ever get a road.
The great column of lurid smoke
which shot up back of the hill on the
west side of town on Monday night
was from the slashing fire on the ten
acres being cleared by the Bodding-
house brothers. II was a fine burn,
but had the large trees been first split
by dynamite much future burning
would have been saved. A tree burns
more easily from the inside outwards.
But better yet, the big trees should
have been cut into cordwood. for at
the present rate of burning wood so
close in will be of value. The boys
have fine tract and with knowledge
acquired at the very practical SCHOOL, of
horticulture at Corvallis will make a
success of it.

Ramsey county is Charles Baker,
who insists that he is going to put
in his entire farm into winter
wheat as soon as he completes this
harvest. So successful was Mr..
Baker with this years attempt that
he is goin to venture into the bus
mess on a large scale and feels
confident of his success.
Mr.. Baker hit for the threshing
fields today. He says he has
varied crop this year and has put
everything which spells ''diversi-
fed farming" to a test, having
fax, oats, barley, corn and wheat
in equal abundance on his places
as we'll as his successful venture
in winter wheat this year.
The threshing of this wheat
went thirteen bushels to the acre
and his oats he figures will go fifty
to sixty bushels to the acre, as in
dicated by a few bundles already
threshed.
Not since 1884 has there been
such an oat crop in this section,
according to Mr.. Baker, when los
bushels to the acre was the order.
The corn is especially good this
year and some excellent samples
are on display at the Baker Office.

that a large percent Of these poor
people are necessarily saving fol
months in advance to get together
enough money to make the trip
to and from a destination designat-
ed a. a registration point, often
depriving their families of the
necessities of life, in order to lay
away the amount required for

quirement could be better admin.

Poor Cows Unprofitable

Thomas p. Cooper, expert in
farm management at the agricul:
tural college and director Of the
demonstration farm movement in
/ Minnesota, has issued a bulletin
summarizing the experience Of
years of investigation, in which
the statement is made that any
farmer maintaining a COW whose
butterfat yield is less than 200
pounds a year, or 5000 pounds Of
milk, is doing so without profit.
The bulletin is the first of its kind
to be issued in Minnesota and is
the strongest argument ever pre-
sented for the bringing up of the
standard of herds and maintenance
of high-bre stock and is believed
to be one of the most valuable con-
tributions ever made to the litera-
ture relating to the great dairying
industry of Minnesota.
ie Seven years: Of investigation was
necessary to obtain all the infor-
nation on which the conclusions
are based. Three communities
were salected. one at Northfeld for
southeastern Minnesota, another
at Marshall for southwestern Min.
nesota, and the third at Halstad in
northwestern Minnesota, whore the
dairying industry 10 not 90 impor-
tant, but where it 10 increasing. In
each vicinity eight to ten average
dairy farms were selected. Every
thing connected with the industry
on every farm was taken into 90
count, and all farm equipment was
inventoried at the beginning and
end Of each year. Grain and rough
age used was chsoked by ''route
man" employed, and to guard
against possible error the figures
werereverified and recheoked again
and again.
The result is q compilation of
costs that has been worked ont
scientifically and compared with
production. Professor Z. L.Haec-
ker has estimated that the average
production Of butterfat per animal
in Minnesota is l42 pounds and
the average milk production $3.50
pounds q year. Professor Cooper's
figures show that on that basis the
average Minnesota COW is being
kept at . loss, and that profit in
the dairyine industry is to 30

Sanger Branch To
Be Finished Soon
The First Train viii Run In About
Six Weeks II All Goes Well
With Contractors

Six Weeks If All Goes We'll
With Contractors
Mandan, N. D., Sept. 1l.-Work
on their new north branch of the
N. P. will be finished in the course
OF a few weeks and the long talked
Of and partially constructed road
will be a reality. The branch will
be built to Sanger, but it is expect
ed that upon reaching Sanger
work will be continued to Stanton,
the original terminus, giving the
farmers of that section their long
desired railway.
Prominent business men of the
towns affected and farmers living
along the river have been carrying
on an active campaign for the COM
pletion of the work ever since the
discontinuance of construction
!. some time ago. President Elliott
of the Northern Pacific, accom-
panied by railroad engineers,
made a trip west recently to look
into the question.
No definite promise could be OBJ
tained from Mr.. Elliot at the time
of his visit, but upon his arrival in
Seattle he wired instructions to
st. Paul, ordering the renewal Of
the work and Engineer Darling ar.
rived in Mandan a few days later
to let the contract.
This branch will do the same
work on the other side of the river
that the north 500 does on this,
Sanger being nearly opposite Will
ton, while Stanton, the original
terminal Of the branch, is across
the river from Washbnrn. Grad
ing has been completed for the en-
tire length Of the line and steel
has besn laid to Sanger, although
it is very rough in spots and will
have to be repaired, as it has been
washed out in one or two places
and surfacing is necessary most of
the 26 miles to Sanger.
Claude A. Seims, a contractor
who has done minor work On the
Cannonball branch, has been Civ.
en- the commission, and Engineer
Eagan of the Northern Pacific will
be in charge of the field work. 1t
is planned to complete the road in
at least month or six weeks 90
that tho farmers will have an op.
portunity to move their grain.
! i is- reported that the line will
be operated by. the construction
department for the present, which
means that the contractor will op.
crate trains along the branch at
the convenience of the company
and on no definite schedule, prob
ably making the trip every four
days or wesk. Although this will
not be very good service, it will
J. give the farmers an opportunity to
4 move their grain and : definite
schedule will no doubt be regnlat-
ed to accommodate the. demands Of
eterritory after the line is once
completed. s4.,s,..
