Our Sanitary Condition.

We refrain from commenting
on the exhaustive report of which
we finish the publication in this
weeks issue, until it can be
thoroughly digested by our read
ers, especially those qualified
from scientific experience to in
diligently pass ON the recommen-
dations made.
Certainly the public health is
always the paramount issue in
progressive municipalities and
the complex questions involved
in this investigation should be
met deliberately, but with civic
courage and the determination to
forever rid our good town of the
stigma of its being an unsafe
place in which to soiourn, be-
cause of preyentible sources of

Apple Growing Not Overdone.

Like Eggs, There WIN Always Be
Demand For High Class Fruit.
There Is no more danger Of over pro-
Eduction Of high grade commercial APP
Piles to the United States and Canada
than there is Of American hens laying
more eggs than can be marketed. ac-
cording to Prof. E. E. Faville, Of Spo-
kane, Washington, who has made an
exhaustive study of crop and market
conditions in the principal apple belts
of this continent.
owe frequently hear the remark that
the planting Of fruit trees is being over
done in the Pacific slope and intermoun-
tain country and that before long apples
will be glut on the market. i" Prof.
Faville continued Certainly this is
most erroneous. especially from the
standpoint Of demand production and
the increase in population.
Reports Of the Department of Aeri-
culture show that in the face of a rapid
n increasing demand. owing to the
growth in population, the annual pro-
duction Of apples in the United States
actually decreased more than 1888. 900, :
900 bushels between 1896 and 1908.
during which period our poE ulation was
increased by fully IL, 900, 900.
For example, take 1908, with H.
900. 900 more persons to feed and 1885,
00O, 600 bushels less of apples to feed
them. We are brought at once to the
tremendous Importance Of this economic
fact. and that also to the fallacy Of the
statement that fruit growing is being
overlone.
This decrease is largely due to the
fact that so many of the old orchards
insthe east have been badly infested
with fruit pests, and in addition, have
been cut out. Thousands upon thousands
of acres are annually abandoned to the
ravages Of the wolley aphis, the Goblin
moth and the San Jose scale, as well AZ
the inroads made annually BY damaging
frost.
Farmers in the middle west were set
ting orchards twenty years ngo with as
much zeal as the growers in the north
west are planting today The history
of the orchards planted in the middle
west shows that in a. few years after
coming into bearing insect pests and
plant disease elimated many of these
orchards, and thousands Of acres of APP
pie orchards were removed by the axe.
MANY will ask: What abont the fu-
ture of the hundreds of acres Of fruit
land that are being planted yearly in
the favored fruit districts Of the north
west? The reply is: The same forces
that have worked formerly to reduce
i',oa-c hardaof the central west through
the work of progressive orchardists
and Improbable orchards is certain to
work in the future as in the past But
if the fruit grower has good orchard
land and is willing to give his orchard
the care that it demands he cannot fail.
The demand for first class fruit is
gr' wing. and in the years to follow this
demand win bring as good, if not higher
market prices than today. My advice is
to plant more fruit trees on good or
chard land and stay by the proposition !"

RUMORSFOUNDED0N
MYTH ONLY, SAYS:
7. R. BANGS
Charge That McI.ain Has Had
College Trouble and Is
Cruel Denied

various rumors concerning McIain
Cooper. the unfortunate boy, now held
at Htllsboro In connection with the
death OF Frank Ross, involving him in
trouble at Culver military academy
and the agricultural college at Fargo.
and IN a manner charging him with
unwonted cruelty toward dumb ami
mails, having come to the attention of
the Times, a reported was sent to in
tervtew Tracy r. Bangs, who, with
T. G. swenson Of Hillsboro, represents
the defendant. In answer to an inquiry
as to whether there was any founda-
ton in fact for these rumors. Mr..
Bangs said:
Il am loath to impose my business
on the public and have, always felt
that 1t was ethically improper for an
attorney to comment through the pub
lie press on business in his charge,
but approaching the proneness of the
public to accept without question any
and all Ill reports regarding one
standing under a real or apparent
cloud. as we'll as the great celebrity
with which such reports travel, and
considering the persistency with which
the enemies of Mr.. Cooper have cir
culated these false stories regarding
McLain, I feel that I would not be
violating any of the ethical rules Of
the profession in answering your ques-
ton, and so feeling, I desire to say
that H. ]. Cooper, the father of Nc
Lain, in connection with and under
the direction of the attorneys repre-
senting McLain, has made a thorough
investigation of each and all the ru-
mors in circulation, so far as we have
heard them. From this, Investigation
we are prepared to show the absolute
falstty Of every story that has been
circulating. The records of every
school attended by McLain show his
standing to have been excellent, and
positive proof is forthcoming that the
stories in regard to trouble at either
Culver or the agricultural college, are
wholly without foundation. We find
that in the handling Of horses and all
stock, that McLain is exceedingly kind
and the stories Of abuse to dumb AMI
mails are without any basis whatever.
He has always been a tractable boy,
obedient at home and In school never
exhibiting any malice toward any n
or anything.
why the story should have been
made up and circulated, I can not un-
derstand, unless some one interested
against Mr.. Cooper is busying himself
hoping thereby to distract attention
from the dangerous character Of the
man Ross and at the same time build
up an unfriendly feeling against the
defendant"

six minutes and reached a height of
400 feet. The first flight was made a
little past 4 o'clock and the second
was made in the evening.
After sweeping around the fair
grounds in great circles, McGoey
showed the spectators, the dip and
other aerial stunts. The fair man
agement is more than pleased with
the success of the flights. Two more
flights will be made today. The avi-
ators are expected to return home

CHEER WORK
IN GRAND FORKS
TODAY
Miss Theora Carter, Founder
Of International Society
Wants to Organize

Miss Theora Carter, founder and
president Of the Society of Good
Cheer. an international organization
incorporated by Miss Carter Septem-
Der 3, 1909, to benefit and cheer the
convalescent, is a visitor in the city
today and hopes that Grand Forks
Will be one Of the large cities of the
union to organize of these socie-
ties. Miss Carter is on her way from
New York to Seattle and leaves here
this evening but through the news
papers expects to leave word of her
mission and hear from some club
woman or good philanthropist like
herself who will become interested in
her work.
Miss Carter is a very young girl
who conceived the idea of doing some
thing for the c~onvalescents when she
was taken i'll in the city of Chicago
and for weeks was in the hospital, a
stranger and alone. She was not with
out the best Of care but no friends
came to call, no one told her of the
happenings Of the outside world and
in short she was utterly without
cheer. Her home is in Seattle and
as soon as she got strong again she
took steps for the organization of a
society that would bring happiness to
the patient who is we'll enough to en-
joy life but not strong enough to get
out and seek pleasure for himself. She
incorporated in New York city and
now the society extends through Can
ada. None but her WI money has
been expended for its growth and
through her influence large hospitals
are setting aside a department for
convalescents while in other cities
convalescent hospitals are being erect
ed. Here the society members will
gather and read to the sick. bring
them magazines. take them out for
fresh air auto rides and do a hundred
other things that will bring good
cheer.
The society is not a charitable or
g%anization, it is goodfellowship. Its
aim is to buoy the convalescent when
the doctor leaves them, when they are
lonely and away from home and
friends. 1t extends hospitality to the
stranger and gives its time because
It loves to do so. The society con-
tains young women only and it does
not give money but personal interest.
Miss Carter's Seattle address is 6516
Twentieth avenue n. w. and her New
York address 610 West 116th street.
She will be more than glad to hear
from any Grand Forks young women
interested and will return to the city
to assist in organizing If necessary.

mccoy EXPECTED TO REMAIN
Unanimous Invitation Extended to
Methodist Pastor VIII Probably
be Respected by Bishop.

At the Methodist conference to be
held In Grand Forks in October. one
Of the matters that will be disposed
Of by the bishop is the request Of the
local congregation that Rev. F. NJ.
Mccoy DE assigned to the First
Methodist church for another year.
At the forth quarterly conference. an
unanimous invitation was extended to
Rev. Mr.. Mccoy and as the wishes Of
the congregation r generally re-
spected, 1t Is almost certain that he
will be here next year.
Rev. Mccoy has been stationed here
for three years and the unanimous in
vitation to remain is a fitting testi-
monial Of the high regard in which
he is held by the members of the con-
gregation and the citizens Of Grand
Forks in general.
