Shortage Raises Prices.
Savannah, Ga. Sept. 1~4.-Congress-
man H. Fl. Hardwtck of Georgia.
chairman of the committee tnvestigat-
ing the operations Of the alleged sugar
trust, who is here, says the trust Is
not to blame for the price of sugar
advancing as 1t has been during the
past few weeks. He e~xonerates the
combine from the charge Of wilfully
forcing up the price. although he says
the matter will be Investigated by his
committee when 1t meets next month.
1.-THE increase In the price Of sugar"
the congressman said, SIS not the re-
suit Of manipulation. 1t Is solely the
result of lack of production In Cuba
and elsewhere. The beet sugar crop
has failed here and abroad, and sup
plies cannot be had. The result has
been an increase in price, just as there
would be an increase in price of cotton
If we should have a very short cotton
crop"

A Minot man says that after
experimenting with the feed
proposition for years, he has
struck upon the right mixture,
which not only keeps his
horses in a fat, sleek condition,
but he saves at least one-third
on his feed bill. 1t might pay
those farmers who will have to
buy feed this spring to note
his method. He takes a hun

corn which he mixes with

Then take that mixture and

GETS 20 YEARS M;pENTENrlARy
Grover Griffin, coIorsd; Sentenced
by Judge Burr Yesterday.

Grover Griffin, colored, who
plead guilty in the district
court here last week of rape in
the the first degree, was SEN
fenced by Judge A. G. Burr
yesterday afternoon to twenty
years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary at Bismarck.
When the case came up for
trial last week Griffin entered a
plea of not guilty and the state
introduced evidence and rested
their side of the case when the
defendent asked to plead guilty
of rape in the second degree,
which was denied by the court
and he then entered a plea of
guilty of rape in the first de-
gree.
Quite a number of people
expected to see Griffin get off
with the minimum sentence,
but his previous record, which
was brought out in his testi-
mony on the day of sentence,
fully warranted the heavy
sentence imposed on him.
In 1902 he was sentenced to
serve seven years in the penit-
entiary at Bismarck for man
slaughter in the second degree,
having shot a. brakeman on
one Of the Northern Pacific
trains.
He also served time in the
St. Paul Jail for assault and
battery: and was once arrested
in Butte, Montana, for ca rry-
ing concealed weapons but
claimed he lodged the Jail on
this occasion.

Governor John Burke Pays High TrI.
butte 10 State In ST. Paul Paper.

| In the Sunday st. Paul Pio-
neer Press, devoted to north
west conditions, North Dakota
is treated in the following
manner:
Gov. John Burke tells of the
agricultural resources of North
Dakota when he says:
We are just beginning to
realize that the soil is our
greatest resource. Until re-
Gently it was of little value.
Buyers were few for the reason
that it was not necessary to
purchase. Any one could ac-
quire title to 100 acres of land
by filing on it and living on it
for five years, or living on it
for fourteen months and pay
ing $l.25 an acre.
"fThe time is near at hand
when the government will
have no more agricultural
lands. It is now opening In
dian reservations to supply the
great demand, and in a little
while all the government lands
of the United States will be
occupied. We cannot add to
the supply, but on the contrary
we are losing thousands of
acres every year from unbridled
floods in our neglected rivers.
With the government land
gone, and our population stead
lily and rapidly increasing, it is
apparent that while our ex-
ports have helped to feed the
hungry in every land, we can
look into the future and see
our every acre taxed to sustain
our own people. The soil is
our greatest resource, for up
on it's productions all animal
life depends. With the in
crease in population there must
necessarily be an increase in
production, consumption aud
land values. Who can estimate
the future value of our rich

William Abelson, the self
confessed murderer of F. w.

brought here by Sheriff r. H.
Bond from the Pierce county
Jail at Towner~ on Tuesday

Of the deceased on Saturday
morning, Februarv11. between
Gland 10 o o'clock, he had "a dis
pute with Schroeder I'M regard
to stack of hay. Abelson
claims he shot in self defense
as Schroeder shot first but
missed him and he then shot at
Schroeder several times with a
22 repeating rifle which he car
ried and hit him twice, once in:
the head and the other shot
near the heart. He said he
then. dragged the body in the
barn and went over to, one of.
the neighbors, and told him Of
the affair but that he was
driven away, and: on Sunday
afternoon he loaded the body in
his sleigh intending to take
same to town and tell his story,
but that the body fell off at a
haystack and he left it there
until he went to sell the hay
to a neighbor on Wednesday.
and they discovered the body.
AT the coroner's inquest at
Upham last Thursday he was
supoenaed as a witness and
kept entirely ignorant Of the
evidence being gathered to
establish his guilt. He was
suspected from the moment he
made it known. His sleigh
was covered with blood and
when the sheriff compared the
sleigh rail to,the dead body and
tile tracks made by Abelson's s
sleigh in which he rode, they
tailed exactly. He is known
as Crazy Bill' Abelson and
followed the occupation of
country butcher. He laughed
and joked after being placed in
the cell and said no doubt he
would be out in a few days, as
he expected the farmers to get
his bail. He carried Schroeder
watch and keys when searched.
He said he got no money.
The defense will probably be
insanity. " #.
