TWO FARGO GIRLS
ARE FOUND DRUNK
Police Are Trying to Find
Out Who Sold Them
the Liquor.

Fargo, N. D., June 17.-Locked in
a cell in the police station are W
young girls, one of them so drunk
that she could not tell the police her
name. The other one two years or
more older, gave a name well known
in police circles.
The younger girl is said by the po-
lice to be IA or Is years old. She was
found in front of a rooming house on
Broadway yesterday Inc
older girl was trying to get her on
the street. The young girl was so
drunk that she could not be moved.
Loaded Upon Dray.
There is no patrol wagon in Fargo
and Chief of Police Con skeefe called
a passing dray and the Two young
girls we're loaded on the dray and
taken t o the police station. They We're
so intoxicated that they were carried
from the wagon to the cell.
Once in the cell their condition was
pitiable. The sickness that follows
close on the heels of drunkenness
overlook them and there was no one
to help them. The police are work..
ing without a police matron. The
two girls were left in the filth Of the
police station floor.
Police Work on Case.
Chief Keefe told Judge Miller of the
occurrence, describing the younger of
the two as but a girl. Judge Miller
and the chief then held a consultation
and the police department was put at
work on the case.
Where the girl got her "booze," who
paid for it, where she was taken
while she was in that intoxicated con-
dition, and why she was found in
front of a Broadway rooming house
are some of the questions that the po-
lice are called upon to solve.
Judge Miller said that he intended
to sift the matter to the bottom.

MARKET
IS VERY DULL
Politics and Public Senti-
ment Influence Market to
a Great Extent.

New York. June 1.-THE dizziness
and vacillation of the price movement
in the stock market last week re-
f1ected the apprehension of partici.
pants in the dealings such as is usua
between periods of speculative activ-
itE. Politics and the attitude of pub
lie authorities and public sentiment
toward financial affairs We're leading
factors The sessions of the congress
sional committee to inquire into the
banking situation We're a stimulating
factor. especially the call on stock
exchange members, which seemed to
ndiact the purpose to learn intimate
details of market movements which
may even Yet be in progress.
There was enough in the news of
the week of popular unrest and dis
turbances to sharpen the attention
paid to the direction of public policy
toward corporations. Riotous dem
onstrations in Perth Amboy and Bos-
ton were taken at more than local
significance.
What is considered a part of the
same problem, viewed from a differ
ent angle. is the discomfort with
higher prices on the part of consum-
ers. voiced by mobs storming butcher
shops in some cities and the forma-
ton of boycott leagues to refrain from
eating meat.
The dissatisfaction of borrowers
with prevailing conditions is shown in
the fresh resort to short-time issues
in the form of temporary notes in
stead of bonds of a longer maturity.
a glut of capital issues is the COM
plant of the London, the Paris and
the Berlin markets. The same con-
dition is reflected in prices of stand
ard government securities.
The government report on grains

of offsetting advantages in later condi-

hanging was the way Martin Olson,
aged about SO, of Marboe township,
took to get into another world. He

Olson was in a respondent or ira

His body was found hanging by the
neck in an upstairs room of his house

rible deed was committed. Sheriff
Jackman and Coroner Saylor were at

ed to the scene when the body was cut
down and an inquest held.

OVER PRODUCTION OF APPLES.

The question is often asked, ''Will
not there be an over production of
apples?" l have promised some of
our patrons to give an answer to this
question. | have deferred the matter
somewhat that l might consult the
Government Census Reports. [ had
hoped to have the 1910 census report
before I completed this work but 1T is
not yet available here. These census
reports are the most reliable data
upon which to base an opinion. [
have been to the Seattle public library
and have delved into these reports
and purpose to make use OF the
figures | have been able to CLEAN from
that source. So much by way of in
PRODUCTION.
Why should apple growers fear over
production? The chief cause of that
fear is the fact that there is a decid
ed revival of apple growing in the
there is an increased setting of apple
trees. But has this increase in the
number of apple trees had much effect
on the production of apples? Let us
turn to these census reports in
answering this last question. The
Eleventh Census Report shows that
in 1890 there we're 100, 152, 1875 apple
trees in the United States of bearing
age and that the production in 1889
was 143, 1O5, $50 bushes or about one
and one-sixth bushels per tree. Ten
years later in 1000, as shown by the
Twelfth Census there were 20l, 1874
764 bearing apple trees in the United
States. By comparing these figures
with the number of trees of bearing
age in 1890 we find that in ten years
the number Of bearing apple trees
had increased 81, GAL, 900. But did the
production increase in the proportion
of increase in trees? Not at all for
while the average per tree in 1890 was
one and one-siXth bushels per tree
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-07-15

the average per tree in 1900 was but
three fourths of bushel to the tree.
The increase In production did not
keep pace with the increase in the
number of trees. 1t would doubtless
be erroneous to conclude this falling
off Ia production must be charged to
the newly set trees. Ii we had figures
to show the production from these
young trees l doubt not that it would
appear that their average was very
much over three -fourths of a bushel
per tree. 1t was the old trees that
cut down the average.
1t would be a serious mistake to
suppose that the number Of apple trees
in state would give the ratio OF
production in bushels and barrels.
For instance, the state of Missouri
in 1900 had over twenty million of
apple trees of bearing age and pro-
duced six and one-h half million bushels
of apples or an average OF about one
third of bushel to the tree, while
Pennsylvania had a few less than
twelve million of bearing apple trees
and produced over "a, 600, 600 bushels
of apples, or with little over one
half as many trees as Missouri pro-
duced four times as many apples. 1t
is true that Missouri does not always
fall behind as it did in 1899. In 1890
Missouri had over 5000, 600 Of apple
trees but produced the previous year
over 8, 900, 900 bushels Of apples. l
have these statistics lying before me
as l write. l have no disposition to
give any state black eye and it l
did l would not pass over my own
state for Washington having almost
3. 600, 600 apple trees in 1900 produced
less than l, 200, 900 bushels of apples
or less than one third of a bushel to
the tree. Oregon that year does not
make any better showing than Wash
ington. Both these states make better
showings in other years.
These statistics as they lie here be-
fore me make me stop and think
good deal. In the last census for in
stance, the number of apple trees in
the United States are reported to be
