of material may not be regarded as a
very good advertisement of its distinc-

ed that there can be too much gray
monotony and that little white variety
would help the general effect. The town

Number or Amount

wage earners Of all manufacturing in
dUstl les in the state were employed in
this industry. The establishments
were principally small newspaper and
job printing offices.
Butter, Cheese and CONDENSED Milk.
Butter was reported almost exclus-
lively as the product of this industry
at the last two censuses. Reports
were received from four cheese fac
tories in 1904 and from only one in
1909. No condensed milk establish
ment was reported at either census.
The growth of this butter and cheese
industry from 1904 to 1909 was mark
ed; the value of products increased
SS.1 per cent and the value added by
manufacture 64.3 per cent; the growth
was more pronounced from 1899 to
1904, when the value Of products in
creased 1907 per cent and the value
added by manufacture 1921 per cent.
Leather Goods.
This industry, which was represent
ed by nineteen establishments, en-
braces the manufacture of saddlery,
harness, trunks and valises. There
were five establishments in the in
dustry in 1904, but the statistics for
these can not be presented separately
without disclosing the operations of
individual establishments.
Number of Employees. =
The average number of persons en-
gagged in manufactures during 1909
was Alas, Of whom 2,7S9 were wage
amer Of the remainder, 965 were
proprietors and officials and 394 were
clerks.
OF the total number of persons en-
gagged in all manufacturing industries,
1913 per cent were proprietors and
officials, 9.5 per cent. clerks and 67.2
per cent wage earners In the bakery,
butter, and printing and publishing
industries the majority of the estab-
lishments are small and to a large ex-
tent the work is done by the proprie-
tors or their immediate representa-
tives, so that the proportion Of per-
sons falling in the class of proprie-
tors and officials is higher than for
such an industry as railroad repair

Statistics Of Manufactures
For the State Of North Dakota

An advance bulletin just issued by
the census department gives the fol-
lowing facts regarding manufactures
in North Dakota.
North Dakota, with a gross area OF
70,S37 square miles, of which 654 rep
resent water surface, ranks sixteenth
in size among the states and territor-
les of continental United States. It's
population in 1910 was 577,056, as
compared with 319,146 in 1900, and
190,983 in 1890. 1t ranked thirty
seventh among the forty-nine states
and territories as regards population
in 1910 and fortieth in 1900.
In 1910 only II per CEN of the total
population of the state resided in in
corporated cities having a population

In 1909 the state of North Dakota
had 752 manufacturing establish
ments operating under the factory
system, which gave employment to an
average Of 4,14S persons during the
year and paid out $2,416,000 in SAL
aries and wages. OF the persons en-
ployed 2,789 were wage earners.
These establishments turned out prod
ucts to the value of $19,13S, 600, to
produce which materials costing $13,-
$4,000 were consumed. The value
added by manufacture was thus $5,-
464, 900, which figure best represents
the net wealth created by manufac-
turing operations during the year.
In general, this table brings out the
fact that the marked development in
the manufacturing industries Of
North Dakota which took place from
1899 to 1904 continued even to a
greater degree in the following five
years. From 1899 to 1904 the value
of products increased 63.2 per cent,
and from 1904 to 1909, 1878 per cent.
It would be improper to infer that
manufactures increased in volume 20
the full extent indicated by these fig
ures regarding values, since the in
crease shown is certainly due, in part,
to the increase that has taken place
in the price of commodities.
1t is a matter of interest to note
that for percentages of increase
shown for salaries and wages show a
greater proportionate increase than
those for numbers of salaried en-
ployes and wage earners
Flour Mill and Grist Mill Products.
North Dakota is one of the leading
wheat growing states; and, measured
by the value of the products, milling
is the states most important anu
featuring industry. The value of
products for this industry in 1909
formed Gil per cent of the total val
US of all manufactured products for
the state. From 1904 to 1909 the VAL
ue Of products in the industry increas-
ed sos per cent, while the value add
ed by manufacture increased SO per
cent.
Printing and Publishing.

RAILS ARE
NOT TO BLAME

Minot, N. d., Jan. 11.--old time
engineers who have run passenger
trains i n North Dakota for many years
say that defective rails are not the
cause of the wrecks reported in North
Dakota during the last few weeks Inc
engineers say that the trouble Is AUS
ed by the heaving Of the ground.
Il have run trains in North
for many years and / am satisfied
that the trouble is not defective rams,
but the heaving of the ground, salo
a Minot engineer today. This heav-
ing of the ground is a condition that
we have had to contend with. the
frost causes the ground to heave ana
this produces a strain on the rail-
which sometimes causes it to break
You will notice that the track is al
ways rougher in the winter time thar
in the summer. This is the result
of the heaving."

RUNAWAY BOY CAUGHT
Now in Custody Of the PoIice-Wiil
Probably BE Sent TO Mandan
Rsformatory.

A little 1s-year-old Fargo boy has
a hobby Of running away from his
home. He was picked up yesterday
afternoon by the Moorhead authori-
ties and the lad gave them q hard luck
story about his sister being dead and
he wanted to go home. The officers
across the river, feeling m for the
Lad, released him and later in the
evening Chief of Police Bowers took
the little fellow into custody. The
youngster tried to put over the same
stall on the gate city officials about
his sister, but it didn't work.
1t is said that the youngster refuses
to stay at home. His father lives in
Moorhead and his mother in Fargo.
He has been living with his grand
parents Of late but they r unable to
do anything with him.
The proper authorities are endeav-
oring to send him to the r~eforrnatory
at Mandan.

A T1old-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee R6asters' Association, IA seq
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is m existence q
coffee combine which t s+the most monstrous I'M
position In the history Of human commerce."
There Is very slight exaggeraticn about this
Statement. Ii comes very close 20 being literally
tSue. There ID . coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
m the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, winch com
pes American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, '4to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the eonsum.
efs Of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
TO further einch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
al coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
rs taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount Of the foFmar customs
taxes IN this country. The revenue which for
merry went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted TO the treasury of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast eo4fee continued 10 cost him the

Fargo and Grand Forks, have a popu-

Several important railway systems

Growth of Manufactures.
Although North Dakota is primari-
ly an agricultural community, the to-
tai value of manufactured products of
the state has increased steadily at
each census since 1899. Prior to that
year manufacturing in the state was
limited almost entirely to the social

ed neighborhood, hand, and building
industries; and, with the exception Of
the fiour-mil and grist-mill industry,
practically the entire product was
made for local consumption. The lat
ter statement continued to be true to
a great extent in 1909. In that year
North Dakota ranked forty-ifth
among the states of the union In value
of manufactures. The gross value of
products per capita OF the total popu-
lation of the state increased from $40
IN 1899 to $33 in 1909.
The following table gives the most
important figures relative to all
classes of manufactures combined for

BAND THE SHADE TREES NOW
State EntomoIogist of Indiana Warns
Against the Deadly Ravages OF
the Red Spider.

G. H. Baldwin, state entomologist
of Indiana, says that by taking adj
vantage of the tree situation early
this year, Indianapolis owners OF
shade trees may be able to prevent
much OF the annual destruction due
to insects.
CAS- soon as the earth begins to

owner should band his trees with
some sticky material. This win ar

beetle which he was carrying by its

a stone weighing nearly half a pound!
But how the feelers could stand the
strain (the beetle was carried in this
fashion for about 40 yardsl, and how
the legs could retain their hold OF a
heavy stone which they could not en-
compass. / cannot conceive! The
length Of the beetle was two and one
quarter inches. its feelers three

HOW TO TELL AGE OF FISH

Until within recent years there had
been ascertained no trustworthy way
of finding out the age of fish. 1t has
been shown that mere size does not
indicate the age. Reibisch, Heincke
and others have discovered that many
of the bones. scales and otoliths OF
fishes have annual age rings re-
sembling those in tree trunks, and by
means of these Professor Wallace and
others have now determined the rate
of growth of place. showing that
some specimens attain the age of
twenty-five, or even as much as TWEEN
ty-nine years. Age can now be cor
related with size and weight, although
1t appears that the sexes have differ
ent rate of growth.
