Apple Crop IN South
Dakota Very Good


Sioux Falls Argus Leader. Apples
ere so plentiful this year in this and
surrounding territory in South Dako,
to that farmers are feeding them to
their hogs rather than bother to take
them to market where the prices are
SO low that there is little profit in
their sale, according to reports re
ceiyed here today. In comparison
eastern states have little to boast
over South Dakota In the productivity
OF their orchards 5l H. \ =
farmer near Madison who owns
a big orchard recently put a big drove
OF his hogs under the trees and pro-
.ceeded to shake the fruit to the
ground to provide an apple festival
tor the swine. He has found that
sfter packing ard taking the fruit to
market. there was not enough profit
IN the sale to make It worth while
Another has stated that he is going
to cut down his trees in order to use
The land for something else that pays
him something for his work
Peddlers in the city are offering fine
specimens Of Duchess and other big
apples, as well as crab apples, at from
&c to 75 cents bushel and decsareI
then that they make such meagorl
profits on their sales that It hardly
pays. Every report points to huge

lief that in some parts of the country

everything but fruit

What is the Matter
with r. r. Comms?

Why does not the railway com

fort to enforce the order OF the courts
on freight and passenger reductions
If they are not on the payroll of the

or get off the payroll of the state.
For over two years the viii of the

this was recently dissolved by the ac-

Inspector Says Meat
Will Reach SO Cents

sMeat VIII eost fifty censs per

was the statement ,naade by q United
States meat inspector the other day.
This prediction came as the result
tof a careful study suI the beef produc-
ing in this country The states OF
Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Iltineis,
and other middle west states, have
suffered SO terribly from the drouth
that they have no reed for their live
stock and Tine farnsers and sstockHgn
are now compelled to sell out ait a
sacrifice In tfhese states tahey have
had neither pastures during the sunt-
mer, nor corn to feed in the winter
SO the barge stceKnen are shipping
to market their -sIock IN order to
avoid paying high prices 4gf hay and
other feed in the winter. The result
OF tbSs Is chat the Ntssef' supply win be
insufficient and that this country is
facing a beef shortage to 4sdlich there
has been no equivalent. And to add
tic this state of affairs tas hogs in
Iowa arg dying daily by the hundreds
of choleHa cuTting the manket short
also from that source
The only way to remedy the short
age OF beef is by shipping 1t in from
Australia, New Zealand ,and Argen-
line, but I'M these couatries the cattle
are afflicted with anthrax cAMrbon, or
biock leg, is it is acOmmonsy called,

fore being shipped and I'm thiscsountry

The result of this beesshorsage is,
that the large Chicago packers are
nowaDuying as much as sGhey can get,
hold of at a low price and in the wins
ter when there are nc more shipments
they will put the price on beef almost

MRS. RUTH BROWN
|LLFROM SHOCK
Detectives Are Working on
Clews to Robbery of
Saturday Night

There were no developments yester-
day in the mysterious robbery of Mrs.
Ruth Brown in her room at the board
ing house of C. M Moriarty at 4O0s
Avenue B, about 9 o'clock Saturday
night. Mrs Brown is reported as quite
i'll from the shock and treatment re-
/, ceived at the hands of the robbers, and
is under physicians care.
At detective headquarters 1t was
stated that Detective Lon Taylor was
working on the case.
There is said to be especial signif-
ieance about the Brown robbery though
the thieves secured but $40 in cash, in
the fact that they were after a large
haul. 1t was stated Immediately after
finding Mrs. Brown bound hand and
foot and gagged one and a half hours
after the robbery In her bedroom by
inmates of the Moriarty boarding house
that the robbers must have known that
a brother of Mrs. Brown had received
a $4,000 Judgment in a suit on Christ
mas eve and 1t was thought that a
large part of that money was in the
possession of Mrs. Brown.
The detectives are working on this
theory of the case as it is known that
two persons saw the brother of Mrs.
Brown hand over a large sum of money
to Mrs. Brown on Saturday morning.
