Cooperative Elevators
Handle Much 1915 Grain

Fargo, Feb. 19.-Over so per cent
of the wheat produced in North Da-
kota last year has been or will be
marketed through purely cooperative
elevators, approximately 100000 of
the total of 142,7S2,OOO bushels being
handled by the independent COM
panies.
Such estimate is made by Harold
Bachman of the North Dakota agri-
cultural college, who has been max
ing a thorough study of the situation.
This estimate does not include a
certain class of elevators known as
farmers elevators, but which, in real
ity are owned by outsiders, local
farmers having very minor interest
in the proposition.
The average membership of the
genuine farmers or cooperative ele-
vators is placed at 125, and there are
285 such elevators in the state. This
gives such elevators tie patronage of
35,624 farmers for the whole string
of elevators.
Over ten per cent of all co-opera.
tive or farmers elevators in the Unit.
ed States are located in North Dakota.

Total .................. 81 1884
In connection with this l would like
to state that these oats were bought by
the Farmers Grain Co. from the farm
ers at 81 cents per bushel and were
all re-sold to the farmers at so cents
per bushel, so that the profits on this
transaction came from the farmers d.
rect. Would state further that the
screenings were donated by the farm
ers in form of dockage without any in.
vestment on the part of the company.
You will notice in said statement
that the net profits amount to $1,321.42.
Also that the profit on oats and screen.
ings amounts to $1,319.84, so that the
profits on these two items amount to
more than the net earnings Of said
company, which goes to show that the
company did not quite make expenses
on the grain and coal business during
said business year.
Yours very truly,
w. H. FLORA.

PERsHING REPORTS ON DIRE
 DESTRUCTION IN MEXICO

SAN ANTONIO, May 3. - Frightful destruction of the country through which the American troops have been operating south of Casas Grandes was pictured in a long report received by General Funston today from General Pershing. He mentioned the hostile attitude of the populace at Bachineva. displayed when Major Howse passed through there. He said the cavalry was subjected to sniping. For the most part, however, the poverty stricken people exhibited nothing but apathy when the American troops troops passed. through the country and skirted villages where the hungry in- habitants had gathered from the war ruined countryside.

HIGH WAGES ARE BEING
 PAID BY MANUFACTURERS

WASHINGTON May 3. - Manufac- turing industries in the United States are shown by figures published by the department of labor to be spending fSXn 20 to 60 per cent more for wages than they were a year ago. Much of the increase is accounted for by the additional number of men employed but a considerable amount is credited to higher wages.
 The iron and steel industries lead with a 603 per cent increase in the amount of wages paid and 36 per cent increase in men employed.
 < The car building and repairing in Rstry is next with 51 per cent wage increase against S6 per cent increase in men employed. Cotton manuiac- turing alone of the bigger industries shows only nominal wage increase

SCOTT AGREES TO WITHDRAW THE
 SOLDIERS

FL PASO, May 3. - Although not officially announced, it is generally understood here that Generals Scott and Obregon today reached a tentative agreement providing for the general withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. No time limit is set. and the agreement as it stands now, 1t is said, is nothing more nor less than state ment by General Scott that the Am erIcan troops will retire from Mexico after it is apparent that Villa cannot be captured or in case the bandit is delivered into the custody of the American commander.
 It is said that Obregon realizes he cannot expect the American forces to abandon the pursuit of Villa at this time, and wants only to obtain assur- ances that U. s. forces will not hold Mexican territory in reparation for the outrages committed by the bandit.

SAY BIC STEAMERS WON'T
 USE THE CANAL NOW

WASHINGTON, May 3. In the hearing of the inter-mountain rate case before the interstate commerce commission yesterday it developed that the large American steamship companies will not use the Panama canal for one or two years, or pos sibly much longer. These statements were introduced in an attempt to show that water competition has no bearing on railway freight rates. Spokane holds that there is no longer reason for making lower freight rates from the east to the Pacific coast than to inter-mountain points. The railroads oppose any change of rates. In this stand they are joined by Tacoma, Se- attle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego and San Pedro.

CH|T|NA THISTLE WILL BE IN BY
 MAY 1O

Work on the reconstruction Of Chi tina crossing will be commenced in two or three days and by May 10 trains will be operated through from Cordova to kennecott, according to Superintendent Caleb Corser. The running ice is yet too heavy to allow the work to start, but everything is in readiness to rush it to a speedy con clusion once it is begun. At Miles Glacier 100 men are now repairing the ice breaker, which was damaged by the heavy ice.
 Owing to the unusually heavy traf- fic over the railroad this season, more work than usual will be done during the summer. One steam shovel will be kept in continuous operation, and additional snowsheds will be built at Abercrombie canyon, provided the ne- cessary lumber can be obtained. North of Chitina 100000 new ties will be laid, and the entire length of roadbed will be kept up to the highest standard to insure the rapid movement of trains. Although it will be a week before the crossing at Chitina is replaced, enough ore is in the yards at Cordova to supply cargoes for all the company boats calling here.
