ARTIST BECOMES
REAL KING OF
COCOANUT ISLE

Chicago. Sept. 29.-John T. Nc
Cutcheon, cartoonist, has purchased an
island in the South Atlantic near the
Bahama group. The island is three
and a half miles long and little more
than a mile wide, and is down on the
admiralty charts as Salt Cay Island
To mariners it is known as Treasure
Island because of the many legends
of buried gold which pirate chieftains
pla ed there in the days when the
rovers of the sea piled their calling
McCutcheon says he places more
faith in the cocoanut trees of which
there are 10000. than he does in the
tales of buried treasure. And he ex-
poets his returns to come from the
products Of the soil instead of buried
treasure chests.

Fair with rising temperature to-

Heavy Traffic on N. P.

Owing to the market conditions
during the past week or two, the
Northern Pacific railroad has been
compelled to add several freight
crews to their line operating through
Kendrick in order to move the
large amount of wheat in transit.
AS many as six trains of grain each
day for the past five days have been
routed through Kendrick from the
surrounding country but it is
thought that there will be a lull in
shipping as soon as recent changes
in the grain markets are felt in
this section. The demand for cars
for wheat shipments has been SO
great that is has caused a car
shortage in the Northwest and some
sections feel the effects of curtailed
shipping facilities very keenly.

Prices Climbing

The cost of living is going up.
Nearly everything is higher this
year than last and will probably go
still higher. Overalls have advanc-
ed materially for the lack of domes-
tic dyes. Most of our dyes were
imported from Germany. Practi-
cally everything the printer needs
in his business has advanced--prin-
cipally colored bond paper and
envelopes. Type has advanced
greatly owing to the higher prices
of nearly all kinds of metal, prin-
cipally brass copper and zinc.
A new record price for grain
bags with a prospect of still further
advances is another result of the
European war, the quotations at the
present time being IL 1-2 cents for
wheat bags and from IL to IL 1-2
cents for oat bags. The purchases
for the Pacific coast will not exceed
so per cent of the demand and the
prospect for getting new shipments
in for the 1916 season are not en-
couraging.
