HUNTING COST
TAKES WINGS
Like Everything Else, It
Costs More Than in
Other Years

Take good aim and make every
shot count will be the watch word
for nimrods OF North Dakota when
they enter the hunting fields of the
state this coming fall.
To fire single short brass shell
in twelve-guage gun is going to
cost about cents this year. Fargo
ammunition dealers report big in
creases in the price of shells over
last year. Many of the local dealers
purchased this years supply at last
years prices, but in the rural dis
tricts will be where the nimrods will
feel the advance. M
Short brass 12-guage shells were
quoted at 95 cents a box of 25 at the
firm of Emery e. Johnson this after
noon. compared with rs cents a box
last year. High brass stA'ls are
$1.05 compared with IS cents year
ago. These shells, it is said will sell
for $1.25 box in the country stores
which did not purchase their stock
at last years prices.
For ten-guage shells the charge
will be ten cents more per box.
One case of short brass 12-guage
shells brings $3.50 on the market
today against 1880 in 1915, and high
brass 12-guage shells $19 against SIS
a year ago.

DIVIDENDS OF
WESTERN ROADS
Held SECURED
N. p. and G. N. Reports In
dicates Earnings Will
Be Maintained

Reports of the Great Northern anc
Northern Pacific railroads for this
first six months of 1917 indicate that
net earnings will not be materially
affected by the marked increase in
cost Of material, equipment and Ia
Dor, unless startling developments
occur during the final six months.
The net operating income for the
Northern Pacific for the first six
months Of this year shows an in
crease of nearly 10 per cent over the
same period year ago. During 1915
the Northern Pacific earned 1887 per
cent on its 250,000 shares of stock.
Indications are that the IL per cent
figure win be reached this year.
Decrease Is Small.
The Great Northern earned IL per
cent on approximately 100000 shares
Of stock in 1916 It's net operating
income for the first sin months of
this year shows decrease under the
same period Of 1916, $9,2S9,631, COM
pared with $9,501.62 year ago. But
this is trifling.
The ratio of operating expenses to
income so far this year on the North
ern Pacific is 59.4 per cent, compared
with 81 per cent a year ago. The
Great Northern's ratio was 70,4 per
coul, compared with 66.4 per cent
year ago. This. difference is attribut-
able to the proportionately larger
supplies the Northern Pacific has on
hand, and advantageous contracts
still in operation.
Traffic Very Heavy.
Capacity business is shown by the
Great Northern report for June.
Freight revenues increased from
$5,162S056 to $6,322,SSS. an increase of
22.5 per cent. The passenger busi-
ness also increased, going from ST.
307,S28 to $1,419,249. But operating
expenses cut seriously into the in
crease, moving from 1920, s07 to $5,-
154,05S.
Maintenance of equipment cost of
the Great Northern was $1,3S5,952
more for the first six months of this
year than a year ago. This was
SPENT in preparing railing stock for
the, fall rush.
Total operating revenues for the
Great Northern during the first six
months of 1917 were $4,000, 4S7, COM
pared with $35,874,993 during the
same period year ago. This illus
trates the enormous increase in
business handled.

Horne. when brought to Fargo
Saturday. stated he was willing 10
plead guilty, but the court would not
accept the plea until there was an
opportunity for a more thorough in
vestigation.
This morning the prisoner. who Is
slightly more than a boy, was taken
into the judges chambers and SEN
fenced. He told the court Satur-
day that he visited the East Grand
Forks brewery only once, going over
to buy beer on one occasion with
three companions, and that the beer
was for his own use.
From the character of the man
and the truthful statements which
he made, the Judge also learned that
he was an honest laborer. and un-
der the second charge against
Horne. that of conspiracy to evade
the federal laws, he was released
on his own recognizance.
