Agricultural Conditions

The wheat situation becomes
more interesting as the season adj
vances, and developments have fav-
orcd the theory that supplies will
not so around without a curtail-
ment of consumption. Some months
ago it was agreed that much de-
pended upon the outcome Of the
crops in the Southern hemisphere.
and now it appears that in the ag-
gregate they will be 100000 to
100000 bushels short OF last year.
The final official estimate on the
Canadian crop is 262,067 900 against
474,l99,O00 in 1928. In this coun-
try and Canada the crop has moved
to market with unusual rapidity,
but exports have moved in like
manner. The visible supply OF
wheat in the United States cast Of
the Rocky Mountains on July 5,
1924, was 36,265.000 bushels, from
which date there was steady in
crease to Nov. %, 1924. when the
visible was l05,500,0O0 bushels.
From the latter date to January "a,
1925. the visible declined to 49,
10000 bushels. which was about
100000 in excess of stocks at the
corresponding date last year. The
aggregate visible in the United
States and Canada on January II,
1925, was 166, l75,000, against 201,-
2S3,000 on the corresponding date
in 1924, and in both countries the
crop is thought to be out of farm
ers' hands much more closely than
at that time. Exports from this
country since July lst last have
been about 200.0o0,O00 bushels,
against a total of 7S,793,034 bushels
in the entire crop year ended June
80, 1924.

have not been quite so favorable as
to the demand for goods. This
years crop is considered fully large
enough to supply a years demand,
and every additional 100000 bales
is a carry-over. The world, how
ever, needs larger stocks of cotton.
just as it needs larger stocks OF
wheat, as a protection against an
unfavorable season, and this is the
supporting argument.
Improvement in the Northwest
The January number Of the
Monthly Review of the Federal Re
serve Bank of Minneapolis after
saying that 1924 will be memorable
for the deht-paying qualities of its
crop. refers to its own loans as
follows:
The borrowings of country
banks from the Federal Reserve
Bank have been reduced more
than 9 million dollars from Aug
ust u to December II. Dur
ing this period, So per cent of
the borrowings by North Da-
kota member banks were repaid
Declines in borrowings by the
other agricultural sections were
as follows: Montana, IS per
cent; South Dakota, 46 per cent;
and Minnesota. outside of the
Twin Cities. 81 per cent. Six
city correspondent banks exper-
fenced an increase of nearly 100
per cent in deposits due to coun-
try banks between the end OF
August and the high poist IN

P0T0 IS KILLED
BY Gene OVENS,
Is EXONERATED
Shooting Follows Quarrel
Over Old Buildings-In-
quest Frees Owens.

John Poto, 43, was yesterday shot
and killed by Eugene Owens in the
post office at Sum Dunn following
short quarrel between the two men,
both of whom were awaiting the
distribution of the mail. Mr.. Owens
came to town today on a small gas
boat and surrendered, and Poto's
body was brought here on the same
boat.
"A coroner's jury after an inves.
tgation made this afternoon return
ed a verdict of justiflable homicide.
The verdict read that Poto came to
his death from gunshot wound
fired by Eugene Owens in self-de.
Tense and from evidence submitted
we exonerate said Eugene Owens"
Owens Is Pioneer.
Mr.. Owens is a pioneer of South
eastern Alaska and has resided at
Sum DUN for more than one quar-
ter OF century He is widely
known as the Mayor of Sum Dunn"
He is prospector and miner and
bears an excellent reputation.
Poto, witnesses told the jury to-
day. was quarrelsome and was con-
tinualy picking quarrels with his
neighbors and threatening them
with a gun. At the time he was
shot he had in his hip pocket
rs caliber automatic revolver,
which, Owens said, he was attempt
ing to draw when he, himself, fired.
Makes Staement.
Mr.. Owens, waiving all rights,
made a straightout statement of the
shooting to the coroner's jury He
and Poto were the only persons in
the room when it occurred. He said
he only shot after Poto was tug
ging at the revolver found in his
pocket when he was examined.
The shooting, he declared. was
the elimination of a quarrel forced
on him by Poto some ten days ago
over an effort by the latter to
claim ownership of some buildings
at the old Sum Dunn mining camp.
At that time. he added, Poto had
warned him not to cross the creek,
saying, III you do, I'll get you"
About May /, Poto again made
threats to Owens over the same is
sue but made no overt attack.
Prepares for Defense.
Sunday night. Owens said, he
heard the mailboat come into port.
and he went to the post office early
yesterday morning He started out
unarmed but returned and secured
pistol which he stuck i'll his
waistband. He had in mind Poto's
threats and his reputation for pull
ing a gun in his quarrels.
When he reached the post office.
Postmaster Ed. r. Goldwait was
concluding his breakfast and while
the later was sorting the mail,
Owens took seat in what was call
ed the sitting room In short
time Poto came in. Owens seeing
him as he approached the building.
AS the latter entered the room.
he glared at owens in a ferocious
manner, according to the testi-
mony Owens said he then asked
him if he was out to stir up some
more trouble, and told him he was
being watched as thief. Poto then
went for his gun and Owens fired.

of the neck, severed the jugular
