VALLEY FRUIT z,
CROP ESTIMATE
is 21,275 CARS
H. A. Glen Issues His An
nual Prediction of Pro-
duction for Season

Yakima valleys fruit crop this year
will total 21,275 cars, barring fros,
damage this spring, according to the
official estimate of Harry A. Glen
Northern Pacific railway distric,
freight and passenger agent here,
who announced his figures thru the
press this week. Glen's figures are
usually so close to reality he has
become recognized as one of the few
real experts in estimating crop pro-
duction.
The 1925 harvest will be only 144O
cars less than the bumper yield of
1923 of 22,715 cars, and will exceed
the 1924 crop of 1914 cars by 9161
cars.
Glen's estimate, which is based on
the 1924 shipments, gives $4,000
cars of apples, but 500 cars below
the 1923-24 tonnage. The reduction
in tonnage over 1928 is due to the
pulling out of undesirable varieties
and is 6458 cars above the 1924-25
movement. He predicts a production
of $500 cars of pears, 200 cars more
than the 1928 crop, and twice the 1924
tonnage of 1850 cars. The Winter
Nellis harvest will be light this year
but the Bartlett crop will be exceed
ingly heavy, from all reports and will
overbalance the loss in the Nellis |
yield.
The apricot crop, so cars, will be
the largest in the history of the val
ley, due to the extensive planting |
made in recent years. Last year only
IA cars of apricots were shipped
and the total yield Of previous years !
has not averaged more than 10 cars.
Despite the severe winter freeze,
damage to the peach orchards of the
valley, the tonnage will reach 800
year, and will be about two-thirds
as neavy as the 1928 crop.
cars, as compared with BAT cars last
The prune and plum production
will be about 200 cars, slightly more
than the 1928 crop and $50 cars more
than last years shipments. Cherry
shipments will amount to IT'S cars,
as compared with 20 cars produced
asst season, and the grape tonnage
from the Sunnyside, Prosser and
districts will total $50 cars,
IN increase of 200 per cent over the
1924 shipments and ~ cars more
han were shipped of last years crop. !
Melons and cantaloupes will fill
100 cars this year, "a cars less than
asst years shipments and slightly
more than those of the previous year.
An even 1000 cars of mixed fruits
will be moved, or 1913 more than were
hipped during the past season.

 A few years ago the island was leased 2 from the Department of Agriculture by Karl Armstrong, Of Kodiak, who placed number of blue foxes on it. These animals are propagating rapidly.

ATTEMPT MADE
BY GUNMEN TO
MURDER GROVE
Thug Appears at Office OF
Chicago States Attorney
and Attacks Staff

Chicago, June l7.-.@-Warfart
between Chicago gangsters and Chi
cago policemen which started last
week with the shooting of five po
licemen, last night was carried into
the city hall when an unidentified
man appeared at the office of Robert
E. Grove, states attorney, and fired
point blank at Sergeant Ebert Cur
ran, attached to the states attorneys
staff.
Curran was not hit and the man
escaped after Curran had fired sew
eral shots at him as he fled down
corridor. Few minutes after the
shooting every door to the county
building was guarded and for an
hour gun squads ransacked the build
ing in the belief that the gunman had
been cornered.
Curran said the man who fired at
him resembled a man who appeared
at the county building Monday even
Ing and asked to see the states at
torney, explaining that his brother
was in trouble and intimating his
relative had been seized when more
than 200 alleged gangsters had been
rounded up after last weeks shoot
ings.
Shortly after the attack, Mr..
Grove assumed personal charge Of
the investigation while hundreds of
policemen were combing the city for
the black haired. swarthy complex
toned man who fired at Curran.
members Of Groves staff advanced
the theory that the assault was an
attempt to assassinate the prosecu-
tor. Curran and Grove are strklngly
alike in appearance.

ROTARY URGED
TO AID WORK
AMONG BOYS

Cleveland, June 17.-(R)-Failure
to accept the responsibility Of boy
hood today is reproach to Rotar-
ians banded together on platform
Of service, Hart l. Seely, chairman
Of the International Committee on
Boys Work, declared in an address
today before the annual convention
Of Rotary International.
Rotary's purpose is to develop the
right kind Of a citizen SO that Rotari-
ans may leave the world a little bet
ter than they found it, Mr.. Seely
said, adding that men Of today can
do no greater work than to help the
boys grow into the kind of men they
should be tomorrow.
"What kind of men will they be ?"
he asked. High minded men, men of
lofty ideals, men of business integ-
rity, men of high ethical standards in
business? The answer lies with you.
The responsibility is yours.
"If the boy is to be success as "a
citizen he must have physical
strength; he must have health, and
Rotary advocates clinics where the
boy may find out about himself; {;
Fairgrounds and swimming pools,
where he may develop his physical
nature and grow into healthy young
man.
"The boy needs an education to be
q success. Not necessarily a college
education, but we say every boy
should have trained hand and q
trained mind. He should know his
fellowman and realize that citizen
ship is not an individual matter but
q group matter"

HEAVY LOSSES
ARE)SUSTAINED
ON LIVESTOCK

Losses ON livestock shipped by
North Dakota farmers are steadily
rising and are higher than losses in
transit Of vegetables, in the opinion
of E. NJ. Hendricks, freight expert
of the state railroad commission.
At least 80 per cent of all livestock
losses are preventable, he said. More
than one-fourth of the losses last
year, can be traced to. the RESPONSE
bility Of the producers. feeders and
shippers. These we're attributed to
preventable diseases. congestion Q
the lungs, improper feeding and care
and insufficient exercise during feed
ing.
Losses under the control of the
railways are attributed to defective
equipment, rough handling, wrecks,
fire and loss sn water.
The payments Of railrosd compan-
les for livestock losses are consider
ed in fixing freight rates and char
ges.

against William Darling Shepherd
accused Of the murder of his mil.
lionaire foster son, William Nelson
McClintock, said Joseph p. Savage
assistant state attorney shortly Le-
fore court opened today.
AT this time / think can safely
say that the state has proven that
Shepherd had q motive for the slay-
ing of McClinock and today We will
try to establish he actually did,
Savage said.
Faiman on Stand
"Faiman will be our last witness
probably late today, and if the jury
believes him he will obtain Shep-
herds conviction. If the jury does
not believe him, that will be another
story"
Charles Faiman, proprietor If a
small university Of science at { hi
cago, was indicted with Shepherd
after he had testified that for q
promise Of 100000 ne taught Shep-
herd how to kill the rich youth and

in his last illness as nurse, being
called as the first witness.
Boy Was Delirious
She testified that upon her arriv-

BOARD T0BUY
STATE BONDS
kOsitzky to Ask Bank for
$1,5OO,OOO of Real
Estate Issue

Purchase Of at least $l,50O,0O0 of
Bank of North Dakota real estate
bonds which go on sale July is
being contemplated by the board of
university and school lands, Carl K
land commissioner, says.
Members of the board feel that the
bank should sell to the board because
it will remain part of the finances
of the state and be an aid to the
schools and institutions in the state
Invested in Loans
The balance of the permanent fund
to date is 81 1,611 ,639. These funds
are invested in farm loans and bonds
which bear per cent interest. One
third of these funds are intended to
be invested in farm loans, and two
thirds in bonds such as school, state
and county bonds.
At the first of the year more than
$2,3OO,OOO was invested in farm loans
or more than one-third of the amount
above the sum that was intended to
be so invested. At that time there was
about 100000 worth of farm loans
pending payment, making a total of
$1,5OO,OOO. Now there is about $780,
900 in farm loans pending payment,
including those which the board ap-
proved since Jan. /.
Two Men in Charge
It will take the board until Jan.
!, 1925, to complete pending loans, as
the board is handicapped, since there
are only two men who have charge
Of farm loan accounting, one in the
land commissioners department and
one in the attorney generals depart
ment.
, At the December meeting Of the
board it was decided not to distribute
application blanks for farm loans be-
cause of the fact that one-third Of
the amount to be invested in this
manner had already been disposed Of.
Since then no applications have been
considered.
