TENENKO IN VALLEY CITY PRISONER WHO BROKE JAIL HERE LOCATED—EXTRADITION LAW MAY FREE HIM MINNEAPOLIS AUTO THIEVES AR- RESTED HERE Two Minneapolis youths taken into custody here by H. Friesinger, N. P. agent, Monday night, came here in a Buick touring car which they admitted they had stolen in Minneapolis. They Peter Tenenko, horse trader who es- caped from the county jail here Wed- nesday morning of last- week, was ar- rested by the authorities at Valley City, N. D.j Wednesday. A telegram received by Chief Larson Wednesday did not say he had been arrested but merely asked whether the local au- thorities had any charges against him. Deputy Sheriff Fueger wired the Yali ley City police to hold Tenenko pend- ing further orders and an answer to that telegram stated that he had been ar- rested and was being held. At press time yesterday it was not known whether Tenenko could be- brought back here as extradition papers would be necessary. County Attorney Cameron was out of the city and Sheriff Felix deferred action in the matter pending a conference with Mr. Cameron. Tenenko was arrested here on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. There was no charge against him at Valley City.

Martin has sold a pure bred registered Shorthorn bull to Fred ,Holz of Ripley township. Two government planes from Minne- apolis landed on the field near the Tim Perry farm yesterday and were here for quite a while. Major Miller was one of the passengers and from what could be learned they were simp- ly out for a pleasure jaunt. They re- plenished their oil and gasoline supply here and returned to the twin cities early in the afternoon.

Harris of Rail Prairie, proprietor of the Linden Grove Resort on Lake Alexander, was drowned in that lake Saturday afternoon while at- tempting to swim out to his launch, which was being carried out into the lake by a high wind. The body was not recovered until Sunday afternoon, when Sheriff Felix located it with the aid. of grappling hooks. Harris had taken two Little Falls men, Clarence Sprandel and Thomas Hughes, out for a ride in his launch, which they had engaged. According to, testimony given by Sprandel and Hughes at a hearing conducted by Cor- oner O. J. Brown, the lake was rough due to the high wind and they were drenched on their way out. At the suggestion of one of the party they pulled up to Haystack Island to dry their clothing, Sprandel remaining in the launch. The heavy wind carried the launch out into the lake and Harris started to wade out after it. He reach- ed deep water and started to swim to the boat but when about fifteen feet away from it he turned suddenly and started back to the island but almost instantly after he turned he sank with- out uttering any sound. Hughes called to Sprandel and he succeeded in getting the engine start- ed and got back to the island, where- upon he proposed diving for the body., Hughes protested, however, and togeth- er they went across the lake to the northeast shore after assistance. Sher- iff Felix was notified at about 3:30 p. m., and he took out grappling hooks to drag for the body. Efforts that day to rceover the body were futile but the search was resumed Sunday and that afternoon Sheriff Felix located it about fifty feet from the shore of the island. : The body was brought to Little Falls and Coroner Brown summoned witnes- ses and conducted a hearing to deter- mine how the drowning occurred. Sprandel and Hughes, the only ones "present at the time of the drowning, testified as stated above. Testimony by members of the Harris family sought to show that the men were -scuffling In the launch and that Harris was pushed out of the boat but the other testi- mony disproved this. They also testi- fied that they were not advised of the drowning until a camper who drove by the Hiarris place told them about it. No inquest was held, Coroner Brown deeming it unnecessary. Surviving Mr. Harris are his wife and one brother, Ly»n Harris. The latter was associated with his brother in the res'ort business on Lake Alex- J ander. The funeral was held from the j First Congregational church of this city Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

South St. Paul, Minn., July 25, 1922: —The keen demand for the .limited sup- ply of choice young new-crop hogs com- ing is sending prices of such kinds to- ward the $11.00 mark, best today land- ing at $10.75, while the dull demand for the liberal marketings of heavy mixed and packing grades has forced values on such kinds downward, heavy pack- ing grades going today around $7.00 to $7.75, showing the widest price range of the season. Good pigs brought $10.60. Heavy receipts continue the rule in the cattle trade, around 16,000 arriving for the first two days of the week. The market held mostly steady,' how- ever, only moderate price losses being registered on in-between grades of but- cher she stock. A good demand from the country and from shippers for stockers and feeders absorbed all of these offerings at steady prices and helped maintain values of killing cattle. Strictly choice dryfed baby beeves are quotable at $9.75 to $10>.00, load lots and small lots having sold r.t these prices on recent market sessions. Dry- fed beef steers of a good grade both light and heavyweights are selling from $9.00 to $9.50, with medium grades of shortfeds $8.00 to $8.75. Grass fat steers of a common grade are selling from $5.75 to $7.50 or somewhat higher. Best grass fat heifers are going from $6.00 to $7.00, best grass fat young cows on the heifer order at $5.00 to $6.00, with bulk of butcher shp stock $3.50 to $5.00. Canners and cutters are selling from $2.25 to $3.25, bologna bulls $3.25 to $4.25. Prices of veal calves were steady to 25c higher today after a 50c cut on Monday, best lights selling from $7.75 to $8.50, bulk $8^00, to $8.25, seconds $4.00 to $5.00. StoclT- ers and feeders sold for the most part from $4.00 to $6.00, a few of the com- monest kinds below $4.00, and a limited number of good and choice kind? to $7.25. 1 Bulk of good native lambs sold at $11.50, seconds $6.00 to $6.50, good 'light and medium weight natives ewes $6.25 to $6.50, heavies down around $3.00 to $3.25. The so-called Babcock plan trans- ferring to the state the burden of im- proving and maintaining the main arterial highways, Minnesota counties and townships immediately reduced tax levies of road and bridge funds by more than $1, 500,000. The figures given in a new highway department bulletin today are taken from the state auditor's tax abstract. The tabulation follows: Road and Bridge Tax Levies Year County Township 1921 $10,843,682 $6,862,560 1920 10,022,488 6,139,673 Decreases $ 821,194 $ 722,887 Funds for local road purposes are $19,811,271 for the year, however, and more than double the current funds available for the 7,000-mile system of state trunk routes. The current trunk highway funds for the first two years under the Babcock plan are averaging about $7,850,000 against the $10,000,000 an- nual average proposed in Amendment No. 1. Federal highway aid has been cut in two—reduced by nearly $1,500»- 000 for each year. Motor vehicle tax revenues were $5,616,000 last year and have passed $6,000,000 this year, in- creased numbers of cars being register- ed. The bulletin continues: "Many automobile and truck owners including those in the large cities which cannot share in the trunk funds, assert that they are ready to pay more car taxes to extend better roads. That will increase savings on tires, gasoline and general car expense which already more than offset the auto taxes." Reductions in countv-township road taxes are for local road authorities to decide, it is pointed out, but with other states issuing big blocks of road bonds, Minnesota must provide more funds for trunk highway development in order to hold a place in front of good road ranks. j Mr. and Mrs. B.

Letter Hessian Fly Reappears After 15-year Absence For the first time in 15 years the Hessian fly, once the Minnesota wheat farmer's most dreaded pest, has been found in the state. "Although the danger of widespread damage is not imminent," says A. G. Ruggles, state entomlogist at University Farm, "there is danger that the pest may again become one of the worst in the state.'' . Hatching out in the spring as mag- gots from eggs laid by the adult fly, the larvae attack the wheat stalk be- tween the leaf sheath and the stem. Eventually the stalk breaks ov,er with the result that much is lost in harvest- ing. Still greater loss occurs when im- mature grain is attacked, the heads, deprived of nourishment from the roots failing to develop properly. Because pupae of the fly live over winter on volunteer wheat in the stubble, eradication of all volunteer wheat is very important in spring wheat areas, according to Professor Ruggles. Deep plowing after harvest with frequent cultivation is another important measure, for 95 per cent of the pupae so buried will not survive. University Will Have $220,000 Dairy Building A new $820,000 dairy building has been definitely authorized for the college of agriculture -.at University Farm by action of the board of re- gents. "For many years," says Dr. C. H. Eckles, chief of the division of dairy husbandry, "the university has been handicapped by the lack of facilities to serve adequately the expanding inter- ests of the . state. The new building will mean a great deal in enabling the University to perform a service to Min- nesota dairymen . compatible with the state's leading position in the dairy world.'' Tentative plans, according , to Dr. Eckles, calls for a three-story building with one-story wing in the rear to house a large dairy products manufact- uring department equipped with the most modern machinery and manufact- uring devices for handling ice, cream, market milk and butter with especial attention to cheese making. The de- partment of dairy bacteriology will be enlarged, and a testing laboratory for the analysis: of datiry. products and.a specially equipped laboratory for the study of dairy, by-products will be pro- vided^ Chris. Heen, head of the Minnesota Dairy and Food Commission, has pre- pared statistics showing comparative figures concerning the dairying industry in Morrison county for 1920 and 1921. Mr. Heen states in a letter accompany- ing the statistics that while the total amount paid patrons, as well as other totals in the cash account, show con- siderable of a change in 1921 as com- pared with 1920, which change may not appear to be particularly in favor of the patrons, it should be remembered that the cost of practically al] items that enter into the production of creaQl has been materially reduced since. 1920—that is, the cost of care and feed was less in 1921 than the previous year. This, he states, leads him to be- lieve that the actual net return to the patron, taking into account the costs, is still really well worth while and a much better return for money and labor expended than received by the farmer from any other source. Below are published figures compiled by Mr. Heen. It was necessary with respect to some localities to estimate in gart the number of patrons but the figures given are such as may be" de- pended upon as approximately correct.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK WILL OFFER PRIZES FOR BEST CALVES Prizes aggregating $75.00 will be of- fered to boys and girls of Morrison county by the First National bank of this city for the best calves exhibited | at the coming county fair. The bank j has started a boys' and girls' calf club I for this purpose and for the coming county fair the entries will be limited; to twenty. The calves must be grade j or registerd Shorlloras, Red Polled,! Holsteins or Guernseys. The prize | money will be divided equally among the four breeds, with five prizes for i each breed. A circular pavilion will be erected at the county fair grounds to house the calves. The pavilion will be 24 feet in diameter and-will-contain 24 stalls. An advertisement explaining the club proposition appears elsewhere in this issue. "Going to the K. C. picnic" is what they are all saying. All committees are working to make the affair at Pierz Fish Lake Sunday one of the best that. the Knights have had, and that is saying a good deal. Things will all be arranged at the lake by early Sunday morning, as many of the picnickers plan to spend the whole day and evening at the lake. The program will start at 12:30 and will last until evening. There will be foot, sack, three-legged and other races for the "kids" and events for the older ones, for which cash prizes will be given. The tug-of-war last year was a stellar event and the one this year be- tween the brawny men of Pierz and Bowlus ought to be a corker. Yes, and a pig has been specially trained for the greased pig event. The water sports will be the best ever put on at the lake including div- ing, under water swim, boat racing, etc. The game of water base ball, which is a new game in this vicinity, will furnish plenty of amusement. J. J. Quigley of S<t. Cloud, an ex- cellent speaker will give an address which will be of interest to all. Mr. Quigley has spoken in this city and made a fine impression on his hearers. And not the least part of the pro- gram will be a concert by the Little Falls Juvenile band, under Director Racicot. For those wishing refreshments, ice cream, hamburger and weiner sandwich- es, coffee, soft drinks of various kinds and candies will be served on the grounds as well as cigars.

Peter Tenenko, horse trader who escaped from the county jail here Wednesday morning of last- week, was arrested by the authorities at Valley City, N. D.j Wednesday. A telegram received by Chief Larson Wednesday did not say he had been arrested but merely asked whether the local authorities had any charges against him.

DeWitt F. Harris of Rail Prairie, proprietor of the Linden Grove Resort on Lake Alexander, was drowned in that lake Saturday afternoon while attempting to swim out to his launch, which was being carried out into the lake by a high wind. The body was not recovered until Sunday afternoon, when Sheriff Felix located it with the aid. of grappling hooks.
Harris had taken two Little Falls men, Clarence Sprandel and Thomas Hughes, out for a ride in his launch, which they had engaged. According to, testimony given by Sprandel and Hughes at a hearing conducted by Coroner O. J. Brown, the lake was rough due to the high wind and they were drenched on their way out. At the suggestion of one of the party they pulled up to Haystack Island to dry their clothing, Sprandel remaining in the launch. The heavy wind carried the launch out into the lake and Harris started to wade out after it. He reached deep water and started to swim to the boat but when about fifteen feet away from it he turned suddenly and started back to the island but almost instantly after he turned he sank without uttering any sound.
Hughes called to Sprandel and he succeeded in getting the engine started and got back to the island, whereupon he proposed diving for the body., Hughes protested, however, and together they went across the lake to the northeast shore after assistance. Sheriff Felix was notified at about 3:30 p. m., and he took out grappling hooks to drag for the body. Efforts that day to rceover the body were futile but the search was resumed Sunday and that afternoon Sheriff Felix located it about fifty feet from the shore of the island. :
The body was brought to Little Falls and Coroner Brown summoned witnesses and conducted a hearing to determine how the drowning occurred. Sprandel and Hughes, the only ones
"present at the time of the drowning, testified as stated above. Testimony by members of the Harris family sought to show that the men were -scuffling In the launch and that Harris was pushed out of the boat but the other testimony disproved this. They also testified that they were not advised of the drowning until a camper who drove by the Hiarris place told them about it. No inquest was held, Coroner Brown deeming it unnecessary.
Surviving Mr. Harris are his wife and one brother, Ly»n Harris. The latter was associated with his brother in the res'ort business on Lake Alex- J ander. The funeral was held from the j
First Congregational church of this city Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Harris wras an ex-ser%*ice man and the funeral was conducted by the Richard Howard Ferrell Post, American Legion, Rev. A. C. Bacon, chaplain, of-

South St. Paul, Minn., July 25, 1922: —The keen demand for the .limited supply of choice young new-crop hogs coming is sending prices of such kinds toward the $11.00 mark, best today landing at $10.75, while the dull demand for the liberal marketings of heavy mixed and packing grades has forced values on such kinds downward, heavy packing grades going today around $7.00 to $7.75, showing the widest price range of the season. Good pigs brought $10.60.
Heavy receipts continue the rule in the cattle trade, around 16,000 arriving for the first two days of the week. The market held mostly steady,' however, only moderate price losses being registered on in-between grades of butcher she stock. A good demand from the country and from shippers for stockers and feeders absorbed all of these offerings at steady prices and helped maintain values of killing cattle.
Strictly choice dryfed baby beeves are quotable at $9.75 to $10>.00, load lots and small lots having sold r.t these prices on recent market sessions. Dry-fed beef steers of a good grade both light and heavyweights are selling from $9.00 to $9.50, with medium grades of shortfeds $8.00 to $8.75. Grass fat steers of a common grade are selling from $5.75 to $7.50 or somewhat higher.
Best grass fat heifers are going from $6.00 to $7.00, best grass fat young cows on the heifer order at $5.00 to $6.00, with bulk of butcher shp stock $3.50 to $5.00. Canners and cutters are selling from $2.25 to $3.25, bologna bulls $3.25 to $4.25. Prices of veal calves were steady to 25c higher today after a 50c cut on Monday, best lights selling from $7.75 to $8.50, bulk $8^00, to $8.25, seconds $4.00 to $5.00. StoclT-ers and feeders sold for the most part from $4.00 to $6.00, a few of the commonest kinds below $4.00, and a limited number of good and choice kind? to $7.25. 1
Bulk of good native lambs sold at $11.50, seconds $6.00 to $6.50, good 'light and medium weight natives ewes $6.25 to $6.50, heavies down around $3.00 to $3.25.
The so-called Babcock plan transferring to the state the burden of improving and maintaining the main arterial highways, Minnesota counties and townships immediately reduced tax levies of road and bridge funds by more than $1, 500,000.
The figures given in a new highway department bulletin today are taken from the state auditor's tax abstract. The tabulation follows:
Road and Bridge Tax Levies Year County Township 1921 $10,843,682 $6,862,560 1920 10,022,488 6,139,673
Decreases $ 821,194 $ 722,887 Funds for local road purposes are
$19,811,271 for the year, however, and more than double the current funds available for the 7,000-mile system of state trunk routes.
The current trunk highway funds for the first two years under the Babcock plan are averaging about $7,850,000 against the $10,000,000 annual average proposed in Amendment No. 1. Federal highway aid has been cut in two—reduced by nearly $1,500»-000 for each year. Motor vehicle tax revenues were $5,616,000 last year and have passed $6,000,000 this year, increased numbers of cars being registered.
The bulletin continues: "Many automobile and truck owners
including those in the large cities which cannot share in the trunk funds, assert that they are ready to pay more car taxes to extend better roads. That will increase savings on tires, gasoline and general car expense which already more than offset the auto taxes."
Reductions in countv-township road taxes are for local road authorities to decide, it is pointed out, but with other states issuing big blocks of road bonds, Minnesota must provide more funds for trunk highway development in order to hold a place in front of good road ranks.

Extension Div. Letter Hessian Fly Reappears After 15-year
Absence For the first time in 15 years the
Hessian fly, once the Minnesota wheat farmer's most dreaded pest, has been found in the state. "Although the danger of widespread damage is not imminent," says A. G. Ruggles, state entomlogist at University Farm, "there is danger that the pest may again become one of the worst in the state.''
. Hatching out in the spring as maggots from eggs laid by the adult fly, the larvae attack the wheat stalk between the leaf sheath and the stem. Eventually the stalk breaks ov,er with the result that much is lost in harvesting. Still greater loss occurs when immature grain is attacked, the heads, deprived of nourishment from the roots failing to develop properly.
Because pupae of the fly live over winter on volunteer wheat in the stubble, eradication of all volunteer wheat is very important in spring wheat areas, according to Professor Ruggles.

A new $820,000 dairy building has been definitely authorized for the college of agriculture -.at University Farm by action of the board of regents.
"For many years," says Dr. C. H. Eckles, chief of the division of dairy husbandry, "the university has been handicapped by the lack of facilities to serve adequately the expanding interests of the . state. The new building will mean a great deal in enabling the University to perform a service to Minnesota dairymen . compatible with the state's leading position in the dairy world.''
Tentative plans, according , to Dr. Eckles, calls for a three-story building with one-story wing in the rear to house a large dairy products manufacturing department equipped with the most modern machinery and manufacturing devices for handling ice, cream, market milk and butter with especial attention to cheese making. The department of dairy bacteriology will be enlarged, and a testing laboratory for the analysis: of datiry. products and.a specially equipped laboratory for the study of dairy, by-products will be provided
Chris. Heen, head of the Minnesota Dairy and Food Commission, has prepared statistics showing comparative figures concerning the dairying industry in Morrison county for 1920 and 1921. Mr. Heen states in a letter accompanying the statistics that while the total amount paid patrons, as well as other totals in the cash account, show considerable of a change in 1921 as compared with 1920, which change may not appear to be particularly in favor of the patrons, it should be remembered that the cost of practically al] items that enter into the production of creaQl has been materially reduced since. 1920—that is, the cost of care and feed was less in 1921 than the previous year. This, he states, leads him to believe that the actual net return to the patron, taking into account the costs, is still really well worth while and a much better return for money and labor expended than received by the farmer from any other source.
Below are published figures compiled by Mr. Heen. It was necessary with respect to some localities to estimate in gart the number of patrons but the figures given are such as may be" depended upon as approximately correct. The statistics follow:
