Inc Emporla, Kansas, Republican, furnishes
the following interesting figures relative to
the wheat production and consumption OF the
country, and the surplus annually for series
OF yeats Il 7srsYss, s
Careful estimates show that the average
consumption VI wheat per cpplta IN This coun.
try Is three bushels. The statistics OF the last
forty years show that our pfouuctlon Of wheat
increases in much tasEr r;ltIo tuan our pop

In 1910 our wheat crop amounted to "a 000,-

In 1919 Thy special estimatei, thewheat crop
OF the country was 90 10000 OF bushels, ana
our population was 10000 900. THIS would
give Al bushels TO each person OF our Whole
population; thus leaving 35,OOO, QUO of bushels,

In 1850 our wheat crop amounted to 1907
100000 OF bushels, and our population was

AZ bushels to each person OF our population
The consumption would be SO 100000 of bush
els and the surplus would be 3l,5OO,O0O
bushels, nearly 81 per cent. OF the whole
crop.
In 1860 our wheat product amounted to III )
100000 bushels; our population 81 ,250,O00.
This gave nearly 81 bushels to each person.
The consumption was 94,250,000 bushels, end
the surplus was 1880 900 bushels, forty four
and three-quarters per cent. OF the whole
crop.
In 1870 our wheat crop amounted to 1885,
100000 bushels, and our population was Sc,
100000. This would give a little over ITO
bushels to each person The consumption
would be 115, 100000 bushels, leaving a surplus
of 1870, 100000 bushels. being 81 per cent. OF
the whole crop.
Now, in 1882, as by crop report of the de-
/ partment OF agriculture, our wheat product
amounts to 100000, 900 bushels and our popu-
lation is 100000. This gives $50 bush
els to each person. The consumption is
$4,000 900 bushels, leaving a surplus of BAT
100000 bushels, being 694 per cent. of the
whole crop.
This enormous surplus makes the United
States the granary OF the world, and as there
| is always q foreign market tor wheat, our
national prosperity from this source of agri-
cultural industry will continue TO increase with
| the increase of the crop.

Yesterday jolly party, composed of

one be it said) at the Tunnel Hotel. The
tunnel approaches are in good shape, and

the work progressing rapidly. A shaft
machinery will arrive shortly, when work
will be pushed in four directions. The cut
ting will be through solid rock, and it is
estimated that daylight can be seen through
that hill in about thirteen months. There
is quite real estate boom i'll Bozeman, and
lots are "way up" but the town needs an
infusion of new blood, for it is somewhat
lacking in public spirit and enterprise......
Everyone at the post is displeascd with the
sixty-four year clause in the retirement bill.
Under the disability clause, it is probable
that First Lieut.. D. NJ. Griffith, Sd infantry.
will be retired, as he has been on sick leave
for some years; and this will promote Sec
ond Lieut. Fayette W. Roe, of the Sd, who
heads the list, and bring him from Fort
Shaw to Ellis....... Great interest is being
taken in target practice, and some very
good scores have been made. Capt. Mitchell
has made fine record. Fort Ellis is now
one of the most pleasant and comfortably
equipped military posts in the west. H.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT 1T.

The first number of the Billings HERALD
reached us this week. 1t is the latest candi.
date for public favor. 1t is ably gotten up,
presents neat and attractive appearance,
and is newsy. Such paper speaks well for
Helena Independent.
The initial number of the Billings HERALD
published by Bromley & Dcvine, at then
booming town of Billings, came to hand
this week. 1t IS an eight-column folio-same
size as the Courier-and starts out as u
bright, newsy and intelligent paper, with
liberal advertising patronage. The Courier
extends friendly greetings to the new candi-
date for public favor.-[B Bozeman Courier.
'Our object in coming to Montana was
not to improve our health" is the short yet
crisp salutatory of the handsome Billings
HERALD, published weekly by Bromley &.
Devine 1t is fine eight column, all
printed at home folio, and presents a most
attractive appearance. If the succeeding
numbers show no deterioration, and from
personal acquaintance ofthe parties in charge
we know they will not, the Billings HERALD
will score the most unqualified success it SO
richly deserves.-II Mandan Daily Pioneer.
The Billings HERALD starts out with the
neat salutatory, eve did not come to Mon

newsy, bright and thorough that it is easy
to infer that the HERALD went to Billings for
Montana's health. At any rate, it will do
the handsome thing for Billings More

THE MURDER AT PARK STATION.

The HERALD Of last week contained
special from Park Station. setting forth
the fact that William Brady had been
killed at that place. The following alti-
Gle taking from the Gallatin News, de-
tails the circumstances ATTENDING the
shooting:
On Tuesday evening, June Is, bar
keeper named James Brady. at Park Station,
four miles beyond W. r. Bramble's, Sweet
Grass, suddenly met violent death. Brady
was a COW boy from Texas, of light com
plexiolI, and about five feet nine inches III
height, well proportional. Jfe iinbibeG
rather extensively and continuously of vile
whisky, and was qUarrelsome and insulting
to those he met. 1t had been reported that
he told several parties that masked men
were following him up and wanted to kill
him. and that he expected to be shot any
moment. Residents of the place thought
that it amounted to nothing, and treated it
as silly mouthings, but it proved only too
true. Shortly before his death three strange
men were seen lurking in the mountains,
and on the night of the 18th, at ten o'clock.
five masked men rushed into the saloon
where Brady was bartender. In moment
the sounds of pistol shots followed each
other in rapid succession, until twenty to
twenty-five shots were fired. and Brady fell
only one shot had taken effect, which.
entering the right hip, pierced his body and
passed into his left side. 1t almost instant
ly paralyzed him. He fingered in stupid
condition for about thirty minutes. He
was buried last evening There is no clue
to the parties committing the murder, that
will identify them or lead to their arrest as
they were carefully masked, and departed
as suddenly as they entered. In the cabin
where he was shot, the posts, doors and
floor are riddled with bullet holes. A jury
was emsanneled, which brought in ver-
die. to the the effect that James Brady came
to his death from bullet wound, inflicted
by parties unknown.
