Millers inform us that the William,
cite wheat Is of such a character that
as one of them expressed it, ANY
butcher can make white -four from If: >
and it seems that color and not quail
ity governs the price in the English
market. Walla Walla millers claim
that ovr wheat will make more and
better bread to the barrel than Vii
lamette wheat, but owing to the pa-
cullar constituents of the grain the
color OF the flour and bread a1e not
as white. Some attribute it to the
excess of gluten in the grain, and
some are of the opinion that our soil.
which Is all more or less permeated
with alkali, would soon give color to
the whitest wheat raised III the VII
lamette. Until the color test is les
sened or removed Walla WalIa wheat
will be apt to rate lower in the
English market than Willamette

The Historian makes the point that
Astoria is from 200 to 800 miles
nearer any foreign port than Puget
Sound ports. We admit the propo
sition. But taking the files of the
Historian for authority, we state that
in point of time any port on Puget
Sound is from one week to three
months nearer given foreign port
than Astoria. This difference in time
is caused by the difficulty and dan
ger attendent upon crossing the Col
umbia bar on either the inward or
outward voyage, dangers, delays and
difficulties not encountered on the
trip to or from Puget Sound ports.
Such being the facts it is better for
ship to load for Puget Sound than
Astoria or the fresh water seaport up
the Willamette.-W. W. Union.

The management of Happy Cal Wag-

by the press criticisms wherever they
appear-that they have the neatest show
on the road Not one act that the most
refined lady cannot witness to enjoy.
Nothing that disgusts, much that amuses,
and much that commends it to public
patronage. The Milwaukee papers were
all loud in their praise of the genteel per.
Torrance, as will be seen by reference tC
extracts given in another column. The
show books thirty artists, among whom
are Happy Cal, Sam Price, Lew Spencer

THE GREATEST ON EARTH.
Barnum and Jumbo, Oct. IL.

Said the Chicago Daily Telegram of
June 9Th
''Barnum has in the past, brought sew
eral big shows to this city and one or two
other well known showmen have done the
same thing but all former efforts are but
side shows as compared with the masto-
donic show which opened at the base ball
park and on the lake front yesterday at
ternoon."
And the whole of this wonderful ag-
gregation of wild beasts, performances
and gorgeous spectacles, with tremendous
Jumbo included, will certainly exhibit in
Rock Island, on Thursday, Oct. 18th. Its
success and popularity would seem in
credibls were they not backed by the solid
evidence of the cash receipts and daily
attendance ranging anywhere from 10000
to 80, 600 Three years ago, when it was
announced that the Barnum show and
London circus had consolidated, the most
experienced men in the profession sol
EMMY wagged their weather beaten heads
and said that the expense would more
than eat up. the possible profits. But in
creasing patronage compelled successive
expansion of the canvases, until now the
stupendous hippodrome tent will accom-
modate 10000 spectators, and infrequent-
" proves inadequate. A third ring has
been added and also an elevated stage
of huge dimensions for the conspicuous
display of roller skating exercises,
bycicle riding, wrestling, boxing etc.
Around these rings and stage is the grand
race course for hippodrome contests
chariot, elephants, hurdle and ludicrous
object races, etc. The primeval clown
and his antediluvian jokes have been
stamped out. In their place appear silent
fools, whose comic actions, accidents and
disagreements provoke continuous roars
of laughter, and to them is added the
dude" who mimiCs to the very life the
slim legged Outgrowth of aesthetic idiocy.
Jumbo, although wonderful magnet, is
but one of the many curious sights. The
gathering of strange people from barbar-
GUS and distant countries is an entirely
novel and most interesting as well as
instructive feature. Among them are
found, in appropriate garb and natural
groups, native Nubians, Australian canni-
balls, Bushmen and wild beast hunters;
Zulu warriors, with princess and two
babies; Siamese subjects and Burmese
priests and church rulers, who go through
their peculiar and interesting ceremonies;
a troupe of Japanese wrestlers and ath-
letes in feats of remarkable skill, and a
half dozen dusky Nautch girl dancers
whose graceful movement Of body and
limb illustrates the true poetry of motion.
And all these marvellous sights are extra
of the eighty circus acts, tremendous
double menagerie and the museum of
great giants, lilliputIGn people and many
more amazing freaks of wayward nature.
No wonder the Chicago papers pronounce
such a show as this indescribable.
