G.S. Barnes, who is sone of the heaviest
wheat dealers in the United States, says
that he expects higher range Of prices
before the close of the year, but no inn
mediate advance. The present visible
supply of wheat is SO large and the for
eign demand for -four is so light that an
immediate advance in prices is improb-
able. The millers claim that the foreign
demand for -four does not justify them
in paying even the prices for wheat.
The market, however, will be governed
entirely by the deliveries If we have
free deliveries throughout the wheat
section during the next sixty or ninety
DAYS, and as consequence have to RELY
upon the foreign demand, no material
advance can be reasonably expected.
But if, on the other hand, the producers
in the winter wheat sections should
show disposition to hold back their
grain, and put upon the market just
enough to supply the milling demand,
we may expect to see strong markets.
But too many elements enter in the
problem Prices cannot be foretold
this season any better than in other

i saerlnee to Public Spirit.

We notice, by the st. Joseph papers
that Col. A. N. Saxton has presented thu
board uf trade Of that city with fine
portrait Of Joseph Robidoux. the found.
er of st. Joseph. This brings to mind
one OF the most touching instances Of
selfsacrifc on record--one in viii h the
i victim deliberately wore himself out in
endeayoring to keep pace with public
| improvement, and to be able to supply
| the demand when the call came.
Robidnuk, many years ago, when the
Platte Purchase was yet an outlying In
dian possession, selected the present site
of St Joseph as the most favorable in
all that country for trading post. When
this fine body of land, through the eff
forts of Col, Benton, was attached to the
State of Missouri, and the Missoui river
made the western boundary of the state,
immigration came pouring in, and busi-
ness men came to Robidoux's post, which
they called, in compliment to HIM, St.
Joseph and they ordained that, in fur
ther compliment they would name all
tho streets rilnning ii one direction after
his children. AS he already had quite a
large family of grown or about grown
children, he could furnish the names
easily and so the streets reached out,
Felix and Francis and Edmund, and SO
ON, after both sons and daughters. But
events occurred that had not entered
the dreams of the old French frontiers
man. The California fever broke out,
followed, in few years, by the opening
of Kansas ard Nebraska to settlement,
st. JOSEPH. being the headquarters of the
thousands focking hitherwards. The
city suddenly took boom, and big
one. She stretched out and new streets
were constantly added. Robidoux saw
his family exhausted, and new streets
stretching away constantly. Having
laid his hands to the plow, as it were, he
would fulfil hisduty, if he died between
the handles. He was growing old, but
he remembered the old tricks and
pounded away. Still the city spread out.
but Robidoux never despaired. He took
unto himself two or three buxom squaws
and hopefully pegged away, But human
endurance has its limit. Railroads will
revolutionize the oldest order of things
in existence. Robidoux was equal to all
ordinary emergencies, but he could not
cope with steam The Hannibal and st.
Joseph railroad was completed, and the
city commenced growing faster than
ever Rabidoux tried to keep up with
it, but the infrmities of age were not
equal to the task. He wore out, and
sank silently to rest For many wears the
city has been steadily spreading out, but
the new streets for many long squares
bear other names than those of Robi-
doux's children. The great city is mis-
monument but should the enterprising
people of later years ever see fit to erect
a shaft to his memory, they could not
place upon it more appropriate inscrip-
ton than the three words

A Mistaken Policy.

At long range it looks very much to
us as if the Butte Printers Union, now
boycotting the Miner and using despic-
able means to injure its business, is
overstepping the authority of its charter.
As we understand it the Miner pays
regular union wages and its management
aims to treat their employees with the
consideration that is their due. Print
ers will find it an unpopular policy to
fight those who try to do as well as the
Miner seems to be doing with its men.

The area of the United States devoted
to cattle grazing comprises 1,365, 900
square miles, greater area than is fur
nished by all the countries of Europe
except Russia, and including much of
that vast empire, There are 1900, 900
range and ranch cattle IN Texas, and, T.
100000 in other parts of the country.
Thse 16,5OO0,OOO head are estimated to
be worth $94OOOO,OOO, and constitute
about one-third in number and one
quarter in value of all the cattle in the
United States. The Hartford Courant
says
"The value of the young cattle shipped
from Texas and the east to the northern
range area in 1884 is estimated to have
been IS, 100000, and the number of beef
cattle shipped to market from Texas and
the northern area together is estimated
to have been Sl,O25,OOO, worth SS1, ,625,-
600. Besides these. of course, there are
marketed the vast number of cattle that
are the product of the farms The total
number of cattle received at Chicago
and st. Louis in 1884 was 2,26S,4l4 of
which nearly 100000 were range or
Texan cattle The total value Of the ex-
ports of beef and beef products during
1884 was 100000, so that the Texan
and range cattle marketed worth, as
stated, $31 1865 5OOOl constitute about
three-quarters of our export. The great
foreign consumer is Great Britain, which
took $50, $4,000 out of the $41 100000.
Next came the British North American
possessions, taking 81 ,2S0,755 and Ger

Harvest work is severe, but it is also
hurrying work. 1t is of necessary to

working overtime is generally offset by
days when storms make outdoor work
impossible. Generally a reasonable
spirit on both sides will secure satisfac-
tory results to both PARTIES. If a hard
working, faithful man is willing to work
one or two hours later in getting in hay
or grain, the farmer can well afford to

on one occasion saw one Of them place an

against them. Finally last night one Of
the gang was quietly arrested. He was
