In recent interview Eli Perkins said,
in reply to the question, "Whcn will the
northwestern farmer be prosperous?":
"He will be prosperous" said Mr.. Per-
klns, "whcn he can get dollar bushel
for wheat"
| And when will that comc?"
1T will never come from Europe. En-

this country, because she Can always buy
wheat for rs cents in Sweden and Nor

wheat Is worth n dollar busbcl in Min

England. But dollar wheat will very soon
come In this country, through increased
home consumption and decrease in its
production. The surplus wheat which

and the farmer will be on top again and
the consuming manufacturer will be un-

"Well, first, the cheap Canadian wheat

The old spirit of confidence in North
Dakota is returning. 1t is refreshing to
read encouraging words. The following
from the jamestown Alert reads like the
