WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE bureau
of American republics is informed that
the present crop OF wheat and wool in
the Argentine Republic are the largest
ever known in that country and the
railway Companies are preparing for
busy season, to rec6up themselves for
the great falling off in business during
the financial depression. 1t is stated
that there is no line of railway in the
country that has rolling stock enough
to carry the products to market The
immense crops have also caused revi'
val of immigration, and thousands OF
foreigners are now arriving at Buenos
Ayres, seeking employment in the ag'
ricultural districts during the harvest.
Wages have been doubled and trebled'
and even quadfupled in some districts.

1t was rumored yesterday afternoon
that a meeting was held by the following
gentlemen: T. G.. Nicklin, Knox, FOuts,
Martin, Hopkins, Brown and Simpson.
The object of the meeting being substan-
tally in finding ways and means for a
dissolution of the consolidation. AttOr-
ney Fairchild has been engaged to declare
that the laws governing cities of the
third-claSs are unconstitutional. Mayor
VIII ID. Jenkins when asked what he
thought of these proceedings, said:
"Shoud the impossible grow possible
will put in the summer hunting and fish
ing Others who are aware Of the move
ment on foot say that in case disincorpora-
ton should ensue it would give New
WhatcOm a set back from which it would
take decade to recover from. 1t is
hardly probable that any court would
sustain any similar proposition as the
majority Of citizens are well satisfied
with things, municipality as they are and
the election for consolidation having been
almost unanimously. Some of the above
named citizens object to be assessed by
City Assessor l.. Marcy, claiming that the
consolidation is Illegal, and that the old
charter of WhatcOm provides for the city
assessment roll to be duplicate of the
county roll. They refuse TO give list of
their property.
