A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
Reasons for Beliefin Higher Wheat
Prices.

Prices.
Farmers who have held their wheat for
ahigher price can be confident of being on
the right side, it the present export rate
keeps up. The receipts at primary points
are rapidly dwindling to the figures of a
year ago, while the export demand. keeps
steady, and is several million bushels
more each week than it was year ago.
1t will be August before the first of the
new crop in Europe is available and long
before that time, the American surplus
will be limited in amount. Wheat
opened with brisker demand in Liver
pool the first of the week and has con.
tinued so. It is claimed by many that
wheat worth dollar a bushel in this
country would not affect the European
demand, and that the grain is considered
cheap by the foreign buyers. After Feb.
l, duty Of 10 cents bushel is to be
taken of wheat in Germany, and that
will undoubtedly induce heavy buying
in this country.
Early in the winter the German mar
ket was largely over stocked by Russian
gram dealers, who knew that the prohl-
bition ukase was to be made, and who
shipped all their surplus wheat out of Rus
sia because they could get better prices
for it abroad than at home. where the
poaaantrv had nothing tO huv with. The
German people want good bread, and
prefer American wheat to the India
wheat, because the latter has less gluten
it. The Russian wheat is very similar
to that Of the northwest, in this country,
and Is therefore largely bought in Ger
many.
The condition of the winter wheat in
America is not reported AZ very favor
able. although Of course it is too early to
predict what the yield will be. The ex-

Hon. Alfred Steel, Acting Mayor of the
City Of jamestown, N. D.:

tract can be brought before Judge Rose,
unless through suit on the part of the
city to compel the specific fultilment
thereof on my part I claim it can be
done by arbitration by any three men,
although 1 will leave that for my attor-
ney, Mr.. Camp, to say. II it cannot be
done by arbitration, then l wish the city
would commence suit at once and have
it decided and settled who is at fault
whether the city or carried out the con-
tract-and until then I will do as per
telegram to you on the 7th inst.
You say the council may consider

Explanation Of the Weather Char,
The weather bureau charts exposed to
pnblic view npon the postofice bulletin
board, present an outline map of the,
United States and Canada, upon which
are shown the stations where weather oh
servatlons are taken daily, at 8 a. M. and
p. m., 10Th meridian time, and tele-
graphed to the principal cities. These
observations consist of readings of the
barometer. thermometer, direction and
velocity of the WIND, state OF sky whether
cloudless or otherwise), and amount of
rain or snow fall. These are entered in
figures and symbols upon the map.
Lines, called lsobars, are drawn through,
or near stations where the barometer.
readings are the same. A seperate one ie
drawn for each difference of one-tenth of
an inch in the height OF the barometer.

wind at each station is Indicated by
arrows, the arrows pointing in the

earnings, Interstate as we'll as local, for
the year 1888, the recent decision of tire
supreme court of the state declaring that
the gross earnings law Is valid, has little
effect here. A good many counties in
which the Northern Pacific has lands un-
nold. refused to accept this method OF
settlement and Joined in bringing suit to
recover taxes for that year from land
valuation. The legislature made it pos.
sible for the company to offer the gross
earnings plan of settlement, and this
county was one of the few that accepted
that method. The counties through
which the main line of the road passes
have of course the advantage, as the
large volume of traffic is on that line.
Recently there were paid into this county
about $4,000 under the settlement au
thor,zed by the law which hasTjust been
declared valid, and the sales of the CON-
pany's lands for taxes of that year were
released. The difference in the amount
of taxes by either method would be
small for this county. Under the state
constitution the Northern Pacific now
pays it's taxes on lands assessed by the
state board of equalization, and has paid
the 1890 tax on such basis, and will pay
the 1891 tax when due. The case decided
by the supreme court establishes no pre-
cedent for future taxation, as such case
cannot arise again. 1t NAV, however, be
appealed, and it's final settlement en-
trusted to the United States supreme
court.
The decision reverses the judgment of
the district court. Judges Mcconnell
and Winchester signed the opinion, they
having sat in the case in place OF Wallin
and Bartholomew who had appeared in
case as attorneys before their election to
the bench. Judge Corliss dissented.
Alliance Men Talk.
Walter Muir: I have my farm cleared
and 1000 acres of as good land as lies in
the Red river valley. Providence has
been with the farmers this year, and has
defeated the designs of my enemies, who
wanted to gee me elected from my farm,
so they could point to an alliance man
whose own affairs were failure. But I
am now Observation-Disclosures not The
Independent, you know.
Hon. E. u. Wallace of Hope: l be-
came dissatisfied with the price offered
me for my wheat, about three years ago,
and shipped car load for trial, after
long delay in getting a car. The result
was I made 800 on the deal. have
shipped my own grain ever since, when
not satisfied with the local offer. A
neighbor of nine told me recently that
he made 18 cents a bushel by shipping.
The railroads have done pretty we'll by
the farmers this year in giving them cars.
The amount of money brought In the
state by those who shipped their own
gram must amount to many thousands
Of dollars, all of which is spent at home.
This helps merchants and business men
and indirectly helps the railroads them
selves. The next thing that We want is
a right to build warehouses and elevators
of small capacity on side tracks, on any
road, and for these warehouses the equal
privileges of cars. This will do away
with many of the complaints now con-
stantly arising.

Pointers for Sheep Growers,

Referring to the clam that there is
necessity for other wools, for effects that
cannot be produced from our English or
Merno blood OF American breeding, a
writer in the Western Rural says that
this Is not SO, or rather that it would not
be so IT our growers were more careful
to diversity the character of wool of the
same quality. At present, Australian
wools are imported in large quantities
and at considerable cost over the same
quality of American Merino. This
is occasioned first by lack of soft
ness and pliabillty of much OF our
American wool, but secondly and prln-
cipally by the improved manner IN which
it is marketed. The Hocks of Australia
are much larger than those Of the United
States and there IS an individuality
about clip that is not to be found here,
and when these woods are offered at auc-
ton in London, which is the way they
are sold, the buyers can select just such
wools as they require for the goods they
are making. The American wool grower
obtains his bucks from the sane source as
his nelghbor and the produce is similar,
the only difference being the difference
produce by the superior care of the one
over the other. For many purposes the
Ohio and Michigan wools excel any other
of the world and today if the supply of
such wools as are imported was unlimited
and the Ohio and Michigan and similar
wools limited, the position of values
would be reversed.
1t is important that every grower
should appreciate what his land,
climate and feed are best adapted for
and breed to that end.
