T. O'Brien parades from the house
to the hotel and vice versa. with a
shade of care on his otherwise jovial
face and it has been whispered that
he sometimes says 'cus. I won't vouch
for that, but fresh men are CON

hotel and for some reason they jump
the job too often, and Tim thinks the
work does not progress as fast as it
might, but it is drawing to close.
Where am dat niger? That there
IS mig In the fence there can be but
little doubt but how to get him out Is
the difficulty. There is no question
that the Minneapolis millers want all
our No. ! hard and they want it at a
price that they can put their flour in
the Europeon markets to beat the
millers In those places, thereby maxi
ing a large trade for the miller here
with large dividends. 1t is an OUT
rage the manner that the fine wheat
of this year is graded and anyone can
see the careful manner In which the
Minneapolis mills are c0rraling the
best wheat in u most particularly
quiet way, at prices that are as bad
as highway robbery.
There is no doubt the wheat is
turning out well but not SO large as
they would make out, for they never

where heard several times Of $500
bushels having been threshed of
100 acres. l found out afterwards
that the facts we're that there had
been 1900 threshcd of the 100 acres,
and the next farms not being sum-
mer- fallowed went 1850 bushels. that
is about as it really is throughout the
whole state, but there Is one fact
never mentioned, which is that there
is noe more than Is per cent Of wheat
acreage compared with any 'fOrmer
year, and it is conceded that the
stocks throughout the world are low
er than for four years. Wheat both
in Duluth and Minneapolis sell as
quickly as 1t arrives and IL twenty
times the amount arrived there is
little doubt but it would be mauipu-
lated just as quickly and as quietly.
Then it is an acknowledged fact that
our Red River Valley wheat will make
more flour by weight by ten per cent.
than any other wheat grown, and only
half a crop in the winter wheat dis
tricts, shows US very plainly that mig
ger has got us pretty tight. II this
valley gets strong enough to join the
Canadian Northwest to down wire
