SHIPPING WHEAT WEST. AT the gen.
eral freight Office Of the Northwestern
railroad it was stated yesterday that
shipments of wheat for feeding pur-
poses into the drouth area west Of the
Mississippi average about fifty cars
daily by that road, the bulk of It com
ing from Kansas, which is well sup.
piled with low grade wheat. At the
Burlington freight office it was stated
that shipments of wheat for feeding
purposes sometimes amount to 100
cars in single day. From the fore
going it would look as If all Of the
western roads were shipping, possibly,
500 cars in the territory west of the
Mississippi river for feed alone, equiva-
lent to about 300, 900 bushels per day

value of Cold Storage.

With the introduction of the tele-
phone, electric appliances of all sorts
and the scores of improvements that
every year brings us, facilities for cold
storage will come in time, and no very
long time at that, says New York
Ledger. 1t will be among the easy
possibilities to have a series of pipes So
arranged that air at very low tenn
perature will be supplied to households
in the same way as we now get water
and gas. When that day comes, house
keeping will have lost at least one Of
its terrors. The possibility of pur-
chasing supplies in reasonable quantity
and feeling assured that they win not
spoil on account of the ice running out,
win be a comfort that every house
holder will appreciate. Half OF the
cost Of living in some families comes
from waste because of no facility for
keeping articles purchased. Stale
food is objected to on the score Of
health as well as taste, and ought
never to be used under any circum-
stances. The atmosphere of all dense
" populated districts is too full
of disease germs to make it safe

Experiments to Be Made With the Plant at
East FerndaIe
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-An extended
Investigation of much Importance to the
commercial interests of the country, hav-
Ing in view the determination of the DOS
sibility of growing fax mere successfully
for fiber has been decided upon by the
agricultural department. The work will
be begun at once and will cover this
season and doubtless will extend to mex:
year. The experiments will be conducted
at East Ferndale, Washington. Agricul-
stural officials believe that this region il
best adapted to flax growing in view of
its damp, moist climate. and the best flax
raised in this country, practically all of
which'is for oil purposes and none tor
use as fiber, is said to be raised in the
vicinity OF Puget sound. The investipa-
tiuns will involve expenditures aggresat-
ing at least 800. 600 and will be in charge
of DR.. A. W. Thornton, the agent of the
department there, who will be assisted by
an expert Belgian, who has been in this
country some time. The experiments
are regarded as of great i'm portance and
will be watched with much interest by
manufacturers. The work will be begun
at once and the flax after being grown
and treated will be sent to the factories
The manufacture of the fiber will prob;
ably be done voluntarily by establish
ments anxious as to the possibility of
having flax evolved into fiber, instead of
importing it from ABROAD.

JUMPING GOVERNOR BUDD
Disappointed Officer Seekers Say Bitter
Things
Accused Of Political Treachery and Bad
Faith With Those Who Stood
by Him

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Dr. Marc
Levingston, unsuccessful candidate for
health officer of this city, and DIR. Will
liam Garrison. Miner, who wanted to be
city physician or quarantine officer, are
saying very bitter things about Governor
Budd since their defeat DR.. Mizner, in
an interview, today plainly accuses the
governor OF political treachery. and tells
at length of ante.election promises made
to himself and DR.. Levingston by Budd.
He said: 1.-Two days before the conven-
tion Budd came to me and said he was
a candidate for governor and wanted me
to help him. He said if would stand in
that in event of his election would be
amply repaid for my trouble. l told him
l would assist him and kept nv word.
got all of my friends to work for Budd
and induced the Solano delegation to go
for him when they saw that Spencer of
Nevada had no show.
After the election and even after
Budd's Inauguration he frequently told
me that | would either be health officer.
quarantine officer or city physician, and
gave me to understand that the position
for me was just as good as fixed. Now I
am left out in the cold, and realize tn at
owe an apology to everybody to whom
low.
"Dr. .Levingston had an experience
similar to my own. Budd was profuse
in his professions of friendship to the
doctor, and every time he saw him would
say, %, you will be health officer. sure.
He openly declared that he woula clip
the wings of the mem bers OF the board Of
health as fast as they would refuse to vote
for Or. Levingstone. He talked SO much
about Levingston that he brought the
enmity and criticism of the Civic Fed
Grafton.
"Wlfen that organization began the at
tacks on DR.. LevingstOn, Budd said to
him, Sue them; go after them He
eggeed the doctor on. l now think he did
IT simply to obtain an excuse to down
the doctor. AS soon as it came time to
elect board of health, Budd overlooked
the doctor like white chip, and selected
q board known to be antagonistic to, DR..
Levingston.;
, "Dr. Levingston received this kind of
treatment from Budd after helping him
not only through the campaign, but after
showing him other favors. After the cleo
tion the Fair case came on. Early in
January Budd came to see DR.. r.Levingston.
For Gods sake, get me in on the Fair
ease, II you can, he said to the doctor.
Well, am friendly to Charlie. replied
Levingston, and I'll do what I can.

the Fair case and got contract for $780,
900 from Charlie FAIR. This fee goes to
him regardless of re ults. After the con-
tract was signed Budd became afraid it
might he defective. so he had another
an ironclad contract-drawn up for the
same fee and Charlie signed it. This big
fee. which Budd will get. no matter how
the case is decided. is really gift to him
from DR.. Levineston. for without he
DOCTORS aid it is very doubtful whether
Budd could have got himself in .on the
case.n
