The OutIo0k for wheat.

The shortage in the 1896 wheat crop oil
India and Australia has caused an unus
ual demand for American wheat, and II
is evident that sll of this years crop will
be consumed before the next crop is
ready for market, consequently prices
should be high again next year. Last
week the price for May wheat reached a
dollar bushel on the Toledo exchange
and even a higher price is predicted. The
severe weather in the middle states and
the northwest will no doubt freeze great
area OF winter sown grain, but the ex-
tent of the damage cannot be told as yet.
Commenting on the wheat outlook, the
Mark Lane Express OF Nov. 23d says:
"We expect that the decrease Of the
French wheat acreage in 1897, owing to
the lateness Of the seeding season, will
be much larger than the increase in this
country. The sowings of Azima wheat
in Russia are admitted to be small
err than usual. The rise in prices has
stimulated the Russian markets and
the line Of spring Ghirka sowings is like
ly to offset the Azima deficiency. We
must await further news from India be-
fore concluding that the drought is over.
An injury has been in any event done
and there cannot be any wheat available
for export prior to April, 1898. Australia
is importing California wheat and has no
surplus available for shipment to Eu.

New York Letter: Cuba is the richest
island 10 the sea. Out OF $4,000 square
miles, an area but trifie larger than
Kentucky, only 5000 square miles have
ever been touched. From this limited
district taxes to the amount of from $685.
100000 to $4,000, 900 have annually
been paid to Spain. 1t has inexhausti-
bic beds of magnetic iron ores, superior
to those OF Lake Superior, and quite equal
to those OF Spain and Sweden. for which
English steelmakers pay such fancy
prices. II has lakes of asphslt equal to
that OF Trinidad. 1t has as fine hard
wood timber as any to be found in the
tropics. 1t has deep, black soil OF in
exhaustible fertility that produces the
finest tobacco and the richest sugar cane
in the world. It has splendid hsrbors.
II has delightful climate throughout
the year in the interior where yellow
fever is unknown and in its seaport cities,
during the winter, it is swept by halmy
and delightful breezes. The seaports
are unhealthy 10 summer only, because
every sanitary law is systematically yio-

80 far, only the lands most easily and
cheaply irrigated have been Withdrawn.
Yet this acreage will, when watered, sup
port $500 families. Surveys, estiin ates
and maps preliminary to withdrawal OF
about 5000 acres OF land on Crab creek
have been made. and are now pending
before the United States general land
office. Other lands in the state may be
added to the Withdrawals sufficient to
bring the total acreage to the possible
million conditlonally granted, though at
a greater cost for surveys and reclama-
ton. These are notably lands lying in
Franklin and Adams counties, in Lincoln
and southern Douglas counties and in
Okanogan. Possible means for reclaim
ing these lands and rendering them
profitably habitable have been consider
ed.
1T is the opinion Of the commissioner
that in the interest of economy it is TO
the states interests to first contract for
retaining the lands already selected,
and steps looking to this and the coloniz-
alton of these lands have already been
taken, with reasonable hope for success
within the coming year"

IT HAS RUN FOR YEARS
A Portland Man Claims to Have q
Perpetual Notion" Machine.
IT WILL REYOLUTIONlZE RAILROADS
Prospects for wheat Next Year
Judge Sharpstctn Talks OF Re.
trenchment aud Reform IN state
Affairs-The Presidential Vote.

Paul Heilbrun, an employe OF the
Southern Pacific company, at Portland,
claims he has solved the problem of per.
petual motion. This creator-for he can.
not be classed as an inventor--says that
in 1891 he perfected an engine that ran
365 successive days by air generated
through its own motion.
At the expiration of that time 1t ceased
operation because of scarcely percepti-
BILE leakage in one OF the air generative
tubes. 1t WAS three months ere he dis.
covered this trouble. Now, he says, IN g
engine has been running four years with.
out cessation by the self-generating air
process alone.
"None but my wife and myself have
set eyes upon my great work." said Mr..
Heilbrun, land none shall" till return
from Washington, ID. c., with patent.
shall endeavor to patent every
minute detail OF my work so as
to escape future litigation with imi-
tators. Regarding my work I'll say this
without Usefulness, that it will super.
cede electricity and steam. The genera
ton OF air, according to my process, costs
nothing, and my engine will ceaselessly
operate till it is physically worn out.
That's practically perpetual motion, isn't
it?''
Mr.. Heilbrun predicts that In the
course OF few years engines after his
OVID model, but with improvement sug'
gested by brilliant creative minds, will
supplant all other motive power. HIS
enthusiasm leads him to prophesy that
before the close OF the current century
ocean steamships and transcontinental
railway trains will be operated by this
power, and with much more safety than
by steam or electricity.
Mr.. Heilbrun is now past 60 years Of
age, and when the idea first struck him
that the construction of perpetual mo.
ton engine was a possibility he had q
fortune of 100000 All this, besides his
spare earnings, he exhausted in expert.
menting, and in visiting others riding
the same hobby in other parts of the
world, wherever he believed he could
learn something.
