by the chemistry Of food, but by the ex-

wheat in some form as their staple diet.
From this fact IL Is evident that as the

This is because no nation ever at

foods--ish, meat ientiis and so on--are

necessary, but undesirable. that the whole

Special Correspondence.

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 1T.-Charies A.
Pillsbury. the -four king, consented yes
terday to be interviewed on the subject OF
dollar wheat and the outlook for future
prices of that cereal The following in
terview was submitted by Mr.. PiIlsbury
and by him corrected:
The present condition of the wheat
market said he, lis attributable to
causes which, In my opinion. will keep
the price OF that commodity al high
prices than the average for the past few
years for many years 10 come. AS a mat
ter Of fact, we have unconsciously been
consuming both visible and an invisib bic
supply at a greater rate than We sup
posed, SO that al present the visible and
invisible supply is at the lowest point
known in the history OF the wheat mar
kets.
This fact would have been evident long
ago had il not been for the increased ia
cilities OF transportation which have ena-
bled US to handle small supply so as 10
place ii on the market With great rapid
ity at points where IL was most seriously
needed, but apparently the limit in this
direction has been reached, and with the
bread eaters of the world increasing in
number as rapidly as they have in the past
few years the time must inevitably come
when production must be greater in or
der to supply the legitimate demand.
Too much stress has been laid, think
upon the part that the failure OF the crop
in the Argentine Republic has played in
the upward tendency Of the price OF
wheat. for 1T must be remembered that
the total crop OF that country does not
equal the crop grown in any one Of our
own states Of Minnesota, Kansas and
North Dakota.
ITO these states we must look in this
country for increased acreage and pro-
duction. They are the great wheat pro-
ducers and their farmers only require the
stimulus of a settled price at high fig-
ure. due TO constant demand to induce
them 70 plant more extensively than they
are now doing. II is obvious that il is to
the western and not the central states
that We must look In this country for
more wheat.
"The eastern farmers VIII need con-
stantly mere and more land for grazing
and agricultural purposes. and they can
not hope TO compete with the fertile and
practically boundless territory Of the
great states that / have mentioned. IL is
equally certain that the western farmer
would not feel justified In planting to the
large extent that present conditions seem
to demand IL he thought that the demand

HOBO SMITH THE SLASHER.
Before Justice IngersOEl He VALVES
Preliminary Hearing.

Formal proceedings charging George
Smith with attempting TO xiii Ben De
Camp with & racer were instituted yester-
day afternoon before Justice of the Peace
IngersoIl- After Constable Pike read the
warrant Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Hart recited tie contents of the complaint
Smith took things very cooliy ana simply
said that he desired to waive a prelimin-
airy examination. Justice Ingersoli fixed
Smiths bonds at 81 90. in defaul; OF which
he was committed to the county Jail.
Thomas McKeen. who was with Smith
lat the time the desperate hobo attempted
TO cut De Camps head of because he
would not give him nickel. was held as a
witness. HIS bonds were fixed at $50 and
of course he had to go TO Jail. pending the
trial. which will be called up as soon as
De Camp is able TO De out OF Providence
hospital.
II was learned last evening that Smith
attempted TO assault City Jailer Corbett
month or so ago with razor, while he
was being taken To police headquarters.
If the state brings this out in connection
with the trial for attempting TO kill DE
Camp, 1t will go a long way toward estab-
fishing the allegation that Smith is adj
dieted to the habit Of slashing with his
razor.
