rHArrRANs MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS

| The session of the Trans-M Mississippi
| congress, just closed. at Salt Lake City
proved successful in many respects
and there is not a doubt that the bust
ness interests of this vast region OF
states and territories is becoming more
closely united through the annual meet
ings Of this congress. The transmits
| sissippi region, so-called, IS the NEST in
teresting portion of this continent, as ii
is the hope of the United States. The
greatest mountains and the widest val
leys are embraced in this domain. 1t
has little voice in the affairs Of the gov
eminent but it largely holds the future
of The nation. In one hundred years IT
will dominate the country. The Salt
Lake Tribune, in noting the things &C
complshed by the congress expresses
unbounded faith in its future effective
ness Its next meeting will be at
Wichita. The congress was strongly
for silver. and the Tribune says that
it suspects, however, that were con-
gress of the transatlantic states to be
held to consider the questions Of vital
interest to that region, about the first
resolution TO be passed would be one
congratulating the country on the main
tenance of sound and honest money"
and there would be orators by the score
to hold that it was not in any sense a
party question, but one which went to
the very integrity of the national
finances and concerned every business
man and W.. e-earner in the nation.
The resolurIvn was most proper and
the vote is a fair representation of the
convictions of the west. The resolutions
regarding Hawaii, Cuba and the in-
provement of San Pedro harbor were
likewise fair expressions Of western
sentiment. The ability of the congress
was first class; picked men from Colo
RADIO, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas.
Texas, Montana, Idaho, California and
New Mexico.
There were no serious differences of
opinions, except sometimes a sharp
passage among delegates in some of
the state delegations. The congress
seemed TO be satisfied with its reception
and treatment at Salt Lake City and
went away well satisfied that the meet
ing had been held there The next SEES
sion, which meets at Wichita, will be
nearer the center of Mississippi
population, and the delegations from
Texas Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri,
low and Nebraska will be larger than
at Salt Ike

WHY WHEAT GOES UP.

The steady advance in the price OF
wheat in face of a more than satisfac-
tory harvest in America and good av-
erage in other wheat growing countries,
has proved an economical puzzle to deal
ers and board of trade spectators. And
then again, why should wheat in the
face of a good crop advance in price
more rapidly than corn with prom
ised shortage. but adds 10 the guessing.
1t may be because Liverpool can no
longer fix the price of American wheat.
China, Corea and Japan have begun to
eat bread made Of wheat -four and rhe
demand for flour in these countries is
rapidly increasing American wheat is
moving west in considerable quantities
for export. Nine vessels are now en-
gagged in carrying flour from Puget
Sound to China and Japan. Each
steamer carries COCO tons and they
make six round trips year. There will
be twenty-six new vessels employed in
this trade next year. The aggregate
now being carried by these nine YES
sells is $4,000 tons a year and next
year it will be three times as much
more, or about one million tons.

wire and chemicals. The United
States buys from Hawaii fruits and
agricultural products. With traffic of
this magnitude between Hawaii and
the United States. there are strong
commercial reasons why the islands
should be under the American flag and
trade be as free and unrestricted as
possible.
When it is considered that American
investments in Hawaii exceed in value
the investments of all other foreign ma
-tions combined and that over 80 per
cent of Hawaii's commerce is with
the United States. there appear to be
pretty good reasons from a commercial
standpoint why the annexation treaty
should be confirmed.
