settlements along the valley have been
talking of taking out water to supply
their various communities but as yet
no decisive step has been taken. Presi-
dent Parkinson has conceived a. plan,
which is more than likely to be carried
out, to unite all these communities in
the construction of one canal which
should furnish the water for all With
this idea in view, the president has
called upon all the settlements inter
ested to appoint a committee of two to
accompany him on this trip, to look
over the ground and advise with him as
to the FEASIBILITY of his scheme. This
committee is with him today on Bear
river looking over q proper location for
a dam where adequate water for the
proposed irrigating purposes could be
had. At the end of this investigation,
should everything look favorable,
company viii be organized and early
next spring surveyors will be sent out
TO lay out the line of the canal and
work on the project started at once.
The undertaking is a grand one and
would furnish a sufficient water supply
for over 100000 acres of as fine land as
there is in the northwestern country.

DELIVERY OF FREIGHT.
Important Order Expected From the
Interstate Commission.


Washington, Nov 1O.-The indications
are that the interstate commerce COM
mission VIII issue an order in compli-
ance with the petition of the Ameri-
can WarehOusemen's association
against the railroads of the country, re-
curing the railroad companies to pub
lish on their tariff sheets and otherwise
a uniform time for completing the de-
livery of freight of all classes.
The opinion is expressed that this
will be found to be permissible under
sections .. 3 and of the interstate
commerce act, and also under the decis-
ions Of the supreme court. 1t is be-
lieved that the order viii be satisfac-
tory to the Warehousemen and the rail-
road managers The order viii be in
trOduced to meet the complaint of the
warehouse holders that the practice
which has grown up among railroads
in giving free storage to shippers in
order to get business has grown up to
a discrimination in favor of the ship
pers, who, by the extent of their bust
ness, are able to force the concession
from the roads. The final hearing in
the case arising under the petition to
take place before the commission yes
terday. and the representatives of the
railroads admitted that the free stor-
age system had grown to be an abuse
which they We're not able to control.
Sixty-nine railroads were complained
of in the petition.
The case was first heard at Chicago
last June. and since then there have
been hearings at Cincinnati, Louisville,

A TALK WITH ANDREE.
The Aeronaut Recognized the Danger
Of His Undertaking.

Jonas Stading, who accompanied An
dree to Danes Island and Witnessed
his departure toward the north pole,
contributes to the November Century
an article entitled "Andree's fight into
the Unknown" This is accompanied
by a number OF interesting photo
graphs, including several of the balloon
after it had been cut loose and had be-
gun it's flight Mr.. Stadling says:
The aerOnauts were impatient to start
this year. They had decided to wait for
really favorable winds until the nth of
July After that date they were pre-
pared to start with a less favorable
wind.
In my talks with them about the risks
and dangers of their undertaking, they
said at various times:
we have taken all into account. We
are prepared to face whatever may
happen"
Suppose the balloon should burst" 1
asked; what them
I'VE shall be drowned or crushed
Suppose you alight on the pack-ice,
far away in the desolate polar regions;
what will you dO?"
I'VE shall do our best, and work our
way back as far as possible. Having
during these last years thought, work
ed and calculated in preparing for this
expedition we have, so to speak, men
tally llNeu through oil pOSSlDIlIt leo
Now we only desire to start and have
the thing finished some way or other"
While talking about home and the
loved ones their faces would assume a
more serious expression, and a faint
culver Of the voice might be noticed;
but there was no wavering of purpose.
when may we begin to hope to hear
from yOu?' L asked.
AT least not before three months;
and one year, perhaps two years, may
elapse before you hear from US, and
you may one day be surprised by news
of our arrival somewhere. And if not
if you never hear from us-others will
! follow in our wake until the unknown
| regions in the north have been sur
veyed.
Those who think the expedition a feat
of fOolhardiness should remember that,
humanity speaking. all possible precaU-
lions were taken toward securing a safe
voyage. 4 new and larger balloon
might have been made during the pre-
vious winter. but Andree preferred TO
enlarge the old one: besides, a larger
balloon 1EuId have been still more dife
fcult to handle.

AMERICANS IN LONDON
Steady With Union Pacific as the

New York, Nov 1o.-Evening Posts
London financial cablegram:
The speeches at the lord mayors
banquet last night had good effect
on stocks generally and all the mar
kets were strong today except kaffirs.
Americans are steadily rising. There
was a fair but cautious demand for
them here today and the close was
practically at the best with Union Pa
cific as the feature of strength.
Gold was i'll strong demand. Forty
thousand pounds in eagles was sold
by the Bank of England today, 1 I'M
derstand, for the continent, but TO one
is quite sure.
The Indian government announces a
further suspension of weekly with
drawals for at least four weeks. Money
is tighter. Probably nearly e1,O00,000
has been borrowed from the banks,
thus confirming my former cables that
the market would be more or less in the
banks hands until Christmas. There
were large dealings in tin and copper
mines. The Berlin market was weak.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Strengthened on Unfavorable
Argentine Crops.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Wheat started
with bulge of 13s@1s4 for May, open
ing trades in that option ranging from
901@@907s, and a somewhat excited de-
mand existing at those figures. The
cause was the wholly unexpected jump
at Liverpool, where advances of from
~ to 21s per bushel were recorded
before trading commenced here. This
it was soon explained was due to
Buenos Ayres dispatch to the London
Times stating that the wheat and flax
crops of Argentine had been severely
injured by frosts. Great efforts were
made to discredit the frost news but it
was too well authenticated to be dis
believed. The only possible uncertain
ty connected with the matter was as
to the demand and it gave scare to
the short sellers.
The opening advance of course at
tracted selling orders from people who
considered the rise too sharp and sud
den to be maintained. Such selling
kept the price from getting higher than
it opened for about an hour, but all the
efforts of the heavies and shorts who
refused to buy on the bulge but dare
do nothing to help depress it but in
the way of talking it down. could not

from the highest point of the opening
range. The market sold down very
gradually to 90A, then back and forth
between that price and 90A, but by
noon was selling around Gle. In some
respects the news was bearish, chiefly
in connection with domestic receipts.
Chicago had 104 cars inspected into
store against 40 a year ago. Mime
apolis and Duluth got 1190 cars against
All the corresponding day of 1896.
The acceptance from abroad of wheat
offered by cable yesterday and the day
before resulted in the largest sales eff
fected in any similar previous time this
season. What came to the strengthen
ing of the market at such times as the
belitting of the Argentine news was
was done it was reported that 125 boat
loads, 100000 bushels, has been sold
for export. The market ruled strong
near the end, May closing at 90B@ 91.
Corn was very firm, particularly for
December, but trade at no time was
very active The market was helped
principally by the tpturn in wheat.
Oats was usually active. The open
ing was strong following wheat and

houses had advanced Is. The advance
was somewhat curtailed on selling on

Union Pacific Wants It.

Omaha, Nov. 10.-Regarding the
Kansas Pacific, the sale of which has
been postponed to Dec Is, the officials

est belief that the Union Pacific reor-
ganization committee can successfully
buck the Chicago & Alton of the Mis-
souri, Pacific & Iron Mountain system
for control of the Kansas Pacific. They
base their belief on the amount of the
first mortgage bonds in the Kansas Pa

ization committee and by the many
pieces Of property which would be in
dispute should any purchaser but the
Union Pacific reorganization commit

Union Pacific wanted the Kansas Pa

Light Sales, But Prices Are Some
what Firmer.
Boston, Nov. 1O.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade:
Nearly every house in Boston has re-
ported light sales for the week but
there have been some special transac-
tions confined almost entirely to deal
ings between different wooden firms,
aggregating at least 100000 pounds.
Deductlng this sum from 5,137, 900
pounds this figure representing the en-
tire business in Boston since our last
report), and we find that what may
be called the purely normal trade of
the week did not greatly exceed 100000
pounds Prices are somewhat firmer.
Sales of fleece, territory and other do
mestic woods have been light. Very
fair sales of foreign, particularly Aus
tralians, have been made.
Sales in Boston for the week aggre-
gated 5,317 900 pounds of which 1859, 900
pounds we're domestic and 3,43S,00O
pounds foreign.
