settlement proposed. There now re-

A NEW WHEAT MARKET.

The agricultural department at
Washington has just made a report
on Omitted States wheat for Eastern
Asia" This report shows that for
the fiscal year just closed wheat
flour to the equivalent of 100000
bushels of wheat has been shipped to
Japan and China, and that the mar
ket there is growing. The major
part of this shipment was made to
Japan, hut wheat consumption in
China is said to be increasing and it is
likely to soon become quite mar
ket. The production of wheat in
Japan is not increasing in proportion
to the population according to statis-
tics, which shows an increasing de-
pendence upon the wheat fields of
other countries. 1t is believed that
tine Orient will become an important
outlet for our surplus wheat. The
report concludes in the following
words:
Clearly, then, these oriental coun-
tries are well worth the attention
of the American wheat grower, es-
pecially now that Russia Argentina
and other great wheat producing
countries are competing with us so
strongly for the European market. 1t
may be that in the future eastern
Asia will afford yield enough for the
disposal Of our surplus wheat to Offset
all possible losses in the markets of
Europe.
That there is a market in the
orient that should be cultivated by
the wheat growers of this country
there is no doubt and in the increas-
ed consumption of wheat the fierce
competition in the worlds market
will be somewhat relieved. But the
wheat growers of this country should
not delude themselves into the be-
lief that a market can be built up
there that will be an exclusive outlet
for American wheat. When the mar
ket becomes at all valuable, it will be
found that other nations will be on
hand to help supply the demands
Russia. when it completes it's Siber-
ian railway, will not only be near at
hand to furnish supplies of wheat,
but the road will open up vast
wheat field that will soon thereafter
put upon the worlds market an i'm
mense quantity of wheat. But the
opening up of this new market will
help to remove the somewhat con-
gested condition that the worlds
market has been in for the past few
years and cause the competition of
the nations supplying surplus of
wheat to be less sharp than it other
wise would be.

brick buildingsbetween the two main
buildings of the works.
Two iron kettles are kept in the
building, with furnace fires under
meath, to heat up the mixture
of water PROBING material to a
temperature of $50 degrees.
The supply of wood had run out, and
boards were used as material this
morning, and it may be that the hot
fire caused too great temperature in
the kettles, or it may be that
damper that was closed ought to have
been open. In any event, an
explosion occurred, and Immediately
afterwards the!entire interior Of the
room was filled with flames. The
kettles hold many barrels of material,
and this furnished excellent food for
the flames. Before the alarm was
turned in, two streams of water were
turned on the adjoining buildings

possible spread of the fire. The fire
department soon had water on, but
the material in the building had to
burn itself out, which took some
time.
Owing to the purpose for which the
building is used, no insurance is car
ried upon it, although this'is the first
time fire has occurred in it. The
loss is estimated by Mr.. M. G. Will
lard at $3.50, in case the kettles can
not be ,used again. If the kettles
were not injured, the loss will not ex-
coed 800. The brick walls were not
injured, and there was little about
the building that could be damaged
by fire.
Engineer E. w. Clark was in the
room three minutes before the ex-
plosion, and Waterproofer Joe Meyer
was close by, but was uninjured.
