The Greatest Wheat Season.

The greatest season by far in the his
tory of the wheat and flour exporting
trade of Tacoma and Puget Sound is
drawing to a close. The aggregate
value of those commodities shipped
from the sound since the opening of
the season, September l, last, reached
the hansome sum of $8,962,O00.
The number of cargoes of grain sent
foreign this season is seventy-One. The
next largest season fleet in the history
of the sound was that of 1928, and
amounted to sixtytwo. Last years
cargoes numbered forty-eight, giving a
gain this season of twenty-three.
Four more ships are engaged to load
old crop wheat at Tacoma within the
next few weeks. There is grain
enough on the sound to probably
swell the fleet two or three more YES
sells, making the grand total nearly
eighty vessels and the grand total of
the seasons wheat and flour ship
ments, with what will go via steamers
to coastwise and foreign ports, to $1O,-
100000.
The money left on Puget Sound by
the grain ships of the season will add
another handsome sum to the aggre-
gate. The average expenditure of each
vessel is $500, making an aggregate
for fleet of eighty ships, the prospec-
tive total, of $25O,OOO.

Has a Mortgage on Patriotism.

Gan American C )mmoner," rs he Is
pleased to term himself, tries to find
fault with the administration for de-
laying the decisive blow against the
Spaniards to end the war. There was
a time when some hot headed and un-
reasonable people did condemn what
they thought was dilatOry tactics, but
all those with any degree OF patriotism
and common sense have long since
come to see that this country's inter
ests were in the hands of safe and sea-
soned veterans.
The same person, writing in the
Tribune, in the course of his rambling
TRADE he says: "The people OF Jason
County should forego party prefeien ces
and friendships sake and vote for q
man that stands, first, last and always
for Cuba and the Stars and Stripes, in
stead of Wall street brokers, whose et-
forts prolonged the strife in attempt
ing to prevent it, and thus keep up
their prices"
1t might be interesting to know
how our friend reasons this out. Per
haps he has ambitions or he may have
friend who needs "stake" to start
him up in business. Perish the
thought; he has mortgage on patriot
ism, although it has just come to light.
Does he remember the u immOrtals
who were tempted by British gold and
fell, selling their souls for "mess Of
pottage." sized according to the value
of their votes, in the late lamented
legislature. We trow not.
The "McGraw ring" is dead, but if
our friend will keep his eyes open, he
will discover select coterie under his
nose and within his own party, which
is very much alive, and he may be call
ed upon to knuckle and eat hay, or
rather his glibly flung structures upon
the "monopolistic trusts" etc.

FRACTURED HIS SKULL.
John Flannelly Held for As
saulting a Feeble Minded
Man.

years old. Of No. S14 Sixth street, was

the night of May 80. The assault occur
red at Sixth street and Newark avenue,
just below the West Shore Railroad
bridge. Donnelan's skull was fractured.
He was in the hospital until yesterday.
The assault rendered Donnelan uncon-
scious.
1t was days before he was Identified at
the City Hospital. 1t was thought at first
that his injury had affected his mind as
he did not seem to comprehend any of
the questions put to him, Warden Os-
born learned, however, from the mans
friends that he was simple minded for
some time before the assault. When
taken to Court this morning to TESTIFY
against Flannelly, Donnelan could not re-
member anything of the assault nor could
he answer intelligently any of the ques-
tions put to him by Police Justice Nevln.
Flannelly was held on the testimony of
Benjamin Care, of No. 81 Ferry street,
who was on his way home and witnessed
the assault. He saw F~lannelly and an
other man attack Donnelan as he was
walking up Newark avenue and asked
him for money. When it vas refused
them Flannelly struck Donnelan and fell
ed him to the sidewalk. He struck on
the back of his head. 1t was first thought
he would never recover from his injury.
