ought not to rely on wheat raising

1t is only when there is almost total
failure abr DAD as a year ago that a price
can be obtained for wheat that will yield
even a living profit. Cheese on the
other hand is yielding q good profit all
the while. The industry is new in the
west and now is the time to go into it
for profit. The Northwestern Creamery
Journal for September quotes the high

cheese in the Minneapolis market as

10 cents; Limburger, No. /, So to 8

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-1n o report
to the state department upon the For.
mosa tea trade. United States Consul
johnson, at Annoy. after showing that
the great tea trade at hat center to the
United States was only saved from
absolute ruin by the creation Of the tea
commission Of the United States, goes
on TO say that Americans may be sur.
prised to hear it generally conceded
among experts that there is no country
in the world where q finer cup OF tea
can be secured than in the first class
hotels in America, and the private
houses where an effort is made to prop
erly prepare 1t.
The consul says the principal mer'
chants at Annoy tell him that but for
the timely appearance OF the tea com
mission, pure teas would either have
been driven from our shores or confined
to a high priced article within reach OF
but a small percentage Of the presen
number Of consumers.

that he had written to Acting Mayor Guggenhelmer
on the subject. and that he had also talked 10 Al
dorman Cronln. The latter. Mr. Ryan said. had told
hun that he wa glad that the subject had been
brought up. and thai he would be In favor OF the
massage OF an ordinance compelling the sire"tcar
companies to MAKE the steps Of all cars uniform
