Wheat Moving Lively.

A prominent grain buyer informed
US Friday that the wheat market,
which has been unusually dull for
several months past, is picking up
lively now and grain is moving rap
idly. The market has been growing
steadily stronger for the past two
weeks. The increase 10 the amount
Of wheat brought ia since the rains
has been very marked. This is due TO
the confident feeling among the farm.
ers over the crop outlook for 1898.
Many farmers are dispOsing of all of
their 1897 crop on the strength Of the
outlook for the future. There are
hundreds Of thousands of bushels Of
Sumner county wheat still in the bin,
but the greater portion OF it will no
doubt 20 TO the market within the
next few months. The prices being
paid by the local buyers are the high
est. Good hard wheat brings 50 cents

this quality OF wheat brought 10 here
daily.
Much of the wheat money is being

invested in farming land. Numerous
instance of this kind have reached us.
j. A. Felt II MayieId, the other day
sold his wheat which he had been
holding, and is looking for a farm 10
which TO invest the proceeds. A good
proportion Of the proceeds of the 1897
Sumner county wheat crop will be
used TO buy the land upon which the
wheat was grown.

Everyday Heroes.

The world is full Of real heroes, aud
the number OF heroes has never been
greater than it is now. nor has the
heroism ever been nObler than it Is in
the everyday walks Of life. The Hia-
watha World cites a case in point. 1t
says: "The hall Of the Brakeman's
lodge in this city has never been with
out Grape. The rule OF the order is to
display the Grape sign OF mourning
for thirty days, and there's never a
month that fails to produce another
victim. Mr.. Kipling has written OF
the Gloucester fisherman drowned at
sea whose names are read aloud once
a year at public meeting. So many
brakemen are killed each year 10 the
United States that the list could not
be read at any single meeting. And
what do our people do to make our
train men happier? Do they hunt
them up and invite them to visit them
and TO attend sOcials, parties,
churches and entertainments? They
ought to do so. We feel more real
sympathy for railroad men than for
men Of any other calling. The rail-
road mans hard life entities him to
considerable love and sympathy"

Seine Requirements that will be Found
Indispensable.


The universal article OF diet in
that country, depended upon
and indispensable, is bread or

or upon the trail, yeast cannot be used

powder manufactured by the pro-

will stand in that peculiar climate OF
cold and dampness and raise the
bread aud biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one prospecting to 90 to Alaska

experiment in food, or try to econo-
nlze with your stomach. For use in
such climate and under the trying
aud fatiguing conditions OF life and
labor in that country, everything
must be the best and most useful.
and above all it is imperative that all
food supplies shall have perfect keen

over such difficult and expensive
routes an article that will deterio-

great part OF its value.
There is no better guide to follow
In these matters than the advice OF
those who have gone through similar

1t is strange" and carries further,
but above all things, it is the only
powder that will endure the severe
climatic changes Of the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the
U. S. Government 10 its relief expedi-
tions, and Peary, the famous arctic
traveller, have carried the Royal Bak-
ing Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and
is the most highly concentrated and
efficient of leavening agents. Hence
it is indispensable to every Alaskan
outfit. 1t can6e had Of any of the
trading companies in Alaska, but
