A GOOD
HOME MARKET

WAsHINGToN, d. c., Aug. II --Secre-
tary of Agriculture James Wilson, who
has been making careful study of the
domestic and foreign demand Tor wheat
this year. says:
"The outlook for good prices was never
better. We have shortage in the Amer
ican wheat crop this year which will
probably amount to 100 ,ooo, 900 bushels.
This alone would serve TO make the pres
ent yield more valuable. There are adj
ditional reasons, however, which incline
me to believe that wheat will make a
marked advance before the end of the
present year. The primary cause for en-
advance is the condition aud outlook of
the home market. There is unexampled

to assume the duty at once, according to a
dispatch to the Herald from Washington.
Rear Admiral Remey has cabled that he
opposes the detailing Of Hobson for any
such duty. He adds that If the constrnc
tor is able to undertake work in the field
he is in a position to return 10 Manila or

there will be 1000 destitute at the close
of navigation. | request that | be au-
thorized to send all destitute persons out
of the country by any vessel available in
case army transports are not here. A
post site has been selected at the mouth
of Nome river, three and half miles
east of Nome. The work of construc-
ton is now progressing rapidly"
General Randall recommends that the
new post be named Davis,in honor of Gen.
Jefferson G. Davis who commanded the
first troops in Alaska. He a'so reports
that he has chartered the tugboat Meteor
and has collected the destitute natives
between Sinrock and Topkuk and en-
camped them on the beach east of the
Nome river. The commanding officer of
that country has been directed To furnish
subsistence and medical assistance Re-
ports indicate that natives all along the
coast are dying of measles and pneu-
monia. Smallpox hes been checked, no
new cases being reported in II days.
All the recommendations of General
Randall above noted have received the
hearty approval of the secretary of war.

paid the city visit over Sunday. going
out on the boat this morning. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Hewett. sister-in-
law and a niece. The party started to
tonr the National Park, but diverted to
this city and the coast, owing to the un-
pleasant conditions Of travel on the Park
route. MIR. Hewett in the Sos developed
the old Democrat mine in Pierce very
thoroughly. He ran 1000 feet of tunnel
and installed good machinery. He af-
terwards abandoned the property, not in
tentionally, but as he asserts, owing to
neglect Of agents. Thousands Of dollars
worth of machinery was left on the
ground and the workings fell in. All
became total loss to Mr.. Hewett, while
he was engrossed with large enterprises
in Chicago.
Mr.. Hewett is now wealthy manutac-
turer of automobiles, printing presses
and other high class machinery and cleo

many other enterprises throughout the
country.

Weary of War.

LONDON. Aug. II The way the South
African war drags out wears upon En-
glishmen, and no news would be as well
come as that some we'll wisher of the
Transvaal had convinced President Kru-
ger that nothing i'll Europe or China will
make Great Britain relex her overnight
ening grip on South Africa. Everybody
i'll the ARMY, or who has anything to do
with it i'll South Africa, wants To come
home, and is heartily sick of the whole
thing. But, knowing that it must go on
to finish, the dregs of war are having
some bitterness.
The plot to kill British officers at Pre-
toria is taken in England as showing the
savage temper Of the Beers, while the
Britishers are reported to be doing some
things which are provoking adverse COM
ment in Great Britain. Thus the Stand
ard prints a Pretoria dispatch, dated Aug.
9, saying:
"The Beers sniped train at Bronx
hurst yesterday on the line between Pre-
toria and Middelbure. Two of its occn-
pants were wounded. In accordance with
Lord Roberts warming, all of the farms
we're fired within radius of 10 miles.
Even the English papers say there
must be mistake somewhere. A couple
of Beers FIRE at a military train, perfectly
within their rights as warriors, and every
farm house within 10 miles in every
direction is committed to the flames.

story on woman who was living there.

room, seeming to be greatly frightened
over even seeing a railroad man.
In regard to the freight rates, Mr.. Mel
| len said:
1--WE have not made any effort to dis
criminate on freight rates in favor of
Lewiston, but what we have done is to

land and Spokane. / am very much i'm
pressed with Lewiston and think that
the city will in time be a point of great
commercial value, the city being so geo.
graphically located that everything for
miles around points to Lewiston, and
from the further fact that the town has
grown from its incipiency based on prac-
tically nothing to build itself but its own
resources,
Mr.. Mellen remarked somewhat on the
heat today while in the city, but said
that we were really fortunate to have
such beautiful, cool evenings, which he
thought were delicious.
President Mellen and party stopped at
the l.. A. Porter fruit ranch for an hour
before arriving in the city today and the
party were shown over the large orchards
and vineyards and were wined and dined
before leaving. On their way out Mr..
Porter stopped the special aud presented

fruit and Idaho wines.

President Mellen was seen by TELLER
reporter and in answer to question as to
whether the N. p. contemplated new
building on the Clearwater line very
soon, he said
mo, there will be no further building
this year on the N. P. lines in this sec
ton. However we have extended our
branch from Kooskia to Mellen, which
makes up our 90 miles of building,
Mellen will not be the terminus of the
branch by any means, as we intend TO
eventually build into Grangeville. We
have been on general inspection tour of
the Northern Pacific lines and expect to
wind up our tour on the return from the
Clearwater country. We will reach
