MAY PRODUCE WHEAT YET
MANILANS SAY 1T CAN BE RAISED
IN LUZON.

Filipino wheat may be a factor of the
future, In the opinion Of the Manila Tri-
bune, which says edltorially, the editor
being c. w. Ney, a st. Paul boy who
served with the Thirteenth Minnesota:
In 1871 there were Us. 800 900 acres under
wheat. in 1882 50,000, 900, and In 1886
158, 000 Yet side by side with this slow
growth there has been an increase of BIB
per cent in the number of bread eaters.
The United States contributed 100000
acres under wheat between 1871 and 1882,
yet the wheat area of the United States
In 1897 was 100000 less than it was fff-
teen years earlier. Indeed, during that
same period there has been an acreage
namely. wheat and rye of $4,000, 600 acres,
only the Argentine Republic and Uruguay
showing any appreciable increase. In
1897 the worlds wheat harvest showed a
deficiency of 100000, 600 bushels.
Now, pending the time when any food
other than bread should become the
staple to very large and important sec
ton of mankind 1t will be imperative
that either one or two remedial courses
be adopted to counterfeit the growing dis
crepancy between demand and supply in
breadStuff. One Is the extension, on a
considerable scale, of the worlds wheat
acreage; the second, the opening UP of
fresh sources of supply.
The former course Is entirely. impraCti-
cable. for the diminution of wheat acre
age is to be chiefly attributed to the
ever widening area devoted to manufac
turing industries ana TO building, and
both these must continue to grow apaCe,
so long as cities continue to be the mag
nets that draw the rural districts.
We have then only the second course
wheat raising And in this connection we
may be allowed to suggest the Philip
pines, especially the more northern parts
of LuzOn Panay and Negroes as promis-
ing fields for this profitable cultivation.
The popular idea that wheat requires
a cold climate to thrive in is entirely
erroneous. Argentina, which supplies a
seasons of the year warmer, out of all
proportion so. than it ever gets here,
and the thermometer at any time does
not drop below Is deg. to 50 deg. in the
daytime. The same may be said for In
dia- In the mountainous regions of these
islands there Is quite sufficient decrease
in temperature at night to suit the re-
quirements Of wheat. and, for the rest,
as to sunshine for instance, the conditions
are all that could be desired.

than Ed Hall, who attempted the feat
yesterday afternoon. Mrs Hull rooms on
the second floor of a block at 22O West
Seventh street. Returning from a short
shopping trip into the business part of
town yesterday afternoon she found a
man ransaclSing her rooms. Without
more ado, she seized him, hurried him
down fight Of stairs, cornered him
and went through his pockets, and then,
calling two Of her women friends, called
policeman and turned him over to the
law. Articles belonging to Mrs. Hull were
found on his person, proving his guilt
Mrs. Hull terls the somewhat peculiar
story Of her adventure with some trepida-
ton. After the excitement she finds her
self somewhat unstrung. She left her
rooms shortly after the dinner hour yes
terday, and upon returning about 2:3O
o'clock. found strange man in them.
Not thinking at first that he was a
burglar, she sharply demanded his bust
ness. He hesitated and finally explained
that he was looking for Mr.. Evans
rooms"
Looking for Mr. Evans, are you?" re-
marked Mrs HUH, and she attempted to
seize her prey. The man turned and tried
to escape. Mrs. Hull made flying tackle
as he brushed passed her on run for
the stairs and caught his coat tails With
a firm grip she held on for dear life. and
the burglar hurled her more than half
way down the steps before she knew
what was happening. Then she advanced
for a front attack and cornered her man.
She stood between him and the outside
door and again demanded his business
He refused to answer, and still keeping a
firm grip on her victim. Mrs Hull made
a search of his coat pockets. There she
found several articles of jewelry and a
quantity of candy, all her property. Then
she called for help.
Mrs. Chambers, who lives In the same
building, and her sister both responded
The three women held the man and sys-
tematicafy went through his clothes
They found several pins and other articles
which had been taken from the room

ALL FILLED But ST.-PAUL
FEW MORE CENSUS ENUMERATORS
WANTED FOR THE CITY.

Applications for the positions of emu
merators are still being received by Su-
pervisor of Census Vanish. When the list
is complete they will be forwarded to
Washington. together with the test sched-
uleS submitted, for approval of Director
of the Census Merriam. 1t Is expected
that they will be returned by May l, at
which time appointments will be made
and commissions issued.
In the FIVE counties of the Fourth dis
trict under supervision of Mr.. Vanish,
there will be 156 enumerators divided
among the counties, as follows: Ramsey
104 Washington. %; Chisago. Is; Isanti, g.
and Kenabec, 5. There will be ninety
eight enumerators in St. Paul and six
outside the city limits. This is the small
lest district in the state.
In all there will be about $4,000 appli-
cations sent in to Washington from the
different states and territories of the
union. So far as the Fourth district is
of taking the census could be commenced
now. The law does not limit applications
for census enumerators to age, sex or
color. Several women and girls have ap-
piled, and their applications will be con-
sidered One young lady who speaks both
English and YidGish has applied for the
position in one of the Sixth ward districts,
where there is quite a large Hebrew set
Element 1t Is calculated that one or two
Chinese interpreters will also be found
necessary to properly conduct the work
Chinese are prone to mistake census emu
merators for some kind of tax collectors,
and are inclined to be reticent and some
what obstinate when interviewed.
So soon as the applications have been
returned from Washington approved,
work Will begin in earnest.

visitors reached the yards. The great sale
attracted horse buyers from all parts Of
the country, many coming from the far
Eastern and Southern states, while the
majority were from Iowa, Wisconsin, Mis-
souri,, the Dakotas and Minnesota. 1t
was the general belief that fully one-half
OF the visitors We're strangers, who had
never visited the yards before, but 1t is
safe to predict that there is not one Of
them but that will come again, for the
sale was great success IN every way, in
spite of the ve = disagreeable weather
conditions, which made it almost an i'm
possibility to show the horses to ad-
vantage. The success that attended the
sale opened the eyes Of all concerned, and
1t is more than a possibility that steps
will be taken In the very near future to
make these sales permanent feature of
the yards. It Is expected that the Of
ficials of the Union stock yards will take
hold of the sales with q willing hand and
provide accommodations that will make
the handling and sale of the horses much
easier. Among the improvements contem-
plated will be a large number of new
pens and an immense sale ring that will
be inclosed and covered, and will have
seating accommodations under cover for
fully 1000 people.
When the big sale opene~. at 10 o'clock
sharp there were fully 1,z.J people about
the sale ring. and this crowd was swelled
with every incoming train. The sale was
under the management of Frank Thuet,
of the firm of Thuet Bros, with William
Holland as auctioneer. AucLoner HOl-
land has a happy way of handling
crowd, aside from the fact that he is we'll
known as an excellent horse salesman,
and he was at h-J best yesterday. Mr..
Thuet was introduced to the buyers be-
fore the sale opened, and, following this
and good straight-from-the-sh shoulder
talk by Auctioneer Holland, the first
bunch of horses was led into the ring and
the sale was on
The quality of the horses was a surprise
to many who attended the sale. Buyer
after buyer was heard to remark that he
had seldom seen such & large bunch of
horses that averaged as good. And this
fact was evidenced in the buying for the
bidding was spirited and sales were made
quickly. Bunch after bunch of the horses
was brought into the sale ring and knock
ed down in ''rag-time" to use popular
expression. Prices realized were good,
although not high when the quality of the
horses is taken into consideration and
many buyer congratulated himself on
having secured a bargain in what he pur-
chased
Between 10 and II o'clock about thirty
cars or horses were disposed of. After a
rest for dinner the sale was resumed at
1 o'clock, and from that hour on until
o'clock the helpers were kept busy
bringing the horses to the sale ring. When
the sale closed at 5 o'clock there was
hardly a pen of unsold horses in sight
1t was undoubtedly one of the greatest,
If not the greatest. horse auction ever
held in this country, and was generally
conceded to be a success In every way
