A New Feed.

A reputable man of Moscow, Idaho,
named M. J. Shields is handling new
cereal which is called corn wheat, says
the Review. The kernels look very
much like wheat, except that they are
about twice as large and the yield per
acre is about twice as great, running
from so to 100 bushels. Mr.. Shields
has raised 1913 sacks, weighing 100
pounds each, from only two bushels
OF seed. Practically the same kind of
meal can be made from it that is made
from corn, meal that is palatable and
has superior fattening qualities. 1t is
believed that this grain will solve the
problem of fattening hogs and cattle
in wheat country. Even the straw
after thrashing has been found to con-
tain fattening qualities to such an ex-
tent that stock thrive on it almost as
we'll as they do on hay. If all the
things that are claimed for it are true,
this new grain is one OF the most i'm
portant products ever introduced into
the Palouse country.-Ellensburg

Will Put in 10000 New Ties.

PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. 21.-Assistant
Superintendent Frank Greene of the
Port Townsend Southern railroad has
let contract for the cutting of 10000
new ties for use on his road. The con-
tract was awarded to Samuel MCGEE
and Karl Jorgusen, each to cut 5000.
When the bids were opened it was
found that both parties had put in
the same figure, so Mr.. Greene divided
the contract between them. It is I'm
derstood, however, that Immediately
after the fulfllment of this contract
another one will be let for the same
number of ties. The ties are to be
used in replacing the Old ones, which
are in many places in bad condition,
and it is proposed to place the road in
first-class repair preparatory for the
summers business.

"Good Counsel
Has No PRICE,,
Success Of Strawberry Jam.

Among the addresses made IN the
closing hours of the Northwest Fruit
Growers association was one by j. OBJ.
scobey, of Olympia. The Ledger had
the following to say of this address:
81. OBJ. Scobey, who is the pioneer
promoter of jamming and preserving
plant in this locality, told of his efforts
and their ultimate success at his
Olympia berry farm. Two years ago
he put up $50 cans of strawberry jam,
packed in ordinary Mason fruit jars
and prepared as it would be in the
kitchen OF any farm house. 1t was
merely In The nature Of an experiment
undertaken at time when his berries
would not bring enough in the market
to pay the cost of picking them. The
Jam sold so readily that last year he
put up 10000 pint jars, which are ex-
pected to retail at % cents each.
They are in an attractive form, with
handsome label and guarantee of
purity He had no difficulty in dis
posing of the entire lot at such a fig
ure that he said it was more profitable
for hi,! to can his berries than sell
them fresh at $3.50 per crate This
season he will put up 100000 jars for
market, not only strawberries, but
other small fruits and pure fruit iellies.
He has taken an extensive eastern
trip in the interest of his wares and
finds everywhere a demand for them.
He anticipates no difficulty in dispose
ing of the entire output of his plant,
and says he will sell no berries fresh.
at a lower price than $1.50 per crate.
He considered the canning of small
fruits the proper solution of the diff
culties of the growers. 1t does away
with the transportation question and
/ with the vexed commission question.
He secures freight rate of rs cent
per 100 pounds on his canned products
to any point in the United States and
has no complaints to make regarding
railroad tariff. Mr.. Scobey's address
was listened to closely by the grow
ers."

Nome's King on the Sound.

Charles d. Lane, the San Francisco
millionaire mining man, and the larg-
est operatoFin the Cape Nome mining
and transportation propositions, is IN
Seattle, planning the summer cam
paign, and the Seattle Times has the
following to say of him:
"Mr. Lane and Sol. g. Simpson, the
lumberman, are brothe1s-in-law and
are identified in several Cape Nome
ventures, chief of which is the traffic
done by the Seattle Steamship Com
pany. Had it not been for Mr.. Lanes
astute agents at Cape NagS last year
that now famous camp.would have
been year behind-%hat it is today,
despite the discoveries that were made.
Some of Mi. Lanes agents came down
on the first boat from st. Michael last
season, among them Mr.. Simpson, and
of all who came down they were the
only men who stood out for the new
camp. Discouraged miners condemned
it and called it transportation take.
Lanes people SAID it was all right
and so it proved. At the very time
that the country was being condemned
Mr.. Lane was putting his own money
in lust as fast as he could. During
the season he spent $500 in invest
ments in promising claims. buying
most of the Laplander claims. He
now has, it is currently reported, an
interest in seventy or eighty Nome
claims, many of them being worked
this winter.
'sMr. Lane owned the Laurada
which was wrecked last fall owns the
Townsend, now on the Southeast
Alaska run; owns, with his traffic
partners, the Oregon, now in this port
and bought the big steamer Irrawady
now loading at Philadelphia for this
coast to go into Cape Nome business
1t is confidently predicted that Mr.
Lane will clean up a million dollars
from Cape Nome this year and will by
far benefit more largely from the new
discoveries than any single individual
He will be here several days. Today
he was quite busy at the Office of Mr.
Simpson in the Bailey Building with.f
string of callers who were waiting
turns for a chance to confer with him
They were mostly mining men with {
scheme to propose"
