PULLMAN, April 77.-Aaron Kuhn Of
Colfax is preparing to revolutionize the
wheat business Of Pullman and vicinity
and there is every likelihood that he will
succeed and divert from I25, 600 to $50, 900
bushels of wheat that ordinarily came to
Pullman each year, to the Snake river
and by boat to Riparia. The plan which
has been completed and work on which
will begin tomorrow, is to erect two
warehouses, one at Wawawai and the
other at the top of the bluff above at that
point, connecting the two with a wire
cable tramway. The upper warehouse
will be 6ox8o feet in dimensions, and
here the wheat will be unloaded from
farmers wagons aud transported down
the hill, distance of 45oo feet, to the
larger warehouse, which will be 6oxI5o.
Here it will be stored until shipped on
the boat to railroad connections at Ri
paria.

warehouses and installing Of the plant.
Mr.. Kuhn, with his family, is touring
| Europe, and when last heard from was at
Meinheim, Germany. He will not return
until July, and it is hoped to have the
plant in running order by the first Of
that month. Mr.. Manning said today
that 100000 to 900, 1000 bushels of wheat
will be handled annually at the new
plant, and of this amount half will be
drawn from that which under ordinasy
circumstances would come to Pullman.
The wire cable for this plant is to be
9ooo feet in length. The hill at this
point is 1900 feet above the river bank.
From Warehouse to warehouse the dis.
tance is 4soo feet, making the descent
more than one foot in three. There are to
be $50 buckets, made much on the prin-
ciple on the pack saddle and carries one
two bushel sack of grain. The cable
makes one revolution per hour. making
the amount of grain handled in ten hours
$50 sacks or more than 5000 bushels,
each sack containing little more than
two bushels of grain. The cost Of the
entire plant is estimated at from $500 to

The question IS raised once more, and doubt
less for the last time across which isthmus the

time or another in the last four centuries the
work has been planned for each of the three
isthmuses. and for each of several points on
two of them. The North American isthmus.

abandoned for canal purposes; for a time II was

years American attention has been centred al
most exclusively upon It. Finally, the South

Tor the last time, TO recall some Of the reasons
why the whole Panama enterprise has been re-

Americans have so generally turned toward the
Nicaragua route-reasons entirely apart from

the company TO be formed and the work to be
begun with an iDexcusable lack of regard for
the lawful treaty rights of the United States
and in offensive defiance Of the well known and
long established policy of this nation. Next.
that enterprise was transformed into a scheme
for wholesale swindling and corruption of
French politics. Finally. the new and present
company was organized TO make a colossal
'bluff" and TO play the part OF the dog In the

loudly proclaiming its ability easily to COM

iNTTPODEAN INDUSTRIAL ARBITRATION.

lNTIPODEAN INDUSTRIAL ARBITRATION.
An interesting experiment Is now making In
Australia with the problem OF industrial arbl-
tration, which other governments have looked
at go much askance or have approached with
much hesitancy The Australian Government
has made the most resolute and consistent
attempt ever enacted into law to deal with
disputes between labor and capital The law
inst passed deliberately undertakes to substi-
tute collective for individual bargains In labor
matters-bargains between employers unions
on the one hand and employees unions on the
other. 1t establishes court for the purpose Of
arbitrating labor disputes-a phrase that is
made to include every possible misunderstand
ing that can arise between employer and en-
ploye-and sees to 1t that this court is made
an independent and dgnfed tribunal. There
Is ample power given, through fines or penalties
levied on the corporate funds of the unions
on individual members, to enforce its orders;
and il must be remembered that unions"
means unions Of employers as well as Of en-
ployes The courts decisions are further pro-
tected in their effectiveness by a provision Of
the law making any strike or lockout that
occurs before the dispute Is referred TO the
court or before the courts decision is
dered a misdemeanor punishable by fine or
Imprisonment.
ever is a provision by which the court may
declare that any practice, usage and condition
of employment industrial dealing shall, with
such limitations as the court itself shall note
become a common rule for all persons en-
ployed in the industry under consideration.
Furthermore the court declare standard
wage" and II can direct that, other things
being equal. an employer shall give a prefer
ence TO unionists when two or more men are
applying for employment at the same time.
All this is truly antipodean to make
people on this side Of the world rub their eyes
with bewilderment. New-Zealand has made
some startling attempts at the arrangement
and government Of social and industrial con-
ditions by law; but New-Zealand has never
accomplished quite so wide departure as this
from what has hitherto been regarded as the
conditions necessary to carry on business In the
old fashioned way. The antipodes perhaps,
offer good field as there is for the trial of
this newest and most drastic scheme for the
regulation Of industry and the attainment of
| Industrial peace. The experiment will be
| watched by the rest of the world with interest
| very largely mixed we venture to say with
| sceptcal incredulity. And the rest Of the world
| will be likely TO remember. too that the glow
