It is likely that the banks of To-

some money with which to buy the
Santa F'e land, pending the sale of the
bonds. will now be willing to put the
money at the disposal of the commit
tees representing the council and the
Commercial club. They have refused to
do so up to this time, owing to the
mayoralty tangle.

In this way the farmer would get the
price his good wheat is entitled to. and
the wheat would get a big reputation
abroad, where 1t is now decried.
Brother Butler. as a former Kansan,
this information made quite an impress
sion on me. and it occurred to me, that
If the farmers organize, their first OBJ
Ject should be to ignore Kansas CITY,
Mo-, altogether in order to establish a
reputation for Kansas wheat.
Let the farmers establish agencies in
Topeka, Atchison, Iseavenworth, Kansas
city Kan, Coneyville. Wichita Win
field, Salina, and possibly few other
towns in Kansas
At nearly all of these towns can eleva-
tor facilities, as well as plenty of capital
be cheaply obtained Let them adhere
strictly TO an honest grade, and export
ers viii come direct to these Kansas
towns and buy their wheat. There arc
many other advantages to be obtained
in establishing home wheat markets
Every eastern miller using Kansas
wheat, would hail with delight the OPP
portunity to come to Wichita Topeka or
Salina, for his Kansas wheat, because
nearly every eastern miller knows TO
his sorrow, that buying wheat in KAN
SaS City means that he will be unmercf-
fully skinned nine times ont of ten. Ess-
pecially is Topeka favorably situated
for a wheat distributing market
The Topeka mills alone use several
million bushels annually, and the facili-
ties for hauling wheat are in every way
first-class
Plenty of money and good elevator ia
cilitieS can always be obtained. At To-
peka the wheat may be easily diverted
to any other market for export, or to the
numerous mills all over the country,
wanting Kansas wheat
During the great blockade last fall.
Topeka dealers had no trouble in work
ing their shipments east by way of st.
Joseph and Atchison without detention,
while thousands of car loads of grain
were hopelessly blocked in Kansas City.
While the southern route is the ideal
one in the winter for exporting grain,
most of the Kansas wheat is shipped in
the fall and goes abroad via the east
and Great Lakes.
A new steamship line has just been
established to sail direct to Europe from
Chicago. and two of the vessels, the
Northwestern and the Northman, left
the port of Chicago within the last two
weeks loaded with wheat for Hamburg
direct The grain will go through with
out traEsshipment via the Great Lakes,
Canadian canals, and rivers, and this
line will have vessels sail at regular
times hereafter
BY joint action or by a community
of interests" as the trusts call it, the
farmers can deliver enough grain at the
stations in Kansas to load a vessel ev-
cry day in the year, without the help of
any middleman.
It seems to me this matter may be so
easily adjusted by the farmers them
selves with SO little work or money. that
am surprised they have not taken up
this matter long ago. There are ample
elevator facilities in all the cities
named, and competent agents can be
found at all Of those points to manage
the business.
Why do not your leading farmers
start this thing going and thereby dis
troy the grain trust in Kansas?

The rapid growth in the expectation
Of manufactures from the United States
is explained in part by some recent
studies of the treasury bureau of sta
tistics regarding the proportion which
manufactures form of the imports of
the great countries and grand divisions
of the world. These calculations show
in brief that but about 20 per cent of the
importations of Europe are manufac-
lures; of Oceania, 40 per cent; Of Asia,
AZ per cent: Of America. exclusive of the
United States. At per cent, and of Africa,
81 per cent. When it is considered that
the grand divisions in which manufac-
lures form the largest per cent of i'm
ports are those in which the commerce
of the United States shows the largest
relative increase in exports, it is appar-
ent that the growth in exports os manu-
features is healthful and promises to be
permanent
To Europe, whose imports of manu-
features form but about 90 per cent Of
the total importations, the exports from
the United States increased 81 per cent
from 1898 to 1900: to Asia and Oceania,
whose imports of manufactures form
from 40 to AZ per cent of the total i'm
portations. our exports increased POI per
cent during the period named; and to
form 81 per cent. our exports increased
2S5 per cent during the period under
consideration. 1t is in all these markets
where manufactures form the largest
share Of the imports that the European
nations are struggling to increase their
commerce. Africa, South America, Asia
and Oceania are the fields of their great
est activity. and it is in those grand divis-
ions-South America excepted-that the
commerce Of the United States shows a
larger percentage Of growth than else
where
Naturally the growth in our exports
to Europe shows a larger sum in millions
Of dollars, by reason Of the much greater
consuming power OF that grand divis-
Ion. but a very large proportion of our
exports to Europe consists OF natural
products, chiefly foodstuffs. while manu-
features constitute the bulk of our ex-
portations to other parts of the world.
This disposition of the continents.

BOLTON DOESN'T LIKE TT
Calls Kansas New Cattle Regulations
an Outrage.

viii E. Bolton, a former Kansas news
paper man, now of Woodward, Ok, is
here to get the Kansas live stock quar-

Oklahoma live stock sanitary board. He
speaks highly of the prosperous condi-
tions in Oklahoma The woodward Live
Stock Inspector, Of which he is publish
err as well as of the Woodward Daily
News, is establishing branch offices in
New York and Chicago.
Bolton is a big man in person and
factor of similar dimensions in terri
torial agricultural and stockmen's poll
tics. He says the territory works with
the Kansas state live stock sanitary
board The difference in the getting
of the two commissions is that the ter
ritory inspectors accept the inspections
of the federal inspectors. Kansas does
not work 50 closely with the federal in
spectors. Oklahoma pays salaries to its
inspectors. Kansas gives its inspectors
a fee of two cents q, head.

quarantine regulations all but the two
