"Mr, Wheelon, chief engineer for the
Bear River Canal company, up TO Fri
day night had run the line of the
coming canal TO the southern boundary
OF the city, More than half the land
in the Third ward, using city water,
will be below the line. II trayerses
many streets in its course and the right
Of way will not cost as much as ut
first thought Sixth West street Is
the lowest point reached. "-Boxelder
Report.
There Is still shortage Of brick and
Of stone and many buildings in course
of erection are delayed for want OF the
necessary materials and of skilled labor
which Is also unobtainable.
The wheat and -four situation Is one
Of especial interest in view Of the fact
that the control OF all the mills OF this
state and OF southern Idaho may any
day pass into the hands OF eastern cap
itallsts. Some persons are Of the opin-
ion that the recent advance In -four
was Just a preliminary squeeze by the
combination. TO get people accustomed
to higher prices. However. although
Mr. AMBROSE Il. Mckenzie. who Sc
cured options on over 70 per cent Of all
the mills In Utah and southern Idaho. Is
in the east effecting the organization
Of company to take up the options. 1t
is improbable that the deal has yet
reached the point OF contamination TO
such a degree that the policy Of the
Utah mill. is being directed by East
erners. The price OF wheat even In car
load lots Is from 60 to So cents per
bushel and still higher prices are cx-
pected with correspondingly higher
prices for -four. The milers say that
unless they do advance prices, as wheat
advance, there will be absolutely no
profit in the milling Industry in this
state.
