The wheat and flour 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
ltalists. Some persons are of the opin-
ion that the recent advance in -four
was just preliminary squeeze by the
combination, to get people accustomed
to higher prices.
From an authoritative source it Is
learned that a board of military Off
GERS will visit Salt Lake at an early
date Tor the purpose of inspecting Fort
Douglas, with the object in view of lnak-
ing recommendations to congress at
The next session for radical physical
changes in the barracks and general
accommodation. The government has
a very large reservation at Fort Doug
las and as it is an ideal place for an
army post, considering its nearness to |
the railroads and to the provision mar /
kets the impression is general that the |
war department will especially favor |
1t and that upwards of S500.00O will be |
spent in its improvement and enlarge |
ment.
