FARMERS PLAN A BIG TRUST.
Hope to Hold Wheat and Corn Until
Consumer is Forced to Pay What
it is Worth Plus Tariff.

Lagrange, Ind, July ga movement
is on foot among the farmers of this
state to effect an organization to con-
troll the wheat and corn crops among
the farmers of the United States. The
organization, when completed, will take
in every farmer in the country and will
be of such gigantic proportions that the
gain of the American farmer will be
annually $500, OOO. 900. according to the
prospectus.
The idea is to make effective the now
ineffective tariff on wheat by holding
the crops until the price is higher. The
idea vas started by Clarence Miller of
Frankfort, a young school superinten-
dent. and the farmers are pushing the
work as rapidly as possible. They
claim that while the protective tariff
has raised prices for other producers
1t has not raised prices for the pro-
ducers of wheat, as the tariff makes no
difference in prices. If such a combi-
nation can be made to include the wheat
growers of the Union thew claim that
the prices of wheat in the United States
may be raised to exceed the worlds
price of what by about the amount of
the tariff. 1t is proposed to make an
organization in every township and any
member in need of money will he sup
piled from the trust bank, which is to
be a part of the organization.

DEWINDT NOW AT SEATTLE.
Hardy Newspaper Man Survives Six
Months Trip in Frozen North
Arrived Monday Afternoon

Seattle, Wy, July 29.-After travel
ing six months across the bleak steppes
and frozen mountains of Siberia, Har-
ry De Windt, of the London Express, is
ready to report that a railroad practi-
cally connecting the eastern and west
ern hemispheres is a feasible project.
De Windt left Paris on Dec. 16 last and
arrived in Seattle by way of the Boring
Straits, the Yukon, Dawson and Skag-
way this afternoon. His party encoun-
tered great perils from hunger and cold
and attribute to the presence of Amer
leans in northern waters the fact that
they are again safe in a civilized
try. De Windt asserts the overland jour
ney was much more hazardous and diff
ficult than he expected and he would
decline to make the trip again.
He left the Trans-Siberian railway at
lrkutsk. From there a ours almost
directly north was followed to the Dor
ders of the Arctic ocean. The country
traversed was covered to a depth of
several feet with snow, the road un-
travelled and rough, and dangers lurked
at almost every turn. In many places
natives were suffering from famine and
disease. Many prosperous cities exist on
the map along the route. When these
points were reached nothing but a few
scattered huts and half a dozen wretch
ed natives We're all that remained Of
their greatness.
After describing the pitiable condi-
ton of the natives, he said: Il once
thought the treatment of Siberians by
the Russian government was not severe
but nov that | have seen, l change my
opinion"
