TO BOND The
VIC. MILL E
Washburn- Crosby Have Plan
Perfected for Grinding
Canadian Wheat.
Foreign Market Found for
By-Products Which Will
Simplify Duty.

Canadian wheat will be ground in mill
of the Washburn- Crosby company. The
company has decided to set aside that
particular mill for the purpose. The ca
pacity of the mill is about 5000 barrels
per day. The company is only awaiting
permission from Washington which may
come any day All that remains to be
done is to. furnish the necessary bond
and the storekeeper to look after the
product satisfactory plan for dispos-
ing of the offal has been arranged. 1t
will be exported to points across the At
1antic.
The Minneapolis mills must sooner or
later cope with the Canadian wheat prob
lem in self defense and this prompts the
Washburn-Crosb company to this ex-
pertinent more than any direct proht
which may be realized The local millerS
see that the next few years will make the
question of the proper handling OF Ca
madam wheat a live issue for the milling
interests of this country which depend
upon the increase in the export flour trade
for their increased measure of pros
perity:
The export flour trade with Minneapolis
mills as well as all other interior mills
at the present time is very dull. Cheap
rates on wheat for export have caused
much trouble and Canadian wheat at
low price has caused much more The
opening of navigation and the consequent
reduction of rates to seaboard will i'm
prove the situation but Canadian wheat
will continue to burden the foreign trade
of American mills unless plans for handl-
ing the crop are greatly improved. The
Wash burner company believes that
the time to begin work on the solution of
the problem is right now. 1t is thought
that little can be done with the pres
ent crop, although it is estimated that
Canada, in spite of assertions of some
Canadian authorities, has surplus of
81, 900, 900 bushels which she wants to
move and which as long as it lasts, will
make trouble for American millers. The
Canadian wheat acreage will increase
greatly this year and with a fair average
the Canadian crop for 1902 will be still
greater factor in the markets of the world
with the same trouble in handling it as
is now being experienced, unless Ameri-
can mil1ers and American terminals fur
nish the ways and means. Arrangements
for selling, transporting and storing any
amount of northwestern wheat have been
brought to the point of perfection by the
local grain men and millers. How to
bring Canadian wheat under the same
perfect working plans, as a protection to
the American flour trade is a problem for
the immediate future.
Minneapolis grain men are making
close study of the Canadian situation.
Several Of the elevator men are in the
western provinces this week. Some who
have just returned are impressed with the
great increase in acreage assured for this
year and are certain that the entrance Of
the Canadian crop into the worlds mar
ket is the biggest problem with which the
millers have had to cope since the days
when Argentine shipments began to as
sumo large proportions.

$500 A PAN
Dawson Miners Stampede to
New Diggings on a Pelly
River Tributary.

Tacoma, Wash, March 12.-Dawson and
towns adjacent are excited over an i'm
portant gold strike made in February on
a tributary Of the Pelly river, between
that stream and Yukon, forty miles from
Fort Selkirk Outcoming miners say
dirt running as high as $500 a pan was
taken out.
When the news reached Dawson the
stampede to Koyukuk stopped Immediate
ly and scores of miners started for Pelly
river. The discovery was made by Dick
Butler, an old Yukon prospector, who
staked a discovery claim and then went
out to Yukon to spread the news.
Up to March about 200 claims had
been staked. Prospecting showed that
most of them were rich in gold from the
surface down.

a respectable following from Ohio, In

Without question, things are now drift

Sibley Amendment May Serve ia
Bridge the Chasm.
Washington, March 1s.-There are indi-
cations that the republicans will compro-
mise on Cuban reciprocity, the basis be-
ing 20 per cent reductions to continue
for two years. Leaders on both. sides
have been comforting with a view tc
reaching an agreement on these lines
The overtures of compromise are to be
considered by three republicans from each
side, namely: For the ways and means
Chairman Payne, Representatives Dalzell
and Cannon; for the opposition to the
ways and means, representatives Dick
(Ohio). Fordney (Mich-). and Morris,
fMinn.).
The meeting is now in progress. Mr..
Dick expressed the belief that with the
republican members divided almost evenly
the time had come for COMPROMISE in
stead of determination. He thought the
chances were good for an agreement.

of the Washburn- Crosby company rela-
tive to the sale of screenings from Cana
dian wheat at Duluth, on which no duty
is assessed Special Agent Grain of the
treasury department reports that the
practice has nearly ceased.
He states that two or three years ago
it was the custom to separate screenings
from wheat at Duluth, duty was levied
on the cleaned article and screenings were
sold at as high as SIS a ton for feed for
sheep and other live stock. Now the wheat
Is all screened by Canadian exporters.

a duty should be levied on unscreened

Washington, March 12.-An effort was
made last night in the republican caucus
to convert Representative Fletcher, Of
Minnea polls, to the ways and means prop
osition. He was reminded of what the
ways and means leaders had previously
done for him In advancing legislation at
fecting his district and state, and it was
obliquely limited that If he refused to
stand TO the rack at this iuncture he
would get nothing in the future.
The old man got red to the very roots
of his hair. He said:
81 don't care whether I ever get any

my vote at this time and shall cast it in
the interest of the people whom I repre-

That was not enough. It was high water

made was in not forcing vote at the

admitted they had majority.

yesterday, on his way home from Bel

ship in the State fully 1900. The old
Oranges are showing a gratifying in
crease in the number of their members.
and it is thought that by the close of the
Grange year at tie end of the present
month the increase of membership will
be fully equal to tnat of last year when
il reached 1900.
During his stay at Belgrade Mr.. Card
ner was shown the place where the first
Grange was organized in that town. 1t
was one OF the very earliest in the State
After a few years, owing largely to in
ternal differences it became dormant
About twenty months ago it was revived

flourishing condition with PIG active mem

Mr.. Gardner. MANY people went into it

aims and purposes of The organization
