USING SOFT COAL.
Need for a Vigorous Campaign OF
Education to Prevent Smoke.

Education TO prevent Smoke.
From the Chicago Record Herald
The problem of abating the smoke nui-
sance will be rendered more difficult this
winter by the increased consumption of BIZ
though the strike in the anthracite coal re-
gions should be settled next month 1t is not
possible that an adequate supply Of an
thracite would become available before
winter sets in. Thousands of citizens will
therefore be dependent entirely upon soft
coal for heating their homes.
AS very few Of them have ever burned
soft coal in their furnaces, the stocking will
be new experience to them and there Is
need of a vigorous campaign of education
on this subject If the residence portions are
to be saved from being covered with deep
layer of SCOT
Fortunately the city smoke inspection de-
partment Is preparing to meet this need
promptly and effectively. 1t will issue for
general distribution pamphlet full of sug-
gestons as to how to burn bituminous coal
in domestic stoves and furnaces with the
least possible smoke.
The city smoke ordinance now in force
does not apply to private residences and
hence is powerless to reach offenders who
may persist in smoking up a whole
neighborhood. Householders, however are
apt to be moved by considerations Of civic
cleanliness which do not appeal to owners
of downtown factories and office buildings.
Household furnishings are always more or
less damaged by soft coal smoke. 1t is
probable, therefore, that home owners win
be quick to avail themselves of any prac-
teal suggestions that may be supplied by
the city smoke inspection department.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

The following market letter is fur.
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.. h,
Grain Commission M erchants 10
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis,
80 Board Of Trade, Duluth.
Nov. 1S.-Wheat: During the
past week a good deal of energy has
been extended in trying to guess what
the Armour Co., intends to do in the
wheat market. There has been a
good deal of bear sentiment on the
part of professional traders, but buy
ing by Armour has given them
pause and occasioned some doubt as
to the correctness of the bear point of
view. The market has closed a little
higher each night since Thursday
and has a very strong tone. It looks
a little bearish to see exports for the
week drop to 4,4OO, 900 bushels,
especially in view of the fact that
worlds shipments were Ii, 1854, 600
bushels, but Armour has been right,
and the rest of the trade wrong,
several times this year and it looks as
though that firm might easily be right
this time. The United States will
consume 400, 900, 900 bushels of wheat
100, 600, 600 bushels have already
been exported-and the export bust
ness is by no means over with, and
seed requirements will be about 70, 600
600 bushels. The crop has frequently
been estimated at less than 600, 900, 900
bushels, and although that is probably
too low, it seems very likely that the
excess over requirements will not
amount to more than the usual re-
serves, to be carried over into the
next crop year-that is to say, the
amount over and above that which

will be used during this crop wear.

Will be used during this crop year,
Will be SO small, that speculation can
very easily and certainly will carry
the prico to much higher figures.
Notwithstanding the continued large
worlds shipments, the Liverpool mar
ket remains strong.
The situation in the northwest is
unusually strong on account of the de-
mand for spring wheat to be used for
mixing with low grade winter wheat,
Northwest stocks are about half of
what they We're a year ago. There
was another good increase in the
visible supply, 1 1893, 900 bushels, but
western primary receipts are decreas-
lng' n it is thought that the move
ment has passed its maximum. II is
remarkable that during the crush" of
to market, cash or spot wheat
has beer worth a premium over the
futures. Last week the premium
was slightly increased and is now
from IA to 2 cents over the Decem-
Der: We favor purchases of Nav
wheat at present prices, and especially
on every little dip in the prices.

! "A most extraordinary disease, ex-

Egyptian room of the National mu-

correspondent of the New YORK
Times. "a few days ago the distin-

Alexandria. He at once communi-
Gated his discovery to the curator,
who called in experts to examine the

CARP GUSHING WILD DUCK.
Useless. Themselves, They Have De,
stroyed thee Wild RiceuFieads
In Ontario, Canada.

The singular complaint comes, from
various parts of northern Ontario,that
fish are responsible forithe disappear
ance of certain kinds of game. In To-
c~alities which were formerly noted for
the excellent duck shooting which they
offered the birds are now not to be had
at all. ..
The ducks, geese and other aquatic
birds were formerly in the habit of
f%requenting the large fields of wild rice
in the lakes and streams of parts of
Ontario, but now these fields have been,
in many instances, destroyed by the
German carp, which has found it's way
into these waters. The vegetarian diet
of this detestable fish not only ruins
the flavor of its own flesh, but exhausts
the food supply of some of the most
desirable forms of feathered game,
says the New York Sun.
The Ontario inspector of fish
cries, who has been in north
ern Ontario for the last few
weeks, reports that the German
carp has not only become danger
Gus to other fish, as has been frequent
ly claimed, but that in Cooks bay, Lake
Simcoe, where there were formerly
hundreds of acres of wild rice. not a
spear of that plant is to be seer to-day.
The same is true of the Holland river,
where there were at one time 1900
acres of rice. The carp have eaten it
root, branch and seed.
The almost incredible part of it is
that the fish have entirely destroyed
the fields in n year. The aquatic
birds which visit the locality, finding
that all their usual feeding grounds
have disappeared, cut short their visit
and move away in search of others.
The local sportsmen complain, too,
that the carp have attacked the beds
of wild celery, and that they, too, are
almost completely destroyed.
1t remains to be seen what the eft.
feet of this wholesale destruction OF
aquatic vegetation will be upon the
game fishes of the locality. The fish.
cry overseer of the district declares
that it is a question whether the
spawn OF the muskallonge can be pro
tected and developed without the rice
beds. He does not accuse the carp Of
eating the eggs of the other fish. bu,
states that they keep the water con.
tinually disturbed, and that to theil
presence in these waters must. be at
tributed the decrease in the number
of muskallonge frequenting them TO,
spawning purposes.

HUGHES VIEWS.
Ex-Fargo Postmaster Has a Few Words
On Irrigation.

J. J.. Hughes, former postmaster of

I now live, a short time ago. I have

friends in Iowa for a week or two.
My sisters have moved out to the
coast, where I expect to return short

pieces of legislation that has been
enacted into a law, was the national
irrigation bill, which Senator Hans

the last congress. There are count
less acres of sage brush land. Take
lit out in the Milk River country from
Williston west through Montana, there
is a desolate place. According to the
new bill, irrigation bitches will be
constructed, and the vast Ire of here
tofore worthless land improved and
opened up to the highest state Of
cultivation. Farmers and ranchmer
cannot supply water there but ou1
government steps in and irrigates-
and that too without cost to itself-as
the lends when once irrigated become
exceedingly valuable, and this Law
provides that the cost of irrigation
shall be paid from the proceeds Of the
sale of this. public land-and there
will be no end to the public demand
for it. Those who understand the
