FIGURES PLACED AT 100000

Now that the wheat crop of the
state has been practically all har
vested and is under cover wheat
handlers and those in a position tc
know are estimating that the entire
yield of the state is less than half Of
the yield of 1902 The estimates giver

bushels, instead of $4,000 900 bushels
as first estimated
The revision Of estimates is having
the effect of stiffening prices in al
the wheat centers and present prices
it is asserted, will soon reach a much
higher level when it has been actually
demonstrated that the yield is much
lower than was first supposed.
Chief Deputy Inspector King was
seen as regards the probable come
down from first estimates. He said
Our estimates were made with
the reservation that the crop would
probably reach 100000 bushels,
providing there were no losses after
that date. There have been losses,
and though the damage to the crop
by rain would not decrease the
amount Of grain in bushels, it has
evidently had its influence in some
sections in causing an abandonment
of all thoughts Of harvesting extreme
ly poor stands of wheat From re
ports being received at this office, it
is safe to revise the former figures
several million bushels. Many of the
large warehouses over the mountains
report that where at this time of the
year in past seasons they have been
full to overfowing this year they are
comparatively empty"
A prominent wheat buyer seen as
to the new estimate: said:
Il think $4,000, 000 bushels as
against 260O0,000 last year is possibly
low estimate, and for myself think
the crop will come between y, 10000
and 15,000,000 bushels. One of the
largest Of the Tacoma mills, which
in previous years at TINS time has al
ways been stocked up in its east-oT-
the-mountain warehouses. with usual
~ three-quarters OF a million bushels
to sell, this year has not more than
half enough wheat to date to keep
running for the balance of the sea

General Sherman as he reviewed the
troops in Washington at the close Of

PACKAGE OF AZ CARLOADS.
Worlds Fair Official Declined It, but
Finally Found Storage Room.

Washington May 27.-Certain Swift
GERS conceived the idea that the st.
Louis exhibition would be incomplete
without an Alpine village. They in
duced Adolphus Busch of st. Louis to
enter into partnership with them, and
when St. Louis was most busy enter
tanning the visitors to the dedication
exercises recently n notice was sent to
the office of Mr.. Busch that n pack
age was in the Custom House addressed
to him.
The package" was a consignment,
in bond, of forty-two carloads of ma
terial. from which was to be con-
structed the Alpine village.
The surveyor of the Port of st. Louis
appealed to Washington when the
consignment was left on his hands.
The controversy has hung fire for
several weeks, and was only solved
by the railroad which carried the goods
informing Mr.. Busch that he would
have to pay a heavy rental for the cars
unless they were unloaded. In this
emergency a place was found on the
exposition grounds where the material
could be stored.
The chief concern of this govern
ment is that none of the foreign manu-
features shipped to the st. Louis Ex-
position shall avoid paying regular
tariff duties. The Alpine village case
probably win decide all such schemes.

listed in the cotton states half a century
ago. The old black nanny is still
the household tyrant and the children's

of Uncle Tom.
The same open handed hospitality
that has always characterized the
Sunny South rules in Toledo today and
the tourist or trader who is drawn
thither on pleasure or business will
never regret the chance. One topic of

tabooed. That is the Civil War. The

the present boundary between the Brit
