 There was no action taken upon the county seat removal question as had been expected Saturday night, the con- mittee having failed by a couple of hundred dollars to collect the court house bonus. The circulation of the report that the election might be post poned until next year, the clerk of the committee stated, had caused some who are opposed to putting the matter off to refuse to pay what they had agreed and thus the work of collection failed of the expectation of the committee. The committee was simply instructed to go ahead and collect the money and when that point is settl ed further action can be taken.

very near meeting with serious

when an engine came down the track

unmanageable and the engine barely

says it is the second time he has had
close calls at this point and thinks it
time that a hagman should be station
ed there The crossingi is dangerous
place as the tracks are generally
blocked up with cars and person
cannot see a train coming until 1t is
right on them. A hagman stationed
there could prevent accidents which
will happen sooner or later if the
crossing is left unprotected.

consume il from that time on. The
Asiatic rice eaters are as fond of -four
as the white race and as ready to eat
it if they can get it at fair price"
Mr.. Hill then went on TO show that
although the Asiatic people would be
able individually to buy but very
small amount of our grain, in the
aggregate the market would much
more than consume our surplus; also
that the United States has the
advantage of all other nations IN
reaching the market. He urges the
necessity of paying more attention =
the development of the farming
interests of this country, saving:
IF our home market, which we
have nursed so long for iron and steel
industries, is of so much value, let us
now go on and take some care of our
agricultural interests and not leave
them where they are to-day-without
an iota of assistance from any point.
"a year ago you could buy nails for

You know how lumber has gone up
and all other articles of prime
necessity on the prairie farm. Fuel
has advanced. Everything made up
of iron has advanced. But the wheat
crop has not advanced, because it is
sold in open competition with the
products of the world. And until we
get other people to eat wheat, it viii
not advance, and we will go on hoping
against hope. We will not get a high
price for our wheat until wheat is
made scarce. If we could increase
our export to the Orient by so millioh
bushels, have not the slightest doubt
that 1t would advance the price of
what we do send to Europe. 1907 20

How to Raise the Price of Wheat.

Jas. Hill, the transportation mag
nate, says the way to raise the price
of wheat is to open new markets for il
among people who do not use it, and
with this in view, he is building five OF
the largest steamers that the world
has ever seen, to carry the wheat OF
the Pacific coast to China, Japan, the
straits settlements and other oriental
lands. Mr.. Hill says: 'With oul
great growth of population, we must
consider how the people must be
employed so that they may be
intelligent, prosperous and happy
We sell 60 or 20 per cent of oul
entire products to one country
Great Britain. If for any reason
that country were not able to buy
from US, our people would realiz'
very quickly the situation they are in
Where can we sell our wheat crop
In France, Italy, Austria or German,
we are met with hostile legislation
We are not welcome. To take on
wheat to Russia would be like carry
ing coal to Newcastle. That countr
has surplus to sell.
eff only one-third of the people c
the world are wheat eaters and tn
