WHEAT Battle IN THE WEST.
Fight for Control Between the Farmer
Trust and Its Rivals.

LINCOLN, Neb.. March 2i.-The Farmers'
Trust recently organized in this State, Is
having some pretty hard shedding just at
present. principally because Of the opposi-
ton Of the commission men.
The idea OF the trust took very generally
with the farmers, who have been con-
vinosd for yeass that thsy were not 10
ceiving 90 much for their grain a. they
should and most Of them have agreed to
hold their wheat for the elevators the trust
has already contracted TO build. II now
owns six but it il finding 1t dlfYicult to
market it's shipments.
Each Of the wheat growing States Of the
West has a strong association OF grain
buyers. whose business is menaced by
the success OF the farmers Organization.
and they have warned every Chicago COM
mission man that he must not handle the
independent shipments on penalty Of losing
all Of the business Of members OF the assoc
citation. These grain buyers are all ele-
vator owners. and they have been big
enough shippers to make their warning
worth needing. The farmers now propose
TO buy terminal facilities at Chicago. and
fight the commission men on their own
grounds.
Then the farmers have to meet the COM
petition OF the line elevators also. These
are owned by railroad officers and their
friends. and their managers are supposed
10 have unusual opportunities for doing
business. The elevators owned by the
grain buyers are known AZ independent
elevator
Each Of these three conflicting interests
has a powerful weapon Of offence The
farmers have the advantage when " comes TO
buying grain and as they take full chances on
the market. they can oher Q better price.
The independents can prevent commis-
don men from handling tho Farmer
Trust grain. while the line elevator men
expect 90 win out through their growing
monopoly ~ trackaSe privileges.

Oriental Rugs-sd Fl.
Carpet Bulletin.-Mrl Fl.

OTICtISdI NuXS-"ur IT,
Oriental Rugs, in spite of their higher
cost, are preferable because they are
far more elegant and inoomparably
more serviceable than any other. The
fabric-goat's wool woven by hand -
guarantees long life to the Rugs from
the East. And the dyeing II has
the artistic quality that bears no relation
to the modern commercial process de.
veloped by the abstract science of
chemistry. The colors-derived from
flowers, vegetables, plants and barks -
grow soft and mellow with age-and in
fading still remain beautiful.
Our method Of selling should make
Persian and Turkish Rugs popular.
