The Pendletop sentiment.

There is a sentiment in the Inland
Empire against raising $4,000 in pub.

age road-the sentiment is not against
the completion of the road, but against
the contribution of funds under such
uncertain authority as is now in charge
of that estimable work. The people
feel that as the open river commission
is only voluntary organization, with
out bonded officers, or even a legal
form of corporation, that 100000 is a
large sum TO give into its custody, no

Weighing Vegetables.

An agitation favoring the handling
of green groceries by weight has been
started in Cleveland again. and the in
tention is to push the matter along
until some decisive action can be TAX
en-.
The innovation of buying and selling
potatoes. apples. melons. sweet pota-
toes. tomatoes. peas. beans. berries.
pickles. and. in fact. all articles han
died in bulk by grocers is up to- the
grocers themselves. There is no state
law or city ordinance governing tho
matter. and the law regulating the size
of barrel. even. is declared to be a
dead letter. Consequently the grocer
who buys a barrel of potatoes al the
commission house has no idea of how
much he has bought. nor can he fix a
retail price until he determines the
quantity he has purchased at the
wholesale price.
Liberality of clerks in adding a po-
tato or two TO peck measure full
is simply an additional uncertainty of
the measure system of handling. and
the varying sizes Of berry boxes Great
cd unequal conditions in cases of COM
petition. Fresh fruit will weigh more
than dried up. stale stuff. and the par
chaser is thereby protected to an ex-
tent greater than under the measure
system. Cooks and chefs. too, who re-
quire exact weights of the different
materials that go into their dishes can
buy more accurately under the weight
system.-Cleveland Leader

WHEAT FIELDS OF CANADA.
Manitoba Can Produce Twice as Much
Wheat as Russia.

Manitoba is pre-eminently the prov
ince of wheat. Westward Of Winni-

eye and the sky line but wheat-a
boundless sea of wheat. ripping to
the prairie wind like waves to the
run of invisible feet, says the Chautau-
GUAM. The tall. red towers of the
elevators rise where settlements have
clustered into village. but across the
fenceless reaches is nothing but the
Fellow wheat. The province is only
in its infancy. Only one,tenth of the
wheat lands are occupied; yet that
tenth yields more wheat than Great
Britain. one-fifth as much as the two
Russias. twice as much as Sweden,
Denmark, Holland and Belgium to
gether. third more than Austria.
fifth more than Roumania. When
all Manitoba's wheat lands are occu.
pied this province alone will be pro-
ducing twice as much as Germany.
AZ each little prairie station hosts
OF settlers go out from the colonist
cars of the train and look with won
dering eyes on the vast fenceless
fields that seem to begin where the
sun rises and end where the sun sets.
IL is new world--a world of promise

have dug themselves out in an eastern
sweat-shop moisten at sight of the
