. An Inviting Prosnect.

VIII Canada in the next quarter OF
Q century take the place of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section of the western hemisphere?
everything points that way. In the
opinion Of experts the United States
has reached high water mark rs a
wheat exporting country. The increas-
Ing population over there has reached
the point when home consumption Is
becoming annually greater in proper
ton than the increase in wheat pro-
ductlon. AS a matter Of fact, wheat
production is decreasing over there as
the land becomes more valuable and
by reason of the demand for other
forms of produce for home consump-
ton. 1t is said that the wheat crop
this year is not more than 70 per cent
of the crop of 1901 and much below
the crops of 1902 and 1908. 1t is esti-
mated that this year the United States
surplus for export will not be over
100,000,0 C0, which is less than any year
since 1878 with two exceptions. Not
only is this the case, but a conSidera-
Bile quantity Of the best Canadian
wheat is being imported into Mime
sofa and also Chicago.
All this tends to keep the price of
wheat neal the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat is the loadstone that will
attract farmers to the Canadian North
west, where land is cheap and car be
farmed on a wholesale basis, particu
lars of which may be had from any
agent of the Canadian government.
The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence of i'll
creasing Canadian production and
keeping up the price. 1t constitutes
a roseate prospect for this country,
and needs no optimistic enthusiasm to
fOresee the near expansion Of the
Dominion into the actual position Of
the ~"granary of the empire

\ telephone line forty miles long has
been completed north from Leslie for
the accommodation of ranches OH the
Cheyenne River reservation. Most of
the line is simply fence wire, which is
used on the boundary lines of the large
pastures, and the system is to be ex-
TENDED in the same way. The line now
in operation is all on Indian reservation,
but a general system, with Leslie as a
central point, is being planned to cover a
large part of that portion of the state.

Rarened Air from Caves.

Heretofore, victims of pulmonary
complains have been obliged to make
inconvenient journeys to the higher
attitudes in search of the pure rarefied
air which is known to be so beneficial
to them, but this Is 40 longer neces-
sary. 1t has been discovered that the
air from limestone caves has all the
characteristics Of that Of the noun
tains. This discovery has just been
made use of in the location Of a sani-
tarium near one Of these caves, and
the air for the institution Is supplied
from the underground caverns. This
establishment is at Luray, Va, and
the system of ventilation Is arranged
so that each room gets it's W supply
direct from the cave. The air of these
caverns is of a very uniform tempera-
ture and remarkably pure and free
from all germs and dust particles. In
the warmest weather the doors and
windows Of this institution are kept
closed. and a comfortable temperature
of 70 degrees is maintained in spite of
one of 90 or more encountered out
side.

The JOY Of the Household.

She was a tiny little girl, with sun
tanned hair, a blue calico dress and
bare feet. She carried in her arms a
baby half as large as herself, and the
baby was so heavy that it sagged
down in the middle, giving it the ap.
pearance of being held by the feet and
the nape OF the neck.
There was some excitement around
the corner Of the next block, and the
children were hurrying forward like
mad from all directions. The little girl
tried to run, but the baby was too
hes ~, and her breath gave out. Said
l, in n spirit of badinage:

what the trouble is"

and packed on horses cheaper than
they can be sent by rail. This as
sertion is true and can be substan-
tiated by the facts. A large sum of
money has been appropriated by the
large mining companies of the Rap
id River section to build wagon
road to Pollock, to connect with the
road to Grangeville, that they might
take their machinery and supplies in
from that point. Would they do
that if they could ship them cheaper
or as cheap by rail?

shipment of machinery and mining

over the P. & |. N are prohibitory,

came to Silver City, where by work

cumula ted a sum of money amount
ing to about $4,000, which was left

HIGH FRElGHTs.

Last weeks World, in long and
labored article, undoubtedly the au-
thorship OF Mr.. Heigho, auditor OF
the p. 4 /. N. railroad, takes The
SIGNAL to task for comparing freight
rates on the O. s. L. railroad from
BOISE to Weiser, with those on the
p q |. N. to Council, much to the
discredit Of the latter.
The writer states that the rates in
vogue on the o. S. l.. are what is
known as distributing rates. and
are established for the benefit of the
Boise jobbers to facilitate the dIstri-
button of goods from that point to
points that are commercially trlbu-
tary to it. We would like to ask
the World in all candor, If Weiser is
not ''distrlbuting point" for the
p. q |. N. railroad, what in the
world is it, and why should its mer-
s1chants not be protected as he claims
the 0. s. l.. projects Boise2 What
would the P. & |. N. railroad do
without Wsiser? Where would it
get its passenger and freight traffic
from II it was not for Weiser2
We are of the opinion that the
management of the p. & |. N. rail
road will have to produce stronger
evidence than has been done In
the lsbored article in the World to
convince the people of what they
claim-that rates are lower on the
