ate in session thirteen minutes and
the house 5S minutes the last ses.
sion Of the Fifty.eighth congress is

bodies was devoted entirely to the
usual formalitles of opening day.
There were the greetings between
members, the great floral display and
the hundreds Of visitors with beauti-
fully gowned women predomlnating.
Corridors, committee rooms and
cloak rooms were thronged. The
hustle extended even to the floors Of
the chambers.
The gavels of Senator Frye, presi.
dent pro TEN of the senate, and
Speaker Cannon of the house fell ex.
actly at u o'clock. The opening
prayers were made by the chaplains,
Rev. DR.. Eward Everett Hale in the
senate, and Rev. H, N. Couden in the
house.
In both the house and senate the
committees were appointed to await
on the president and inform him that

communications he had for them.
Resolutions in respect to the late
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

Will Canada in the next quarter Of
a 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 as a
wheat exporting country. The In
creasing population over there has
reached the point when home con
sumption Is becoming annually great
er In proportion than the increase in
wheat production. As a matter {.
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 homs
consumption. It 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 estimated that this veal
the United States surplus for export
will not be over lO0,OOO,OOO, which is
less than any year since 1878 with
two exceptions. Not only Is this the
case, but a considerable quantity Of
the best Canadian wheat is being i'm.
ported into Minnesota and also Chi.
cage. ...-
All this tends to keep the price Of
wheat near the dollar mark, and IDOL
lar wheat" Is the loadstone that will
attract farmers to the Canadian
Northwest, where land Is cheap and
can be farmed on a wholesale basis,
particulars Of which may be had from
any Canadian Government Agent.
The reduction Of American exports
will have the double influence Of In.
creaslng Canadian production and
keeping up the price. 1t constitutes
a roseate prospect for this country,
and needs no exercise Of optimistic
enthusiasm to foresee the near expan,
sion Of the Dominion into the actual
position Of the "granary Of the en-
plre." ...-.gs. ....
