LAMPWICKS ON THE RISE
ADVANCE OF 33 PER CENT IN
PRICE MAY BE DUE TO ROOKIE
TELLER OR COTTON ADVANCE.

Burners of midnight oil are being op-
pressed with the necessity of curtailing
their small hour efforts, literary and other
wise, because Of the increasing price Of
lamp-wicks.
The Standard Oil company's latest al
legged activity in the lamp-wick market is
regarded by dealers as one Of the best evil
dences that the Rockefeller interests have
no limit to their ambition or operations
Local dealers are not prepared to say
that the Standard Oil crowd is really re-
sponsible for the increase of SO per cent
made, locally, in the price Of lamp-wicks
in the past three months, but somebody is
boosting the price Of wicks and they have
kept just a little ahead of the cotton
market.
"All we really know about it is that the
manufacturers have raised 33 per cent on
us during the last three months and we
have bought and raised accordingly said
a wholesaler this morning. cit may be the
Standard Oil company which is reported
to be buying UP all the lamp-wick manu-
factories in the country, or it may just be
the high price Of cotton. We are just
keeping even with the market and raising
prices when we have to-

WILL RUSSIA
STOP EXPORTS?
EFFECT OF WAR ON WHEAT
ANXIOUSLY DISCUSSED.
II Russia Placed an Embargo on
Grain, Prices Would Soar to I'm
dreamt of Heights-Local Millers
Regard This AS a Remote POSSIBLE


War and flour, and the probable eff
feet Of the one upon the other, are
now matter Of prime local interest.
Minneapolis millers are watching the
war reports intently. Underlying the
situation there is possibility so great
that Its realization would affect the
milling industry beyond anything ex-
perienced in thirty-five years. It is
the possibility that Russia may stop
wheat exports.
That this will come about the Min
neapolis millers do not believe. The
scene of the conflict is so far from the
Black sea and Baltic ports that no
possible direct interference with the
export movement of Russian wheat
could arise under the present condi-
tions. Possibilities lie in the later
drawing into the conflict Of other pow
ers or in the issuance of, a ukase or
governmental order by Russia prohib-
iting grain exports.
In good year Russia raises approx
imately 500,O00,000 bushels Of wheat,
and has an exportable surplus.
America exported about 100000, 900
bushels of wheat in 1903, and Russia
about 121, 100000 bushels of which a
good part went to Liverpool.
Millers can see nothing in the pres
ent situation to justify apprehension
that Russia will stop exports, but
there is that possibility as later de-
velopment, this would mean a boom
in American wheat and flour prices
beyond anything known since the
Franco-Prussian war, when So wheat
was the rule in all markets.
No new flour orders from Japan are
reported. Millers say the Japanese
flour importers anticipated we'll and
were stocking UP for months prior to
the opening Of hostilities.

TO SAVE THE BIG TREES
MINNESOTANS ASKED TO CO.
OPERATE IN A NATIONAL

A meeting will be held tomorrow at s
p. m. in the mayors reception room in

forestry who have been invited to be-
come members of state council to CO.
operate with the Californians in their eff
forts to save from destruction the Gala
veras grove Of big trees. Governor Van
SAINT will serve as honorary chairman Of
the council Mrs. Lydia Phillips Williams,
chairman of the forestry committee of the
Minnesota Federation of Womens Clubs
is forming the council at the request Of
the Outdoor League of California. These
state councils have already been formed
or are in process of formation in twenty
two states.
The plan Of the Californians is to form
a strong congressional committee, with
the aid of the state councils, to act in
conjunction with the California represen-
tatives in devising ways and means Of
forwarding the passage of the big tree
bill Forestry experts and scientific men
generally are uniting with the club women
in this movement.
The councils are using as campaign
document the following brief formulation
Of facts from the report Of the United
States division of forestry:
First-The dimensions of the Big Tree are I'M
equaled.
second-The age of the Big Tree makes it the
oldest living thing.
Third-The majestic beauty Of the Big Tree is
unique and WorldrenOwned.
Fourth-It exists only in ten isolated
groves on the west slope Of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. and nowhere else in the world.
SiXth-The Mariposa grove is to-day the only
one of consequence which is completely pro-
tected.
Sixth-Most Of the scattered groves Of Big
Trees are privately owned, and, therefore, in
danger Of destruction.
Seventh-Lumbering is rapidly sweeping them
off; forty mills and logging companies are now
at work wholly or in part upon Big Tree timber
Eighth-The southern groves show some re-
production, thru which there is hope Of perpetu-
ating these groves; in the northern groves the
species hardly holds its own
Ninth-The species represents a surviving pre-
historic genus of trees growing widely over
the globe.

MILKMEN WONT STAND IT
REFUSE TO BEAR BLAME FOR
POOR MILK SERVED BY RES
TAURATEURS ~ CLASHES ARE
REPORTED.

Several saucy affairs between restaurant
managers and dairymen have occurred
since this paper published a story Of the
crusade of Milk Inspector w. D. Mccall
against the restaurants which sell
skinned milk and fatless cream for the
real farm products. Some of the restau-
rant keepers have tried to lay the blame
on the milkmen by declaring that they
served the milk just as it was delivered
to them from the dairy.
Here they made a serious mistake, for
often the maligned milkmen heard Of the
charges, and Immediately sought a vim
dicatfon, being invariably sustained by
the health department.
A great increase in the bottled milk in.
dustry is reported, as the more conscien-
tious caterers have decided to serve the
milk in sealed bottles so as to disarn
suspicion as far as their establishments
are concerned.

Last night DR.. Williams said that
the games with Northwestern and
gotiations with Nebraska were in the
final stage, the Nebraskans having
been offered Oct. 20, which they would
undoubtedly accept. When asked If
the gophers would play Iowa on
Thanksgiving Day, he said that he
would not deny it. Manager Reed de-
MED emphatically that game had
been or would be scheduled with ILL
nois.
The four principal games and the
probable dates will be:
Nebraska, at Minneapolis, Oct. 20.
Wisconsin, at Minneapolis, Nov. -.
Northwestern, at Chicago or Evanston
Nov. %.
Iowa, at Rock Island or Iowa City, Nov.
a.
The minor games which will open
the season are as yet undecided and
will remain SO until the big games are
finally settled. A game with Michigan
is now an impossibility, as all dates
late in the season are filled. There

management made no overtures, as a
request for a game on their part would
make it necessary that it be played al

would not be sufficient to warrant the

there and the Michigan authorities
made no proposals to Minnesota.

will play at the st. Louis exposition Il

made and a good opponent secured.

tirpate the evil. A Paris paper says
