The Globe and the governor do not seem
to agree altogether as to what is meant by
'the northwest" The Globe evidently re-
CARDS Washington and the Puget Sound as
the most important part of the northwest,
whereas the governor evidently confines
his chief concern about the northwest to
Minnesota and the adjacent states west
ward. of which Minneapolis and st. Paul
and Duluth are the market eenters. The
Globe has great deal to say about the
routing Of oriental transcontinental traf-
fic by way of the sound as against the
San Francisco route, while the governor
frankly admits that in bringing the merger
suit and adopting the policy which eventu-
ally led to the dissolution of the Northern
Securities company he wasn't thinking
much about that; he was chiefly concerned
in the complete destruction of all eompe-
titien between the merged roads for the

FASHIONS in THE FOREST

"A tiger met leopard one fine spring
morning walking thru the jungle. 'If
were such a polka dotted jay as you
are" he sneered, I'D go off and hang
myself
well, wouldn't be barber pole like
you," retorted the leopard. Nobody but
working people like the zebras wear
stripes any more"
Il don't know who you buy your clothes
off, said the tiger, glazing, nor where
he gets his styles from, but I have four
paws here that say you're utterly out of
date"
And I've got four just as good paws
as you have, to answer you with" the
leopard replied.
So they doubled up their paws into fists
and they fought and then clawed till
nobody could have told which one was
striped and which one was spotted.
They Doubled Up Their Paws.
They were sitting up licking their
wounds and bruises, when jackal news
boy came past with the latest number
of Forest Fashions for sale.
They bought it. eagerly, turned to the
page which said Spring Styles for
Gents" and read that the proper thing
was plain, solid colors!
Say said the tiger, you could buy
me for IL cents!"
Same here, said the leopard, t'What
foolish creatures we were to fight about
the fashions, anyhoW!"

The game of war IS played to-day about

the results are like they have always

To-day It is the same thing, only ''blood,

Here is a sample of the way he wrote
up things in Sevastopol. He is telling Of

Next to having your leg shot off to find
out what the sensation is, a description
like that would seem to give about the
best obtainable idea of the experience.
This is not an attempt to review story

The Wheat Supply.

Much interest now attaches to the
question of how much old crop wheat
the country will carry over this year.
There is nothing in sight to indicate
that the country will raise larger
crop this year than last, and some
opinions incline towards the expecta-
ton Of a smaller yield. Naturally
there is disposition to look very close
ly into the matter of old supplies.
w. S. Warren, former president of
the Chicago Board of Trade, and
George Broomhall, tle Liverpool
grain trade statistician, have been go
ing into this proposition, their figures
appearing in the current Bradstreets'.
Mr.. Warren's report, in consideration,
takes the 100000 bushels in ware
house stocks in the United States and
adds the 132,0OO,OO0 bushels that the
government reported as the quantity
Against this 177,O00,000 bushels he
places consumption from March 1 to
July 81, at 100000 bushels a day,
or 153,000,000 bushels, and with 49,
100000 bushels for spring wheat seed,
accounts for 178,000,000 bushels,
which would leave the country bare
of old crop wheat Aug. 1, even if
nothing be exported meanwhile.
Broomhall figures it to June 81, and
finds total available supply Of 205,-
100000 bushels to begin with, which
! includes farmers stocks, agrees with
Warren that domestic consumption
will absorb 100000 bushels a day,
and that spring seeding will require
25,000,000 bushels. Exports for
seventeen and one-half weeks he es-
Inmates at 100000 bushels week OF
28,00O,O0O bushels. This would take
175, 100000 bushels and leave the
country with 100000 bushels July 1
No figures are infallible, least Of al
those dealing with a proposition sc
vast as wheat. Yet it is worthy. OF
note that these two estimators, the
one viewing it close at hand, the
other at long range, arrive at substan
TALLY the same conclusion.
Broomhall ends his crop year thirty
days earlier than Warren, and figure:
on having 100000 bushels left Of
enough to supply consumptive re
quirements for the difference in time
The gist Of it Is that unless exports
and consumptive demand fall below
normal, the country will be abou
cleaned out of old wheat by the TIM
the new crop begins to move freely.
This looks like good support Of tn
contention made some time ago tina
the northwest could this year raise al
enormous wheat crop and still ge
: very satisfactory prices for it.

The weather continues to be a sub

interest with all Of it's antiquity. Pos
Sfbly we might have become blase and
ceased to talk about the weather if it
had not been for the delightful varie-
ties, delightful at least In their variety,
that have been presented within the
last year. Following summer so
cold that the oldest settlers" every

all their experience they had never
seen anything like it, came the cold
est winter the country has experienced
east say that not in seventy years has
there been such a winter from rail-
road point Of view. 1t is now nearly
the first of May, but the snow still lies
deep in the northern woods, and in
some of the eastern cities, packed ice,
mud and filth of the winter still in
cumber the streets. These are the
remnants Of winter in winter.
Now comes news of second winter
New York telegraphs that billiards.
prevail in central and northern New
York; the one at Lyons N. Y, being
the most severe of the year; foot of
snow has fallen at Ogdensburg, and
trains are much delayed. From the

Tenn, come reports Of heavy snow
and freezing temperature. At ST. Louis,
supposed to be the warmest city on the
continent, the Filipinos at the worlds

the sight of snow. Kentucky reports

Just now we are slightly more for
tunate in the northwest, but here the
spring is at least two weeks late and
there seems to be no warmth in the
suns rays. If the rest of the spring
and summer season is to correspond
with what we have already had, we
are in for another cold summer. Once
in a great while remarkably excep
tional seasons occur in all climates
The summer of 1916 was probably the
most extraordinary ever experienced
in the United States. Frost and iet
occurred during the summer months
and In the northern states great scare
ity of foodstuffs resulted. A differ
ence of two Or three degrees in tn,

makes the difference between success
and failure with many crops, just as {
