War and Wheat.

The mere expectation Of hostili
ties between Russia and Japan, un.
supported by any overt act, caused
an advance in wheat at Chicago on
Saturday, the gain for short session

per bushel. Should this be main.
tsined-and it is more than probable
that it will bet means an ad-
dition of S22, 1923, TO to the value Of
Americas wheat crop for 1908, now
officially estimated at 637,822, 900
bushels, compared with 67O,O63, 900
in 1902 and 64S, 100000 bushels in
1901, which was the banner year for
wheat.
Side by side with the gain in
Chicago by reason of the war talk
comes significant statement from
the Liverpool Corn Trade News, a
recognized authority. According to
this journal the consumption of
wheat in Europe for four months to
December /, 1903, is estimated at a
rate of 100000 quarters in 1902
for the corresponding period, and
100000 quarters two years ago.
The Corn Trade News remarks;
1.-The increase in the rate of con-
sumption in Europe in the past
three seasons is most remarkable,
the average for 1901 'O2 to 1903 'O4
being l, 100000, compared with $780,
600, the average of the preceding
three years, or growth of 21O,0OO
quarters, or 30 per cent, and when
it is considered that the increase on
the continent is even greater than
in the United Kingdom the problem
is all the more puzzlin2. We cannot
believe that this ordinary denand
will be maintained throughout the
season, for it must not be forgotten

the opinion that the worlds wheat
consumption is growing much more
rapidly than the production. In the
last twenty five years the worlds
wheat production increased 53 per
cent. The Statist wants to know
where similar increase is to come
from in the next twent- five years.
According to the Statist's view, the
older wheat producing countries of
Europe and the United States have
now reached the limit of their sur
plus production.
To people who have kept a close
watch on the extension OF the wheat

The general conclusion of the

War Now Appears Inevitable.

To every appearance events in the
far east are now rapidly approach
ing on inevitable outbreak. The
Japanese minister in London has
made public the statement received
by him from Partisan sources that
r ,ssis has decided not to grant the
Japanese demands, and this is re-
garded as the prelude to an actual
outbreak Of hostilitiee.
Under these conditions it becomes
an important matter to see which
power will be first on the ground
with the most men. Russia is hur-
rying ships and men by the Snez
route and regiments are speeding
overland ns rapidly as possible.
Great Britain is increasing her naval
forca in Chinese waters, nnd other
nations are ordering their ships
where they can be made use OF in
case of an emergency.
i In sizing up the situation it ap
pears that Japan has one important
advantage which must not be over
looked. Practically the entire force
of the island empire is available fol
the war, but this is not the case with
Russia. Russia has foreign and do
nsstic foes that must be watched

and Indian Policeman William Maj
ors, all three picked men, none braver
in the Southwest. Trey went into
the tight with the three desperate
outlaws, knowing it meant death to
some, if not all of them. Haines
was the only officer wounded. A
bullet from Sam Martins Winchester
rifle plowed it's way through Haines'
right shoulder and coursed through
his back. The copper jacket sep

latter was cut out by Officer Bennett
within ten minutes after it had been
received by the other officer, but the
copper jacket took different course
and has thus far eluded the efforts
of surgeons to locate it. Haines'
condition is critical and he may not
survive to share the immense reward
offered for the death or capture of
the outlaws.
Following the battle the bodies of
the dead men were brought to
Guthrie for positive identification
and officers aid other citizens were
summoned here from all portions Of
the territory for that purpose. The
verdict was unanimous. The evi
dence showed that the Martins were
guilty of the robbery Of the Rock
Island station at Hennessy, Okla,
last spring and the murder of one
citizen during the robberyi guilty of
the robbery of the post office at
Hopetop, Okla last June; guilty of
the murder OF City Marshal Cross at
Gesry, Okla, in July; guilty of the
robbery of a hundred persons, inno-

in July; guilty of the robbery of
many citizens in Colorado, guilty of
the attempted robbery of the post
offices at Hennessy and Dover, Okla;
and guilty of the attempted robbery
of the Geary (okla.) bank. Citizens

The Martins and Simmons began
their career of outlawry about ten
years ago in the country where the
parents of both resided, honorable
and respected citizens. They began
with small robberies, including
horse stealing, and in fight with local
officers Sam Martin was shot IN
numerous places. They then fed to

WRECK NEAR LIND.
North Coast Limited Jumps the Track.
Thirteen People Injured.

Thirteen People Injured.
Thirteen people we're injured, two of
them seriously, by the North Coast
limited jumping the track a mile and a
quarter east of Lind, Wash, at $3.50
a. m. Saturday. The train was rushing
down the grade into Lind at 35 mile
clip, and as it reached the bottom,
where a section gang was working, the
tender and baggage car left the rails.
In an instant all was confusion Cars
damned into cars and were rammed
into the high embankment; passengers
were hurled with terrific force against
seats and sides of the coaches, and the
track was ploughed up for nearly 400
feet. The injured are:

was caught between car and embank-
.ment; may die.

Escape a Miracle.
Considering the speed of the train
coming down the heavy l per cent
grade on one side of a coulee the list
of fatalities is surprisingly short, and
it seems almost a miracle the train
was not entirely demolished. The line
has many curves in it, following the
contour of the hills, and the wreck oc-
Cured where there is a cut through
small promontory so that the bank on
the lower side kept the train from
rushing to destruction into the ditch.
So far the cause of the wreck is I'M
known. The Italian section gang was
at work on the track in the cut and
stepped back against the embankment
on either side to let the limited pass.
Later.
The cause of the train wreck is still
a mystery, but train officials thought it
could not have been that the section
crew left rail insecure, for the loco
motive, the heaviest piece in the train,
passed over safely and did not leave
the rails.
superintendent Beamer was at the
scene of the wreck all day yesterday.
1t will be few days before the wreck
is cleared away, and in the meantime
trains pass over a temporary track
laid around the wreck. 1t is more diff
ficult to remove the. wreckage of a
passenger train because it is necessary
to place the coaches back onto their
trucks and put the injured cars in con-
dition to travel again. In a freight
wreck the debris is thrown onto a
wrecking train and hauled away.
Until the wreck is cleared from the
track it will not be possible to deter
mine the cause-perhaps not then. 1t
can be seen that the rails and track
are badly torn up.
