No Owner to Valuable Lands.

Another parcel of real estate in
Brooklyn is discovered to have nc
owner of record, and taxes are piling
up on sS5O,OOO slice of the Green
point district. Two weeks ago 1t was
found that in South Brooklyn there
were eleven parcels, valued at $780,
600, for which the city had no record
OF the owners. But the big parcel in
Manhattan avenue, between Ash street
and Newton creek, offers the most I'M
accountable mystery. Real estate
agents have no knowledge OF the
owners. Who collects the rents for
the factories on the land is a secret
the tenants profess not to know.

French MllIlonalrea

The French ministry of finance has
just published the statistics of wills
proved in France in 1903, and from
this it is evident that he number OF
very rich people in the country has
been grossly exaggerated. Last year
only 497 wills, leaving more than
100000 francs, or 100000, were
proved, and of these only IA exceeded
100000 francs, of $4,000. There
were only eight fortunes of over TO-
100000 francs, or 100000, and the
highest Of all was of the exceptional
value of 100000. 1t is evident,
then, that the real millionaires in
France are very few, but it should be
noted that rich men in France marry
rich wives, so that family may be
much more wealthy than the will Of
either father or mother would imply.

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOR WHEAT.
A Crop Of 100000 Bushels of Wheat
Will Be the Record of 1904.

n Crop OF oU,UUU,UUU BUSHELS OF Wheat
Will Be the Record Of 1904.
The results Of the threshing In
Western Canada are not yet complet-
ed, but from information at hand, it Is
safe to say that the average per acre
will be reasonably high, and fair
estimate will place the total yield of
wheat at 100000 bushels. At pres
ent prices this will add to the wealth
Of the farmers nearly $60,000,000.
Then think of the immense yield of
oats and barley, and the large herds
of cattle, for all Of which good prices
will be paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister Of the Interior, to Lord Strath-
coma, High Commissioner for Can
ada:
Am now able to state definitely
that under conditions of unusual diff
Guilty in Northwest fair average crop
Of wheat of good quality has been

stantial damage. The reports of in
jury by frost and rust were grossly
exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from fifty-five to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good and the
price is ranging around one dollar
per bushel"
Frank H. Spearman, in the Satur-
day Evening Post, says:
when our first transcontinertn
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isotherman demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north of where the line
was projected; but the real granary
of the world lies up to 300 miles north
OF the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors of Canada for its bread. Rail-
road men see such day; 1t may be
hoped that statesmen also will see 1t,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to a degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.
Despite the fact that for years a little
Dakota station on the st. Paul road

the largest primary grain market in
the world, the Dakotas and Minnesota
will one day yield their palm to Sas-
katchewan."

Warning TO Housewives,

The average consumer OF baking DOW
der does not know that a reaction occurs
in the process Of baking. Whenever
chemical reaction takes place. the nature
Of the original materials Is entirely
changed, so that the substances which
remain In the food to be eaten are very
different from those which composed the
baking powder before baking. For this
reason, the statement that a baking
powder contains alum or cream OF tartar
Is worthless 80 far as informing the
consumer as to what he eats. What the
consumer wants to know Is what goes
into his stomach. not what is in the can.
Food prepared with a cream OF tartar
baking powder does not contain any
cream OF tartar Just as food prepared

Tob lcco Receipts.

The total government receipts from
tobacco from all sources were $44,-
655,SOS.75 for the fiscal year, against
$43,514,S 10.24 for the fical year 1902
1909, or an increase of $1,14O, 99S.51.
This increase is participated in by all
branches of the trade except cigar
manufacture-here we see a decrease
of 1926, 1861. AS cigar manufacturing
shows the worst condition, so tobacco
manufacture shows the best condition.
Receipts for this branch of the trade
exceeded the receipts for the previous
fiscal year by $1,007, 790.02.

DEMOCRATS AND THE CAFAL.

If the Democrats of the Senate, of
whom there are enough to destroy the
chances of the canal treaty providing
a few insurgents stick on the Repub-
lican side, are actually going to fight it,
the chances of getting a canal may be
called dubious. Historically the Demo-
Gratis are for an isthmian waterway.
They declared for it more than half a
century ago and have since denounced
the Republican party for not digging it,
But in the face of exigent politics they
stand ready, as they have done so many
times before, to throw principles afa-
and plight their troth to expediency.
Rather than let the Republican party
add canal to it's great achievements
they would oppose building one; rather
than forego the chance to raise a fill
clustering issue against Roosevelt they
would annul the treaty with Panama
and turn that young republic over to
the vengeance of Colombia; rather than
forego the bride of the railroad inter
ests which are ready to pay the cost
of campaign against Roosevelt, they
would repudiate their own declarations
and let the note-in-hand they gave the
world so long ago go on file protested.
1t is a fault of our Republican sTs-
tenn of government that on great
projects of world utility and OF special
domestic advantage, the people and
their leaders cannot act as citizens
rather than as partisans. For fifteen
years the United States was left unde-
Tended either by modern forts or ships
because the politicians did not dare ap.
propriate. The Democrats would DO
nothing in Congress to add to the
achievements of a Republican admins
tration nor to give it control of large
bodies of mechanics and Iaborers such
as program of defence building would
call for. The Pan-American conference
was made abortive largely by factional
opposition. But for the same bad in
nuence we should have long ago had
all Samoa. Even harbor improvement
has become more or less of a political
issue and the organization of the Army
was so until lately, when it emerged
into national favor by sheer force of
circumstances. s.
Perhaps, in the present emergency.
Roosevelt may engineer the treaty
