FINDS BIG WHEAT SHORTAGE.
Corwin II. Spencer Returns from
Trip Through Northwest ana Pre-
diets High Price for Cereal.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-"No man on earth
can make an. intelligent estimate of
the wheat crop Of the three northwest
ern states and Manitoba and the north
west territories" said G. H. Spencer,
Of st. Louis, who returned from trip
covering the best wheat sections In the
northwest. People up there who know
the country say there has been moth
ing like 1t since 1878. The black rust
has killed their crop in many places. or
cut 1t down to such an extent that only
the thrasher can tell the tale. The
elevator men and millers estimate the
crop of Minnesota and the Dakotas
from $4,000, 900 to 130,000,000 bushels
for the three states. From all l could
see and learn we have a short crop Of
wheat. Ohio, Indiana and Michigan
will. I believe, have to import about
35,000,O0O bushels this year. I do not
feel uneasy about the long side OF
wheat and believe that 1t will be want
ed at good prices before another crop.
No one can tell how high 1t will sell
before another crop. sold wheat at
$1.14 on the last crop and think 1t
should sell much higher on this, as
both America and Europe have short
crops. My opinion Is based on what
have seen. The popular idea Of most
of the trade is to operate mainly on
the price instead of the conditions"

President Francis Tells Bank Clerks
That Expenses Of Worlds Fair
Are $65, 900 a Day.

st. Louis, Aug. 26.-President David
R. Francis, of the exposition, addressed
the national convention of bank clerks.
His remarks were of especial interest,
as the figures he gave are the first Off
cial statements regarding the cost Of
maintaining the exposition. He said
In part: "The cost Of maintaining the
Louisiana Purchase exposition is ap-
proximately $4,000 day. That
amount includes every legitimate ex-
pense Of the exposition. We are under
contract, however, to repay to the
United States government a loan Of
$4,600,000 by payments Of 100000
every two weeks. Including that
amount in the daily expenses Of the
exposition the entire amount of our ex-
pense is $65, 1000 day, but as the gov
eminent loan is more than half repaid,
the S31 900 basis will soon be the total
Of our expenses"

TRIUMPH OF CHURCH
REED SHOOT WILL NAME SENATOR.


Salt Lake City. Aug. 26.-After Bit
ter all-day fight John G. Cutler, of Salt
Lake City, was nominated for governor
by the republican state convention on
the second ballot. The fight for the
governorship was three-cornered one
between Gov. Heber M. Wells, now
serving his second term in that office;
James H. Hammond, present secretary
of state, and John G. Cutler, q promi-
nent merchant Of Salt Lake City, and
absorbed the attention of the delegates
to the exclusion Of the rest Of the
ticket. Mr.. Hammond withdrew after
the first ballot. The second ballot
stood: Cutler, 239; Wells, 221.
Charges that church influence was
being used in behalf Of Mr.. Cutler were
freely made by the adherents of Gov.
Wells and Mr.. Hammond. Indirectly
the fight for the United States senator
ship in the Utah legislature next win
ter was brought In the contest, Sena-
tor Smoot, who Is one Of the IL apos-
ties of the Mormon church, being an
open and active supporter Of Mr.. Cut
Ter, while Gov. Wells was helped in
his campaign by Senator Kearns. Dur
ing the balloting the feeling between
the Wells and Cutler adherents broke
forth several times, but charges Of
church influence, which were expected
to be made in the convention hall, did
not materialize.
