OF q charming young lady who will
visit in Honolulu the latter part Of
summer or early in the fall, a Salt
Lake (Utah) dispatch says:
Miss Louise Grace Emery became IS
years old today. simultaneously she
received the title to an estate valued
at s., 1000, 0D0. Miss Emery has been be-
set with offers of marriage, though
every effort has been made to keep
the fact Oh her wealth concealed. She
has graduated from an Eastern fin
ishing school and even there she re-
ceived letters from many men, seek
ing marriage.
Miss Emery's father was A. p. EN-
cry, one of the original proprietors of
the Silver King mine in Park City,
Utah. in which Thomas Kearns was In
terested. When he died ten years ago
his estate was divided between his
daughter and his widow, known as the

The money is nearly all invested in

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 a larg-~
crop this year than last, and some
opinions incline towards the expecta-
! ton of smaller yield. Naturally
there is a disposition to look very
| closely into the matter of old sup
plies.
W. s. Warren. former president Of
| the Chicago board of trade. and
George BroomhalI, the Liverpool grain
| trade statstician, have been going
| into this proposition, their figures ap-
/ pearing in the current Bradstreets
! Mr.. Warren's report, in consideration
takes the 45,000.00O bushels in ware
| house stocks in the United States and
adds the 100000 bushels that the
| government reported as the quantity
remaining in farmers hands March 1.
| places consumption from March l to
| July 81 at 100000 bushels a day. or
153,O0O,000 bushels. and with 25.O0o,-
600 bushels for spring wheat seed. ac-
counts for 17S,0OO,00O bushels, which
would leave the country bare of old
crop wheat August l. even if nothing
be exported meanwhile.
BroomhaIl figures it to June 81, and
finds total visible supply of 205.-
100000 bushels to begin with, which
includes farmers stocks. and agrees
with Warren that domestic consump-
ton will absorb 1000. 900 bushels a day
and that spring seeding will require
25,O00,000 bushels. Exports for seven
teen and One-half weeks he estimates
at 1905 900 bushels a week or 2S.OOO.-
600 bushels. This would take 49,
100000 bushels and leave the country
with 100000 bushels July I.
No figures are infalible least of all
those dealing with a proposition so
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.
Broomhan ends his crop year thirty
days earlier than Warren, and figures
on having 3O.O00,O0O bushels left or
enough to supply consumptive re-
quirements for the difference in time.
The gst of it is that unless exports
and consumptive demand fall below
normal, the country will be about
cleaned out of old wheat by the time
the new crop begins to move freely.
This looks like good support of the
contention made some time ago that
the northwest could this year raise an
enormous wheat crop and still get
very satisfactory prices for it.

depends on France being foolish
enough to go to the aid of her ally
Russia. whet' England will become
involved in t..e :trugg,e for supremacy

on the soft corns of the triple alliance
which has lately been renewed for
a term of years.
As Ia the Novoye Vremya's attack
on our government, after Count Cas-
SIMS oily assurances to Secretary
Hay of his country's undying friend
ship for us, it is correct as to the
American purpose of ultimately CON
trolling the bulk of the trale of the
Pacific IittOral. We expect such ac-
QUESTION long before Russia succeeds
in getting herself in a condition to
expand her trade on the Asiatic con-
tinent. We can laugh at the charac-
terization of ''upstart," with the i'm

( On January ODD IN an article
headed. is Not Needed.' the I'm
ion said:
1t is doubtfdl if in single state
in the Union it will be found that a
railway commission has been of
any practical service or permanent
benefit TO the people. In most of
the states where a commission is
in force railroad building and de-
VelOpment are at StandStlll, and
in practically all of them the
amount of railroad building that
will be done in the future is very
small, While in the state of Wash
ington ANA nearly all the western
states railroad building has
scarcely begun and vast areas of
territory are undeve.oped and I'M
settled and will remain SO until
railroads are built to develop them.
1t will be % and per-
haps 30 years hence before the
point will be reached when the
state Of Washington Will have all
the railroads necessary for its de-
VelOpment and growth. If there is
any good to be derived from a
railway commission it will be
ample time then to enact a law
creating such a commission. Why
anticipate the needs OF the country
a quarter or a half century by en-
acting law which possibly might
do some good then, but for which
there is not now any need and
which might result in an injury to
the state? 1t is the Durest nom
sense to contend that it will ac-
complish any good for the state or
the taxpayers at large.
A railroad commission will rot
help the farmers of western WASH
ingtOn nor the business men or
citizens of any other part of the
state. When it has accomplished
the purposes for which it is urged.
if the state should ever commit
such a foolish parody. it will dis
appear from the front of the stage
and the men who are now clamOr-
ing the lOUdeSt for it will not be
in evidence to explain why it does
not do the business or if they
should be. Will have a ready excuse
for its inability to accomplish
what they claimed"
