CANADA WILL
WORRY EXPORTERS
PREMIER OF MANITOBA SEES
PROBLEM IN WHEAT MARKET.
r p. Robin Declares 100000 Bushels
from Canadian Northwest Will Be a
Formidable Factor to Be Reckoned
with by the American Exporter of
Wheat or Flour.

R. P. Robin, premier of Manitoba,
was in Minneapolis today having run
dow from Winnipeg to visit the fair.
Every department, especially everything
primarily agricultural, holds practical
interest for Mr.. Robin, who comes from
the part OF the northwest that is lead
ing the world in new development and
new wealth production from year to
year, and which this season stands ready
to move out into the world 8 markets a
total in grain never before equaled.
There is not the slightest doubt, Mr..
Robein says, that the Canadian north.
west has raised lOO,OOO,OOO bushels Of
wheat, and practically all of it is cut
and secured. Even continued weather
Of the most unfavorable kind could do
no more than lower the quality of the
grain standing unthreshed, while the
genera gen. prospects now appear favor favor
is all ssTe, which will be in few days
more. There is bumper oat crop.
The element of competition as viewed
from the American side is a greater con-
slderatlon this year than ever before.
Probably 75,OO0,000 bushels Of Cana
dian wheat, in all, will seek an outlet,
Mr. Robin says, and this the American
exporter of wheat or flour will have to
figure upon. Western Canada is wide
awake and out to do business with the
world. 1t has material to sell and it is
going to sell 1t. It wants good returns
and is not going to cut prices unneces-
sarily, but neither is she willing to lie
back and let America do the business,
and it is in position to compete with the
American exportable surplus and has
better facilities this year than ever
before for ahndling the trade.
Despite the evidence Of managerial
ability and foresight on the part Of the
roads in preparing for the big move
ment in manner more thoro and COM
| prehensive than ever before, Mr.. Robin
fears the season will not pass without
freight congestion. How much the in
terror country elevators can draw off
from the main current, and how fast the
farmers sell the crop, will be determin.
ing facors. Some relief will, be 'ob.
tanned thru minor channels, and with
fairly favorable conditions the edge
may be taken off at first, but, if the
flood Of grain were to burst at once
upon the roads, no facilities could
move it all. The railroads are in touch
with the situation in it's every phase
and are prepared to serve all interests
and keep the lines open and the grain
moving. .7.-..,,.-.--,. -.

smile. 1T I'M just down to see the Min
nesota fair and I M going to. see it all
which will keep me pretty busy,

The prisoner and his lawyer are in

MAYOR AND COUNCIL PREPARING
FOR DECISIVE ACTION.
Electrical Expert to Advise Action at a
Meeting Tomorrow Says Minneap-
oils Is One Of Worst Wired Cities in
Country-Court Decision Doesn't Gov
= er Present Situation.
Aerial electric wires of all kinds

Aerial electric wires Of all kinds
must 90. r.'.- -w. d..
Mayor D. P. Jones announced today
that the time had come to act, and
that the council committee on under
ground wires would meet the. members
of the Minneapolis Underwriters as
ISOLATION tomorrow to discuss measures
to compel planting Of all wires in the
shortest possible time.
This time the mayor and the mem,
berss of the committee have obtained
the best legal advice at hand and are
prepared to fight the matter thru. In
order that they may not be annoyed
have obtained the services of William
S. Boyd electrical inspector for the
National Board Of Fire Underwriters.
He will arrive in Minneapolis tomor-
row and will tell the mayor and COM
mittee exactly where Minneapolis
stands as regards its electric wiring
system. - "
Mr.. Boyd has given o full report to
the association on two occasions, show
ing the prevailing conditions here. The
report is not complimentary to the city.
Ten wiremen have lost their lives in
the past three years while working at
their trade. The overhead wires are 50
poorly put up and the protection at
points Of intersection with other sys,
TENS so weak that The lives of repair
men are constantly menaced. Aside
from this, there have been scores of
serious accidents resulting from wires
storms. The reports further state that
the aerial construction in Minneapolis
often prevents fremen from rendering
their best service at the big fires aro
that 80 per cent Of the large fire losses
are caused bv poor wiring. Cheap la
Dor has been employed to put up the
wires and since their installation they
have never bee Unexpected. For its
size Minneapolis is one of the worst
wired cities in the United States.
Rely on Old Decision.
The ordinance requiring the com
| panies to put their lines underground
| within certain limits was passed fv
years ago, but little has been done b.
| the companies, and the officials hav
not enforced the law. Three years ag
an attempt was made to compel tn
| General Electric company to put it
Lake street wires underground, an
| pany was not obliged to do so at tina
time. Relying on this decision, tn
| General Electric company and other
! have neglected to comply with the ord
| nance.
Mayor Jones has recently seen sew
eral attorneys, who have advised hir
to take up the matter, saying that, i
their opinion, the court decision o
three years ago does not cover tn
present situation. The question wi
be thoroly threshed over at the con
mittee meeting tomorrow Afternoon
and probably will be presented to tn
council at the next meeting. !
