Congested Conditions Of
Great Elevators in West.
Railroads Are Unable to Handle
the Great Overflow Crop.
Total Of 60,oOO,OOO Bushels Await Hand
ling by Railroads.

st. Paul. Mimi, Nov 24.-The re-
sponsipility for dear money in the
West and consequently in the East.
because the East is getting little West
ern money now, may be largely attrib-
uted to the COngeSted condition of the
grain elevators and warehouses of the
West. F'orty-two million dollars tied
up in grain can result in nothing short
OF a tight money market, and there ap-
pears TO be no relief in sight until the
railroads can get this grain to market
or until the farmers and elevator COM
panieS who are able to hold it, can
realize better prices than they are now
getting 1t is difficult to furnish more
than an approximate estimate of the
country elevator capacity, but the best
posted authorities are inclined to place
the total storage capacity at 100000
to $4,000. 900 bushels.
To say that this enormous capacity
has already been utilized to within %
per cent. Of its maximum would be put
ting it mildly, according to these au-
thorItieS who are Of the opinion that
the country elevators now contain So
900 Geo bushels of grain, more than half
of it wheat, and that in addition there
are perhaps 5000. 900 to 10000 900 bushels
of grain in transit to terminals.
The figures given have been arrived at
by careful figuring, based upon thor
ough understanding of the elevators in
the three Wheat-producing states.
There are $4,000, 0G0 bushels. the aver
age cost of which is not far from
seventy cents at country points. and
mostly all nnanced from terminal mar
kets.
The impossiblity of transporting the
grain by the railroads has forced many
of the farmers and elevators of the
Northwest to dump the grain on the
ground, and this condition is not infre-
qIent. For two weeks during the lat
ter part Of October and the fore part
of November wheat traffic gave way
for the transportation of the more
profitab BILE livestock from the Western
ranges. and during these two weeks
more grain accumulated at country
elevators than can be transported to
terminal puints-Duluth, Minneapolis
and Cnicago-bcforc January first, and
as it mas all practically been paid for,
the owners must await its tranSpOrta-
ton ana sale before realizing and pay
ing up their loans. The Western
farmer. however. has the cash. and the
country merchants and city jobbers are
rearing the benefit. though the elc-
vItGrs may have to pay interest on the
purchase money.

To Be Held in Connection With Win

Pullman, Wash, Dec. 18.-The wheat
convention to be held here on Thurs
day and Friday, January II and II, in
connection with the winter school for
farmers, under the auspices of the
Washington State college, gives prom.
Use of being one of the most import
ant meetings of the winter, and the
indications are that it will be attend
ed by notable gathering of prominent
men from all parts of the state. The
prime object OF the convention is to
bring together the various interests of
the wheat industry, from the producer
to the baker. Wheat being the prin-
cipal product of a large portion Of the
agricultural section of the state, the
Importance of meeting Of all those
interested in the industry for the pur-
pose of comforting together, exchang-
ing ideas and promoting mutual inter
ests can not be overestimated. 1t is
the intention to perfect an organiza-
ton of those interested in the wheat
industry for the purpose of boosting
the flour trade in the orient and from
this source alone valuable results are
expected.

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT DEFIANT
Police Hunt Down and Throw Into
Jail Leaders of the ProIetariat
White Terror Returns.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 1S.-A shudder
of horror has convulsed Russia. The
government claims it has given battle
only to the red revolutionists, but
the populace generally believes that
the white terror" has returned. AL
ready the leaders of the prOletariat
agitation who escaped capture Satur-
day night at the economic society, and
even men of the rank of Professor
Milukoff are in hiding from the police,
who are hunting them down. The gov
eminent evidently anticipates battle
royal and has made it's dispositions &C.
cordingly. 1t fully understands that
the proletariat will give blow for blow
in answer to the wholesale arrests.
The workmen's council and the
league of leagues Saturday night is
sued a declaration of a general strike,
to begin Immediately, and consequent
ly by an imperial ukase published this
nors and projects throughout the en-
pire who are cut off by telegraph are
clothed with almost dictatorial powers,
being authorized without consultation
with St. petersburg to declare state
of siege and if necessary even martial
law.
AS most of the provincial authorities
are reactionary officials Of the old re-
CINE, the advantage they will take OF
such power to terrorize the populace
can be easily imagined, they being IN
a position to become petty tyrants and
wage war each in his own particular
fashion against the revolutionists.

French Inventor Can Travel rs Miles
an Hour.
Parisians were startled recently by
seeing a big booted man whizzing
along Avenue Champs Elysee and Bots
de Boulogne at the rate of rs miles
an hour. 1t was Constantine, inven-
tor of motor boots, displaying his new
footwear.
The boots resemble tiny automo-
biles, Is inches long, fixed on high
boots. Each has four rubber tired
wheels, eight inches in diameter. Ac-
cumulators are carried in a belt. They
transmit by wires one and one fourth
horse power to each motor. The mo-
tors can be run at speed ranging
from six to 80 miles an hour. Each
boot weighs 16 pounds, but as the feet
are not lifted up the weight does not
matter.
Constantine claims to have travelled
several hundred miles with them. He
intends to travel from Paris to st.
Petersburg on them. When asked
what happens if one motor started at
the rate of six and the other at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, he became
difident and declined to discuss the
subject.

CUT EXPENSES ON THE ISTHMUs.
Roosevelt Gives High Officials Strict
Orders,

President Roosevelt has taken up
the matters connected with the 18TH
milan canal, as developed by debate in
the senate during the first of the week.
He is determined to prevent further
criticism of the character put forward
by Senators Tillman, Culberson and
others.
Senators Allison and Hale, both
members Of the appropriation commit
tee, were present. The president made
it plain to Mr. Shonts that the literary
bureau in charge of Secretary Bishop
must be at once discontinued and Mr..
Bishop confine his services purely to
administrative matters. He also dis
cussed the advisability of reducing his
salary from the $4,000 now paid to
$4,000, or some other moderate sum. It
was also made apparent to Chairman
Shonts that if he still has an official
connection with the Glover Leaf rail-
road, il must be severed Immediately.
Senator Tillman declared that Mr..
Shonts is still active president Of the
system and neither Mr.. Shonts nor
any of the administration senators
have entered a denial of the declara-
ton.
The president further gave Mr..
Snonts much advice regarding the con-
duct of affairs on the isthmus. It is
prescribed in the presidents orders
that the canal commission must leave
at once for that place.
The bill appropriating $11,OOOOOO for
the canal work, passed by the senate
yesterday, provides that within 80 days
the secretary of the treasury must fur
nish estimates to the senate and house
appropriations committees of all
salaries paid those employed on canal
work except laborers and unskilled
laborers. This feature of the bill
was discussed with Senators ALI
son and Hale. 1t is believed that
many reforms will be instituted in the
administration of the canal before an
other appropriation is requested from
congress. This work of reform must
begin at once, as Secretary Taft says
the $11 100000 now being obtained will
last no longer than the first of April
at the outside.
In the meantime Senator Tillman
will begin a strong agitation after the
holiday recess for thorough investi-
cation of the entire canal situation. He
will be opposed by the republicans, but
supported by the democrats. Even
some of the republicans favor an in
quiry, and Senator Tillman threatens
to cause much trouble unless matters
are put on such basis as to prevent
just criticism.
