English Purchases of wheat.

Boston Herald.
 The reports of the wheat market in England indicate that shipments from the United States have undergone a great falling off during the present year. The cereal year in the United Kingdom ends on August 31 of each calendar year. We still led the world, but were closely pressed by India, and with Russia coming not far behind. Four or five years ago we were selling to the people of the United Kingdom nearly twO-thirds of their wheat, while in the last year our sales have drop ped to only about a quarter of their purchases. Whether this is a forecast of a permanent change, 1t is probably too soon to decide. Certain 1t is, however, that the record 'of the cereal year 1904 exhibits the poorest relative showing we have made in the English market in wheat selling for more than a quarter of a century.

It is very evident that the President is to have some strenuous times in the near future. What ls to become of that member of his cabinet, who as an executive officer of a railroad for years plainly and palpably violated the laws of the land and the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission? Can the President afford to hold on to hardened law breaker, and yet try to secure the enactment of laws looking to control and regulation of railroads? All the talk of tariff reduction has vanS ished into thin air in the face of the op- position of the stand patters of his own party, and 1t is very doubtful whether or not he can force any rail- road rate legislation that will meet his views. Verify there are some worry ing days ahead for the President.

Editor The Advertiser:
 There is a growing opinion that 1t is not good business policy to keep large sums of the peoples money locked up in the vaults of our State treasury, withdrawn from circulation and bringing no income, not even to the State.

And that the average daily cash bal ance was $I,17S,942.
 If we had law creating a board of finance, composed of the Governor and the heads of the departments, with power to place, say $I,OO0UOO, in such banks as they might seAect, the oe- pusIts to be secured by State bonds placed in the hands of the treasurer In amounts equal tu the deposits, the banks to pay Z per cent. interest on the deposits, the State would receive $2U,UOU per annum, where it now re- celVes nothing
 This proposition would work for the good of all concerned. As shown above the State would be benehted IL would keep the money in circulation and thereby benent the people. The banks could buy the bonds anu receIve 5, or 8 l-2 per cent interest on them as the case may be, and have to pay only per cent. interest on the depos- its.
 If the Legislature should meet in special session and would pass d law to put thIs plan in operation 1t would be d prohlaDIe move for the State as it would bring in $2O,0OO the first year. The last Legislature cost about $1,UOO per day. Should it require ten days to pass the needed laws the State would be $1O,O00 ahead on the first year. Wm. R, Sawyer.

The Blakeslee Bass Hatchery, New Preston.

from time to time during the summer so that we could keep up with their demands for food. Finally early in October the nurseries were drawn and the remaining fish planted.
 At this time the fish had made growth of from four to five inches, and were in fine condition. From 16,OOO fry placed in nursery ponds, about 14,O00 were planted during the summer and fall, ranging from one and one-half to five inches in length. During the fall, some additions were made to the breeding stock, and everything put in shape for the winter.
 The following spring Q9O4), sec Ond large tank was constructed which would give more room for holding the fry, and every preparation made for the spawning season. The first pair of bass spawned on May 12, and there was present eggs, fry, or both in vari- ous stages of development continu- ously for the next 46 days. The fry product which exceeded that of last year, was held in the tanks and given good start. The Commissioners had received large number of applica- tions for bass, and all were liberally supplied.
 About 20, 900 of the fry were placed in the nursery ponds, and when they had made a growth of one and one- half inches, the ponds were drawn, and all on hand were planted.
 This practically closed the period of active work at the hatchery for the season, and also the second season of successful propagation of the small mouth black bass.
 The work of the two past seasons has fully demonstr ated that it is now possible to secure supply of young bass for restocking lakes and streams where this splendid game fish is in great danger of becoming extinct, Henry w. Beeman.

 In an early morning fire which de- stroyed the house owned by James

The fire started shortly before o'clock.

When discovered the flames had enveloped the portion of the house awakened Mrs Beers, who slept down. stairs, and she in turn awakened her husband and their two sons.

MONUMENT TO
BENNINGTON DEAD

SAN DIEGO, August 10.-Rear-Ad-
miral G. F. Goodrich has caused to be
issued over his signature a circular
calling the attention of the men of the
Navy to the fact that it has been pro-
posed that the officers and men OF the
Pacific squadron erect a monument to
the victims of the Bennington disas-
ter at the Military Cemetery at Point
Iona. He suggests that a plain lofty
granite shaft be securely mounted TOR
all time on a commanding site in view
of the shipping entering the harbor,
and where visitors TO this city and
the residents may be kept in perpetual
remembrance of the Nation s dead. 1t
is estimated that such shaft forty or
fifty feet tall will cost in the neigh
borhood of $500.
1t is recommended that each ship s
company of this squadron select a
representative to serve on general
committee; that an amount (however
distributed) equivalent in all to about
SIS for each person on board be raised
for the purpose named and placed
with the fleet paymaster as treasurer
for disbursement, and that the general
committee select an executive commit
tee of three.
Secretary Wood of the board of con-
troll of the Bennington Memorial Asso-
citation has received word from Paul
Morton, formerly Secretary OF the
Navy, saying that he is in accord with
the idea of erecting in San Diego a
sailors home as memorial to the
Bennington dead, and that he will be
glad to act as a member of the adj
