Billions of Bushels.
icago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
The crop estimates that were presented
in Yesterdays Record-Herald were most
encouraging. Records are to be broken ap-
parently, and the continued prosperity of
the farmers seems assured 1t is interest
ing to pause over the figures for the sug-
gestions they give of the enormous pro-
ducing power of the country. While mil
lions and billions of bushels defy the i'm
agination we may learn something by
comparisons. There has been much talk
of late years of what Canada was doing In
wheat raising and of the immigration of
American farmers to the promising fields
of the dominion. Now the statistical year
book of Canada puts the wheat production
of Ontario. Manitoba, New Brunswick and
the northwest territories for 1904 at 3d.
029, 266 bushels. AS against this We have
the following 1905 estimates for three
American states: Kansas 1000. 900 bush
els; North Dakota, 100000 bushels; Min
nesota, 100000 bushels. OF these three
wheat states Kansas Is also set down for
275. 100000 bushels of corn and page. coo
bushels OF oats. Corn is a negligible guam
tity in the Canadian provinces named ex-
cept Ontario, where the average crop Is less
than 25.0O0.OOO bushels These provinces
together produced 159.944,235 bushels OF
oats in 1904.
Iowa and Illinois lead in corn production
with S6O,0O0,oOO and 31000o.O0O bushels.
respectively. These states lead in oats
also, the figures being: Iowa t33, 10000
and Illinois $4,000 COO No foreign coun-
try comes anywhere near either of them In
the production Of corn. Only Russia. Ger
many, France and Great Britain surpasa
them In the production of oats. The
United States as a whole leads the world
in the production of wheat and oats and
ranks third in the production of barley
with Russia and Germany first and second
1t produces some two billions OF bushels OF
corn more than all the rest of tho worlt
put together. But its production of rye is
comparatively speaking, Insignificant lesf
than thirty millions Of bushels whereas
Russia produces about nine hundred mil.

Nevada's Subtle Bid.

From the Chicago Post.
Nevada has given US another opportunity
to study the way of the west and to COM
pare 1t with the way of the east. The
snowy state would advance its claim to be
known a summer resort. and 1t knows
the attractive power of the sea serpent
story. But It also knows that 1t has no sea.
Now. this fact would stump efrectually any
eastern state. The fancy of the east is not
nimble enough to get over such an obstacle
the combination of a sealess waste with
a sea serpent. Such dilemma, on the other
hand, simply stimulates the fancy of the
west.
First Nevada goes to science and learns
that the sea once covered the deserts and
lava beds of that part of the continent.
Where there once was there must have
been sea serpents; and If serpents, then
why not their fossil remains?
Again Nevada appeals TO the scientists
and they respond nobly. They discover the
well-preserved skeleton of a sea serpent
in the South American canyon, in Hum
boldt county. The skeleton is forty feet
long and must have been good to wggle,
sway and curve at least twice that length
of living monster.

Such a fluttering had not occurred for

1t was Thursday morning. The prairies
were lying in the distance behind and the
Rockies doomed up with an almost threat

of the Canadian Pacific.
Jane Hale had turned the whole thing
over In her mind many times and viewed 1t
from every standpoint Her judgment was
never hasty, and at all times fair. Even
whelming element in her decision she cast
1t aside and fguratively placed another wo-
man in her position.
Ultimately she decided that sane wom-
an could arrive at but one decision.
Mamie Dillworth should continue her course
across the continent to Victoria rather
than follow the original plan of being sent
down to Spokane. There had been several
obstacles in the way, but they were speed
lily clearing.
At first the red-haired girl was perplexed
by the proposal. Later she grew Indifferent
as to her small responsibility, placing it on
the agent at Revelstoke. who had been writ

wished.

The Guest and the Waitress.

A dainty stranger waited into
the dining room of a hotel in
Smith Centre the other day and
as the chair was held back for
him, pulled out his handkerchief
and busted the seat carefully.
Pulling up hls trousers, he seat
ed himself, wiped the knife, fork
and spoon with napkin, worried
a few crumbs off the table and
heaved sigh of relief. Without
hesitation the girl who stepped
forward to take his order, deftly
wiped the strangers mouth,
which had been drawn into a
pucker of dissatisfaction at the
imaginary uutidiness abounding,
and planted a kiss thereon that
was plainly heard in all parts of
the room. The dainty stranger
when he recovered ordered meek.
ly, ate hurriedly and left quickly.
