last year ran to $685.
043 bushels for both
markets, shows discrep-
ancy, and suggests
that, as has often been
commented upon in the
trade, the government
reports of northwestern
flax yields have been too
low. Allowance must be
made for duplication, as
for instance the ship
ment of a car to Mime
apolis and from here to
Duluth, which would
make it appear in re-
ceipts at both markets;
but, after figuring this
out, there still remains a
total indicating that the
government has not
overestimated the pro-
duction, and that the
northwest, in the. past
few years, has probably
raised some millions of
bushels more flax than
the government reports
show.

BARLEY

No important crop in the United States has shifted
it's center of production far barley In 1850 it's
center lay in New York state. Today it is the line
between Iowa and South Dakota and is about
stationary moving only slightly north and west from
year to year. California produces % per cent Of the
barley of the country, and Minnesota Iowa. Wiscon-
sin, the Dakoas and California, together produce 1871
per cent of it. The shifting the center to the west
and northwest could be shown if other statistical evil

lis which 1898 received only bushels,

Hay is a crop that from it's nature comes upon the
open market in quantity very small relative to total
production. Much Of it necessarily leaves the
farm Its value appears in too numerous to fol
low. Like it creates wealth in form other than
it's own.
The crop is not often figured upon as important in
wealth production, yet in Minnesota it is big this
year that it stands the farmers money equivalent of
$10,784812 The Dakotas do not raise much hay is
natural. With the growth of diversified farming, and
the cutting up of the larger holdings of land
smaller FARMS hay raising will increase. The bulk Of

FEBRUARY DIVIDENDS FROM THE METALS.

February was good dividend pay ing month in America, 43 mining and metallurgical companies reporting a total of s12,292,725. This is nearly double the amount declared in Janu, ary, partly the result of sG,304,919 jis. tributed as a quarterly dividend of 1.75 per cent among the shareholders of the United Steel Corporation (pre- ferred), and s1,530,,S19, the l per cent quarterly payment by the Amalga- mated Copper Company. The distri- button of dividends during the month was as follows: Copper, four compa- nies, S2,572 ,104; gold. silver and lead, 14 companies, s679, ,733; zinc, two com. panies, s3O1,5O iron and steel, three companies, $6,9S4,S79; coal and coke, five, sS32,311; oil, 13 companies, sS24,. AS; miscellaneous, two, S97,750.
 Continued strength in the metal markets, active development on eco nomical principles of promising low grade mines, concentrated manage ment of metallurgical plants to effect a saving in the cost of operation, and a temporary cessation of labor trou- bles, combine to create hope of larger dividends in future.

flinching champion of revision formed the principal assumption of the vast majority in electing him. That he permitted it to be subordinated by the party powers gave severe disap- pointnent and affront to most of the men who cast Roosevelt votes, and put charge of grave breach of faith into his public record, which only his subsequent sincere championship of the question can cure or explain away.
 Democrats the country over will cordially approve the Roosevelt de- mands as to tariff and trust regula- ton, for the reason that these de- mands are fundamentally right and, in as far as they go, essentially Demo cratic.

DEPTH AT CRIPPLE CREEK AND COMMENT THEREON.

The preliminary report covering the recent re-examination of the Cripple Creek district has provoked vigorous adverse criticism at the hands of the Denver press, mainly because Messrs. Waldemar Lindgren and F. L. Ran. some suggest that the ore-shoots are smaller and less abundant with in- crease of depth. It is only just to the officers of the Geological Survey to draw attention to the following state- ment by Mir. Victor c. Hills, consulting engineer, in the eleventh annual re- port of the Portland mine. Writing of the eleventh level, he says: Much interest is naturally felt in the snew- ing of ore found with increasing depth. In my judgment-and I be- lieve this is the general opinion of mining engineers-with increasing depth in the Cripple Creek district the ore bodies will be smaller and less numerous. But the deepest deveiop- ment of the Portland still shows ore of much value, and have taken sam- pies of what has developed to date"
 This frank statement, by an engin- ger who knows the Cripple Creek dis trict as thoroughly as anyone, should warn the public against too easy an aequiescence with the indignant atti- tude of local papers which are prone to braIWevery truthful observer as 'knocker." Such indignation is often the mere froth which endeavors to obscure the growing realization of an unpleasant fact. Cripple Creek needs no falsehoods, no half-truths, to win the interest of mining spectators; the depth already attained, when taken with the large area proved to be pro- ductive, is sufficient for the energies of resourceful operators for many years to come. To bury ones beak in the sand and refuse to recognize actual conditions underground is not good business. Legitimate mining is based upon the recognition of facts; irresponsible scheming is hampered by them.

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND DEMOCRATS.

Should the President carry out the proposed plan of a speechmaking campaign through the country in be- half of the important issues opposed by Congress, he would probably force the desired action. It is announced, though not yet officially or authorita- lively, that during the summer he will lay his favorite projects before the people through extensive speechmak- ing tours in many of the states: and that he hopes by these means to arouse an expression of popular will which Congress must heed at the Oc- tober special session which he pro poses to convene. Much new blood will be in Congress-; that of the men elected on the Roosevelt wave. The new sentiment now created and exist ing in favor of the Presidents de- mands as against the stand-pat legisla- tive powers will have been in any event much strengthened.
 Whether MT. Roosevelt makes the tour or not, he may reasonably count upon a steady growth of the popular demand for legislation along the lines of rate supervision and control of the trusts. But the tour would undoubt. edly accelerate and emphasize it, would revive and invigorate public in sistence for tariff revision and place that again among the immediate is- sues; whereas by his abandonment it has been temporarily relegated to ab- stract consideration. The tour would clincFhis influence with the new men in Congress, predetermining their character as Roosevelt men and their attitude upon his measures.
 MT. Roosevelt's tour might be of immense significance in amending the great mistake of his career-his aban donment of the revision issue. By touring the country in favor of tariff revision he could in a great measure redeem himself in the eyes of the peo pie for a glaring inconsistency which has seemed to many to be nothing less than statesmanly or political treason This issue should be made the burden of his tour. the principal topic of his advocacy. That issue was the lead ing, moving cause in his campaign That he was the inexorable and un
