Wheat Growing.

BIrmInRh0m Ledger.
 There is an idea that wheat will only grow In States where there Is snow and cold That is a mistake, altogether. For centuries Egypt was the granary of the world, and its wheat was sent to distant lands. Yet there never was frost in Egypt. The wheat will grow and produce fairly well in our counties. It will not do as a money crop, but as food crop 1t is very prof Itable. There should be a field devo- ted to it on every farm. and forty or sixty bushels would help the farmers in many ways

The Mobile and Ohio Railroad will build a line into Birmingham in the next twelve months. This statement is made by gentleman who recently had a conversation with one of the high of- ficials of the railroad mentioned. and he states that every assurance was given that when the road did get into Bir- mingham. 1t was intended to show az gressiveness and enterprise, and that none of the railroads already In the dis trict could do more looking to the up- building of the city and district than the Mobile and Ohio.
 The M and O. now has a line almost to the edge of the Birmingham district The branch between Montgomery and Columbus Miss, touches in Blob Coun- ty, Tuscaloosa County, and gets down to some of the coal mines in both these counties It is figured that less than seventy miles of road would have to be constructed to get into Birmingham and the immediate district. A prelim- mary survey will be made shortly and steps taken looking to the actual con struction of the line.

a member of the ship Brenda's crew
had q narrow escape from the NAV
of the sea yesterday and will in flu
ture be careful when he goes a-sailing.
It happened in the forenoon that a
Brenda man took a small boat and
went for a sail outside.
There was a stiff blow on and he got
carried out to sea. He attempted to
scull home with one oar. being unable
to beat up TO windward unassisted but
soon became tired out.
In the afternoon J. a. Young of
Young Brothers saw him waving his
shirt off Kalihi and judging that he
was in distress put off in the launch
Brothers to the rescue, picking the
drifting craft up and towing it back
to he harbor.
The man when picked up had thrown
all his ballast overheard in order to
tighten the boat and make sculling
easier.
He was quite played out when res
cued and on being given a drink of
water stated that water never before
tasted SO good to him in all his life as
that glass did.

WILLARD ALMOST BEAcHED.

PORTLAND (Ore), October 1S.-
While off the mouth of the river last
week waiting for a tugboat to come out
and take her to Astoria, the American
ship Henry Willard. which reached the
harbor yesterday afternoon. came near
drifting shore and being wrecked. \
strong breeze which had been stirring
suddenly died down to a calm and the
swells of the sea carried the ship to-
ward the beach.
She was being borne along at a rapid
rate. Captain Shaube ordered the an
chors placed in readiness for dropping
as soon as the vessel reached shoal
water where they would hold. But be-
fore matters came to climax the wind
Iagafn began to blow and the sails. tack
ed so that the craft was carried out TO
sea and away from all danger.
The Henry Willard came from Homo
lulu in ballast and made an excellent
run. covering the distance in 16 days.
She was obliged to wait off the mouth
of the river three days, however, for a
tugboat to escort her across the bar.
AS the Columbia river Iightship had
been blown in on the beach and was
not at her station. the skipper says it
was difficult to keep his bearings. He
did not learn of the accident to the
llghtship until he arrived al Astoria.

CAPTAIN CASEY BI.AMELEss

Captain Casey, who was in command
of the steamer Stanley Dollar when
that vessel went ashore on the Japa-
nese coast on September last, has
arrived in the city overland from Pu-
get Sound. His engineers and mates
arrived on the steamer Queen yester-
day from the Sound. According 10 the
finding of the naval court Investigate
ing the stranding of the Stanley Dol
lar, it was found that she struck an
isolated and sunken rock two and one
half miles east-southeaSt from Hachi-
man, and, having been seriously dam
LACED was f1oated as soon as possible
and taken to Kawadzu village, where
she was finally abandoned by the crew
on September IS. The evidence at the
court of inquiry did not fix the position
of the rock with absolute precision, but
it is clearly not marked on the recent
japanese charts, and the United States
charts corrected to June 2, 1898, do not
indicate danger in that neighborhoOd.
Other charts give no sign of this isolat-
ed rock. It appears from the evidence
that Captain Casey was entirely fault
less in striking this uncharted rock
