WILL EXPORT WHEAT.
Colorado Durum Wheat Bought for
European Markets.

Fort Collins.-Prof. w. H. Olin, in
structor in plant life at the Agricul-
tural College, after an extensive cor
respondence and much feeling around
among the exporters of Durum wheat
has succeeded in interesting the l. Ro-
senbaum Grain Company of Chicago
to the extent that the company has
sent one of it's buyers, Roy Campbell,
to Fort Collins to look the situation
over and find out how much Durum
wheat can be obtained here. The Ro-
senbaum Grain Company has branch
houses all over the United States and
makes a specially of exporting Durum
wheat.
Between $4,000 and 100000 bushels
of that grain has been raised in this
county this year and the farmers have
been worried to know how to dispose
of it. The Rosenbaum company, how
ever, will take all the Durum wheat
grown in this and other Colorado coun-
ties and will ship it to Mediterranean
ports via Galveston, Texas.
Mr.. Campbell bought 10000 bushels
Of this wheat last Monday, to be deliv-
cred within the next fifteen days, and
will buy all that is offered. He regards
Colorado grown Durum wheat as Of
excellent quality and says his firm can
market all of it that Colorado has to
spare, having handled a large proper
ton of the 100000 bushels exported
from the United States last year.

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agred with her and her husband. She
writes:
"Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of, the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so l could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
zone morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
/ took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
"But l took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used cup of
It since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after / began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said of
coffee.
"a lady visited us who was always
half sick. / told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it. boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality" Name given

BATTLING RAILROADS.
Morgan and Hill Fighting Hartman
for ST. Paul System.

New York-A financial battle, with
S25, 900, 900 in cash and the control of
the Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul rail-
way system, is on between ]. Pierpont
Morgan and E. H. Hartman.
In the battle are involved twice as
many millions of dollars and three
times as many thousands of miles Of
railroad as were represented in tho
famous fight for possession of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, which re-
suited in the memorable Northern-Pa-
cific corner, when the price of that
stock was rushed up to $1,000 a share
and panic in Wall street followed.
The opposing forces consist of ]. P.
Morgan, James ]. Hill and their
friends, foreign capitalists, on one side.
and E. H. Hartman, practical owner
of the Union-Southern Pacific roads,
with Sir William Van Horne, Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy, as controllers of
tho vast Canadian Pacific system,
with their friends, on the other.
Remaining neutral for the time be-
ing, but inclined to throw their weight
to Hartman, are James H. Smith and
William Rockefeller, as principal
stockholders in the St. Paul.
On the outcome of the war depends
whether the st. Paul road is to be ex-
tended to the coast, for which purpose
a S25, 100000 new stock issue was
voted, in a northerly direction, and so
seriously injure the traffic Of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sys-
tens, or southerly, to impair the future
profits of the Union and Southern Pa
cific.- ,e.--.
