WHEAT is BOUND TO GO UP
Price in England and France Is Still
Risinq.


Rising.
Paris, Oct 16.-The Action of the
London Flour Millers' association in
raising the price of -four six pence
az cents) sack will be followed by
similar action on the part Of the asso-
citation of French milling interests,
which are about to meet to consider
the situation, resulting from the fact
that wheat has now reached an ad-
vance never before realized since Joe
Letters corner in 1898.
M. Carnu, secretary Of the general
association, as well as a director in
the most important periodical devoted
to the same interests, told CORE
spondent recently that this week
would see a rise in price in France at
least equal to the English rise, which
naturally would cause a higher price
for the actual loaf. The higher price
will cone to stay, declared the man.

because it is not due primarily to spec
ulation.
The fact is that the population of
the world is getting beyond the supply
Of wheat. and this. as it was predict
ed by the German professor, Pohle,
some years ago, is thing that must
happen. AS one of the Paris papers
puts it this morning, the total wheat
bearing territory under cultivation at
present is sufficient to feed about $780,
100000 persons, while the population
of the world is less than 100 1000, 200

Brought Results.

The results of the experiments OF
the State college at Pullman, in We
natchee valley, are now at hand, after
years waiting, and they are very sue
cessful. Professors Melander and
Trumble have been conducting the ex-
periments, and they have been in the
orchards of men who operate fruit
farms in the Wenatchee valley.
In the orchard of z. A. Lanham.
where there were 5000 boxes of apples
that were wormy last year, this year
there were only six boxes found. On
examining the apples raised in the
Lanham orchard the two Pullman men
found only 10 boxes of apples out of
II 900 that had been even attacked by
worms.

sIxTY.oNE LETTERS ON PINHEAD
D. c., Engraver Beats
All Records.

When one of the experts of the b,l-
reau of engraving and printing sue
ceeded in engraving the text of the
Lords prayer on one side of gold
dollar it was supposed that the acme
of delicate work of that kind had been
achieved. 1t was regarded as marvel
GUS that man, with a set of engrav-
er's tools, could perform so remarkable
a feat as the tracing of the Lords
prayer involved, and that piece of
work has remained unapproached.
1t remained for Clarence X. Young
of the bureau Of engraving and print
ing far to surpass the performance of
his predecessor.
He took small-sized pin and in a
single halliday engraved 81 letters ON
the head.
The letters are not discernible to
the naked eye. In fact, the ordinary
observer would not know that the
head of the pin had any engraving on
it. Only with magnifying glass can
the letters be made out. 1t is regarded
as likely that Young's feat will stand
unapproached for many years, even II
1t ever should be eQualed.

GOLD IN RHoDEsIA


Interesting Data Given by the Unit
ed States Consul.
Consul John H. Snodgrass of Pre-
toria furnishes the following report on
the mining and Industrial development
Of the British-African colony Of Rho
desia:
1.-THE expansion of the gold industry
In RhOdesia to the annual production
Of $1O,OOO,OOO Of the metal has been ac-
complished by the small investor and
individual effort rather than by means
Of capital. Small reefs have been dis
covered in this territory, and many are
confidently predicting that Rhodesia In
few years may perhaps excel the
Transvaal in the production of the
precious metals Small operators with
little capital by their own efforts have
Of late been extracting nearly one
third Of the total amount Of gold
found, and their earnings have been
spent mostly in the colony, as a con-
sequence of which there has been a re-
vival of trade. While such crops as
tobacco, cotton and wool have been try
Ing to find their way into the distant
markets, local demands for grain,
fruits and fresh meats are being met
more and mofe by the Rhodesian agri-
culturists themselves.
"Rhodesla's output Of other minerals
than gold has increased and several
new Industries have come into life dur
ing the year. Pioneer settlers along
that what could be done In South
| Africa could also be done farther
north, and some remarkable crops have
been grown. The Kafue river, the
bridging Of which was an engineering
feat second only to that accomplished
at the Victoria falls, afterward proved
to be a useful waterway, for 1t extends
100 miles, and several steam and sail
ing craft have already been put on it
The close of 1906 saw that launching
Of a great scheme for the supply OF
electricity for the Rand, and Rhodesls
Is interested in this from the fact thai
1t is the intention to derive vast
amount of that power from the Vic
toria falls.
I'm the return Of generally Rho
desian prosperity it is only natura
that the railways should play an i'm
portant part, though they have suf
fered badly as other lines of indus
try on account Of the long-drawn-ou
depression that overcast all Soutl
Africa. The repo-. Of the Rhedesia1
railways for the year 1905 shows tina
the gross earnings for the first clever
months totaled $2,393,50O, which II
equal to $2,661,OOO per annum, al
against $2,316,5OO in 1906; the ne
revenue was S9SS5OO, as compared
with $534,0 in 1865. This represent
an annual gain Of 1924 per cent In ne
income. An approximate estimate o
the traffic during the year puts tn
gross earnings at $2,711, 900 and tn
net revenue at $1,014 800"
