Late Reports Show Little Decrease
in Acreage--.Crop Generally is
in Fairly Good Condition


satisfaction was felt in the grain
trade after the appearance of the
government report covering the
acreage and condition of the
wheat crop June /. There is de-
crease noted in the area seeded
to spring wheat of Z per cent, or
l,240,000 acres, and as iMnne-
sofa has 80 per cent of the nor
NAL acreage, North Dakota 90
per cent and South Dakota also
80, and as the condition of the
crop on June 1 was 1877 COM
pared with a condition of 93.4
on June 1 year ago, there
would seem at first glance to be
nothing favorable in the sum-
mary. But a majority in the
trade expected a much greater
decrease. Estimates of a loss of
wheat ground of 20 to 25 per
cent had been heard and the
most conservative estimates had
been for a 10 per cent decrease.
It would also seem that, COM
paratively favorable as are the
government figures, they are
probably too low. Considerable
land was sown to wheat right up
to June 1, and as the government
makes up it's report from data
of June /, which in some cases
means information gathered
from five to seven days prior to
that date, it is quite probable
more land was sown than ap-
pears. Another consideration
is the increased acreage in the
further west on land some dis
lance from the railroads, large
enough to offset decreases in the
east, perhaps to a greater extent
than the government has allow
ed.
AS to the conditions of the
spring wheat, AZ less than last
year. il is probably right. No
doubt the plant showed a less fa-
vorable stand and 5-point diff
. ference would have surprised
j none. But the report was made
up to as June l and there can be
little doubt that if it were p6ss1s

On the whole it is a much

900 paid in cash and $1.5OO.OO0 in the form of solvent subscriptions shall be available for the purpose of car rying out the contract and of which the remaining $2,0OO,OOO may be devot- ed to the purpose of procuring bond, as required by the contract.
 McArthur & Gillespie informed the secretary of war that if new bids were called for they would merely renew their bid at 12ia per cent, as consulta- ton had led them to decide that they could not profitably undertake the work for less.
 The information gathered by Secre- tary Taft left the administration the alternative of accepting Mir. Oliver's offer to construct the canal for 6.T5 per cent. even though it does not come from an association of contractors. or of rejecting it, with the practical cer- tainty that it will have to accept the contract of McArthur & Gillespie at figure not less than 12la per cent.
 President Roosevelt took the position that since MT. Oliver had met all the requirements of the government it would be unjust to reject his bid of 6.75 per cent for the construction of the canal or even to require him to submit new bid for the contract.
 Powerful influences. it is said, were brought to bear on the president and Secretary Taft to reject all bids and advertise for new proposals.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Following . conference at the White House, it is officially announced that the contract for building the Panama canal has been awarded to William J. Oliver, who, with Anson NJ. Bangs, was the lowest bidder in the recent competi- ton, provided that within the next ten days he associates himself with at least two independent contractors whose skill and experience, combined with his own. shall cover the entire field of the work to be performed un- der the contract.
 In the course of the negotiations Will liam J. Oliver had informed Secretary Taft that he would not bid again on the contract should new bids be called for. He said that Mir. Stevens, whom Governor Hughes has appointed con- missioner of public works for New York, would back him financially and presented letter from MT. Stevens in support of the statement. This may be why the government decided to ac- cept the bid of Oliver with Bangs withdrawn from the partnership.
 MT. Oliver, whose home is in Knox vile, Tenn, has been notified that within ten days he will be required to organize a corporation for the ex- press purpose of carrying out the pro- posed contract. with capital of $5,- OOO,OO0, of which not less than $1,5OO,-

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great n change
Few years OF married life often make I'm
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm. the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from n
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only q dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form OF its
.airness.
