NATURAL STRIFE BREEDER.

THE PEACE MEETING,

The peace meeting held in the Tab
ernacle on Sunday, in response to the
call issued by Governor Cutler must be
regarded as a success. The attendance
was large considering the fact that
public interest on Sundays is necessar-
ly divided between numerous gather
ines of religious character. The ad-
dresses made were eloquent and prac-
tical, and the musical exercises were
really inspiring.
Governor cutler has, we understand
FOR some time been Of the opinion that
the time has come for the union of the
friends OF peace and arbitration IN utah
into one efficient organization for the
promotion OF those laudable objects.
That this opinion is justified was evil

vote upon the resolutions proposing the
preliminary steps toward such an or
ganization. The Governor, consequent

OUR WHEAT CROP AND EUROPE
Chlcago RECORD. Herald.


II is natural TO associate abundant
crops with prosperity. and hence there
is nothing surprising In the talk of "a
lean year" that followed in some quar-
tiers the recent report OF the agricul-
tural bureau on winter wheat. News
papers spoke of the "pessimism" that
underlles the dollar wheat" cry, and
advised conservative calculations and
plans with regard TO trade and ac-
tivlty. But the relation between our
crops and our general prosperity is not
so simple. The European situation is
very large factor While the indi-
cations are that the loss as compared
with last years winter wheat harvest
may be considerable. the condition of
the crops abroad Is such that a heavy
demand for our wheat for export, at
good prices. may be expected. The
American farmer will not mind a re-
duced acreage and diminished yield If
he can see oompensating gain
through higher prices.

DOLLAR WHEAT."

There is a good deal being said in
the commercial centers of the country
just now about dollar wheat" 1t Is
just one week ago the price reached
that point, and since then the Chicago
wheat and commission houses have
simply been overwhelmed with orders
from all parts of the country, in the
belief that now is the time to buy. AS
a result enormous profits have been
made. and so far no losses or failures
have been reported.
The extraordinary demand for
wheat at this particular time arises
from the report that the world can
not hope to raise a large enough crop
this year to supnly the demand. In
other words, It is expected that the
consumption will far exceed the pro-
ductlon. Spectators have been very
dillgent in the dissemination of that
thought, which, when 1t was once put
in motion caused a tremendous stir on
two continents. 1t is by no means
certain that the anticipated shortage
will occur, as il is quite generally be-
lieved that the green bug and blight
scare has been overworked. But in
the meantime wheat spectators have
made great fortunes and the farmers
have Jared very well. In Utah the
wheat raisers should be hapnv for the
outlook in most OF the grain raising
counties is for an abundant yield. An
other good rain storm or two viii
make it certainty on all the dry
farms where planting was done in
the proper season. and of course the
irrigated farms will have all the water
they need. and more, this year.

HEAT FROM AIR.

Following the discredlted story from

ashes for fuel, comes report from

Swearingen, whose address is given
as 5lS Second St, northeast, has an
invention COR is IL q discoveryO en-
abling him to utilize the natural heat
Of the atmosphere for practical pur-
poses
According to the report. Mr.. Swear
ingen is absolutely certain of the sue
cess of his contrivance. He asks the
Commissioners for a chance TO dem
onstrate that he has permanently solv-
ed the smoke nuisance problem When
the demonstration is made, his pur-
pose is to file a caveat In the Patent
Office,
"Thermodynamics has been my
