WHEAT EXPORTING TO CEASE,
SAYS !. j. HILL.

Tacoma. Wash, Nov Six years
will bring the end of wheat exporta-
ton from Puget Sound and other Pa
clfic coast ports, according to a pre-
diction made in Tacoma tonight by
James j. Hill, chairman of the board
of directors of the Great Northern
railroad. The noted magnate asserted
that within six years the consumption
of wheat by the United States will be
so great it will equal home produc-
ton.
MIR. Hill, together with Louis w.
Hill. President Howard Elliott and
George Harris, president, respectively.
of the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Burlington systems Francis
B. Clarke. president of the S., P.
and S. line, and 20 other executive
officials of railroad lines operating to
the Pacific coast were guests at the
annual banquet of the chamber of
commerce, the largest affair of its
kind ever held here. Mr.. Hill spoke
nearly two hours, devoting much time
to local railroad conditions and enlarg-
ing on the many and various industrial
and commercial conditions governing
railroad construction and operation.
He presented detailed statistics in
proving his assertion concerning wheat
expectation, which has already given
rise to much comment among local
shipping men.
The Great Northern railroad has
already announced its intention of eX-
tending to Tacoma in the near future,
and Mr.. Hill during his address an
nounced that the Great Northern will
inaugurate through passenger lines
between Tacoma and Chicago next
spring, providing conditions warrant.

needed to determine anything definite
regarding their production. Other
grasses tried were meadow fescue; or
chard grass; tall cat grass.
None of these grasses made a show
worthy of mention. Since the past
season has been exceptionally dry,
they will be given another trial. The
only suggestion the station has to
make to farmers regarding these for
age crops are that alfalfa, bronze
grass, acclimated dent corn, mailo
maize, Jerusalem corn, and Kaffir corn
are worthy of trial in small way.
The farmer had better learn how to
to handle them. however, before try
ing them on large scale.

HORSES PLUNGE INTO WELL.

Palouse, Wash. Nov. 9.-Andrew
Olson, a farmer who lives in the Idaho
timber, near Deary. 80 miles east of
Palouse, had most unusual experience
a few days ago. according to reports
Just received. Mr.. Olson was plow-
ing in field where a IL foot well was
located and in endeavoring to put some
finishing touches on spot near the
open we'll his four horses became en-
tangled in the harness and plunged
headlong into the we'll. They were
harnessed together and wedged SO
tightly that they were helpless.
Securing help Mr.. Olson dug away
a large area and the horses were
dragged from their cramped quarters
one at a time. Strange to say, not
one of the horses was injured. This
is to be accounted for partly by the
fact that they could not struggle. In
rescuing the horses Mr.. Olson was
struck on the left shoulder and chest
painfully bruised.

PROVISION OF STATE CONSTI-
TUITION.

The state constitution provides that
the governor shall hold his office for
a term Of four years, and until his
successor is elected and qualified. "
The constitution further provides
that "In case of the removal. resig-
nation, death or disability of the
governor, the duties of that office shall
devolve upon the lieutenant governor. !"
1t has been pointed out. however.
that Mr.. Cosgrove can not be governor
until the expiration of Governor
Mead's term next January, and it is
contended that if he should die prior
to that time the constitutional provi-
sion, which applies to the governor
and not to the governor elect, should
not be construedas comforting the office
on the lieutnant governor elect.

ANOTHER
MYSTERY
Chicago to the Front
With Usual Grew.
some Discovery

CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-A mystery con.
fronts the Chicago police as the result
of finding the severed limbs of a nude
woman in lake. In part of the south
branch of the Chicago river near the
stock yards yesterday. Experts who
examined the grewsome evidence of
murder pronounce the body that of a
blonde woman not more than IS years
old, who had been dead four days.
That crime has been committed
and the body hacked up in order to
destroy all evidence Ia indicated by
the manner in which the limbs were
cut from the torso and the feet severed
at the ankles in order TO make iden.
tification almost impossible The sug.
gestion that portions OF the body might
have come from canaver used in
some medical college has beo.l render.
untenab1e by the manner In which the
amputation was done The instru-
ments used were evidently a hatchet
and saw. Dragging the lake for other
parts of the body was started by the
police today in the hope OF finding
the head and trunk OF the body. Il is
thought that with the head identifl-
cation of the woman can be made.

Washington Post.
1t is hopeful sign for our national
politics when the two dominant po-
litical parties obey the public voice.
The secret campaign contribution has
been smear upon our national con.
science and the secret agent OF evil In
fluences In our national elections. 1t
has been shame to the republicanism
o. our government. mock upon the
democracy Of our political ideals. 1t
has fostered corruption, strangled In
dependence, tainted action In the coun-
ellis OF our great parties. Public opin-
ion has at last demanded Its absoli.
tion, and both those parties have will
ingly obeyed. That Is the hopeful
sign-that those whose power allowed
them. and whose self.interest might
have prompted them. to accept what
money and make what promises ia
secret they pleased have even indorsed
the public demand. 1t proves that
parties know themselves as no longer
superior to the people; they are only
the agents through which the people
express their will.
