GRINDING
LOCAL WHEAT
TRADE NOT UP TO
MILLS USED IN LOCAL TRADE.

Both of the local mills are running
night and day, grinding up the local
wheat. While the oriental trade is
not as good as it was expected that
it would prove, yet there is a great
deal of the -four made here that is
sent out of the country. The most
OF the flour is used by the home
trade in the state. The wheat is ex-
ceptionally good this year. 1t is hard
and there is but little smut.
Six years will bring the end of
wheat expectation from Puget Sound
and other Pacific coast ports, accord
ing to a prediction made at Tacoma
Monday night by James J. Hill,
chairman of the Great Northern
railway. The noted magnate assert
ed that within six years the con-
of wheat by the United
States will be SO great 1t will not
more than equal if it will equal home
consumption.

equal chance.

down q decision to the effect that the

qusshed q writ of habeas corpus COM
Polling Robert B Lamb, superintendent
Of the Mattfawan Asylum, to turn Thaw

The New York stats authorities have
intimsted their belief that the effect OF
the writ of hsbeas corpus would have
been to take Tbaw out OF the jurisdic.

him much better chance to have his
sanity passed upon by a new jury aud
his ultimate Liberation secured. 1t has
not been decided as yet whether or not
