head Offices in Portland, went far
recently in curroborating the
statement Of J. J. Hill that under
existing conditions in five years
there will be little wheat to ex-
port from Washington and Ore
gon. Il do not agree with Mr..
Hill In all Of his ideas" said Mr..
Miller, Il have given the grain
growing question Of the North
west as much attention as any
man, suppose. Throughout the
country served by our line there
are 1000, 600 acres OF wheat land,
|, 900, 900 Of which Is summer
fallowed every year, cutting
down the wheat raising area so
per cent. All the land in the In
land Empire now served by the
railroads is under cultivation.
At the present rate Of increase
in the population there win be
1000. 600 people additional in Or
egon and Washington in 10 years.
Estimating their consumption Of
wheat at six bushels each, it will
require IL, 600, 900 bushels more
a year than is now raised. TAX
| ing into consideration the increas-
ed population and the increased
production which will result from
opening Of new land, ! think
there will still be a large expor.
tation Of wheat. But the meth
ods must be changed. 1t is in
an effort to show the farmers
the force Of this that we are run
ming demonstration trains, are
establishing experiment stations
as is now proposed. If something
is not done these two states will
shortly fii,d themselves in the
same condition as California,
which was once a great wheat
raising state. but now is largely
dependent on Oregon and Wash
ington for its grain. We are
trying to get the farmers to alter
nate their crops instead of sum-
mer following. This will not
only keep all the land under cul-
tivation continuously, but will put
back into the soil, if proper crops
are used, the elements taken out
by the wheat.
''The Red River valley of Mimi
esota and Dakota was a few
years ago the greatest
wheat-raising district in the
world. Today the Red
River valley is raising Is bushels
to the acre against three times
that amount formerly. In Eng
land and Greece and other Euro
pean countries wheat has been
raised for hundreds of years, and
yet their yield is thirty-five BUSH
els an acre and upwards. due to
intelligent rotation of crops.
The Palouse land is deteriorating
as the Red River valley and Cal
ifornia wheat belts did, on ac-
count of lack of foresight.
IF we can induce rotation of
crops the land will at once i'm
prove, and will yield a contin-
uous income. With rotation it
can not be farmed in such large
tracts and an increase in popu-
lation is bound to take place.
Now, all this leads up to the
question, Will there be any ex-
portation of wheat in six years
from now?' l think there will be
for the people are beginning to
learn the value of improved meth
ods Of agriculture which will lead
to increased production. !"

Special to The Herald
REDLANDS, May 31.-The promoters
of the Redlands & Yucaipe railroad, on
which construction was begun yester-
day, are considering the feasibility OF
extending a branch of their line across
the valley to the Highland section,
which has long desired to have trolley
connections with this city.
Highland has trolley connection with
the county seat, San Bernardino, by the
line of the San Bernardino Valley Trac-
tion company, and it is probable that
before this company would let rival
get into the Highland field 1t would eX-
tend the line from San Bernardino east
to East Highland and then across the
valley to this city, thus making COM
plete loop in this end of the valley.
y The situation has been put up to I'll
e. Huntington, who controls the San
Bernardino Valley Traction company
and 1t is believed that he will order the
construction of the extension rather
than permit the Yucaipe line to out
wit him and get possession of the ter
ritory in this end of the valley.
The first shovelful of earth on the
Yucaipe line was turned in Church
street by Vice President c. S. Chestnut
one of the principal promoters of tht
line. 1t is expected that construction
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.

LONG BEACH, May 31.-By sud
denly cutting the fare for trips 10 tne
United States steamship Pennsylvania,
now in Long Beach bay, to only ten
cents the Nelson Navigation company
started something today. The own
ers of the sixteen independent Launches
had scarcely recovered from their sur
prise of a week ago when the Nelson
company inaugurated the 25-cent rate,
a 50-cent rate having prevailed at all
former times for trips to whatever bat
tleships or cruisers were anchored OH
the pier.
When the dime rate card was turned
this morning chaos reigned along the
outer wharf. The agents of the inde-
pendent launches have the ticket
booths which are passed first by peo-
pie going out upon the wharf, and they
yelled their wares" more Justify than
ever People mingling in the crowd
spread the word, however, than 1O-cent
tickets were obtainable further along
the line. and the Nelson boats, the
Nellie Fashion and Elliott, carried the
most people all day.
Later on the rate was cut to nve
cents, and there wore instances In
which visitors were carried gratis.
The city council has under considera-
tion now an ordinance providing for
agents paid by the city who shall sell
tickets good on any boats, and today's
excitement will probably hasten the
adoption of some such rule.
\ The 25-cent-rate agents appealed to
the police today but were told that the
Nelson agents could not be stopped
selling tickets at a lower price. The
cruiser Pennsylvania lies only short
distance off the wharf.

He cannot tell even a harmless fish lie
because he is a Sunshiner and had
gone to Houston to attend the Sunshine
convention, over which his daughter,
Miss Cynthia Westover Alden, presided.
Going south he noticed how many
fish rose to the surface of the Salton
Sea, to catch crumbs Of bread thrown
from the windows of the dining car. On
his return he was prepared. He rugged
a line TO the end of his cane and made
a cast from the rear end of the train,
and although it was moving rapidly his
trawl was taken by large fish just at
sunrise. He landed it with difficulty
and without difficulty had 1t cooked
and served for breakfast. The chef
verifies the story but that is needless;

POMONA, May S1.-Too many oil

astrous fire in Pomona today. The fire
started in the kitchen of the home of

Mrs Miller was in the act of filling

thus ignited. 1t all happened so sud
denly that it is hard to explain, but in
an instant the entire room was afire.

partment responded. but the house was
beyond saving.

A little fleet of small craft tore away

sounded, summoning the volunteer life

emptying the cafes, and about all the

danger that some persons would be

VENICE, May 31.--There is no place
that is more desirous of getting the
automobile trade of visitors than Is
Venice, but President Eakins OF the
Ocean Park board of trustees tells the
correspondent of The Herald that the
officials cannot stand for any more or
such fragrant cases of disregard for life,
limb and speed ordinances as have oc-
Cured in the last two or three weeks,
when parties from Los Angeles have
acted as though they had mortgage
on Abbot Kinney's preserve ana were
determined to run it down. 1t Is true
that no complaint has been lodged
against Tom Mack of Los Angeles, who
rode down a store front on Windward
avenue, but Mack made restitution TO
the persons whose property was In
jured.
President Eakins favors putting all
violators of speed orinances under
heavy bonds so as to insure their return
to the recorders court for trial. When
bail is given in $40 the auto man never
comes back.
At the meeting of the city trustees
Monday evening an effort will be made
to get through an order to provide the
police department with motorcycle TO
be used in the pursuit of high speeders.
The speedway is the common avenue or
escape, and many a machine now gets
over the line into Santa Monica before
the police can say Jack Robinson.
Some of the Ocean Park officials
would like the Santa Monica and Ocean
Park police to cooperate. When a
speeder passes beyond the boundary
of one town a telephone message to
the officers of the other town might
serve to have his fight arrested,
1t is desired that all Los Angeles and
other neighboring automebilists shall
know that Venice invites them and
wants them, but ii expects them to
have some respect for local law while
they are here. A campaign against law
breakers is now on.

with Messrs. Newton.
The party had been prospecting west
of the old Capitol mine for some time
and few days ago picked up piece
of galena that looked good and at once
commenced to hunt for the hidden
ledge. In short time they found more
of the float and soon had discovered it's
source.
After working a short time at trench
ing and crosscutting the quartet dis
