.Iore and More wheat Used a Homo.

More and More Wheat Used at Home.
The continued decline in the ex.
p~ortation of breadstuffs lends Interest
to a statement just prepared by the
bureau Of statistics of the department
of IN and labor which shows
a steNdy increase In the share of the
wheat crop of the United States con.
sumed at home and thus IL decline iii
the quantity sent abroad. The ex-
p%ortations Of wheat during the nine
months ending with September. 1909.
amounted to only 27.76S.9Ol bushels
against g. .935 bushels In the same
months Of 1908. and Of -four 6.2sY.2s3
barrels a~gainst 9.42s.3347 in the same
months Of last year. suggesting that
the calendar year 1909 will show a
smaller expectation of wheat than any
year III the last decade with the ex.
ceptions of 1904 and 1905.
This falling off liz the exports of
wheat in the face of an increased pro-
duction indicates. of course. an in
creased home consumption. The bu-
reau's figures Of consumption in the
United States show the average an
nual consumption for the five years
ending with 1854 as 3O2. 100000 BUSH
els; for the five year period ending
with 1889. . .OOO,OOO: ending with
1894. 1924. 100000: ending with 1899,
341.OOO,OOO; ending with 1904. g ,OOO.-
600, and for the five years ending with
1909. 543. OOO. 900 bushels. The annual
per capita consumption averaged 5.74
bushels in the five years ending with
1884, SIS bushels in the five years end.
ing with 1889. 4.9S bushels in the five
years ending with 1894. 4.76 bushels
In the five years ending with 1899.
5.46 bushels In the five years ending
with 1904 and 6.34 bushels in the five
year period ending with 1909. These
figures indicate not only a larger con
sumption as a result of increased pop
ulation, but also a larger consumption
per capita. The share of the domestic
product exported. which averaged
about 33fper cent in the five year pc
RODS ending with 1884. 1894 and 1899.
fell to 3O.7 per CEN in the five year
period ending with 1904 and 1925 per
cent Of the total in the FIVE year Pc
riod ending with 1909.

Assessor Works Clever Scheme.

BAYONNE, N. j., Sept. 8.-The peo-
pie of Bayonne are beginning to take
notice of city officer who, in a mod
est way, has added $50, ZOO, 900 to the
tax valuation of the Stand ard Oil
works at Constable Rock. The name
of the bold man who has dared the
wrath of the great corporation is Hen.
ry Hinse, tax assessor of Bayonne.
Col. Charles W. Fuller, counsel for
the Standard Oil company, met the
assessor on the street and remonstr at.
ed with him for doing such an unprec-
edented thing as to advance the valu.
alton from 81, 1850, 900 to s13, ,O73,O7s.
Don't shoot so soon," responded
Hinse, calmly, ~ am not through yet,
and the first thing you know you nj ay
have another million or two on top
of the Others. "
In the disguise of day laborer
Hinse obtained employment in the
Standards Bayonne plant and then
made thorough examination of the
place, securing data which caused him
to raise the assessment. Hinse is q
retired real estate man reputed to be
possessed of comfortable income
and desire to serve his city.

Higher Grazing Fees.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The Grow
Indians will receive $155, $50 next year
for the grazing privileges on their
lands in Montana instead of $40, 500
obtained for the same purpose this

the idea of having grazing bids
opened and contracts let in this city
instead of on the Indian reservation
and the Grow reserva alton was the first
in which the innovation took effect.
Brewster Brown and the St. John

Range Feud Ends In Murder.

MILES CITY, Sept. 9.-As near as
can be determined here, George Mitch.
ell, cattle and horse owner whose
ranch is at Selway postodice on Big
Pumpkin creek, has been killed in
some sort Of range difficulty with other
ranchmen. That the man was killed
in that country, about 80 miles south
of Miles City, is certain, but some
confusion has been caused by the diff.
ference in names conveyed in several
kilograms, received here in connection
with the matter.
A person who arrived in Miles City
the first of the week said tonight he
expected there would be killing be.
fore the week was over, as Mitchell
had sent word to Ray Tarbell and
another ranchman on Powder river,
about 40 miles away, that if they went
on HE range there wonld be trouble.
It is believed they went and went pre-
pared.
There has been bad blood in that
country ever since the killing of 2,1OO
head of r. r. Selway's sheep about
ten years ago. Mitchell was suspected
of being one of the parties who slaugh.
tered the sheep, but no one was ever
detected.

To Retain State Lands.

HELENA, Sept. S.-With a million
acres of public school lands at stake,
the state land board has determined
to get ruling from the interior de.
partment on the right of the govern.
ment. through the forest service, to
take possession of every section mum.
bered 16 and 36 now included in forest
reserves. The question arose in con.
nection with school section near
Belton, which the state sold to the
Great Northern Railway company
The land was advertised to be sold at
public auction and the forest super
visor posted notice warning bidders
not to purchase, on the ground that
the federal government did not rec.
ognize the claim of the state to the
land.
To make the claim of the forest SER
vice stick, the forestry man inclosed
the land with fence. Later, the
railway company was given q lease OF
the land by the forest Department.
and the state land board then directed
Attorney General Galen to take the
subject up with the secretary of the
interior, it having been found lat
about million acres of land are in
volved.
The question today was taken up
with the secretary of the interior, r.
A. BalIinger, by Attorney General
Galen, acting in behalf of the land
board, with the view of reaching an
amicable settlement If possible. 9th.
erwise the question will be taken to the

Object To Higher State Taxes.

DILLON, Sept. 9.-In all probab ability
a large part of the taxes in this sec.
tion this year will be paid under pro-
test, owing to the understanding many
of the taxpayers have of the state law
and constitution.
Chapter SS, sections l and 2, pro-
vides for an advalorem tax on all
property of q mills on the!dollar.
Sections and 4, of the same chapter
provide that tax of t million the
dollar on all taxable property shall
be made for the purpose of paying the
interest on and to constitute q fund
for the redemption of bonds issued by
the state pursuant to the tprovisions
of chapter So, laws of 1907.
Article XII, paragraph 9, of the con.
stitution of the state of Montana pro.
vides that when the taxable property
Of the state shall amount to $l0O, ,OOO,.
600, the rate at taxation shall not ex.
ceed 2! mills. The way many of the
taxpayers of this section see it ia that
the rate of taxation as levied by the
last legislature, amounts to q mills,
hence many of them.lar talking of
paying their taxes under protest, un.
less they are shown conclusively, be.
fore paying their taxes, THAT chapter
SO as passed by the last legislature is

Death Of Railroad Magnate Brings
Many Words Of Admiration.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-From all parts
of the country there came tributes
upon MIR. Hsrriman's career and life
work-from railroad presidents, bank.
ers and men prominent in ell " walkslof
business and financial life. Az to the
probable effect Of his death on the
financial world, there was q variety
of opinion, but comment was rather
generally guarded.
One of the finest tributes came from
James j. Hill, another giant among
the railroad builders and one time his
business adversary.
II have always regarded Mr.. Har.
riman very highly" he said" I have
done good deal of business with him
in the last few years and some of it,
a. you know, has been of q rather
strenuous char acter. So l think l
ought to know him pretty we'll. He
did the work Of several men during
his lifetime. He was one who never
left anything undone and there are
few men in this country whose place 1t
will be harder to fill. 1t is greatly to
be regretted that Mr.. Hartman could
not have lived to complete all the work
he had set out to do.
"There should not be any serious
financial disturbance as the result OF
his death. All his properties are in
good shape. He was not one who
would leave his affairs so situated tn at
the wolves could prey upon them. The
great railroad system he created will
run along as usual and somehow his
place will be filed, for all of US die
and yet the world wags on"
