American officers believe Greytown
may be the scene of activity shortly.
The Estrada and government forces
are supposed to be marching toward
each other with the probability of q
collision taking place at Acoyapo. It
is possible Estrada may make detour
to Greytown with view to capturing
that city before proceeding westward.
The government force at Greytown is
not thought to be of sufficient strength
to make any decided stand against the
revolutionists there.

FWoRlD ANlAroAo READY ron,
INTERNATIONAL MEETING aS
OPENING.
MANY | i MACHINES 1 !! J; ENTERED!
Louis Paulhan Brings Two Farman
and Two eleriot ei-pianss-cur.
tlss Hopes TO Surprise the
Flights Of HE Competitor.

/ AOO <AA80A06s- AOul0 E0UlQ80, t00
French aviator, and two members Of
his syndicate, Miscarol and Maisson
have arrived here, ready to enter the
first aeroplane contest Of the inter
national meet.
They brought with them two Bier
Tot monoplanes and two Farman bi.
planes, in which Maisson and Mis-.
carol will soar in competition with
Willard, Hamilton and Curtiss in the
speed and height tests.
There are nine heavier-than.air craft
here. ready to compete.
The Curtiss machines are the small.
est successful aeroplanes yet devel.
oped, but. the inventor declares that
he fully expected to see the speed
records lowered, while he himself
hoped to surpass the high Fights Of
his chief French competitor during
the next 10 days.
Charles Hamilton, who is here, fresh
from his recent flights near Kansas
City, is being groomed by Curtiss to
beat Paulhan's official speed record
Of mile in two minutes and one.fifth
seconds. He will also, go after the
record established by. the. luckless De
la Grange. who few a mile and 500
yards in one minute and AZ seconds.
Course Not Quite Approved.
Like Curtiss. Paulhan found the
course not quite to his liking, because
the aviators must either breast an in.
cline or go down it in starting. He
voted for a hexagonal course and at
once a score Of road making mahines
and scrapers were set at work,
smoothing out gateway, which will
permit starts level with a prairie-like
plateau that continues almost up to
the base of the mountain to the
east.
Curtiss has the Hartman biplane ali
groomed and ready. It had never
been put together before and shone
with varnish and bright metal fittings.
curtiss Flies Thrice.
Curtiss made three short flights in
the Hartman. The first time he re.
manned up half minute, the second
time 40 seconds and the third one
! minute and ten seconds. On the third
flight he travelled three quarters of q
mile.
All the American biplanes, includ.
ing one built by Captain Mueller, the
baloonist, have four cylinder motors,
except that in which Curtiss expects
to make records and take large part
of the prize money. This is the 8.
cylinder biplane in which he made
the remarkable flights at Rheims.
At the meeting he said he could not
use the full power of the motor for
fear Of wrecking the machine and
killing himself. But he has made
some notifications which will enable
him to use the full power.

The latter confirmed the statement to
Mr.. Perham but assured him that IL

Mr.. Perham said afterwards that

Senator Beveridge, apropos of the
old-fashioned snowy Christmas, said
the other day:
"Snow, of course, has its disadvan-

"'Snow is beautiful in its season.
Solomon said that. But I know an old
Indianapolis man who, on hearing this
remark of Solomon, grumbled:
"'Oh, yes, no doubt it was beautiful

THE THREE EssENrlALs q THAT
ARE GIVING WEsTERN CANADA
oroatsr Impulse Than Ever ThIa Yaar.

Theereports.1rom The ,srains fields Of
Central Canada, (which comprises the
Provinces Of Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to- hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
svtous years in proving that this por.
ton Of the Continent ts capable Of
producing splendid yield Of all the
smaller grains, but It has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
Y quantity, quality and price and from
all parts Of an area Of about 500. 900
square miles there comes the strong
refrain Of 'contentment and satisfac.
ton. In the distribution Of the con-
dttfons causing it no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates Of the total yield
OF wheat for the country have been
made, but It is not the vast total that
influences the general reader SO much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 100 million bush.
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world; 1t may be interest
Ing to know that in the worlds mar.
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now fac
tor In the making Of prices. If so to.
day, what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with total yield Of 1875 or 100
million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 325 to 600 million BUSH
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and it
has the soil. Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one Of the three
great wheat growing provinces Of Can
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat.
produces nearly 80 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of its development. AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be-
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
Of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
Of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, is
certain of splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.

THE FRENCH IN AFRICA.

The little difficulty which the French arms are having in the Tchad district of Africa-the great territory between back of TripOli and Lake Tchad-is of considerable interest and importance. for through the curious ac- ton of some interests at Constantine pie the affair might develop into one of international concern. I'm strug gle is between the French authority and the SenOussi slave trading tribes. with in this large district. which is within the French sphere of influence; and it is probable that strong French puni- tive expedition will be sent against the Senoussi, following the costly victory which Colonel Moll and few colOnials won over the slave traders. A humani- tarian touch and interest are given the situation by the statement that sue cess for the French plans, crOwding the Senoussi back and checking the supply of arms to the Mussulman tribes of Central Africa, would mean closing the last slave route in Africa and. in cidentally. would give to Tunis the market for the products of Tchad, BOr- nOu, Sokoto and Barguirmi.
 The international flavor to the situ- ation lies in the fact that while the French base their claim to the sphere of influence in the Tchad region upon
