CHAPTER XIX.

They paused in the Office, the three
of them, and while Miss Thorne was
giving some instructions as to her
baggage the prince went over to the
telegraph booth and began to write

After a moment Miss Thorne signi-
ded her readiness, and they started
out. At the door Mr.. Grimm stopped
and turned back to the desk, as if
struck by some sudden thought, leaY-
ing them together.
"Oh, Miss Thorne left a message for

the clerk. -She's decided it is IN

It was passed over without COM

dressed to Mr.. Charles Winthrop Ran
kin. Mr.. Grimm glanced at the SUI
prescription. tore the envelope into
bits and dropped 1t into a basket. A
minute later he was assisting Miss
Thorne and the prince into an auto
mobile that was waiting in front. As
the car moved away two other auto
mobiles appeared from corners near
by and trailed along behind to the
station. There a private compart-
ment-car was in readiness for them.
It was a long, dreary ride-a ride
OF utter silence save for the roar and
clatter of the moving train. Mr..
Grimm, vigilant, impacable, sat at
ease; Miss Thorne, resigned to the
inevitable, whatever it might be,
studied the calm, quiet face from be-
meath dropping lids; and the prince,
sullen, scowling, nervously wriggIed In
his seat. Philadelphia was passed,
and Trenton, and then the dawn be-

was quite light when they rolled into

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT In
CANADA.
| FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SEVERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year Of 1911 than did almost any
other portion Of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops Of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good, but there was not
the usually excellent rfpening weather
In August and the effects Of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to % and 80 bush
els, while some Of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face Of these conditions, il is found
that during the months of September
and October, the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total of 1872 million dollars.
the average price for this wheat be
ing 973I cents; that below contract
for the two months was little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of S91k cents per busheI
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, OF grand total for all wheat
Of 80 million bushels, which realized
a total of a little over thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands Of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 80 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
Of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
Of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 80 cts. a bushel- The
average freight rate is not over 13
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 68 cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat OF
171A cts. and for his high-grade wheat
of 1919 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount Of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

GROWTH UF PRODUCTS
OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
The figures of growth since annexa-

tion of Hawaii to the United States
and, indeed since the reciprocity
treaty of 1876 between the islands and
the United States, by which freedom
of commercial intercourse with this
country was established and invest
ments of American capital thus assur-
ed-are extremely interesting. A table
shows, for example, the production of
sugar, by far the most important pro-
duct of the Hawaiian islands, from
1875 down to and including 1911. The
production, of sugar in 1875, the year
Immediately to the adoption of the
reciprocity treaty, is given at 25,000,-
o00 pounds; by 1881 it had grown te
"a, 900. 900 pounds: in 1891, 275,oO0,,

much in 1911 as in 1875. The value,
which was stated at $1,250,000 in
1875. was given at $36,750,000 in 1911,
or thirty times as much in 1911 as in
1875. Thus the quantity of sugar pro-
duced in 1911 is forty times as great
as in the year Immediately prior to the
beginning of reciprocity and the value
thirty times as great the relative diff
ference in increase between quantity
and value being due, of course, to re-

ITICS AT CAPITAL

Ernest G.. Walker. Washington cor
respondent of the Sacramento Bee, in
a special to his paper yesterday, says
United States District Attorney
Samuel Platt and Representative
George Bartlett, of Nevada, who hap
pened there at the same time, talked
Interestingly of Nevada politics of the
presidential variety. Mr.. Platt de-
clared that President Taft would get
an instructed delegation from Nevada
to the national convention.
Says Taft Is Popular.
"The president has always been
popular in the state, said Mr.. Platt,
and of late the people have regarded
him as the logical, safe and sane can
didate. There is growing opposition to
the radical element of the party. Mr..
Taft western tour did him lots of
good Colonel Roosevelt has lost
ground. There is strong sentiment
against anybody having third term
in the presidency. Roosevelt carried
Nevada in 1904, but I doubt whether
he could carry it again. President
Taft would have a good chance to
carry the state, although it is nor
mally Democratic. In the Democratic
camp there has been some organization
for Woodrow Wilson, but | believe
Champ Clark would make the strong
est candidate for that party
Democratic Chances.
Mr.. Bartlett declared that the Will
son boom is dying in the west.
"Clark will be the legatee of the
Wilson boom,'' he said. "In the
smoking compartments of the trans
continental trains / found much Clark
sentiment and that is a fair indication
of the situation. Clark is strong in
Nevada. The feeling out my way is
that neither an ultra-r radical nor an
ultra conservative should be nominat-
ed by the Democrats if the party is to
win. Harmon can not be nominated
without Bryan's support, which we
know he will not get.
