The effective training of West
Point and the value of army discipline
are clearly shown--by the success Of
Colonel Goethals and the officers who
are assisting him in the great under
taking entrusted to them. They have
cleaned up the isthmus without any
great ado ana are digging the canal
with a rapidity that is amazing.
For a few thousand dollars year
Colonel Goethals is performing the
service for which civilian engineers
would demand fabulous salary. And
he regards it as part of his life work.
He moves on without thought OF
greater reward than the knowledge
that he has done his duty we'll and liv-
ed up to the ideals Of the army.
AS long as the United States car

WHEAT SUPPLIES.

Commenting on the wheat supplies
and the wheat consumption The Min
neapolis Tribune said editorially:
Since thu first or the year the visi-
BILE supply of wheat has decreased 49,
409, 900 bushels. This very large con-
sumption has been lost sight Of be-
cause terminal stocks are so extraor-
binary liberal that the Withdrawals
have not been great enough to reduce
accumulations to the average holdings
at this time of the crop year.
The government rep rt covering
farm reserves confirms the opinion
held by many in the grain trade that
the heavy marketing by producers has
resulted in reducing first hand holdings
| to the point which precludes any pro-
| Ionged free movement from the inter-
| ior. Wheat reserves are the smallest
since 1905, which measured the amount
| in the farmers hands following the
black rust crop Of 1904. Compared
with 1909, year very similar to the
| present, farm reserves are 21,000,00(
| bushels less, but, as an interesting CO.
| incidence, the supply Of wheat now il
sight is 21,000,ooO bushels more. This
statistical position may be said to bt
about the same as 1909.
The chief concern of the ma. .ze
