Good Yield Assured.

Our experience with the winter
wheats has shown that as high az
sixty bushels per acre can be raised
by the use OF proper methods 4
general average output OF twenty-five
bushels TO the acre Is easily attain
able. as against 2 present average for
the United States OF fourteen bushels.
This rate OF production on all the
!ntermountaln land available would
mean an annual output OF nearly B00,-
00e. 900 bushels OF wheat. a sum more
than that OF Australia. Mexico. South
America and Canada taken together.
II means that the intermountaln
states could add 12 per cent 10 the
wheat crop or the world. At the
average annual price for the last ten
years this would mean an additional
gross income OF about $3.50, 600, 900.
Though these figures seem high and
are high. we are well assured that
they are within the facts, Wo have
for instance, excluded all lands with
a precipitation Of less than ten
inches. though In the Columbia basin
o. large portion of tho wheat Is pro-
duced under rainfall OF but seven

production of wheat has materially
Increased, our export totals have
fallen of with alarming quickness
during tho last ten years until the

one thing. that within a very short
time we shall become importers of
wheat unless our acreage and our
production per acre is Increased. In
Europe the wheat deficit Is becoming
more marked each year, In twenty
years time II has increased its an
nual production of wheat by a half
billion bushels annually, but never
theless has had to increase It's I'm

must not be forgotten either that
these figures take into account the
vast plains OF Russia. Even eastern
Europe has found It necessary TO in
crease its production by five bushels
in order TO add one to It's export
total. These figures indicate the GER
eral fact. namely. that the production
Of wheat In all civilized countries
tends TO lag behind consumption.
That prices have not risen more than

Interpreter Frank J. Dutra, who is

station, speaks Portuguese and Span
ish not only well enough to perform
his duties as Interpreter, but so well
that he is able to enter actively into
the circumscribed life of his charges
at the station and to play the part Of
father confessor and general advisor
to nine-tenths of the newly arrived.
Moreover he enjoys it, but in his ready
compliance with the desires of fond
mother and father he made diplo-
matte mistake last night the conse-
quences of which he felt thu morning.
A son was born a few days ago to
the De Costa family, originally Of Opor-
to. OF course there had to be a chris.
tening and when the time came for
the function to be performed last night
there could be no godfather but Sen
hor Dutra. The baby was accordingly
named Frank De Costa and the inter.
prefer ofIiciated in his part. Then
feeling that it was his duty to show
some appreciation of the honor, he
made a special trip up town and re.
! turned with a costly present for the
younger Frank. At the presentation
of this gift, all the inmates of the sta
ton were on hand.
This morning the parents of all the
unchristened babies in the shed ap
preached the interpreter and gracious
ly announced that the male Offspring
had to be baptized at once, and strange
ly enough, each and every one was
to bear the name of Frank and NJ

Local Chinese are still discussing
Miss Lau Bork Min, until recently
teacher in the revolutionary school in
San Francisco, who passed through
here en- route to the Orient by the
last boat
The revolutionists boast a regiment
of "soldierettes" who have displayed
great valor during the war and in this
regiment the young lady mentioned
accepted a commission and is now at
the front.
The regiment of Chinese Amazons
to which Miss Lau is attached fought
side by side with the men against the
Manchus at Hankow. Miss Lau was
one of a party of eight revolutionary
leaders who left San Francisco for
China to assist DR.. Sun Vat Sen in
organizing the Chinese republic.
The fact that the Chinese revolu-
tionists have a regiment of women
was not generally known, except
among the Chinese, until a Japanese
officer at Hankow reported to his gov
eminent that a regiment of Amazons
was attached to Ii Yuen lungs army
and had displayed great valor on the
firing line
1t appears that the regiment was or
ganized early in November by the
girls of the Chan Yu school at Shang
hal who formed troops with officers
and then demanded acceptance OF
their services in the following declar
alton sent to the republican generals:
Before Heaven men and women

times many women were wont to en-
