POSTPONED FOR THE

Old Barn at Public Auction In
Near Future--May Alter Pre-
sent Barn.

The special committee of city copn-
Gil, which consists OF all members of
that body, for the purpose of reaching
some decision with reference to the
matter OF providing new stables for
the city stock, gathered yesterday af-
ternoon ct 8 o'clock at the city hall
and vent for an inspection OK ttla city
stables and other sites about the city
available for this purpose.
The committee decided not to at
tempt the erection Of any new perman-
ent stables just at this time. It was
decided, however, that the old wooden
barn which stands on the lot occupied
by the city stables would be torn
down and sold at auction. The COM
mittee set next Monday as a date for
the disposal of the old barn.
It was stated that the committee is
considering the advisability OF enlarg-
ing the present city stables for the
present, or making other changes that
would make the. present satisfactory
for the time being. However, NO de-
finite decision was reached with re-
gard to this matter. and the question
will probably be settled some time in
the Immediate future.

The Wonderful French Soldier.

Frederick Palmer in Golfers Weekly.
How completely war has revealed the
nature of the different peoples. Its light
ming flashes throw national characteristic
on the screen in vivid outline.
The pity OF Ii Is that II took war to win
back the prestige which the French had
lost in war. Though to no people does
life mean more than to the thrifty French,
no soldiers were ever reader to give their
lives more freely. Officers could not hold
and charged, often with fatal results.
Young lieutenants OF St. Cyr, the French
West Point, wore their white gloves and
white plumes. The army insisted on its

puzzles the British, who light another pipe

Here was a thing only the French

when the Germans were massed on a
road and deploying for attack, down that
road through the French infantry came a
French battery hell-for-leather on the gal
lop. They swung around in line without
taking their guns from their horses. Their
guns were already loaded. Evidently they
knew exactly the range they would have
to fire. They had calculated the time they
would take to reach the spot where h
began firing and how far the Germans
would be advanced at that moment. Bang!
Bang! Bang! they poured In the shells
which tore up the charge and stopped 1t.
Then hell-for-leather they galloped way.

time is the binding Irvine outlook. But.
you say, why should farmers worry over
that proposition? win not the Interna-
tional Harvester company and other big
concerns taxi care OF that? And what
about the penitentiaries In several states
hat are manufacturing large quantities
Of II, will they not afford an abundance?
Well, the answer to such questions all
depends Upon Mexico. The average citizen
has not thought much about our depend
ence upon that country for anything, but
here we are absolutely helpless as far as
binding Irvine Is concerned, except as we
can procure the usual supply OF sisal from
our rebellious neighbor on the south.
The government has taken cogniZance
Of a condition Of unusual moment by or
derlng Il warship TO chaperon some big
ocean vessels to Yucatan that they may
bring to this country a large shipment OF
sisai grass that Is ready for the American
market. Every year VIC import from that
country sissl grass enough to make ZOO
10000 pounds OF Irvine. That enabled
binding Irvine factories to furnish a need
ed supply to grain growers In this coun-
try. But we are confronted with another
peculiar condition. On account of the big
demand for wheat made by the European
wal and the high prices that prevail an
unusually large acreage has been sown.
1t 10 announced that there are 81, 100000
acres sown 10 winter wheat. Hitherto the
biggest wheat crop ever grown In this
country ran around 50,OO0,00O acres. The
increase In spring wheat acreage Is estl-
mated at 100000 acres. Add this to the
llCTcA5o III WHlleE WHEAT hCTdke ana the
total reaches about "a per cent. Last
years big wheat crop cleaned up about all
OF the surplus twine on the market and
with the increase this season the tax on
binding Irvine production IL going to be
enormous.
1t is going to take all OF the available
supply of sisal from Mexico, the West In
dies and the Philippines and then some.
The war In Mexico has seriously crippled
the production of the sisal plant, or at
least tho harvesting OF II. Last year we
got from that country 1876, 0S6 tons OF sisal
grass and we imported 2,461 tons from
elsewhere, making 2l5, 547 tons. The year
before our imports were 153. S6S tons, and
114,567 ons IN 191l-l2 Last year our sisal
imports were 80 per cent higher than the
average OF the two years before. Corn
binding by machinery Is greatly increas-
ing the demand Western provinces OF
Canada shoul this year have 1900. 900
acres In wheat and as much in oats and
barley.
with all Of this vast increase in the
grain producing acreage n the possible
restriction OF raw material from which
binding Irvine is made 1t not only means a
shortage OF binding material but 1t also
means a sharp advance in the price.
