Would Handle Wheat in Bulk.

Australian wheat, at the present
time. is transported in bags, a system
which involves not only a colsidera bls
cost, but is also uneconomical in the
use Of labor. In consequence, the gov.
ernments Of New South Wales and Vic.
toria are considering proI osals for
handling it in bulk, based upon the re-
ports OF engineers, who made inquiries
as to this method in Canada, the Uni
ted States and South Africa. The ex
perts also say that the change would
result in large extension OF tho
growing areas. 1t Is understood, how
ever, that the steamship lines. which
have been approached on the subject
are not agreed that under existing cir
cumstances the shipment Ct grain in
bulk is practicable. though it is be
lieved that if adequate supplies were
guaranteed the necessary space woub
be readily forthcoming.

Thumbs Down for Eouchard

the circle of frOWns around the pol

appre tensions which kept him rest

next staff council after the fall of the
Twin Boulder Redoubt With the last
approach to the main line Of defense
cleared. one chapter Of the war was
finished. But the officers did rot man
ifest the elation that the occasion
called for, which is not saying that
they were discouraged. They had no
doubt that eventually the Grays would
dictate reace III the Browns capital.
Exactly stated, their mood was one OF
repreGsed professional irritation, Not
until the third attempt was Twin BOul-

were concerned, the nicely planned

be less correct if revealed to us for

There the chief of the acrostatic dl,

declared energetically.

The Browns are acting on the de
fensive in the air as well as on the
earth!"
But our own planes and dirigibles
bring little news said Turcas. Il
mean, those that return" he added
pungently.
| And few do return. My men are
not wanting in courage" replied the
chief aerostatic officer. "Immediately
we get over the Brown lines the

are on us like hawks. They risk any
thing to bring us down. When we de
