The entire demand of the world
for wheat has been concentrated on
the United States since the beginning
of the war" Mr.. Candy said. AN
other reason for the heavy demand
is that Australia had poor crop

Steamers Carrying Perish
,abl Goods Are Held in
English Ports.
HELD TO PRIZE COURT
Owners Want Foreign Gov
ernment to Pay Invoice
Price for Goods.

I ONDON, Jan. 12.-(S:45 p. m)@
IL The Norwegian steamers Alfred
Nobel and Bjornstjerne Bjornson.
loaded chiefly with lard, bacon and
other products of Chicago packing
houses, have been held with their
cargoes in British ports since the
middle of November. The Cargoes
are consigned ito order at Copen-
hagen.
1t is said by the owners of the yes
sells that they sailed from the United
States before the British announce
ment of October 20 that all supplies
that a belllgerent army might utilize
must be definitely consigned to- some
firm or individual.
The Swedish steamer F'ridland,
which left New York on october 2S.
also is still being held. The Frid-
land also carries packers products.
The foreign office was advised
that the Fridland's manifest was
fraudulent, it being alleged that
rubber was listed in it as gum. The
cargoes Of all three ships have been
held for a prize court The foreign
office says the delay in bringing the
cases to trial was due to the request
of the owners for time to complete
their evidence
Wanted Auction Sale.
The British government, It was
added. offered to sell the cargoes at
auction. but the owners refused to
permit this, saying the supplies were
not desirable for the London trade.
Therefore they declared the prices
received would be below the invoice.
1t was stated also that the govern
ment offered to release the cargoes
il the owners would provide surety
bonds equivalent to the total invoice
figures in order to secure the govern
ment should it win a decision In the
prize court.
The owners. according to the for
eign office, said that the bacon and
other articles in the cargoes are per-
ishable and take the position that the
British government should pay the
invoice price for them as 1t has done
for copper, since the cargoes were
at sea before Great Britain declared
foodstuffs consigned "to order con-
traband.
The packers representatives insist
that their trade with Denmark has
been large at all times. and maintain
that the British government is wrong
in assuming that foodstuffs destined
Tor neutral European countries are
intended for Germany

We learn that H. H. Nelson of Cas-
cade and mutton shipment he was
taking through to Chicago, are snow
bound on the Great Northern near
Devils Lake. There are about thir-
teen cars, or some $500 head of sheep
IN the outfit, and at last accounts
nearly one-fourth of them had sue
cumbed to cold and hunger. They had
been confined in the cars without feed
for nearly five days and partially ex-
posed to the storm. The owner of the
outfit is said to have turned the
trainload over to the Great Northern
company, to do as they please with.
Mr. Nelson loaded second train of
5000 muttons at Culbertson on Thurs
day last, just as the storm COM
menced, but after proceeding east
about fifty miles it was concluded ex-
pedlent to quit; the sheep were un-
loaded at Avoca, and have been cor.
rallied and fed in open yards the past
few days.-River Press.

Printing Office Etiquette.

A correspondent asks us whether
etiquette requires one to knock at the
door of an editors sanctum before
entering. We hasten to reply. If you
are coming to pay your subscription
or bring in nice juicy item of news
don't stop to knock, but just walk
right in as though you owned the
place. If on the other hand you are
on collection tour. you should make
the fact known through the window
and then knock at the door until the
editor opens. You may sink down
from exhaustion, before he does, but
you will be adhering to printing Office
etiquette that is bound to please the
average editor.-Ex.
A good remedy for the obease is to
eat their own cooking. 1t is said to
surpass antifat in reducing flesh.
Jim Stephens broke the record in
this neck of the woods last Saturday
for killing antelope. A large band
walked across the ice on Cherry creek
and got into Milt Harrah's pasture.
Stephens posted himself at the open
ing and turned pack of hounds loose
on the game. They circled the pas
ture several times and every time they
passed Stephens he poured a volley of
shots into them that thined their
ranks. He was engaged just thirty
minutes and killed twenty-six ante
lope. They finally broke out at the
north end Of the pasture and got
away.
