Wheat.-The question of supplying
to constitute the principal topic of in
terest in the grain trade. AS far as
wheat is concerned, the most serious
problem is that of distribution. Food
Administrator Hoover says that the
United States must supply 100000 900
tons of foodstuffs during the present
season, compared with normal of
about 100000 tons. This. of course,
includes all kinds of foodstuffs, and
is reckoned as the loading capacity of
United States ports. According to
Broomhall, the exportabIe surplus of
wheat from the past and present sea-
sons will aggregate 688.0O0,0 900 bush
els, which compares with a pre- war
average importation by importing
countries of 48o.0000OO bushels.
Corn.-The corn market displayed
a firm undertone throughout the
greater part of the day, closing prac-
tically at the top with net gains of
&c and 3Ac. The market was appar-
emily in an oversold position as a re-
suit of operations earlier in the week.
and shorts had difficulty in covering.
Moreover. the cash position was Fl irm.
and it was said that farmers were not
disposed to sell at present prices.
Good progress has been made recent
ly in husking, however, and if
weather conditions prove favorable
for curing the crop it seems only rea-
sonable to anticipate an ENLARGED
movement in the near future.

Shasta Limited Maid
Sees Citys Charms

Last week when the passenger
trains were held up in Ashland sew
eral hours by the wreck north of
here, several residents Of the city
endeavored to help the passengers
while away the tedium of waiting
by taking the transient guests out
in their cars for short ride around
the scenic points of this section.
Among the invited guests in one
of the automobiles was colored
woman whose enjoyment of the pleas
IRE trip accorded to her was volubly
expressed. This woman was the maid
On the Shasta Limited, and she had
been running through Ashland for
many years. This was the first time,
however, that she had ever been
around the city, although she said
It had long been her desire to stop
off and see the beauties of which she
had only caught passing glimpses.
The praise that this maid will give
this city after her tour of its points
Of interest will go a great way to-
wards announcing its charms to the
tourists who pass through this Sec
tion.

at the forks of the river Sunday
afternoon a typical eastern water
spout came up the river, furiously
famed by a whirlfind, and for a
time things looked a little dubious
for the two fishermen. The animal"
came direct for the fishermen's boat
and the water from the river was
drawn into the air for several feet,
rocking the boat and giving the oc-
cupants a good drenching. Mr.
Brunn's hat was taken into the air
and his coat, which he had placed
in the front of the boat, was lifted"
a distance of 30 or 40 feet and car
ried up the river, both Of which were
recovered Aafter the men came out
of the ordeal. People watching the
boat from shore expected to see the
craft capslzed at any moment, but
Brunn's averdupois was too much for
any whirlwind to get away with and
