chase of the Blak Bear Mines Co. of
Wallace, Idaho, in the last six
months, according to correspondence
reproduced in circular form by Peter
Bernier, president of the Black Bear.
The Colville Valley Coal Co. has
run three entries of 70 feet each
from the slope on its mine near Val
ley, according to H. G. West, secre-
tary, July 16 They are 60 feet apart
and will be connected with a tunnel
by a raise. The development will
block out coal and provide ventila-
ton.

Washington, ID. C.-Although admin

senate circles discount the possibility
of President Wilson accepting any
reservations in the ratification of the
peace treaty and league of nations,
some republican senators who have
told the president in their conferences
that majority will favor interpreta-

middle ground may be found upon
which the opposing forces may unite.
Administration senators continue
firm in their claim that they will
have the votes to pass the treaty
without change, consequently they do
not care to discuss what might hap

oranges, and In this last epidemic OF
influenza oranges were at premium
because the energy due to the in
slant availability OF the sugar in them
made the demand greater than the
supply.
The unfermented beverages are
rapid energizers due to the sugar
contained. If these beverages were
made of water. tlavoring and an arti-
fetal sweetener, their popularity
would not have lasted, but it is the
renewed vitality which one perhaps
unconsciously gets which makes
these products most valuable.
Candy is another stimulant. The

that candy has always replaced alco-

sumption has gone up in leaps and

sugar is such great stimulant. The

Grain, Flour and Feed.

Wheat-The grain corporation an
nounced July Is that there would be
no advance from the premium over
the guaranteed price of wheat i'm
posed by julius Barnes, United States
wheat director, before August Is,
since the movement from the farms
does not warrant the increase and
the grain corporation has been able
to make only small purchases. Win
ter and spring wheat crops in Wash
ington suffered loss of 7,523,OOO
bushels from the June 1 outlook due
to continued drouth in the wheat dis
tricts, according to the July report
of julius H. Jacobson, of the federal
bureau of crop estimates in Washing
ton. The promise July l was for
total crop of 50,252,000 bushels from
2,573,000 acres, compared with 26,-
429, 900 bushels from 2,191 900 acres
in 1918. Harvesting of fall wheat is
we'll under way in most sections of
the Pacific Northwest and few car
loads have been moved to the coast
to meet an occasional urgent need
for milling or feeding. New crop
quotations are $2O41s, $2.02h, $2.O0a
and $197R for the four leading va
rieties, with bulk prices 41ac less.
Flour-A between-seasons condi
ton exists. New wheat is not yet

$11.6O and $11.40 for firsts and sec
onds and $11.S0 for hard wheat va
rieties.
Feed-With the restriction of mill

mand bran and shorts are up 10 cents
to SLIGO per sack. Barley is up 81 tc

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

A steadily increasing degree of
confidence and optimism prevails in
industrial and commercial circles,
which finds reflection also in specu-
4 lative and investment channels. In
fact, about the only activity that is
holding back IS general building and
improvement work. of which there is
obviously lot to be done and which
will doubtless gradually revive now
that peace has been definitely con-
cluded.
The start is being made in the
harvest of the largest cereal crop in
the history Of this country, in spite
of the fact that previous estimates
will not be fully sustained, owing to
unfavorable weather in some sections
of the country. In the Pacific North
west spring wheat has been consd-
erably damaged by dry, hot weather
during June, but the aggregate of
returns promise to be far above nor
NAL, while developments in horticul.
ture and in beet sugar industry, with
other progressive features are of a
notably favorable nature.

There has been marked increase

ment issued by the department of agri-
culture. The average value of aver
age grade plow lands is now about
$74.3l. compared with $6S.39 year
ago, $62.17 two years ago and $3.50
three years ago. The greatest per-
centage increase in value during the
past year occurred in the South At
lantic states, in the Carolinas and
Georgia. and extended to Alabama,
Kentucky, and Arkansas. Small or no
increases were made in the New Eng

Iowa stands first in value of plow-

YIELDS OF WHEAT WILL
BE CLOSE TO NORMAL.
Cooperative Crop Reporting Ser
vice Gives Rather Encouraging
Quotations from Threshers.

Advance reports from thresher-
men received by the cooperative
crop reporting service indicate
that the yields of wheat will be
close to normal this year, except
the north central part OF the state
and in restricted areas in the
eastern part. In parts of Weld,
Morgan, Larimer. Boulder, Adams,
Jefferson and ArapahOe the crop
was seriously damaged by drought
and will in many districts average
as low as SO per cent of the nor
NAL production.
Since this district produces a
very large percentage of the wheat
grown in the state the result will
be marked reduction in total
production from preliminary esti-
mates. The acreage devoted to
the crop, however, is somewhat
greater than advance reports in
dicated, SO that total production
will be fully 100000 bushels greater
than the largest crop previously
grown. County assessors reports
Indicate that the area devoted to
the crop is nearly 100000, or
about 100000 acres more than was

This Year.

Practically complete reports
from county assessors to the state
immigration bureau show that ap-
prOximately seven per cent Of the
states acreage is in cultivation
this year, not including the area
devoted to wild hay.
Revised figures show that Phil
lips county is the states leading
agricultural county in proportion
to it's size, having a larger per cen
tage of its area in cultivation than
any other county.
Preliminary reports gave this
honor to Logan county, which has
under cultivation this year 4O5,7
acres, or 34.79 per cent of its total
acreage. Phillips. which is a much
smaller county, has 1922 acres
under cultivation, or 1852 per cent
OF it's area.
Wheat and corn are the leading
crops in both these counties and
the yields OF the former crop will
be above the average.
Eight counties in the northeast
corner of the state, Weld, Adams,

walton this year, or approximate
