Progressive Set-Back.
Philadelphia Bulletin.

Senator Brookhart the rising chieftain of the farmers bloc, met the fate of many prophet in his own country when the Iowa State Senate turned down the bill of a Presidential primary, introduced by the Senator's brother at the formers request.
 But the disappointment s entirely personal The hope eff the Progressives- Senator Johnson and others-haye been grounded in securing Presidential primaries in sufficient number of guar antee influential bloc of in the next Re- publican National Convention, and Icwa has been counted on to do it's part Hopes high because of the victory of radcasm in the election of Brook hart. But the State Senates action shows that the conservative Republicans not without strength and disposition to make a stand against ultra Pro- gressiyism.

A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWEEDL EDEE
 AND TWEEDLEDUM?

Delegate Sutherland says the Ketchikan Grand Jury report is practically an endorsement of tn, White Bill with the Sutherland amendment and add that is what he has been after all the time The White Bill would give the Department of Commerce complete Jurisdiction the whole fisheries in- dusiry in Alaska with power 10 make any sort of regulations it would decide to be necessary with certain limitations regarding traps.
 ihat is the power the Department of Commerce acquires through the creation of fisheries reserves Ill other words the Department of Commerce is ac- quring Jurisdiction the fisheries industry with power to make such regulations as it may decide to be necessary through the executive action of creating reserves. The Delegate thinks this is very wrone and he has accused the Department of being in con spiracy with the Big Cannery Interests through it However, he thinks il would be the proper thing if 1t acquired Jurisdiction to do exactly what it is doing through Act of Congress
 anyone can explain why regulations made by the Department of Commerce acting under iurisdic uon acquired through the creation of fish reserves would be njuriously favorable to the Big Cannery Interests while the regulations made by the same authority acting under jurisdiction aeouired through legislation would be so we should like to hear it.

CLOSER RELATIONS WITH ALASKAN

There is good why Canada and Alaska should have very business
 and social relationship with the other.
 The Canadian National Railways is really an International railway, for part of the system is in the United States Many American
 citizens employed the road and Am erican capital is developing the resources of Canada and especially of British Columbia.

 barrier set by the transportation
 panies and other interests for fear Alaskan

 It is foolish for citizens of either country
 to allow barriers of this kind to exist The
 ideal would be to have perfectly free trade
 between the two countries but that being impossible just now the best thing is to prevent irritating legislation either side which might tend to friction and interfere with the natural of trade.

THE WHEAT PROBLEM

After all is said in behalf Of the
wheat farmer, in an effort to bring
to him a price for his grain that Will
fairly compensate for the cost of pro-
duction and provide reasonable
profit, it is unlikely that anything
definite will be done in the way Of
relief.
That the wheatgrower is entitled to
better prize than he will be paid II
he sells under prevailing market con-
ditions, is not denied. The only i'm
mediate remedy for the wheat farmer
is an act of congress stabilizing the
price of wheat, but If wheat is stabil-
lied, demand will quite naturally
arise for the stabilizing of other agri-
cultural products, and where the price
would end, no one could tell.
OF course, we have various kinds
of fixed prices, established by govern
mental authority, and it would seem
that the wheatgrower is as much en-
titled to aid as are men i'm other lines
of business, whether they be manu-
facturers, operators Of public utilities,
or what not.

wheat, if he turns to diversified farm

prices will, Of course, soar But then
he would have little wheat to sell
Concerted action of all wheat-growing
sections in the matter of curtailing
! production also would be necessary,
and this is impossible of accomplish
ment, and besides offers no relief for
conditions today.
If a farmer receives 80 cents a
bushel for his wheat, this price will
cause him no deep concern, provided
commodities that he is compelled to
buy may be purchased on a similar
basis. If a farmer can buy har-
vester, or a suit Of clothes, or pair
Of shoes at pre-war prices, he quite
naturally will be willing to take pre-
war prices for his wheat But manu-
facturers are conceding little IL any
thing toward reducing costs to the
consumer. Skilled tradesmen, also,
are demanding and receiving what |
formerly was two days pay for a
half days work.
In July, 1894, wheat on the Chicago
board of trade was quoted at so 3-S
,ents a bushel, and the highest price
or that year in Chicago was SO "a

SUPPLY OF TIMBER ASSURED
With Proper Management, Occur
D'Alene National Forest Can Fur
nlsh Millions Of Feet Yearly.

Fifty million feet of sawlogs can be
removed annually for all time from
the Occur d'Alene national forest,
Idaho, according to the prescriptions
of the management plan approved by
the forest service, United States De
partment Of Agriculture.
The net area of forest is about Geo.
600 acres, Of which about $4,000 acres
Is considered as productive forest land
The great share of the timber as
usual, is In two age classes, the ma.
ture and overmature class and the
very young, 0 to 20-year, class.
The main problem of management is
that Of making the mature timber last
for q sufficient period to enable the
youngest and intermediate classes tC
reach maturity. THIS average period
is estimated at so years, during which
time total of 4,000,00O,0O0 feet vii
be removed, or an average of 50,000
600 feet per year.
