A convention of the wheat growers of fhe state was held yesterday af ternoon in the Grangers' building, on the comer of Davis and California streets, II. M. Laure of Sacramento presiding. The committe appointed at the previous meeting presented the following report, which was unani mously indorsed, the meeting be coming quite enthusiastic: "Gentlemen of Wheat Growers' Convention: Your committe ap pointed to report to this adjourned meeting a plan of organization, hav ing in view the promotion of the in terests of the wheat growers of Cali fornia, beg leave to report that since the adjournment in April last much thought has been bestowed upon the proposition to form a separate organ ization of grain growers, and the more that is bestowed upon it the more intricate and doubtful seems the proposition. The diverse opin ions expressed at the April session as to the means to be employed to ob tain the end which all seek would appear to render futile all attempts to unite the wheat growers upon any one method that might be proposed. Success in this enterprise means res ponsibility, means business experience and capacity, means tangible capital, and trie question is, can we command these in sufficient quantity to inspire confidence in business circles and the support of the farming fraternity? The difficulties experienced in the organization and the putting of the Granger's Bank and Granger's Busi ness Association into successful op peration, avowedly for the same ob jects, and under the stimulus of the Grange enthusiasm, which at the time was at fever heat, would answer the question in the negative. Those of us who are familiar with the incep tion of these iustitntutions know full well with what zeal the preliminary steps were taken lo form the incorpo rations, and they also know how that . zeal ebbed when the farmers were asked to put down binding signatures to furnish money to place them on the necessary financial basis, and a less favorable result even, is feared should we attempt the formation of a new and separate organization. But, if it is to be inexpedient, if not im practicable, to build np this separate organization, let us see if the ma chinery is not already to our hands to accomplish the very objects sought Tjy this convention. The Grangers' Bank and Grangers' Building Associ ation of San Francisco were created ole!y in and for the benefit of the farmers, to give them additional cap ital aud facilities for holding their products for a reasonable market, and " " "J - . J - V. . . V. J 1 1 - s4fitjions have been under the eye and -direUPil Qf-honest, practical men,4n the interests of agriculture. They arc now provided with ample storage and shipping facilities, will system with experience and sufficient capital, and whatever a new organi zation could accomplish can be as well or better done by these agencies belonging to and managed in the in terests of farmers. If these institu tions are a success, and their present standing in financial,-commercial and farming circles indicate they ire, then there is no need of forming a new one for the same purpose. If not a success it would be idle to at tempt to do what has proved a fail ure under much more favorable cir cumstances. If the wheat growers would unite to sustain the houses owned, managed and controlled by themselves, would not the benefits anticipated by this convention arising fro;;: a distinct organization be se cured? So it seems to the under signed. The present state of the wheat market requires some attention from this convention. The most re Hal !e reports received from all parts of t be world makes it almost abso lutely certain that the grain crops are much below the average; when it is also known that not above one-third, certain'ynot to exceed ou.-halt, of an average crop has been raised this year in this state: when there is more than double the tonnage in the har bor and to arrive than there was one year ago; when, further, the high rates to Europe are stimulating every vessel possible to head this way for cargoes, our farmers pursue the snici dul polioy of pouring into the San Francisco market more wheat than is wanted t3 fill the ships, thereby keeping freights to exhorbitant fig ures, and depressing the price of wheat correspondingly. With storage already a fixed charge which must be paid in any event, with interest at 7 to 9 per cent, per annum, it is sim ply a question of endurance, if inclin ed to make it one between farmer and ship-owners, or ship-brokers. It is believed the farmer can hold out the longer with his wheat in the ware house than the ships lying idle in the harbor. It should be a cardinal prin ciple never to crowd the market with wheat when the ocean freights are above and wheat below a reasonable rate. In conclusion it is recommend ed that a resolution be adopted by the convention declaring its convic tion that relief from the present ex orbitant ocean freights can be se cured only by withholding wheat from sale until more reasonable terms are conceded. A General discussion followed, the sentiment oCthe meeting being unan imous that it was advisable to with hold t :c wheat from the market. It was stated that the crop of this year is not more than one-quarter that of last yeur, and the total about 1,000, 000, ol which 160,000 have already been shipped. With nearly 600,000 tonnage on the way to arrive before November 1st and 120,000 in port, it was deemed certain that -freight rates could be broken within sixty days by withholding wheat, which could be done, because money was to be had in plenty at from 6 to 7 per cent, and that long before the winter was over the hold era could forse their wheat up to over two cent. In short, it was concluded that the farmers were masters of the situation, and that a concerted movement should bo made to take prompt advantage of it, with a view to getting even for some of the years they have had advantage taken of them. With this object it was de cided to appoint a committee to gath er statistics and prepare and distrib ute circulars through the State lo induce the farmers to hold their wheat. Prompt action being deem el desirable, it was decided to meet again on to-morrow week, the 14th inst. San Francisco Chronicle. MANITOBA AND WINNIPEG. CAUSES CF EXPENSE TO TAXPAYERS. Editors Gazette: From leaders in some of the issues of your paper, the taxpayers of Benton county should look upon the office of justice of the peace as the source from which comes a great burden in the shape of taxes, and that the justice is responsi ble for the same. Especially in the Gazette of-Sept. 9th you refer to a case examined before me, you say: "Irrour quiet town a case has occur red in which it setras to us if more precaution had been observed before issuing the warrant, the people wonld have been saved quite a sum. This case came from the beach mining re gions of the lower Alsea valley. The complaining party in place of. com plaining to the justice in his own precinct, came to Corvallis and filed his statement in writing with the justice here, who issued the warrant without taking the depositions of any witnesses as pointed out by the code." Now Mr. Editor, as yon seem to think that my action in the AJsea case has imposed a heavy tax on the taxpayers of Benton county, I will explain. When the complaint wa made to me I -demurred to issuing a warrant upon the statement of the prosecuting witness. The deputy prosecuting attorney came to me and told me to issue the warrant, as the attorneys for the prosecution, (at least one of them) told hirn he had exam ined the prosecuting witness and there was every reason to believe a crime had been committed. Upon such authority, with the sworn 6tate ment of John Vinge, the prosculing witness, and by order of E. Holgate, deputy State Attorney, I issued the warrant and because the State failed to prove a case and have the party bound to appear before the Grand jury and put the county to $500 more costs, hence the great cry of costs to taxpayers. Upon my acts in the above ease in issuing a warrant, I am willing the taxpayers should pass judgment. The editor of the Gazette forgets that about the 15th of last February he caused a certain party lo make oath that a crime had been commit ted, and when the State attorney de murred to the complaint, said if he, the Slate attorney, would not attend to it, he would and did so, The warrant was issued, parties came into court, and before all the witness es had been examined the court be came satisfied there was no cause for action and dismissed the case. Who will the taxpayers blame for the coats in the case, the justice or the editor of the Gazette? I think the last hit at "justices" was uncalled for, and there are other mat ters of costs that would do the tax pavers good to know of. Geo. P. Wbbnx. That province of the Dominion of Canada now known as Manitoba was originally limited to less than 14,000 miles. But its authority is rapidly extending westward and north wesl- j ward, along the valley of the S3S katchewan; and when Manitoba is now mentioned it implies a vast area, as large as Illinois, Iowa and Wis consin. It embraces all the territory around Lake Winnipeg, the entire valley of the Assiniboin river, all of the va'ley of Red river north of the American line and all the lower valley of the great Saskatchewan, a river as long as the Ohio ami navigable for hundreds of miles in the direction of the Rocky mountains, where its sour ces are, in latitude from 50 to 55 de grees north. The course of Red river is due north, from ahout iatitude 45 degrees north, in Minnesota, and the greatest length of the river is iu that State, not more than 100 miles of it being in Manitoba. The river de bouches into Lake Winnipeg at .the extreme southern end of the lake, after receiving the Assiniboin from the northwest, about twenty miles from the lake. At the junction of these two rivers, is situated Winnipeg the capital town of Manitoba, in latitude 50 degrees, or just about 700 miles further north than Phila delphia, and 800 miles above the lat itude of Montreal. But the climate is not more rigorous in vinter than that of Quebec. For hundreds of miles all around the city of Winnipeg the country stretches out a dead level, treeless, save on the river banks, where the cottonwood and willow are found in rather a stunted growth. The soil is a rich black loam, with a subsoil of while clay or marlo, and as far as tested it produces immense crops of wheat, oats and such other cereah; as can be raised in North Germany and the Scandinavian coun tries. Wheat on the new lands yields from thirty to forty-five bush els per acre, and oats from fifty to sity bushels. The native prairie grasses are excellent, and the valley of Red river has long been famous as the summer resort of the largest herds of buffi I o. To the hardy races of Nortuert Europe this reigon will prove an agricultural El Dorado in the near future, ami it is now attract ing as much attention and emigration from the Eastern provinces of the Dominion as Dakota or Texas from the United Stales. The population is assumed to have doubled within the last two years, and though the census returns from that part of Cauada are not yet re ported, there is a strong conviction that the returns for 18S1 will more than double the entire population in 1880. In 1871 it was officially stated at 12,223,-aud at hat time, the place now known as Winnipeg had no x iatanee, save as a fort and for trading establishment of the Hu lsm Biy company. The papers of Minnesota now state its population at 14,000, in the early spring of the year, a growth of nearly 10,000 in one year. And it is confidently spaken of as "the future St. Louis of the North." Lots for building purposes on the business streets are selling at prices ranging,, according to location, from 400 to $000 per front foot, and business is on a constant "boom." The influx of new comers is confined to Canadians. Thousands of Americans from Minne sota and Dakota are floating down the Red river into Manitoba. There are already three railways in oper ation from Winnipeg, and steamers are multiplying on the lake and the rivers. It is said that by another year seven railways will center at the capital, and many oihers are in embryo projection. The cost of con struction, owing to the dead level of the country, is little more ban the cost of ties and rails, and it is the ebeapest railway region in the world. Here, then is the bad of a new life bloom for the Dominion. Winnipeg is to become in a tew years a greater and more populous city than Mont real, with its railway system rival ing that of Chicago, and its wheat fields stretching eastward to Lake Superior, westward to the foothills of the Rocky mountains, southward to the Minnesota line, and north Co the divide which separates the waters of Hudson bay from ihe river system that feeds Lake Winnipeg. The important question is, will the trade of this promising region of the future drift toward the fet. Laurence and Montreal, or southward into the States and Chicago? On the settlement of this depends the other one. Whether Manitoba shall remain in political connection wi h the Dominion, or cut lose and cast its lot with the great Republic. It is too soon yet to decide; but we j may reckon with' much confidence j upon one event, and that is th it ; American enterprise will in a few : years dominate at Winnipeg all the j principal towns of Manitoba.
