Tt tiuiieu Slates consul at Shanghai reports: It is said that there are about 35 flour mills in the Chinese empire, pro- uucing i,buu,uuu barrels or nour, wnicn of course, comes Into direct competi tion with the . foreign-made article, and which, as time goes on, will some day develop to satisfactory proportions. The foreign made article is bound to feel the competition of the local pro duct, for in the near future more flour mills will "be erected, there will be more lands under cultivation, and the v heat raising of the empire will pre sent itself as a factor of Importance in the supply of Its own breadstuffs. As China Is today entirely dependent up on her home agricultural products. It Would Ie put an Increased develop ment of her natural resources If she would enter upon the raising of wheat atid the exportation of flour to the markets now being monopolized by the surplus production . of India. In the northwest of Kansu, which prov- y ince is considered among the most fer ine in China, wheat or line quaiuy is harvested. In lower Yunnan the pro duct is large and satisfactory. In the provinces of Kwel-chow, Quantung, I ' kien, Chekiang and others wheat of a fair quality Is raised all, how ever, capable of being made richer by the application of the methods of modern farming.

He said: "We have a large deficit, but the revenues under the present system are Improving monthly as the business conditions become better, and the last normal year for imports was flBcal year ending June 30, 1908, and therefore the committee took 1906 as a basis upon which to form the esti mate of the revenue-producing quali ties of the new bill, and with the re turn of anything like normal condi tions during the next fiscal year, it Is sare to predict the deficit will be en tirely wiped out. If not, the bill pro vides for an Issue of Panama canal bonds to reimburse the treasury, and there is alvo re-enacted a provision for an Issue of certificates running a year, for the purpose of replenishing the treasury and raising from 100 million to 250 million dollars." The Lumber Itedin-tioiw. A reduction of 50 per cent on lum ber duty will work greatly to the ad vantage of Canadian lumbermen. The reduction is opposed by lumbermen of the Pacific northwest. Advocates of the reduction claimed the prices of lumber were excessive, and that the great manufacturers are curtailing the output for the purpose of Incraesing the market price. It is expected a hard fight will be made on this feat ure of the bill. It is expected that the establishment of free trade' with the Phillpplnse, provided in the bill, even though limitations are placed on. to bacco, cigars, sugar will work an im mediate benefit in Increased traffic to Pacific coast shipping interests.

Men are buying desert land near Hermlston at enormous prices and fig uratively speaking are breaking their necks to secuie water rights at $60 per acre and $1 maintenance fees un der the Hermlston project. This Is the report brought from there by local real estate men who have been there. Seventeen thousand acre-feet of wa ter will be turned into the ditches next Saturday. If these same men were to buy water rights for $20 per acre as can be done in this county, the rush would be but little more for these men realize that water Is cheap at even $60.
