"Thoru 1 a special diinand that tbo

This means a sure and iiik-k market
for Uio new crop. It Is ImiMiaslble us
yet to estimate the probable forelgu

Indicate that, while the crop lu France,
England and Itussla will bil ml tile lent,
Germany and the Uanube states bavo
fared bndjy, so that the total Kuroeun
crop will hardly uuiU'h the ahuudunt
yield of 1005 uud UsJU. The obvious
meaning of such a situation is that
Europe must have such of our wheat
surplus as tho American market can
spare and must pay fulr prices for It.

ference. It still remains to seonvbat happens
to our spring wheat cro i and to for

months. Hut ns matters' stand, bow
ever, there are several re asonable In
ferences: First, the American fnrn or will sell
an abundnnt wheat crop at highly
remunerative prices; scca nd, those
prices nre not likely to go again to
tho "famine figure," which v HI impose
hardship on consumers; U drd. the
railways will hnvc the averngt amount
of wheat to transport to market;
fourth, our cxort of whoat ni 'd flour,
which In the past twelve mont hs was
cut down 50,000.000 bushels fr m tho
year before and 31,000,000 frot n two
years ngo, should be lncrens J by
twenty-five to forty millions, tr ireby
helping our market for Internal lonnl

Servers Connection With P. R., L. A
P. Co., After 19 Years Service.
Chnrles G. Miller, who has been
conmwtod with the Fortlnnd Hallway,
Uglit & Fower Company for the last
19 years, hns resigned his position to
take effect November 1.' next. He
will be succeeded by Freight Agent
Telford, and the collection office of
tbe company will be moved to the
freight building on the corner of Main
nnd Third streets.
For nearly a score of years Mr.
Miller hns been a buffer between the
compnny and the public. He bus
shouldered all of the clerical errors
that have crept in with the utmost
tact and good nature, and when di
plomacy has been necessary he was
there with the goods. His private bus
iness has grown to such an extent
during the last two years that he
has been compelled to resign and will
hereafter devote his attention to his
own affairs. His automobile business
has reached such proportions that all
of his time has to be given to It.
His building will be enlarged and ex
tended out to Sixth street to accom
modate his garage and his stock of
sporting goods and the repair depart
ment. The patrons of the electric com
pany will miss Mr. Miller when the
tenth of the month rolls around.
