FOREIGNERS ARE CAUTIOUS
Charters Taken for August Are
Wved on Hope That Early Move- "
ment Will Ptit Market
Down to Export Basis. v
CHICAGO, July 6. (Special.) Actual
merchandising problems are now before
the wheat trade. The new crop Is be
ginning" to move In commercial volume
although there was a movement from
the old orop In excess of trade require
ments when the new crop started.
There Is still a chance for a fair aver
age crop in the Northwest despite the
fact that the early promise has been
much impaired. Nevertheless, the trade
will be at sea until the crop Is safely
harvested, so faulty was the condition
under which It was seeded and so seri
ous the losses in some important areas
since.
Early Demand Is Slow.
There is Indication now that the mer
chandising demand for wheat In the
near future will be rather slow. Millers
may take the first marketings of new
soft Winter- wh-at. in their immediate
localities lor a time if the price Is mod-
rate but there being no indication of an
immediate scramble for supplies for fu
ture needs. Foreign buyers appear to be
irolng rather slowly also. There being a
large quantity of old wheat at hind
Ltbroad to say nothing of the new crop
marketing some will soon be available
Export bids from abroad are out of
ine and not numerous, but seaboard ex
porters have chartered a lot of ocean
freight for August shipment on the
theory that the movement from first
l ands will be heavy enough to put the
market down to export level. .
Worlda Consumption Larger.
i Insofar as the trade's Informations
khe world Is now consuming wheat on a
keale about 25 per cent larger than that
t 15 or 2ft years ago.
. Timely rains where mnst needed made
ri slightly easier market last week for
orn. Crop reports were almost uni
ormly good, the hot weather having
brought the crop about up to date In a
arge part of the belt. A large share of
has already been laid by.

WEDDING NOT SET
U. S. Grant Astonished by Pre
mature Report.
BRIDE-TO-BE IS HAPPY
Iowa Widow Says Friends Have
Congratulated Both of Them on
Being Able to Follow Where
Their Hearts Lead Them.
SAN DIEGO. July 6. (Special.)
Friends of U. S. Grant, son of the fa
mous General and President, and his
fiance, Mrs. A. B. Will, tho beautiful
Iowa widow whom Mr. Grant will mar
ry this month, were astonished today
by the report that the marriage had
already been performed by Judge Pu-
terbaugh, a warm personal friend of
the bridegroom-to-be. Telephone mes
sages to the Grant Hotel, where Mr.
Grant lives, poured in so fast that the
financier, whose fortune is estimated at
several million dollars, was unable to
answer them.
He finally succeeded In convincing all
concerned, however, that the wedding
had not been performed yet, but held
to his decision not to give out the ex
act date until Just before the ceremony.
"It is funny that the newspapers all
over the country take such a lively in
terest in our wedding," said Mrs. Will
tonight. "I can't see why, just because
Mr. Grant Is prominent, we should not
be allowed to get married like any
other people.
"No, I cannot tell you what our plans
are, beyond saying that we shall prob
ably make a tour of the world immedi
ately after the ceremony. We may start
from Vancouver, after a trip up the
Coast, stopping at San Francisco, Port
land and Seattle and start across the
ocean from Vancouver.
"I have received a lot of letters from
friends of Mr. Grant congratulating us
both on our- being able to ignore the
difference in our ages and the cer
tainty of 'talk' and follow the lead of
our hearts.- I am perfectly happy and
feel sure that Mr. Grant is also."

HOOD RIVER CHERRIES GOOD
Large Crop Being Harvested and
Little Is Damaged.
HOOD RIVER, Or., July 6. (Special.)
The cherry crop of the Hood River
Valley was never better, according to
growers who are now in the midst of
their harvest. A week ago it was
thought the crop would be ruined by
rain. However, only the p.ie fruit suf
fered and J. R. Nunamaker, who has
four acres in the Belmont district, will
harvest more than 60 tons. !
One of the most prolific cherry trees
here Is that owned by W. L. Smith, who
cut from a branch a section 21 inches
long on which were two pounds and
10 ounces of fruit. . The tree has not
yet reached full size, but It will bear
more than 150 pounds.
A new method of packing cherries
has been adopted' here. Formerly the
fancy fruit has been packed In 10-pound
boxes. Chicago merchants, who are
purchasers of this year's crop and are
selling it to the fancy trade, are put
ting the fruit in strawberry boxes
which are packed 24 to each crate, in
order to supply the demand for smaller
packages.

Klamath Farmers Get More Time to
Settle Irrigation Bills.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., July .
(Special.) The public notice issued by
the Secretary of the Interior regarding
charges on the various projects under
Government Irrigation, has been re
celved here and It Is found that the
first dispatches gave a wrong Impres
sion. It was thought that the build
ing charges for the year 1912, which
were delinquent May 1, 1913, had been
reduced from $3 per acre to $1, but the
full text of the notice shows that the
reduction applies to the building
charges for 1913. which will not be
delinquent until May 1, 1914.
The notice gives the Klamath projec
two material benefits. The charges for
operation and maintenance of the
canals are usually called for before
water Is furnished for the season, bu
this year that rule was not enforced
and farmers will have until July 21 to
make this payment. It also defers the
time for delinquency of the 1912 build
ing charges from May 1 to December
1, 1913.

Territory Is Announced.
BOISE, Idaho, July 6. (Special.)
Work Is to commence within 15 days

L. O. Leonard, president of the J40,-
000,000 corporation. He says that
within 10 days contracts will be let

road east and west out of Boise.
The Butte-Boise-Wlnnemucca has a
right of way south and west out of
Boise-to Winnemucca, Nev., and north
and east to Butte, Mont., crossing four
divides to reach the Montana metrop
olis. President Leonard also announced
that D. O. Stevenson has been ap
pointed division engineer. The eastern
grade Is expected to follow the Boise
River canyon east out to More creek
at Its Junction with the Boise River,
and turn up tire canyon of that creek.
following It to Grimes creek, and then
continue on north towards the divide.
The western grade Is to leave Boise
straight west down the Boise Valley
toward Caldwell.

that the money for the construction
of the road is ready for use, and there
will be no delay from this source. The
local men named as directors and offi

Interests back of the project, but de
clare they have complete assurance
that the railroad will be built.

a surprise in local railroad circles.

army authorities who recently got pos.
session of Germany's -airship secrets,
when the Zeppelin dirigible landed at
Lunevllle, have succeeded In getting
plans devised by the Krupps for a gun
to be used against the aeroplane. While
it is not admitted directly by the
French Minister of War or by the
police, It Is clear from a story given
out here that the French authorities
know all the details of the newest
aeroplane gun and undoubtedly will
proceed to manufacture one them
selves or improve on it.
The fact became public yesterday
when .the police here told of a German
named Rudowky who applied at the
police station for aid In finding friends
here and also for food. The man car
ried a satchel and finally through an
interpreter he admitted he had walked
all the way from Germany, carrying
with him the drawings of the gun. He
said he had worked as a draughtsman
in the Krupp gun works.
He had a companion, he said, who
had made 52000 by selling the secrets
of the Krupp works and he thought ie
might make money himself by selling
secrets to the French government. He
said he could not gain admission to the
French Minister of War. but the im
pression here Is that the Krupp secret
Is held by the government.

AMBASSADOR'S CRITICISM OP
SOUTHERNERS RESENTED.
Magazine Editor Says Xovel Shows
Its Author to Be Unfitted
for Post He Holds.
NEW YORK, July 6. (Special.)
Aroused over statements that Walter
H. Page, ambassador to the Court of
St. James, made in his book, "The
Southerners," In which It Is declared
he derided southerners through a false
portrayal, the editors of Neale's Mag
azine in their July issue question Mr.
Page's ability to represent the Amer
ican people. . Sharp criticism of the
ambassador, who . is a native of the
South, is the first offering In the pub
lication and is entitled "Ambassador
Page No Southerner."
The novel, "The Southerner." first
appeared as a serial in Atlantic Month,
ly. and was written by Page under the
pseudonym of "Nicholas Worth." Be
side a review of the book there is edi
torial comment in Neale's Magazine
questioning Mr. Page's Americanism,
one paragraph of which reads:
"But Ambassador Page seems to hold
the American section in which he was
born and reared a section that com
prises about one-fourth the area, and
nearly one-fourth of the population of
the United States to be un-American
because sectional. We are all Amer
icans unless Mr. Page be an exception
and worthier Americans because of
our affection, for the ward, borough,
city, county and state in which we
live."
