THE DOUMA DISSOLVED.
HE DISSOLUTION oY the
douma by the czar can tcaree
: ly iail to precipitate or7 hasten

,' crises, and he and his bureaucratic
j ,; advisers no doubt desire that it
' , should -have 1 thie -effect, believing
themselves better, able , to resist re
; ' formatory movements and revolution-
ary outbreaks now than they would
be later, after further contention with
. the elective branch of the parliament,
calculate8 to add to the people's dis
' satisfaction : with the , government.
"""The demand for a douma wit yielded

was not intended that it should ex

cracy as it has done,, and the' dis
solution is notice that anothef nt-i

months hence, must understand its
impotency and act accordingly. , Per-;
'' haps, also, : the government has an
idea of (O influencing the elections
next time that the assembly will be
less troublesome. But , the czar is
; likely to discover, if another election
ever transpires under his reign, 'that

period of practical anarchy teem in

Mr. Leroy-BeaulietCthe Jlnoted

tion as one of revolution already in

FARMERS AND GRAIN BAGS.
HE FARMERS of Oregon have
been aroused as never before
to a consideration of the grain
bag . question.. 1 Neve before were
sacks so high, and the farmers are
not only trying to find out why this
is to and distributing blame in various
directions, but are planning so to
handle their grain in future that tbey
will be. in a measure independent of
warehouse men and comparatively in
different to a grain bag famine. .',-. ..
A Chicago; gram traffic organ esti
mates that 45,000,000 sacks will be
needed for the grain of the Pacific
coast, while only about 1 38,000,000
sacks are to be obtained in this terri
tory, and these, at the present price,
will cost $3,800,000 or more.5
Some' farmers are agitating for an
enlarged and. complete grain elevator
system similar to,, that of the Missis
sippi valley, but, the Chicago paper
points out some reasons why this is
not feasible vessels' not prepared to
carry wheat in bulk, danger of heating-in
transit, etc. Still it thinks
farmers might profitably erect many
elevator! and warehouses, so' as to be
in a measure independent of other
warehouse men and any possible
grain sack combine. ' : ' ' v
Many farmers are. also considering
the' question of "curing" their grain
in stack before threshing and storing
it in bulk in home granaries until they
get ready to sell. This would not be
practicable as to the "curing"'; or
sweating process, on large farms
where "combines' are usedTuT
would ""be a good practice. o-farms
harvested with headers or self bind
ers. But even this would not be prof
TtableTmtesnhe-farmera hadhe ad:
vantage of good roads on which to
haul, their grain . to market in the
winter time, if "it were desirable to
do-so
There appears to be no evidence
that the farmers are being "jobbed"
particularly this season in the matter
of sacks. The crop of raw material
from .which the sacks are made was
short; the grain crop of this country
is unusually large, and a great num
ber of sackt were destroyed in the
SaiiJrancisco fire.Hence the supply
fell much below the demand,with the
natural - and inevitable , consequence
that the price rose to an unprecedent
ed figure.
The farmers do well, however, to
prepare to beTsorrrndependentref
house men and taek merchants
if they can. At present prices sacks
certainly, take too great a toll out of
the farmers' wheat, and there it no
consolation in the reflection that on
account of the extreme heat not near
ly to many tackt .will be required in
the inland empire as was anticipated.
At the good old age of 90, "full of
years," Russell Sage, one of the coun
try's richest men, died suddenly and
without much preliminary suffering.
From his point of view he had lived
an exceedingly successful life.! His
sole ambition and occupation were to
make money, and jn doing so he prob
ably lived a happier life than most
men. He did little good in the world,
and nobody mourns for him. He took
none f his great fortune with him.
