opposition to any encroachment of
British authority on their right to
govern themselves under the British
crown.
Thus the city that Is today attracting
the attention of the world through Its
connection with the Jamestown expo
sition to be held on the shores of
Hampton Roads, a few miles awny,
was the first locality In this hemis
phere to assert the right of self-government.
The resolutions drawn up by this
assembly declared that there should
bo no taxation without representation,
but expressly affirmed their wish to
bo. subjects to the Kngllsh rule.
That eastern railroads are highly
prosperous and desire to ward off
government ownership of railroads, Is
hown by the reduction of passenger
fares on three prominent systems In
hte east the Pennsylvania. Erie and
Lackawanna & Western.
Tassenger fares will be reduced
from 3 to 21- cents on these lines, and
others are expected to follow with
cuts In fare. It was said that the rail
way rate bill passed by the recent
session of congress would have a ten
dency to raise rates. In order that the
roads might "get even" for some of
the restrictions Imposed. The oppo
site is true, as is shown by the action
of the roads reducing passenger fares
on three of the greatest systems of
ilia &aat
The following dispatch from New
Tork gives the details of the reduc
tions:
Following the recent reduction of
maximum passenger rates by the
Pennsylvania railroad, similar an
nouncements were made t day by two
other eastern lines the Erie and the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western.
The Er'e issued a notice, that, be
ginning November 1. the maximum
one-way local fares will be 2 cents
per mile over the entire system Instead

"v NEW VARIETY OK WHEAT.
Ide.ho Man Find Lone Head of Grain
Which Yield? 200 Fold.
A special dispatch from Juliaetta
Idaho, to the Spokane Review, says:
A. Adams, of this place, has rented 40
acres of land on the prairie above
.lnlixetta to exDeriment with a new
vaMcty of wheat. If future yields
'prove as prolific as tests already
made, and the character of the grain
Is suitable for milling purposes. Mr.
Adams says he will revolutionize
wheat growing In this section.
In the fall of 1S04, while traveling
through British Columbia. Mr. Adams
found a head of wheat growing wild,
which he brought home with him. It
contained 123 grains. L'nlike other
wheat, the stalk consisted of five
heads. Branching off from the main
head were four smaller ones, the five
forming a cluster of heads.
The 123 grains produced seven
pounds of clean wheat. Last fall Mr.
Adams planted half of this seven
pounds, and the other half this spring.
When he threshed the wheat this fall
he reaped about 1600 pounds, or 2i
bushels.
The yield was an Increase of a littlo
more than 200 fo 1. Another feature
was the f;jct that there was no dif
ference between the yield of the fall
and spring planting, which is. not usu
al with ordinary wheat raised in this
erti"n winter sown wheat prod'jein
more pio!:f icaily.
This fa'.! Mr. Adsnns will plant 11
busin-ls of this British Columbia wheat
on 20 acres of land and the remain
ing 11 bushels n the olher 20 acres
In the sprint-. The average seed fori
an acr" is a bushel and a peek but'
