Minneapolis miller, told a reporter

short and flour would advance in
price to a very high figure. In re
gard to the flour trust he said it was
"busted" before it was formed.
TnE movement in the Minnesota
legislature to appropriate 8100,000

farmers this spring gives n glimpse of
suffering in that state. There i3 rea
son to believe that the situation is
much worse in some parts of Dakota.

000,000 to protect its harbor, Now
York 823,000,000 and other cities smal

The financial statement of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St Paul railway
company for 1888, filed with the "Wis
consin commissioners at Madison, is

A writer in Harpei ' Weekly, de
scribing our navy, says that besides
the wooden ships, there are now afloat
building, or authorized, thirty-one of
steel or iron. Four of them, the
Roach cruisers, are in commission,
"fast, well-armed and efficient" Two
more can bo put into active service on
very short notice, the Yorktown and
Vesuvius.. Three which will soon
follow, the Charleston, Baltimore
and Newark, "ought to be unsur
passed by any otjjer ships in the
world," and two of which will also be
ready within ajtwelvemonth. Lieuten
ant Kelly says that "the Philadelphia
resembles the Baltimore, the San
Francisco the Charleston, though
both the latter ships have their bat
teries better disposed and are guaran
teed under penalty to make nineteen
knots." As to atmorplates and guns,
wo now have establishments for pro
ducing them "which within a year
will make us independent of the
world."
Before the Land Commissioner).
Salem, March 5. The board of
state land commissioners, composed
cf the governor, secretary of state
and treasurer, met to-day in regular
session. The principal business was
the consideration of the application
of Judge Aaron E. Wait, of Portland,
and Col. Adair, of Astoria, for tho
completion of their purchases of
swamp lands.
Judge Wait holds a certificate of
purchase to 626 acres on tho Colum
bia river, in Clatsop county, under
the laws of 1870, which did not limit
the amount of individual purchase.
Under that law the buyer paid 20 per
cent down and was given ten years
to pay the remainder. He allowed
the time to elapse and then the law
of 1887 was enacted, which revived
the right of such certificate holders,
but limited the amount to which one
person could obtain title to 640 acres,
and compelled him to make full pay
ment on, or before January 1, 1889.
This period has also passed; and be
sides, the law provides that, after
January j, losy, no one person can
purchase more than 320 acres,
and now Mr Wait, as well as
the board, is puzzled to know
what to do. He wants the 620
acres, or none of the tract, and tho
board does not seo its way clear to
giving him the title; so the matter
has been laid over until tbe next
meeting, for the purpose of seeking
legal light on the subject.
Colonel Adair's case is almost par
allel, only his purchaso included some
4,000 acres, and he is now content to
take 320, provided the money already
paid can be applied to paying for it.
The whole thing goes over until the
next meeting.

A NEW PLAN.
Fresh Alaska Salmon Transported.
New Haven, Conn., Mar. 6. Lieu
tenant Howard, U.S. navy, of this
city, has organized a stock company
for the purpose of establishing a salm
on fishing and fur trading post in
Alaska. The business of the company
will be entirely different from that
of any other of the companies now
engaged in this trade. They intend
neither to smoke or can tho catch,
but instead by moans of a preserva
tive, will be able to transport the fish
in a perfectly fresh condition to the
market of San Francisco. By so do
ing the company expects to gain con
trol of the market for salted fish.
When the fish now reach San Fran
cisco they have lost their delicate fla
vor and bright pink color. The prob
able location of the company's estab
lishment will be on the Yukon river.
THE ALASKA BOUNDARY LINE.
Washington. Mar. fi Th nr;.
dent has sent to the house corres
pondence upon the question of the
undetermined boundary between Alas
ka and British America. The corre
spondence embraces reports of confer
ences held between Prof. W. H. Dall,
Of the United Stntpq cTPnrrrnnlimjil
surveys, and Dr. G. V. Dawson, of
oanacia, upon that subject. Dall
thinks the boundary should be deter
mined bv the wafprsTiPfl nf tlm four
great rivers of Alaska, all of tho land
uraineu Dy rivers flowing seaward to
belong to the United States, and all
the land drained by rivers flowiug
eastward to Canada. Plans of the
survey accompany the correspond
nece, with a lengthy argument from
each of the commissioners, showing
why his plan is the best.
THE ABMX SUPPORTS BOULANGER.
Paris, March 6. Five thousand

A TRUCE IN SAMOA.
London. March 6. Advices have

the destruction of German interests.
