Mr I»— seated one afternoon In his office behind a pile of papers, was interrupted suddenly by a young diplomat representing one of the great powers of Europe, who declared his business to be most urgent, lie re lated that a wallet containing docu menta of great value hud been stolen. He had left it for a few moments on his writing table to go to another iron, in the legation, and when he returned It was gone. Furthermore, there were jewels in the wallet. Ills personal prop erty, but their abstraction did not dis turb the young foreigner half us much as the loss of the papers. “I must leave Prague by the night train,” he explained to the Inspector, “and I will be ruined for life if these documents cannot be recovered.” Mr I>----- drove to the legation and looked over the wnllet substituted for that of the diplomat. It contained a Prague newspaper from which a clipping had been made. The ln«i<ec- tor secured an intact copy of this paper, and was thus able to read the dipping cut out by the thief. Also Mr. D----- found traces of face powder between the leaves of the wal let. The clipping announced that there was to be a masked bull that evening at a well-known hall in the city. With this as his main clue the inspector as sured the diplomat that he would re store the papers, and. after assigning a detective to watch the palace, he hurried away to don a fancy costume.

As a result of the coming of the new high way, there is considerable activity in that country in the matter of the sale of farm lands.* Many people from the outside are coming in and buying homes, in anticipation of a good road through the country. The Salmon river section is a fine stock country, and is exceptionally good for dairy ing. Now that dairymen can get out their milk and other products dairying will take on a new lease of life, and the whole country will begin to res pond to the impulse of good roads. Tillamook business men should make a caravan visit to the new trade territory just as soon as the new highway connection with this city will permit and cultivate friendly trade relations with the people of the Sal mon river valley and near by settle ments adjacent to the new road.

Europe also has large crops and is getting back to her old time producion. Crops of wheat in Argentine and the South American countries will be more than average this year, so that with the ruinous exchange rates on European money and the scarify of money in many European countries our export trade- in whaet will be light. It is figured in a conservative way that the north west alone will produce one hundred million bushels of wheat. I look for wheat to go as low as 80 to 90 cents per bushel la-fore the season is over.
