CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
PLENTY OF BREAD
Last week the supply of wheat
in sight, in elevators at impor
tant grain shipping and milling
points, in North America and
Europe and afloat for Europe,
according to the Cleveland Lead
er, an acknowledged authority on
this subject, increased more than
8,000,000 bushels. The new crop
is coming into market freely in
this country, and it is beginning
to move rapidly in Europe also.
The world's visible supply is
growing fast, and it becomes
clearer every day that there will
be plenty of bread for the next
year or more, notwithstanding
the short crop in some parts of
the Northwest.
The world's wheat yield has
fallen short of the total for 1909
by perhaps six per cent., but the
supplies carried over into the new
crop year were so larg3 this stam
mer, according to the best au
thorities, that any real scarcity
is impossible. The bread supply
for the next twelvemonths is as
sured, and conditions in the grain
trade are such that there is no
good
reason
for looking for ex
tremely high prices.
The demand for wheat and
flour will be sufficient, no doubt,
to insure a profitable market for
breadstuffs in the United States
and other grain exporting coun
tries, but everything indicates
moderate prices and a fair balance
between the producer and the
consumer.
In talking to the farmers Colo
nel Rooseyelt tells them that the
farmer's wife is as much to be
considered as the farmer himself,
and that farm life can be of no
real value to the life of the na
tion with the farmer's wife noth
ing but a drudge. It is to be
hoped such talk as this will have
some influence on insanity statis
tics, which show the largest class
to be recruited from the ranks of
farmers' wives.
AIRMAN AND BIRD
Aviation is progressing with
bewildering rapidity in ese
days, and the achievements of
the past fortnight have been of
such a character as to set at rest
all doubt of the broad usefulness
of the aeroplane, and its ultimate
and complete mastery of the air
ocean above us, says the Scien
tific American. The most im
portant event was the bold cross
country race in France, in which
a total distance of 485 miles was
covered in six stages at an aver
age speed of 40 miles per hour.
The significance of the perform
ance of the winners lies in the
fact that they started on each
day's successive stage of the
journey quite regardless of the
weather conditions, and made
each destination successfully, al
though on one occasion they were
battling with a heavy wind-storm
in a deluge of rain.
It was inevitable that when
aeroplane flight had been devel
oped to a certain point of speed
and safety, comparison should be
made between the flying machine
and the bird, and the opportuni
ty presented for such a compari
son in the recent French contest
was utilized by releasing a flock
of carrier pigeons at the same in
stant that the competitors start
ed on the 48£-mile leg of the
course from Douai to Amiens.
The carrier pigeon is one of the
swiftest of birds yet the winner
reached Amiens over six minutes
ahead of the first pigeon. The
carrier pigeon, it is true, is cred
ited with being able to do 60
miles an hour, more or less and
of course, the homeward flight of
these birds was not done at maxi
mum speed. Neither, indeed
was the flight of the airman, yet
the result emphasizes in the most
dramatic way the wonderful ad
vance in speed that has been
made in the art of human flight.
At the last Rheims meet, a Bler
iot monoplane averaged in one
race nearly 70 miles an hour, and
the time is near when the airman
will be able to make the boast
that not even the wild goose, the
wild swan, or any of the swiftest
of nature's birds, could give hin
their aerial dust in a straight
away flight.
Those of us who believe that
touring by aeroplane is anothei
possibility of the near future will
find abundant confirmation of
their faith in the recent daring
flight of a young American from
Paris to London with a passenger
aboard. The lesson of that ad
venture is that with a perfected
motor and the provision of fre
quent and clearly marked landing
places, touring by aeroplane will
be a thoroughly feasible sport.
Firearms as playthings are not
entirely justified of wisdom, as
proved last week in the case of a
12-year-old Buffalo boy who re
ceived a gift of a rifle from his
father and a few minutes later
shot and killed his mother. Of
course, it was an accident, and
everybody concerned is very sor
ry, but the moral is that, given
every possible opportunity and
invitation, accidents will continue
to happen.
Under new rule in Nicaragua
the government will make repar
ation for the killing of Cannon
and Groce to the United States.
The chief trouble about such in
cidents is that when it gets as
far as killing, reparation is of
little use to the victims. It is
better to inspire the wholesome
awe which the prompt methods
of Great Britain has instilled
about harming her subjects.
Colonel Roosevelt a n nounces
for the benefit of the recalcitrants
in the Republican party in New
York state that he is ready for
a fight, but perhaps "spoilinh"
would better replace the mild
term used, for the doughty rough
rider and modern nimrod is a
born fighter, with no inclination
to struggle against manifest des
tiny.
A bank in Spokane is issuing
antiseptic money. Still, while
sanitary banknotes may fit in
better than the others with the
progressive ideas of the age, as
far as others are concerned, with
all their germs, we love them
still.
Chicago multimillionaires are
now required by the tax board to
appear in person to make expla
nation about their taxes, just
like other taxpayers. The poor
millioniare today is indeed hav
ing his troubles.
The Providence Journal, in
making mention of the late pri
mary election in the state of Ne
braska, remarks that Mr. Bryan's
enemies in that state seem to be
in about the proportion of 16 to 1.
A man in New York killed him
self last week Friday so that his
wife could marry a better man.
While she is about it, it is to be
hoped that she will also take care
to secure a wiser one.
It is announced that the Crown
Prince of Germany will not visit
this country on his coming world
tour. We feel sorry for the
Crown Prince. It will be his loss.
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy is today the best
known medicine in use for the relief
and cure of bowel complaints. It cures
griping, diarrhoea, dysentery, and
should be taken at the first unnatural
looseness of the bowels. It is equally
valuable fbr children ahd adults. It al
ways cures. Sold by all dealers.
A Close Call.
On Monday morning last while
the storm was raging the resi
dence of Register of Deeds Geo.
Hanson at Flaxton was struck by
lightning and the upper story of
the building badly wrecked. Mr.
and Mrs. Hanson, who had been
sleeping up stairs in the building,
had just arisen and came down
stairs when the building was
struck, so that if they had been
a few seconds later in getting up
they too would have been in the
wreck and both would have been
seriously injured, if not killed
outright.
Additional Locals
Pleasant rooms, furnished, to
let. Inquire of Mrs. F. M. Dille.
The First National Bank will
buy all Burke county warrants at
a discount of five per cent. 7tf
Ed. Drinkwater while driving
over the country roads to the
southwest of the city on Monday
picked up a pair of eye-glasses,
encased in a flat leather case,
which he left at The Tribune of
fice to await call of the owner.
The glasses were picked up on
the road in the vicinity of the
Andrew Christianson place.
Lost—Gold link cuff button
with three small pearls. Finder
please return to Rev. Reid and
receive reward.
C. H. Pattison, formerly of this
place, but for some months past
running an engine in a coal mine
in the vicinity of Estevan, Sask.,
came down from Canada on Sat
urday last and has taken the job
of running the Collins & Stewart
threshing engine, which same he
has done successfully for several
seasons past.
The Board of County Commis
sioners have awarded John Con
way the job of bridge-tender at
the bridge spanning the lake six
miles east of the city, and John
has already assumed his duties.
A better man for the job could
not have been found, and The
Tribune congratulates the com
missioners in this very important
matter. John will prove himself
to be the right man in the right
place.
The First National Bank will
buy all Burke county warrants at
a discount of five per cent. 7tf
John McCann, who was in from
his farm west of the city on Tues
day, informed us that Perry Kist
ler was, up to that date, the only
neighbor of his who had thresh
ed his 1910 wheat crop and that
the same turned out but four
bushels to the acre, from which
John concluded that his own crop,
from which he had been looking
for at least 2,000 bushels, would
scarcely yield him one-half of
that number of bushels. He said
that everyone out that way were
booked to be terribly disappoint
ed in the yields of their grain.
The Tribune enjoyed a drive
through the country to the north
and east of the city last Sunday
afternoon and along the route
taken we were pleased to note
that there were several very nice
grain fields, where the crop had
been cut and the shocks, especial
ly wheat, were quite thick on the
ground, but for one such field,
and we are sorry to have to ad
mit it, we saw several that were
a y w o e u i n a n
which will return to the farmer
little, if anything, more than his
seed. We saw several fine fields
of corn, however, among these
being a field of 25 acres on Jack
Emerson's farm, and the sight
of this made us feel, more than
ever before, our justification in
advising thro' the columns of The
Tribune for several years past,
in season and out, that farmers
give more attention to food-stuffs
and stock and to a greater extent
cut out the wheat. This is no
wheat country, and the quicker
our farmers take a tumble to this
fact and turn their endeavors to
other branches o agriculture,
the better they will be off.

If Harold Johnson, who has a
homestead near Palermo and is
at present said to be working for
a Danish farmer a few miles west
of the city of Bowbells, will call
at the office of The Tribune he
will learn something to his ad
vantage. We have an inquiry
for him from a friend at Palermo.

A Queer Accident.
One of the leading ladies in town was walking down street
last week and met with a most peculiar accident. Very fortun
ately it was not serious and the Inst reports are that she is well
and happy.
She was hurrying on her way to one of the stores when for a
moment, her attention was drawn from the sidewalk to a friend
across the way. She did not notice the coal hole in the side
walk, through which one of the merchants had been filling his
cellar with fuel, and suddenly fell into the hole. Several men
were standing near and came at once to her rescue.
However, it was found that she was not badly hurt for she had
fallen on SOFT COAL. She wasn't even scratched for the coal
had no slate or rock in it. As it was not dirty she knew at once
it must be Zenith—the best soft coal on the market today.
She said afterwards that she didn't care what the old man
said, nothing but Zenith coal would do for her hereafter. You
can't get Zenith coal of any other dealer in town. Roger Lum
