after making a small cash payment as an evidence of good faith ;
you pay all the balance of both principal and interest bv deliv-
ering to your nearest market station one-half of the crop taised,?
which is credited at market price until the land is paid for.
This plan enabling many energetic farmersto get homes with-

forty miles .from Cheyenne, near schools and in well settled
neighborhoods. :
. Of all the people who have visited Cheyenne and the farm
ing,! region of Laramie County- this season none can excel in
enthusiasm the party of six who arrived Wednesday from Ar
cadia, Neb.. ;;:':' Ir':v. .
. Those coming in the party were Mr. and Mrs. Drew Thomp
son, Mr. and Mrs. R, A. Zike, Mr. G. C. Ramsey and Mr, J. W.
Zike. .They left the train atEgbert, taking autos there for V
Cheyenne, viewing enroute thousands of acres of grain fields.
In talking with a representative of The Leader yesterday
Mr R. A. Zike said: ",It,is hard to express my astonishment
at the 'crops I have seen. I have been in the best wheat raising
sections' of Canada and have never seen there or elsewhere any ,
'-better crops than I saw Wednesday, growing and in shock in
"the neighborhood of Egbert, Carpenter' and Burns. Yesterday
we went up into the new settlement northwest of Cheyenne and
- whitfr: about1 fifteen miles "out, we drove alongside of a 50-acre
fieM of oats and walked out into it, my brother declared that it
surely must bp . irrigated. , Land is selling in our country in
Nebraska as high as $125.00 per acre but I am sure there is not
a field of oats in that country that will excel the one I saw here
yesterday. , . , '
iMi VJ have looked into the matter of rainfall and find that the
precipitation here this season has not been above normal, while
last year was unusually dry.
I can see that the altitude
here -together with the
mountains to the southwest,
,must operate to prevent ex

't. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. -A : rat w
which might Involve all the maritime na
, tions ki Ui world and which: would ft
volve about the 8u and Panama canals
was predicted today In Washington - by
cfflclals who have watched the develop.
; ment of world interest in the Fsnama
canal bill, now awaiting approval of
" Presldtnt Teft. , - ' . ' . . ' '
According to the report that reached
the State department today, the direc
torate at the Suet canal has decided to
reduce rate throuth that canal. - ;
, In otftcial circle this notice, was re
i garded as the first retaliatory step
Sffnlnst the free tolls provlelcm tor Amer
ican ships through the Panama canal.
The announcement of the proposed reduo.
tions through Sues appeared in consplcu.
ous notices in American newspapers. The
notice, which aroused much Interest, was
to the effect that after the first of nest
year the transit dues in the Sues canal
will be reduced 50 centimes, bringing the
toll for loaded ships down to S-25 francs.
This is the precise equivalent to the $1.25
maximum tolls which the Panama canal
act prescribes for v?sses passing through
that waterway. '. ' ' ' '
Prof. Emory H. Johnson, whose exhaust-
investigation' of the financial
aspeft of the Panama canal, as a special
commissioner of ' the VYar 'department,
fqrmrd the. basis for the action of the
congressional committee In fixing the toll
rates on the canal, held that If the Pan
ama project was to be a success flnani
ctally and commercially Its tolls should be
ldwer th;n those of the Sues canal. This
as in the basis that the Panama route
-ou'd rei-iira at least a minor share ef
the shipping moving between Europe and
u i-uuuic coast ports of Asia.- .
Even lower tolls at Panama, he- held,
would not draw ; away . iiora the , Sues
canal a large part of the oriental trade,
because of traffic opportunities, the prices
of coal and other supplies which have a
determining; effect on the selection of
routes. ' . '

Countervailing Duty
On German Products
Ordered by America
WASHINGTON, Aug. .23.-A counter
vailing duty on Importation of wheat and
rye flour and split peas from: Germany
was ordered by Secretary MacVeagh to
day because those commodities enjoy a
bounty from the German government.
This decisive step was necessary, offi
cials declared, to protect the American
split pea industry; whien, it was added,
is being destroyed by German competi
tion, growii t formidable proportions by
reason of the bounty, . . '
While the move Is fraught with gravo
possibilities of retaliation and a conse
quent tariff war between the - United
States1 and the German empire, officials
of the Treasury department were Inclined
to take the hopeful view that Germany
would repeal the bounty,' as It Is not
thought to be popular in that country.
This action Is taken under the Payne
tariff law providing a countervalllnK
duty equal to the bounty granted by a
foreign country on any exportation.
