THE PARK QUESTION.
Something About the Martins Hill
Project

At a meeting of the American Labor
Union a full explanation of the views
and purposes of the park commission,
with respect to the $780, 900 of bonds
which are asked to be voted, was made
by Mr. Wilder
There seems to have been some mis-
apprehension on the subject, the be-
lief of some being that the purchase
of Martins hill would absorb so large
a portion of the bonds as to leave an
insufficient amount for proper develop
ment Of the City park and other tracts
within the city limits.
'fThe fact is, however" said Mr..
Wilder that options were obtained
some time ago upon the four hundred
acres at Martins hill for $1,000 very
reasonable price. and far below what
other cities in the west have been COM
PEELED to pay for very inferior prop
erty.
This, with the purchase of the tract
between Thirteenth and Sixteenth
streets-and some other small areas in
the city-will not absorb more than
Cne-half of the amount of the bonds,
leaving ample funds for immediate and
effective development of the City park,
which is conceded by all the commits
sion to be the place where the largest
sum Will be spent, and where every
effort viii be made to bring the park
at the earliest possible date into con-
dition for daily enjoyment by the large
number of people to whom it will be
easily accessible"
The remarks by all Of those present
were extremely encouraging, and even
those who had hesitated as to the bond
proposition, when they found that
Martins hill could be secured without
detriment to the parks inside the city
limits, were enthusiastic as to the Sc
curing Of the Martins hill property now
for the future

blocks of ice are packed above the city

At Belleville the ice Is piled up in the

threatened. The dixie broke and let a

WHY OMITTED?
City No Longer Publishes Its
Quarterly Statements.

Why is it that the city of Topeka no
longer publishes the brief, concisive,
quarterly statements. as required by
law, giving its financial condition every
three months? Such a statement has
not been noticed for nearly a year. 1t
is respectfully called to Mayor Drew
attention
Many readers are also complaining to
the State Journal that the city no longer
prints the official proceedings of the
council meetings. The reporters for
Gil meetings and report fully what they
course they omit many items of q
important to the city and to certain
individuals, but are not important in
a general news report.
There is no safety like publicity and
a printed record of the council proceed
ings, attested by the city clerk, as an
official, may some day save the city
much money and much litigation.
Many people are of the opinion that
had the city printed its official proceed
ings some years ago at the time of the
contraction of the sewers that the ex-

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago. Ill, March 24.-wHEAT-The
wheat market during the first hours of
trading today was rather dull. but firm.
May opened sc over yesterday, 657s666c,
helped by higher cables and the corn
strength. Trade was active for a time,
but quieted later and the tone became
heavy. May sagging to 65szc. Export bids
were reported under yesterday, which
was the main influence, although the good
weather was also consideration. Sales
of 100 900 bushels No. 1 northern was
made for export late yesterday. Local
receipts were So cars, of contract grade.
Minneapolis. and Duluth reported 535 cars
against 5l4 last week and 454 a year ago.
The remainder of the session was quiet,
and although the market held firm for
some time under the influence of 10000
bushels cash business, near the end the
price yielded a bit more May closed a
shade over yesterday at 655sc. with feel

Chicago, March 4.-WHEAT-values
have slowly settled back of late and on
the decline the market has been poorly
supported. The holder of the bulls got
have not been inclined to add to their
lines. Heavy Argentine shipments doubt
less put forward with ali speed TO escape
possible quarantine restrictions. favorable
conditions generally for our winter wheat
and light cash trade all unite to-destroy
cSnndence OF the bulls and increase that
of the bears. The price is a low one and
the trade ignores the French damage
which warm weather will undoubtedly de-
velop more and more. They also over
look the condition in India, where from
the present outlook, they will not be able
to feed themselves. They pay no atten-
ton to estimates coming from the Ar
gentne that this years crop will be %
to 30 per cent less than of year ago.
All this is probably dlfe to the fact that
bull news is not desired by the trade and
today than for a long time. 1t is a very
unpopular thing to advise at present. but
would rather buy wheat than sell it
CORN-The big bulge in corn after
much maneuvering have finally started
to advance the price There is nothing
new in the actual situation of corn but
farm work demanding the farmers at
tention, there is not going to be any in
crease in the movement of corn from first
hands. Shorts got pretty well cleaned up
on the first bulge to over 3Sc and since
then a new set of bulls have come into
the market and taken the long stuff that
has been sold. The market seems not
disposed to develop buoyancy and gath
ers support as it advances.
OATS-Sympathetical strong with
corn. There is a large shortage in this
grain We are now going into the period
of good demand and at prices that look
reasonably low compared to other feed
ing grains.
PROFESSIONALS in a strong statis-
teal, theoretical and speculative position.
Stocks of meat are at a low point; hogs
are not arriving in sufficient numbers to
permit of stocks of meat Increasing.
There is a good shortage still outstanding
in all products. The market is headed
higher and there is more prospect of big
money to be made out of the provision
market than any other on the floor.
