SPECULATlNG IN SEATS.
It will Cost Money to See the corona-'
ton Procession.

London. April 2S.-Permanent resi-
dents of London are suffering from the
efforts being made by the city for the
coronation. There is scarcely street
through which the procession will pass,
but has not been torn up.
The newspapers, both here and in
America, are full of Measurements
concerning the cost of seats to view
the coronation professions and as to
what the hotels will charge visitors.
Spectators and those having seats to
sell are giving the impression that
there Is n tremendous demand on the
part of rich Americans and other for
eigncrs. who are said to be paying any
price asked in order to see the show.
Ridiculous statements as to the prices
paid .fOr certain windows or seats in
Picchdilly or elsewhere have been con-
stantly published. Seats in the best
positions in Piccadilly the most
sought-after positions. could yesterday
be had for from eighty to twenty gui,
meas, according to the row. This was
for the first days procession. For the
second day the prices asked were from
three to seven gulneas. In Pail Mall.
where the buildings are mostly clubs
and very few windows are to let, the
prices are slightly higher. For the sec
ond days procession along the Strand.
seats cost four to seven guineas. At
ST. Paul four huge stands will be erect
ed and the prices are from three to sew
en- guineas. On the south side of the
river the best seats cost five to seven
guineas.
The hotel question. however, is less
encouraging for the intending visitors.
The managers of the Cecil, Carlton. Sa-
voy and Berkeley, all said yesterday
that they did not have a single room
vacant for coronation week.

TO SAVE LAND FROM FLOODS
Join Wilson Has Scheme 81
Draining Rockford Town
chin

John A Wilson, a wealthy property
owner of Rockford township, has
evolved scheme which he thinks Will
save the 10000 acres of Pottawatamle
land from overflow from the Boyer
river. HIS plan Is to tap the Boyer
river about mile west and south OF
Cradle, in Rockford township, using a
series of natural slough as a ditch.
The connecting links between the
Boyer and the slou0hs could be made
with ditch less than half mile long.
Then the lower end of the slough
could be drained directly into the Mis-
souri, by another ditch about half a
mile long.
This would make direct connec
tion between the Boyer and the Mis-
souri,, in Rockford township. The mat
ter will pc taken up by the board of
at their next meeting
Nonpareil.
