Sophomore Glass Organizes.

The sophomore class met yesterday
at ) o'clock and effected an organiza-
ton for the year. The principal matter
for consideration was proposition
from the freshman class to have the
class scrap for this year carried on by
two or three appointed representatives
of each class instead of settling the
question of class supremacy by means
of flag flying and cap defending, etc.
The sophies gravely considered the
matter and finally decided that the
proposition could not be considered. for
the reason that they could not know
that such a class as the freshman eX-
listed until they had made themselves
known in some customary way. the
following class officers were elected:
President, Carl Helm: vice president,
Josephine JAMESON: secretary. Lillian
Merrell: treasurer, Rollin Dodd.

TEXAS TO NEW YORK
Pipe Line Of That Length Will Be
Built BY Standard Oil company-k
Cheaper Than BY RaiI-Millions In
volved

Chicago, April 21.-As means of
| evading the anti-febate law and of be-
coming further independent of the rail-
! rose the Standard OH Company has
planned to lay a pipe line from Texas
| to New York, with branch lines radiat-
ing to the various oil fields. In this
way the entire crude oil production of
the United States is to be handled. As
an adjunct 10 this enterprise, refineries
will be erected at convenient intervals.
and fleet of oil steamers Is to be
operated between Chicago and the cas-
tern ports of the great lakes.
BY thus uniting all the oil districts
OF the country, tie Standard Oil Conn
pany will be enabled to feed any refin-
cry at will and TO develop new fields.
Chi;:ago's oil depot, Whiting. Ind, will
be made the radiating point of the
transportation system. From this
point pipe lines wiz extend to all ports
on the lakes. Thru the possession of
the worlds largest refinery the con-
templated extension wial make Whit
ing OF much greater Importance than 1t
now is The plant already there will
be enlarged, and other plants made
subsidiary TO 1t.
Attic an outlay OF many millions is
necessary for this enterprise. II Is ex-
pected THAT the results Will warrant the
expense, as the new method OF trans
por,ation has been found much cheaper
than the old. The elimination OF the
oil output of the eastern states has
also rendered these improvements nee
essslry.
Six thousand miles of underground
pipes have been already laid. A large
refinery is being built In Kansas City.
the equipment for which is now at
Whiting ready fol shipment. Pipes will
be laid connecting Whiting with the
OIL wells in Indian Territory, Texas.
Ohio, and Kansas, while a network of
pipes centering at Lima, o., will con-
meet with eastern stations. From the
receiving tanks The oil is forced into
the pipes by pumps at pressure of
600 to 500 pounds. These pumping sta
tons will be located at intervals. The
cost of pumping the oil is said to be
one-t tenth that OF shipping it by rail.

RAINS BADLY NEEDED
Wheat Crop of the United
States In Somewhat
Critical Condition
ADVISED TO SOW WHEAT
ADVISED TO sow WHEAT
Northwest Need Have No Fear of
Raising Too Much of That Grain
Despite Apparent Fears-North Da-
kota Can Raise oats-Demand Will
be Good-Poor Flax Outlook.

Minneapolis. April 21.-H. V. Jones
returned this morning from a tour OF
the southwest and inspection of the
winter wheat fields. Mr. Jones finds
"a condition warranting fear for the
crop unless good rains come within a
month. The winter wheat promise Is
not high at best, there being many very
dry places in Kansas, Texas and Okla
honla, where the wheat, after appear
ing above the ground, has made little
further growth. Much of the area
stands in a position where the weather
for the next two weeks Will tell the
story.
Reviewing the situation, Mr.. Jones
says:
The wheat crop of the United
States is in more critical condition
han for several seasons. Some sec
ions of the southwest have not had
rain for ten months, notably the
Texas panhandle and western Okla
lloma. The whole wheat area of the
'JItlo NQIieS Tile SOutIWeSC Is d.
sected in some degree unfavorably.
and rains viii be necessary to bring
out good crop.
Area Likely to be Lost.
II these rains are not general by
May 10, a considerable part of the
wheat area will be lost regardless of
what conditions may obtain after
ward. Kansas had some good rains
last night, which will be very help
full. l feel that we have no right TO
discount the future too much hence
should say the chances today are that
Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma together
will this year raise as much as Kan
sas did last year, possibly 100000 10
$, 100000 bushels more.
The trouble with the wheat is that
1t lacks growth and staying quality,
due 10 the long drought. 1t has come
up we'll all over Kansas and over pars
Of Oklahoma and central Texas, but
1t has no growth, being perhaps two
inches high. While at this date, as
we express it, for average appearance,
It should be tall enough to hide a
rabbit.

TREATY FAvoRs OUR FLOUR.
New Deal Made With Brazil PIeases
American MiIiers

Minneapolis, April 21.-Benefit to
Minnea polls is likely to follow the sign
ling. Tuesday, by the president of Bra
| iii of the treaty favoring American
| flour by preferential in the import tax
equal TO 80 per cent.
The winter wheat flour mills, espec-
tally those of the Atlantic seaboard,
will derive the most direct benefits,
but northwestern spring wheat mills
will share with them in part. There
lis practically no direct trade between
Minneapolis and Brazil but the east
ern offices OF the Minneapolis mills
have a little such trade. The New
York office of the Pillsbury- Waslburn
Company sells a lire of high grade
patent flour TO Rio Janiero and Bofia.
The duty has always been a great
stumbling block. About a year ago
a treaty was arranged by which Amer
lean flour would be favored and this
has just received final signature. AS
the duty now stands all flour going
into Brazil is taxed, but from this
time on the tax on the American pro-
duct will be less by about 80 per cent
than that against flour from Compel
ing countries.
I'VE made an effort some years ago
to increase our business with Brazil
said John Washburn of the
Washburn Crosby company s'and found
the tariff something terrific. 1t would
cost, we found. 81 to s6 duty barrel
to get flour thru in some Instances.
Naturally there never was any Won
derful growth in Minneapolis Brazil
-four traffic. We do business. how
ever all over the world and with
fair show against competing flour
there Is no reason why we should not
sell much flour to Brazil"

average yield in North Dakota last
year would have produced about twice
| the number of bushels that were
! raised in that state.
Poor Outlook for Flax.
Regarding fax it is hardly necessary
to say much, because everyone has
| pretty we'll decided what he is going to
do about 1t. Still it might not be amiss
TO call attention to some facts that may
not be generally understood
The average consumption of flax seed
IN this country has been about 20,000,-
700 bushels yearly, and the crops of
1901 and 1902 produced a surplus of
about f2,000,000 bushels. over and
above exports and home consumption.
The 1908 crop was around 260oO.0o0
bushels, and there We're no exports from
DIT, so that dedurting even 100000
bushels for seed we will have a sur
plus of 100000 bushels to be added to
the 12,000.00o bushels carried forward
from previous crops. In other words
we Will have on hand in this country
on August next about 100000
bushels of old seed.
As regards the present price of seed,
s1.16 for May, it is one of manipulate
pure and simple. If our domestic prices
were free of manipulation we should,
or rather would, be obliged to seek an
export level and that would be around
so cents, as seed is selling in foreign
markets at SO cents to 9S cents. 1t is
barely possible that the one interest
that is now making the price will con-
tdnue to artificially enhance values, and
on the next crop. put the price to still
higher level. But at the present time
they are deferred from doing so, IL such
is their desire, because any higher price
would invite imports.
There can be no question that any
minals is a poor price for flax, and a
losing proposition, but there can be no
hope of getting that price before 1905,
except by artificial and manipulated
markets.
The other feature of the oats matter,
as compared with barley, is that the
latter Is crop easily damaged by I'M
favorable harvesting weather. Even
a heavy dew stain will take a few
cents off the barley price. and such
weather as we had last fall will knock
10 cents to Is cents off the price of an
entire crop.
The Commercial Record is confident
that, in advocating wheat and oats in
preference to barley or flax, it is tax
ing position that will be more than
borne out by events the coming year.
