to protest against any action by
the State Legislature in involving
the county in the extra expense of
holding law court at Obion.
Discussion led to the fact that
new buildings would be needed,
if not now, eventually, and the
county will have to furnish them.
There is no legal agreement by
which Obion will deed the county
any property and the expense Of
holding separate courts was held
by this meeting to be no small
item. The committee will mem
oralize the Legislature to desist in
any further action upon this mat

GOVT. MUST HAVE CONTROL
Special Agent Reports Water in Yakima Not
Sufficient for All Proposed Irrigation, And
Water Must Be Stored, Federal Authori-
ties Should Have Supervision of Work.

WASHINGTON. May PA. =. Davis
service, who recently made careful
studp of the irrigation situation in
eastern Washington, returned to this
city this morning had long con-
ference with Chief Engineer Newell.
MIR. Davis confirms the previously
printed req ports to the effect that the
government cannot undertake any ir-
rigation project in the Yakima valley
if the state selection of 81 900 acres in
that valley under the Carey act in the
interest of the Sunnyside Canal COM
pany be approved by the president.
He SAYS there is not sufficient water in
the Yakima river to irrigate all the
lands embodied ia the various private
irrie alton projects unless the flood
waters are stored and used. 1t is his
belief that when the Sunnyside COM
pany undertakes to irrigate the lands
which the state now seeks to acquire
it will have to deprive the same area
of land elsewhere in tina valley of water.
According to Mr.. Davis, the approx
al of the pending state selection will re-
suit in endless litigation and will bring
about any amount of confusion among
water users in the Yakima valley. The
only way, in his opinion, to avoid fric-
ton would be to allow the government
to assume supervision over all land
in the valley. and build a storage reser
voir at the head waters of the Yakima.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Opened Firm, May Closing at
$1.14 3-4-Oats Weak
,v Associated Press.

CHICAGO April 15-Notwthstand-
ing a sharp decline at Liverpool, due
to predictions of a liberal increase in
worlds shipments, the wheat market
here opened firm. Initial quotations
only July were up Bc to Nc, at S7$@
SSc. May opened up &c to 11sc, at
$1.151s@1.16
One cause Of the opening strength
was a decided drop in temperature
throughout the west and southwest.
The strength of May was due to in
formation from Minneapolis that May
wheat there was up over l cent on the
curb. In the northwest snow was re-
ported in many sections.
Sentiment soon became bearish,
however, in selling of May by houses
supposed to be acting for Wall street
coterie. prominent long here was
also credited with selling May. Within
a short time the price of May had des
cended to $1.14. The break in May
had a weakening influence on the more
distant futures.
July gradually declined to S73sc. An
increase in primary receipts tended
also to create bearish sentiment. Later,
however, future deliveries became
quite firm on covering by shorts.
Part of the buying resulted from a
few additional reports of damage to
the crop in Nebraska. Another factor
was a forecast of extreme cold wealth
er. This was sufficient to force July
up to SSkc and 88Ac. The May de-
livery, however, was inclined to drag
under persistent selling by influential
traders. At the close July sold at
S7%c. May closed at $L14Ac.
The chief feature of trading in the
corn market was heavy realizing in
May. July opened unchanged to a
shade lower, at 4SA @4Sssc, and closed
at 4Sc. May ranged between AK and
481ac and closed at 47Kc.
Selling by longs and commission
houses caused a weak tone in the oats
market. July closed at 29Bc.
Provisions were moderately firm
early in the session, owing to a scent
advance in the price of hogs. At the
lard was down 21sc, at $7.45 and ribs
were &c lower, at $7.27A@739.
