pit was again flooded with crop dam
age reports from sections of Kansas.
oklahoma and Missouri. Despite all
the damages reported by the green bug
and other pests, prices in the grain pit
did not respond as readily to this class
of news as heretofore. There were
numerous bull arguments floating
through the air which were given
abundance of thought but did not slim
ulate any new buying of wheat. Among
them was the report issued by Crop
Expert Snow which estimated the Ok
lahoma crop at 20 per cent against &c
per cent by the government on the
first of April. 1t is believed in some
well informed circles that SHOWS fig
ures are little too low. May and
July wheat had a range of about
cent a bushel. but at no time during
the session was there any exceptional
strength displayed. Profit taking by
the fortunate ones who bought wheat
early last week on the bug stories and
dyed in the wool" bears were the
chief sellers. The market lost about

MAY REALIZE LONG
CHERISHED DREAM
Whiting is Nearer Solution
of Park Problem Than
Ever Before.

Whiting is nearer the solution of its
park problem than ever before as
result Of a meeting last night of the
mayor and several members of the
Whiting council with an attorney OF
the Lake Shore road
AS a result OF the interview it is
now known that the Lake Shore rail-
road is willing TO permit the city of
Whiting to purchase the ten acres OF
land which has been tied up in the
courts for so long at the price for which
it was originally condemned
In addition they offer to build n VIA
duct over the railroad tracks which
lie between the city and the lake. pro-
viding the city viii close up one or
two streets which are now dangerous
grade crossings.
Looks Like Good Proposition.
This has always been considered an
| exceedingly good proposition to the
business men Of Whiting. who see that
the park would be even more accessible
If it were to be reached by means Of
a viaduct than 1t would if women and
children were compelled to pick their
way over the dangerous labyrinth OF
tracks that lie between the lake and
the park
On the other hand there have been
| a few people who live in the vicinity
OF the streets which are to be closed
who object TO a viaduct that will en-
tail reduction in the value of THEN
property.
An effort is to be made at the mex
meeting Of the council to line up th'
members for a lake front park with
viaduct entrance, regardless OF thu
wishes of the few who have opposed
the idea.
1t is said that the council member
would like to have the Lake Shor
railroad pay for the hbutments to tn
viaduct as well as the viaduct itself
and If they are willing to do thi
there is little doubt that Whiting vii
actually have park on the lake from
before the summer is over.

Save the Fish.

The deputy fish commissioners ap-
pear to have been doing some excel
lent work in this section of the state
lately and the punishment melted out
to that coterie of outlaws at Angola
last week was especially gratifying TO
people who are regardful of law and
who wish to have fish life preserved in
Indiana lakes. The scores of nets that
are employed in this section of the
state are rapidly running the fishing in
practically all of the adjacent lakes,
despite the constant restocking of these
waters by the federal and state au-
thorities. The man who uses net is

ing neighbor He cannot be pros ecuted
