THIRTY THOUSAND At
ONE DOLLAR FIFTEEN
George WEIGH Disposes of the Last of
Fancy Price to kerr-Gifford.

George T. WEIGH of this city, enjoys
the distinction of having made the last
sale OF wheat of last years crop. 3d.
900 bushels Of bluestem having been
sold yesterday to the Kerr7Gifford
company for s1.15 per bushel. netting
Mr. WEIGH a total OF s34,500.
The wheat solo yesterday by Mr.
WEIGH was raised on his ranch on
Eureka Flat and has been stored in his
warehouse at that place pending the
sale of yesterday. Throughout the
long continued and remarkable rise
which wheat values have shown since
the beginning of the year Mr.. Welch
has consistently held on to his pro-
duct refusing steadfastly numerous
offers on the part of buyers for the
crop. In the sale of his wheat Tor
s1I5 Mr.. WeIcI has demonstrated the
soundness of his assertion made early
in the year, that the cereal would
reach this high price.
With the disposal Of Mr.. Welcns
wheat the last of last seasons crop Is
now sold, and buyers as well as grow
ers are beginning to turn their atten-
ton to the crop soon to come.

CAN'T FIND A WHALE TO
EXHIBIT AT THE A.-Y.-P. &.
Whaling Party Cruises Up and Down
the Coast in Vain.

ASTORIA, May 28.-The.little steam
er Advance returned to port last even
ing after spending the day cruising in
the vicinity of Tillamook rock in search
of a whale for the Alaska Yukon Pa
cific exposition at Seattle.
The only whale sighted since the
steamer has been on the cruise was
just as the vessel was passing Cape
F1attery. This was a finback and too
large for the use desired No attempt
was made to kill it. Capt Jones has
crew of ten men on board the
craft, including two Arctic whalers,'
one of whom is Capt Long, formerly
of the jeanette. The Advance left
again this morning and will cruise
north, probably touching at Grays Har-
Dor this evening.

ENLISTED MEN ASK
ARMY NAVY GATE
Petition A.-Y.-P. Officials to Admit
Uniformed Men Free.

NAVY YARD, Puget Sound, May 2S
The enlisted men at this yard are
wondering whether there will be an
army-nav gate at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition, through which en-
listed men in uniform will be admit>-d
free to the exposition grounds The
following letter written to the fair man
agement by Sheldon Smith, M. D., of
the hospital corps of this yard, voices
the sentiments of the enlisted men:
Knowing that you will be glad to
consider all suggestions tending to
make the exposition more popular, /
beg leave to submit the following prop
osition: AS l understand it, there viii
be no army-navy gate at the A.-Y.-P
At all seaport expositions a special gate
has been provided through which en-
uniform were allowed to enter without
charge. The earnings of the enlisted
spenders. Once they are inside the
grounds they will visit all the amuse-
ments worth while and spend their
money with a lavll hand
1.-THE sailor or soldier is proud Of his
calling and believes he is entitled to
special recognition. He likes to feel
that the public at large appreciates his
services to his country Thus when the
management Of a worlds fair extends
TO them a privilege of free admittance
to the exposition grounds, the enlisted
men are highly pleased. The enlisted
man is sensitive on such matters and if
he feels that he is not treated right he
will stay away from the fair and tell
all his shipmates to do like wise. The
men of the service expect an army
navy gate at the A.-Y.-P., following the
precedent established at Norfolk, Port
land and all other seaport expositions
If such a gate is not established at the
A.-Y.-P. the sailors and soldiers will be
disappointed and will stay away.
81 have tried to present the situation
clearly and hope that the above prop
osition will merit proper consideration. :"

The Washingtons showed excellent
form here last week in the field, but
were not strong at the bat. The SEN
ators had losing streak of six straight
games and blew every one of them by
one tally. That was due solely to the
light sticking. Cantillion had his team

good, but the team wasn't in a swat

One of the very few genuine "vari- eties" in stamps is announced. It would be more correct to say it is a rare postmark. Rare it will be if in- terested parties did not take advan- tage of the occurrence and have ad- dressed to themselves thousands of envelopes bearing the mark It seems that during the now historical avia- tion week at Rheims a temporary postoffice was set up on the aviation ground and all letters there posted bearing the ordinary French stamps were postmarked "Betheny-Aviation," !" besides the various service marks The marking stamp was hexagonal instead of round. These stamps will no doubt, be curiosities. Time will tell whether they will be sought after like the unnecessary Brunei provision als, which in the aggregate must have fetched just as high sum as the years revenue of the swamp in which they were issued.

 1. The sanitary district of Chicago has built the deep waterway, practi- cally to Joliet, nearly 40 miles, and $60,000,000 have been spent thus far on the work.
 2. The entire route of the lakes-to- the-gulf deep waterway from Joliet to New Orleans, through the Des Plaines river, the Illinois river and the Mis- sissippi river, has been surveyed un- der direction of congress by United States engineers, who have officially reported to congress that the building of the deep waterway is feasible.
 g. The people of the state of Illi- nois have adopted a constitutional amendment providing for a bond is- sue of s20,000,000, the money to be spent in constructing the deep water way southward from Joliet
 4 A bill introduced by United States Ol Missouri is now pending in congress, providing for the issuance by the United States government of bonds to the amount of $500, ,000, the money to be spent in constructing this deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf and other meritorious projected river improvements.
 5. It is intended to ask the Sixty first congress to pass bill providing definitely that the United States gov ernment undertake the construction of the deep waterway from the point where the Illinois work will end, to the Gulf of Mexico.
