TeIeqraphy In China.

The first telegraph line was opened
in China in 1872 and there are now
about $4,000 miles of line, the whole
under imperial control. The Chinese
language being syllable and not al
phabetic, many may wonder how a
message is transmitted.
The method is simple, but ingeni-
GUS. There are as many characters
as words in the Chinese language, and
the messages are sent in number
cipher. When the numbers are re-
ceiyed at the other end double end
ed type is used, with numbers at
one end and characters at the reverse.
A message is set up by the numbers
and then printed from the reverse
end, which shows the characters

LOU R I D
60 STILL
HIGHER
Big Millers Say Advance
In Wheat Market Is
Not Due To
Corner

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
| CHICAGO, April 16.--Accord-
ing to the unreserve statements
of the managers of many of the
largest mills in the United States,
including the Washburn- Crosby
company, the Pillsbury-W shburn
company and the Northwestern
Consolidated Milling company,
there is no possible relief from
the present high price of -four.
These mills are among the
largest producers in the country
and practically fix the price of
-four and other mill products.
That the price of -four is de-
stined to soar during the coming
months, possibly to a figure of
$40 per barrel. is the opinion of
the majority of the managers and
owners. The managers aver that
there is no combinat to fix
prices and control the milling
business, and claim that the pres
ent conditions are the result of
wheat prospects throughout the
world.
The local managers of the
Washburn-Crosby company said
today:
"It isn't the speculation in
wheat that is affecting the pres
ent price of -four. The wheat
price is destined to be stiff
throughout the entire summer.
The United States has grown a
larger crop than usual but the
worlds supply is exceedingly
short. There is wheat bread
famine in Mexico, while Argen-
tine wheat is selling at $1.25 and
Canadian at $1.27. Liverpool is
very short"
Continuing, he said:
"All of these conditions create
an unusual demand for American
wheat, and will demand actual
shipments. The result is appar-
ont. At present, strange though
it may sound, -four at 81 per bar
rel is selling below cost, 1t takes
five bushels of wheat to make a
barrel and at $1.29 a bushel, ad-
ding the cost of sacks, freight,
storage, delivery with selling and
carrying accounts, the actual cost
approximates $3.50 a barrel. The
reason that we are selling at this
figure when the actual prepara-
tion of the -four for the market
costs us more, is that we were
unprepared fro such rapid jumps
in the market, and were unable
to prepare our customers for
them"
Patten Sells Freely.
CHICAGO, April 16.-May
wheat run down the scale for a
cent and a half today within a
few minutes after the opening of
the market and finally rested at
$1.25 S-4. July and September

Patten sold May wheat freely this
morning, his offerings being taken
eagerly at first on the theory that
he was about to start a combined
raid and shake out. Later the
market weakened, dipping to-
$1.23 ga, then recovering $1.26I
around which point 1t remained
all forenoon.

HEARING OLD
LIBEL CASE

United States Commissioner
Bridges today is taking testimony
In an old libel action brought by
the Navigation company of France
against the tug Burley for $4,000.
Several years ago the tug brought
the Admiral Cecile into the bay
and tnchored her in the way. The
Multnomah in going out ran into
her and later got damages for
injuries sustained amounting to
$4,000. Then the tugboat was
sued and the testimony is now
being taken to submit to the
court.
