Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Opinions on wheat last night were
mixed. Bears said the break late in
the day indicated to them that the
market was beginning to weaken and
that should corn decline they expected
wheat to follow. Bull houses said they
saw no inherent weakness. despite the
drop in prices
Sentiment in corn is bearish. There
Is nothing in the previous history of
the grain trade that compares with that
of the present. Winnipeg sent a de-
NAL of the report that the Manitoba
Legislature has passed resolutions IA
voring free wheat"
Bartlett Frazier Co says: Nv heat
We look for a steady market to-day
and with any cessation of the weakness
in corn and think prices would rally.
"Corn-We see nothing to cause any
rally. although there may be some COW

tion looks extremely heavy.

CASH SECURED TO BUILD
RAILROAD TO SALT LAKE
Arrangements Completed for Financ
ing The Moffatt Road From Craig,
Colorado, to Utah Capital.

Denver, Colo Arrangements for
financing the building of the Denver
& Salt Lake railroad from Craig,
Colo, to Salt Lake City, were made
by Newman Erb, president of the
company, during his recent trip to
Europe, according to President Jesse
e. Fleming of the Moffat tunnel CON-
mission, who has just returned from
New York.
Fleming had conference with Erb
in New York and was told by the lat
ter that work on the railroad extern
sion will begin simultaneously with
construction of the tunnel. The esti-
mated cost of building the road to
salt Lake is Sl5,000,000.
The tunnel commission will probably
decide to start engineers at once pre-
pairing plans and specifications for the
tunnel Immediately without waiting
for supreme court decision in the
Lord taxpayers suit. Applications for
positions in connection with the Dor
ing Of the Moffat tunnel already have
been received by the commission from
engineers in the United States, Can
ada, Alaska, Mexico and even in South
America.

Seattle, Wash.-A life preserver that
will not only support the wearer in the
water, but will keep him warm, no
matter what the temperature OF the
water, has been patented by James
Scarlet, a Seattle man.
The new device consists Of bag,
which may be slipped on over ones
ordinary clothing. 1t is made Of rub
Der and other material as nearly non,
conducting as the inventor has been
able to utilize for his purposes. Buoy
aney is obtained by means of flexible
rubber tube within the suit at the
waist line, which may be quickly in
flated. The suit is lined with wool
and has hood with transparent eye.
pieces, which may be drawn over the
head in such a manner as to protect
the wearer's face from the water.
Mr.. Scarlet says that person may
initiate the rubber tube in less than one
minute, step into the suit, draw the
hood over the head, and jump from q
vessel without any danger of drown,
ing. II the user should happen to
come up under the vesesl, there ia
enough air in the suit to sustain life
for several minutes until, by the use OF
arms and legs, which are free, the
user may work his way to the surface
and then lower the hood.

AMBASSADOR TO GREAT BRITAIN
MAKES ADDRESS WHICH
STARTS TROUBLE.
Resolutions Adopted by Senate Call
Ing for an investigation Of Alleged
Public Assertions Relative to
Monroe Doctrine and Canal.

Washington.-Walt Hines Page.
American ambassador to Great Brit
ain, was made the target Of inquiry
in resolution adopted by the sen
ate on Thursday, calling upon the sec
rotary Of state to investigate alleged
public assertions by the ambassador
relative to the Monroe doctrine and
the Panama canal
Senator Chamberlain, aroused over
reports of a speech by Ambassador
Page in London, before the Associat-
ed Chamber of Commerce, introduced
the resolution of inquiry and his re-
quest for immediate consideration re-
suited in its adoption without debate.
The resolution requests the secretary
of state to procure a copy for the use
of the senate of Ambassador Page s
address, and to call upon the ambas-
sador for evidence upon which he
based the alleged statement that 1T
added greatly to the pleasure of the
people Of the United States in the
building of the Panama canal to know
that the British would profit most by
its use"
Particular request is made in the
resolution for a verbatim report OF
that part of the ambassadors address
in which he is reported to have de.
fined the Monroe doctrine as meaning
merely that "the United States would
prefer that no European governments
would gain more laind In the new
world"
