In Chicago they propose TO have
street cars carry produce in from the
country TO supply the municipal mar
ket, proceeding in the belief that It
will help 70 cut down the cost of liv-

TO become feasible in Rock Island
eventually after Rock river is bridged
near the mouth and the new road is
opened up to the southwest The build
ing of the road undoubtedly will be
followed by street railway extension

AL NIELANDER.

BATAVIA, ILL.,, has mystery. Ba-
tavia is dry. Delivery of beer to the
homes is permitted in daytime only
In the cellar of a citizen case of bot
ties filed with an amber fluid has
been discovered by the marshal. 1t is
alleged it found its way to the home
of said citizen after the sun went
down. Citizen claims on the day he
ordered the package the sun failed to
show; therefore it was impossible to
tell when Sol had gone to rest on that
particular date. Furthermore, there
is a sneaking suspicion that the bot
ties contain real beer. Good citizens
who do not use the horrid stuff have
made tests. Some of their number
say it looks like beer and tastes like
beer-how should they know?-but
they are unable to positively identify
it as such. So a chemist has been call
ed in. He will likely pronounce it a
cheap grade of gasoline.

EXPLAINING Sophie.

There appears to be some confusion
over the nationality of Sophie Tucker
and l am taking the liberty Of putting
right those who have been misinform-
ed. She came to New York as a mere
che-ild. She was accompanied by her
parents. At 16 she was the cutest
cutup in her neighborhood. She made
all the other girls jealous the way
she wore her hair and the. wonderful
drag she had with the boys. You'll
notice she still has it. She used to
sing in her sleep. She was discovered
by a minister who was passing her
home one bitterly cold winter day
while she was rendering Throw Him
Down. McCluskey,'' a beautiful ballad
that had great vogue among serious
minded Christians in those early days.
We next hear of our little heroine (of
course she has grown since) in a
church choir. The offerings are said
to have doubled the first Sunday Then
the theatre managers came and Sophie
went. Little remains to be told. At
% years of age it strikes me she has
accomplished much. She is still love
ty to her folks. Others have marveled
how she retains her child-like complex
ion. Simplicity. Nine hours sleep ev-
cry night, rising promptly at and
walking seven miles before a light
breakfast. AS to her nationality, she
once informed me her godfather's
name was O'Brien. l am authorized to
speak for Miss Tucker, as l am her
manager while she is in Illinois and
Indiana.

Supervisor of Irrigation in Speech Before Chamber Of Commerce
 Describes This Valley

The following about the visit of Supervisor of Irrigation l. D. O'Don- nell is from Billings paper of re- cent date. and is here printed be- cause interest remains lively in the Montanan who came here. two months ago to talk over the project limit business with the farmers.
 Those who attended the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in the North ern hotel yesterday were treated to talk which had in it the clements of an entertaining travelogue. l. D. ODonnell. national supervisor of ir- rigation, occupied the speaking time with a description of a recent trip through the southern reclamation projects of the United States.
 Tn the main Mir O'Donnell spoke seriously, comparing the features of the north and south from a farming standpoint. but there were enlivening touches of humor when he recount ed incidents of the trip which i'm pressed themselves on his memory
 The poor man of the northern states has better opportunity to improve his condition than those of many sections of the south, MT. O'Donnell said but the north also possesses disadvantages which even the score. Chinese and MeXicans have monopoly on labor. he said working for such small wages that white man is prevented from se curing work which will allow him to save money
 Mr O'Donnel described each step of his trip from Billings to Salt Lake, from Salt Lake to Colorado from Colorado to California. thence to Arizona, New Mexico. old Mexico and Texas. He declares the frost problem is far more serious in California than in Montana, thousands of smudge pots being stacked in the orchards during the winter months in preparation for the white blight
 He spoke in complimentary terms of the boulevard system of Arizona. declaring the entire state to be far ahead of Montana in that particular. He said boulevards lined the canals of the big projects surrounding Phoenix and that there were stretches of road 60 miles in length as smooth as a floor.
 The settlers grow sugar cane ex- tensively and are having some suc- cess with long fibred cotton" MT. ] O'Donnell said. The lateral system of irrigation is used. The southern farmers give much attention to the prepara ton of land for irrigation purposes, spending $50 an acre in preparing alfalfa land.

FINANCE AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, April PA sudden a complete reversal in the stock market The proposal for mediation and Huerta's reported acceptance came at a time when the market had been sold out and was in an eXcep- tiOnally strong position technically.

The movement. of Mexican petroleum was spectacular This stock lost eleven points last week, owing to. fears of damage to it's property located in Mexico. It opened 10 points higher today and then bounded up to 6S, an advance of 15A. No such per formance has been witnessed on the stock exchange since the historic flare of Rock Island several years ago.
