CYCLONE IN PIT AS
WHEAT TAKES JUMP
Jerky Advance Since Canadian
Seizure Followed by Frenzied
Weekend Trading.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Since the stampede
moments of last winter and spring,
when pit brokers tore their own hair
and the clothes of fellow traders to
buy 1915 May wheat at $3.50 and $16O
a bushel, the pit has seen no more ex-
citement than was produced yesterday.
Bullish from the beginning of the
week, when announcement was made Of
the Canadian government seizure of
20, 900, 900 bushels. wheat advanced Jerk
lily. Prices opened yesterday slightly
lower than Fridays close, at s111A and
s1.12H for December and May, respec-
lively. The advance throughout yester-
days two hours and thirty minutes of
trading was SO gradual that brokers
failed to grasp It's extent until the last
fifteen minutes. Then a real pit cyclone
occurred. When the closing gong sound
ed, brokers were yelling for orders at
1.16ss for December and SLICK for May
new high records for those futures.
Entrance OF the speculative element,
increasingly heavy export demand, and
realization that conditions are more
bullish now than year ago, when May
wheat was quoted at from $40 to 81. so,
were given as causes. The close yes
terday was up 13h cents. and 10 cents
higher than the close the preceding
Saturday.

 An exclusive dispatch" published in a coast paper to that effect is look ed upon as absurd and ridiculous by the vice president, who said that he was confident that the president did not say any such thing. In the Wash ing dispatch Mr. Wilson is quoted as saying it is '.unlucky to run the same team twice." while the author of the message insinuates that there is marked coldnes between the presi- dent and vice president "The real reason being" according to the re- port is, that MT.

COST REVIEW BOARD CONSIDERS THE QUESTION OF DUR CONTRACT

the land owners to pay the amount assessed against them by the Secre- tary of the Interior.
 It is certain that the strongest pos sible showing has been made in favor of the $40 per acre idea; so strong, in fact, that I was in high hopes that at least fair and just compromise price can be agreed upon between the land owners and the government
 Another fact very clearly brought out was that the mesa is regarded as a part of the project and most stand it's proportionate share of the con- struction costs. All the witnesses urged that the public lands on the mesa be thrown open as soon as pos sible not only because the costs of operation and maintenance will be reduced thereby, but because it will bring new people, new money, new energy and be a great advertisement to the project as a whole.
 One more point was brought out that will stop croakers from other sections trying to make people be- lieve that Yuma project is not pros pering, and that was when MT. Bon desson testified that land values have more than doubled since the con- of work on the project. Raw lands were selling for $25 per acre before the work was begun, whereas, raw lands now sell all the way from $50 to $65 or $75, while the general price of we'll cultivated lands run from $1OO to $500 per acre, accord ing to proximity to Yuma, or the na- ture of the crop planted.
 Altogether, the first days session was most agreeable to everybody worked like a fine piece of machinery, and the general i'm pression is that the review will be of great benefit to the project.
 It is certainty that nearly half million dollars, if not more, will be knocked from the book accounts, and it is almost equally as certain that the river front work and the cost of Laguna dam will be properly and fairly adjusted.
 Just before the board adjourned, Dr. Fleming received a telegram an nouncing the death of Expert Account ant Smalley, which was great shock to all who knew him.
