the war lasted until 1867. From that
time to 1888, wheat sold above ST

wheat brought above ST. in eleven
years, not continuously, but at times.
In 1872, the Franco-Prussian war,
either by demand or speculation, fore
ed wheat to $l.6l. Three years prior
to that, September wheat was cor
nered. No one o. in the Chicago
trade remembers just who did it, but
records show that this corner sent
wheat to $2.47 per bushel.
The most noted corners OF the last
twenty years were those engineered
by E. J. Harper, B. II. Hutchinson,

The Dixie Highway

The action of the fourteen com
missioners appointed by the
Governors of Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky. tennessee
Georgia, and Florida at Chatta-
nooga on Saturday May 22nd is OF
incalculable and far reaching
benefit to the Counties of Eastern
Kentucky. The Eastern branch
of this great highway from Chicago
on one of the Great Lakes in the
North will run thru the Counties
of Rockcastle, Laurel, Knox and
Bell thru East Tennessee, central
Georgia. and Florida, and is usual
ly spoken of as running from the
Lakes to the Gulf. Most of the
counties thru which it was located
except the four above mentioned
already have more or less good
roads and have enjoyed them for
some time. Bell County under
the progressive leadership of Judge
T. ]. Asher is pushing the work
on the highway thru that County
and it is now in order for Rock
castle, Laurel and Knox counties
to proceed at once to do likewise.
The location of the highway thru
these counties was on condition
that the road thru them should be
completed. within one year or by
May 22nd 1916. 1t is up to these
four counties therefore to begin at
once and push the work to COM
pletion. All of these four counties
have voted. by large najorities.
bonds to build roads and it was
upon the pledges from these
counties that the Commissioners
agreed to locate the highway thru
them over the Eastern Koute.
The State road law requires that
for county to participate in the
distribution of the State road
fund its roads shall run from the
County Seat of that County to the
County seat of the adjoining coun-
ty. Each of the four counties
under discussion, by building the
Dixie Highway first under the
State Aid Law is entitled tore
ceive from the State Fund an
amonnt equal to what they spend
on the highway whereas if they
do not connect up with the road
from the County seat of their ad-
joining county they cannot par
ticipate in the distribution of the |
State road fund. 1t would be fol-
ly for any one of these counties
to use money derived from the
sale of its bonds to build short
lines out a few miles from its
County seat without extending
hem to its line and connecting
