WHEAT JUMPS
TO NEW HEIGHT
FOR WAR TIME
May Prices Reach ST AZ 3-6 a
Bushel, Topping Record of
LAST Week.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14-Grabbing up OF
spring wheat by exporters swept the
wheat market today to a new high
record war level of prices. May wheat
easily reached s142ss a bushel thus
surprising the former tip-top quota
ton. s1.41&, which was reached jan
uary 8, before the bulls had been in
undated by rumors that the Dardan-
elles would quickly be forced and that
an attack by Italy on Turks would
hasten the end Of the war
Today's advance was accompanied
by reports that the Pacific coast was
outbidding Minneapolis for wheat In
North Dakota, and that the Pacific
coast crop of 1914 had been entirely
disposed of. The upturn which broke
the record here, however, was not ac-
comphshed until after there had been
heavy profit-taking sales by dealers
whose motto appeared to be safety
first"

office expires January 10, today filed
his resignation with the secretary of
state.
The resignation, transmitted to the

until Manning's inauguration.
Rumors of threatened impeachment

previously released under parole.
"I hereby resign as governor" was
the sole, curt notice of Blease to the

MAYOR CALLS
EXTRA SESSION
OF THE COUNCIL
Aldermen Directed to Hold Spe-
ciaI Meeting to Act on
Nominations.

Mayor Raymond today ordered a
special, or extra meeting of Common
Council for tomorrow night to act on
the nomination submitted by him for
city auditor to succeed James A.
Rowe and those of three nominations
for membership in the Board of
Health that the board OF aldermen
declined to confirm.
August Soffel was named by the
mayor for auditor. The nomination
was laid on the table. Whether or
not the mayor will substitute an
other name or not Is not known.
The nominations of DR.. William
Buermann, Mrs. r. Manners Laird
and DR.. Sara Smalley for the Board
Of Health were rejected. II Is said
that the mayor will send In the same
names tomorrow night.
It could not be learned whether
or not the mayor has received any
assurance from Common Council that
the aldermen would act favorably
upon the nominations to be sent in
tomorrow night, but the mayors
latest move is considered as an ad-
mission that the administration hal
not taken the proper procedure at
the outset.
1t is understood that If the name of
DR.. William Buermann is not con-
flrmed by the Common Council, Mayor
Raymond will submit the name of DR..
Albert S. Harden, who succeeded DIR.
Richard A. Dieffenbach as a health
commissioner, and was dropped by
Mayor Raymond With the rest of the
old board on January 1.
August Soffel, Mayor Raymond s
nominee for city auditor to succeed
Mr.. Rowe, was a visitor to the mayor s
office, but refused to make known the
reason for his visit.
AS the situation stands the en-
ployes of the Board OF Health will
not receive their pay for the first hall
OF january, as there is no Board Of
Health to pass the payroll.
City Counsel Frazer has decided
that the board cannot organize with
out ten members, although it is a fac
that a quorum, or six members, car
legally transact business for the en-.
tire board. Mr.. Frazer does not say
on what grounds he bases his opinion
Just how the nomination of Mr.
Soffel, the mayors choice for auditor
can come up is not clear. 1t was
tabled by a vote of the Democrats
the motion to table being opposed By
all the Republicans.

Colonel Alexander r. Fordyce, jr.,
Civil Service Commissioner for this
district, has held up the pay war
rent, or voucher, Of James j.
Kearney, newly appointed secretary
to the police board, but has approved
all other pay rolls. 1t was reported
that he had held up the police pay
roll, but this proved to be unfounded,
as the pay roll was returned to the
auditor duly signed.
Yesterday Commissioner Fordyce
refused to affix his signature to the
pay roll for the clerical force of City
Auditor James a. Rowes office, but
after hearing from Assistant Attor-
ney-General Herbert Boggs that
Mr.. Rowe is auditor de facto and
that his signature must be recognized
by the Civil Service board, he signed
the pay roll.
James j. kearney, who was named
secretary Tuesday by the board, Is
at the office in the City Hall, but
from all accounts, Mr.. Cox is
doing the work of clerk to the police
department.
1t was stated at the mayors office
that the police pay roll, as well as
other pay rolls given to Mayor Ray

refuses to sign any bonds, owing to
the opinion given him by Spaulding
Frazer, city counsel, that the office
OF the auditor is now vacant
Mr.. Frazer, when seen today, said
that he would not comment on the
opinion given bv Mr.. Boggs.
II have nothing more to say at this
time" declared the city counsel "The
opinion as given by Mr.. Boggs is not
materially different from the legal
advice given to Mayor Raymond from
my Office
Mayor Raymond would not say
whether he would accept his check
signed by Mr.. Rowe or not THAT
matter will be discussed by the city
counsel and myself some time today"
IS the only statement that the mayor
would give on this subject
Mr.. Rowe is at his desk in the City
Hall today as usual II am glad that
the attorney generals office decided
that l am the proper one to sign the
pay rolls so that the pay will not be
held up" was his brief comment.
Mr.. Boggs paid visit to the City
Hall this morning and talked over
the situation with Mr.. Rowe and his
chief clerk, Andrew X. Brady. Mr..
ISoggs would say nothing further than
expressed in his opinion of yesterday.

LOST-A NEST EGG; FOUND
 A CHICK.

For a long time E. E. Moss of Eighth avenue and Cedar street, who has fine flock of chickens, has been the possessor of a most useful nest egg. Placed in a straw-filled box, in the corner of the chicken house, it has coaxed many an indifferent hen to de- posit her savings in the family egg-basket. Hens were wont to stand in line waiting their turn at the nest where reposed this ancient but charmed egg, which came to be regarded as a golden prize.
 One day this week Mrs. Moss heard a commotion in the chick en yard, and on Investigating found, instead of the nest egg in it's accustomed place, little, fuzzy chicken perched on the nest, disputing the right of one of the best hens on the place to perform her daily duty.
 The nest egg had turned to a chick.

Mayor Bradley, Alderman Trickett of the Fourth ward, engineers, attorneys and several citizens, with plans for the for nation of a special improvement district to grade, curb, gutter and macadamize Lee avenue and all intersecting streets, south of Prospect avenue to the west city limits, including the opening and improvement of Peach street to Forest Park gate, Thursday afternoon met with H. F. Auten, who individually and with associates is the larg- est property owner in the pro- posed district.
 It was claimed that the i'm provements contemplated could be made at an expense of about S30,000.
 It was pointed out that the improvement would open a new thoroughfare through the Heights, make circle auto driveway between Little Rock and Forest Park, and join simi- lar improvements planned by Little Rock property owners south of Lee avenue, the city boundary.
 MT. Auten agreed that the i'm pavement would be a great ad- vantage to the city, but doubted that conditions were favorable for such an outlay at the pres ent time. He did not refuse to endorse the plans, but said that he would want more information as to the cost and assessments before he would sign for an ex- tension of the district into a sec tion only sparsely settled and in which he and his companies had much land that as yet had not been platted.
 MT. Auten said that he would pledge himself and his compa- nies for the improvement as out lined as far west as and includ- ing Palm street. This would mean the grading, building of curbs and gutters and macad- amizing of Lee avenue from the brick pavement westward, and all cross streets between Pros pect and Lee avenues as far west as Palm.
 Geographically, this cuts the proposed district in half, and it eliminates the extended auto driveway, but, as MT. Auten suggested, it provides for the improvement of the streets in the thickest settled portion of the Heights.
The Pulaskian., 1915-08-27

Next April the citizens of Pu- laski Heights will elect a new set of officers, including one alder man from each ward. It is too early yet to speculate on the personnel of the ticket that probably will be nominated a month earlier than the election, but it is not too early to weigh we'll the suitability of the vari- ous candidates that are likely to aspire for these honors.
 The next two years are quite likely to be the most important in the history of the young mu- nicipality. Like the growing child, Pulaski Heights is passing through that critical stage when it is forming, not only physical strength, but civic character.
 Much has been done by this little city in the few short years of it's cooperative existence, more, probably, than any other city of it's size in the state. Tn fact, Pulaski Heights has been keeping right up with Little Rock in every move for civic de- velopment. There is, however, much yet to be done, and the next administration will be ex- pected to accomplish some stu- pendous undertakings, among which may be mentioned
 First, the providing of fire protection, which the city is now without.
 Second, the establishment of permanent and adequate sew craze system, embracing all of the city's territory.
 Third, the improvement of all occupied streets.
 Fourth, the enlargement of the public school accommodate tions by additions to the Pulas- Ri Heights school and the building of permanent brick school building in Forest Park. (This is under the direct charge of the School Board, but will be brought about only by the vigor- ous insistence of the city off, cials.)
 Fifth, the establishment of a branch public library.
 When the voter considers the claims of candidates, let him de- bate in his mind whether the man whom he is asked to sup port is capable of taking hold of these things, wrestling with the many obstacles that are sure to be in the way, and finally ac- complish the ends the people want.
 The need is for big men in every office. There are big men in Pulaski Heights. It's too early to talk much about the election, but it is not too early to think about the candidates.
 The Pulaskian wants to keep the topic alive, and it invites sincere expressions from all cit izens, no matter where they live or who they are. A few let ters will be interesting, and our columns are open to Vox Populi and all the rest. This is the tax payers chance to air his opin-
