CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The wheat pit was the scene of the widest confu. sion yesterday ever witnessed in the memory of the oldest member. The market opened with wheat at $1.65 per bushel Shortly after the open ing a rumor was circulated that a cable had been received from the American ambassador at Rome stat ing that the Allies had succeeded in forcing the Dardanelles and that Rus sian wheat would soon be exported via the Mediterranean.
 The circulation of the rumor caused the price to break and in the scram- ble to unload the price dropped to $1.56%. Fortunes were swept away in the rapid drop in price and many

land states. Unless the tariff is re- stored and the bonding privileges re. scinded the American fish dealers can not hope to retain the Alaskan busi- ness and will sustain a loss of sever al million dollars in trade annually.
 Those who are informed on the situation believe that the delegation will fail in it's mission to secure eith- CT a restoration of the tariff or the resembling of the bonding privileges. To secure the relief asked the dele. 'gation will have to pit its strength against strong New England interests which have invested their capital in Prince Rupert and special cars to handle their fish over the Canadian line. These New England interests are strong and their representatives have generally been able to secure what they want in the way of leg islation. They have been given cred it of being responsible for having the bonding privileges extended to the Grand Trunk so the fight resolv- es itself into a contest of strength between the fishing interests of the Pacific coast and the New England capitalists.
 The firsh dealers at Prince Rupert pay cents per pound for all fresh halibut brought to them. The fisher men of Southeastern Alaska, disgust ed with their treatment at the hands of the Seattle dealers, have been taking their catches to Prince Ru- pert in preference to taking chances in Seattle.

WAHINGTON, Feb. 4.-In his speech yesterday before the United States Chamber of Commerce meet ing in New York President Wilson urged closer cooperation between the business men of the country and the government, through it's representa- tives, in the framing of laws.
 The chamber is composed of busi- ness men from all sections of the United States, several hundred being in attendance. The appearance of President Wilson was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm. The presi- dent opened his remarks by stating that he believed all men were hon. est where the welfare of their coun- try was concerned and there was no reason why business men should hesitate in expressing their views on laws which they deemed neces- sary to the best interests of the country.

 ACTION FROM eovERNMENT-wiLL FIGHT BETWEEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. A delega- tion of citizens from the state of Washington are in the capital trying to get federal action to prevent Can. ada from capturing the halibut and salmon fishing business of Alaska. The delegation is headed by Senator Wesley l.. Jones, and Representative William E. Humphrey, Judge Thom- as Burke, E. F. Blaine and Richard A. Ballinger, former secretary of in- terior under President Taft, are the other members of the committee.
 The delegation represents the New Seattle Chamber of Commerce which has been endeavoring to secure a restoration of the tariff of 1 per cent which was removed from imports on fresh fish by the present admins. tration. They also urge the rescind- ing of the bond privileges granted to Canadian railroads permitting car loads of fresh fish caught in Alas kan waters to be sent through Can ada to the eastern American markets in bond.
 The delegation declares that the Canadian government and transpor- tation companies are offering special inducements to capture the fish busi- ness of the north. Immense cold storage plants have been erected at Prince Rupert and the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad has spent millions of dollars in providing facilities for the rapid handling of fresh fish between the Pacific coast and the New Eng

 The recent election caused many changes in the personnel of the House. Representative Underwood, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, will not be a member of the next congress, having been elect ed to the Senate. There are six va. cancies on the committee, which is one of the most important, and the precedent which has always prevailed of appointing old members to vacan- cies will likely be followed in the present instance.
 It is regarded as certain that the caucus will indorse Speaker Clark for reelection to that position.

VILLA PRESIDENT

Has Proclaimed Himself Provisional President and Will March
 Against Vera Cruz.
FL PASO, Feb. 4.-General Will

FL PASO, Feb. 4.-General Villa has proclaimed himself provisional president of Mexico and has already created three departments of his gov ernment. He says that the withdraw al of President Garza from Mexico City has left the country without recognized executive and that he will remain at the head of affairs un- til president can be elected by the people of Mexico.
 The officials of President Carran- za's government have removed all the records of his government to Vera Cruz, which he has designated as the capital of Mexico. The affairs of the country are in deplorable condition and are constantly growing worse as a result of the kaleidoscop. ic entrance and departure of provis. ional presidents.
 President Villa has announced that he will start for Mexico City with his army and that after firmly es- his rule in the capital he will march against Vera Cruz, the capital of the Carranza government.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 1.-Two thousand persons are homeless as g result of the Ohio river overflowing it's banks and inundating the coun- try. Many of the refugees have lost everything and are being cared for by the charity organizations.
 The high water, which has flooded many mills and factories, causing them to be closed down, has caused ten thousand persons to be thrown out of employment. The river is still rising and fears are entertained that the havoc wrought by floods two years ago are again to be repeated.

German Losses Enormous.


 LONDON, Feb. 4.-The losses sus. tained by Gen. Hindenburg's forces in their attacks upon the Russian positions near Warsaw are reported to have been very heavy. The fight ing was the most desperate of any engagement since the war started. Bayonet charges were resorted to time after time but the advancing Germans were literally moved down by machine guns before they could reach the Russian trenches. Big Battle Pending.
 It is believed that Gen. Hindenburg plans supreme effort to break the Russian center near Warsaw. Troop trains have been carrying reinforce. ments from Germany for the past two days and it is thought that the final effort of Gen. Hindenburg to capture Warsaw is soon to begin. The Rus sians have succeeded in forcing the German left wing, operating in the Mlawa district, back to point which renders the position of Hindenburg's army at Warsaw precarious should the Russians gain a decisive victory over the Germans at Mlawa They would then be in position to turn southward and strike at the German line of communication through Pc. land.
 Russian Counter Attacks.
 The aggressive movements on the part of the Russians against the Ger. man forces both northwest and south west of Warsaw are believed to be counter movements to break the force of the German attacks against War. saw as should either wings of the Russian forces gain ground they will threaten Hindenburg's army from the rear by cutting his line of commun. ication.

WILL REBUILD
TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Home Telephone Company
Plant to be Overhauled
Either Cen tral Energy or
Automatic System to be
Installed.

Big changes are to be made in
the plant of the Bayfield, County
Telephone company located in
this city the coming summer
according to an announcement
given out by Manager c. Wright
of the local company.
The plant in this city which is
now considered out Of date is to
be replaced with a modern and
up-to-date system. At a meeting
of the stockholders of the COM
pany to be held in the near
future it will be decided what
changes will be made. The
present system will either be
replaced with a central energy
system which does away with
the ringing, drops in the central
office working automaticly when
the receiver is removed from the
hook, or an automatic system
will be installed. By the auto
matte system the subscriber, by
turning a dial, gets into COM
munication with his party with
out ringing central.
Both of these systems are now
in use in the larger cities Of the
country and will be a big i'm
provement over the present
plant. Officers of the company
have been engaged in looking up
the different systems during the
past few months and are now
ready to give their report to the
stockholders.
With the installation of either
system much work will have to
be done IN this city. Many OF
the wires which are now up will
be removed and cables will be
put up in their place. The new
work will be put up principally
in the alley ways which will do
away with the forest of poles
along the streets.
1t is figured out that it will
take a crew of men about two
months to complete the work of
installing a new system in this
city. The change will be well
coined by the many subscribers
of the company in this city.

According to old traditions
winter will remain with US for
another six weeks. When Mr..
Ground hog emerged from his
hibernating place on February
2nd the first thing that greeted
him was his shadow which sent
him scurrylng back to his den
where he will remain for anoth-
er six weeks before he will
attempt to come out again.
Tradition has it that this is a
sure sign of long winter.
In this part Of the country
whether or not the ground hog
saw his shadow he would have
to hike back to his den again or
perish with the cold. Winter
usually lasts here for six weeks
after the first of February.
