Grain and Produce,

CHICAGO, May 1s.-The bears in
wheat gained additional ground today,
and there were price losses of 1B9
21sc, with the May future particularly
weak. The rains throughout the win.
ter wheat belt have, 1t is said, halted
the progress OF the plant.
New York advices said that some Of
the exporters who were good bulls a
few days ago are now wagering in
their belief, and that there is wheat
In various positions offered by export
ers who are destrtIls OF realizing It
and taking chance on securing wheat
a little later at a lower price than now
Instead Of loss Of 100000 bush
els of wheat In Kansas, which was
claimed Monday and Tuesday OF this
week because of the dry weather,
some OF the crop experts in that state
believe that the deterioration for the
whole crop may possibly amount to
5o,000,o00 bushels, which would mean
another bumper crop, taking the win
ter and spring wheat yield on the
whole.

REFUSES TO BE INCApACIrArED

j. II. T. Smith, member of the
last legislature and secretary of the
Northwest Livestock association,
who was painfully injured last
week in an automobile accident,
was attending to business again the
first of the week, despite the fact
that he is carrying his shoulder in a
cast to permit the fractured member
to knit. An Xray examination of
the injured member, taken last Sat
urday, disclosed a fracture at the
joint, but Mr.. Smith refused to be
scared into bed, and is working his
good arm overtime to catch up with
the few days lost MIR. Smith is
making extensive arrangements for
the annual show and sale which will
be held at Lewiston, Idaho, under
the auspices of the Northwest Live
stock association, November 20 to
Deem Der 4, and made a trip to
Lewiston this week in the interests
of the show.

COUNCIL DIVIDED ON SIDEWALK

A deadlock that could not be
broken occurred in the council
chambers Tuesday evening when J.
p. Duthie and J. K. Lindsay petit
toned for a sidewalk along the
south side of Colorado street, from
Thatuna street to the city limits, a
distance of some $40 feet. Several
of the councilmen argued that not
enough of the property affected was
represented in the petition to make
the improvement feasible, and mo-
ton to refuse the petition resulted
In a tie vote, Councilmen kruegel
Swain and Scott voting in favor of
the refusal and Nye, Burnett and
Wagner favoring the construction
of the walk. A second motion to the
effect that the petition be granted
resulted in a second deadlock, the
councilmen reversing their previous
votes on the reversed motion. In
asmuch as a mayor in the state of
Washington is denied councilmanic
franchise by state law, the question
was left in the balance and will
probably be again considered when
Councilman Watt, who was absent
will cast the deciding vote.
