WEATHER OBSERVATIONS
U. S. Department OF Agriculture
Weather Bureaul

The areas of low pressure which
were yesterday over the Rocky noun
tain plateau and northern Michigan
have moved to southeastern South
Dakota and the coast of New England,
respectively causing higher tempera-
lures in the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys and the eastern and southern
sections. These disturbances have
also been attended by precipitation on
the Pacific coast and in the northern
Rocky mountain states and from the
lake region to the north Atlantic
coast. An area Of high pressure and
considerably cooler weather covers
the north Pacific slope and is over
spreading the Rocky mountain region.
The westward movement OF these con-
ditions will be attended by generally
fair weather in the tri-cities and vi
entity tonight and Thursday, with
strong southwest to west winds to-
night.

WHEAT SCARS At
RUSH OF BUYERS.
Prices Harden on Strength OF Greater
Activity on Part Of Shippers aud
Bullish Cables.

Chicago, April l2.-Higher prices
for wheat resulted today from Il gen.
eral rush to buy. The incentives lay
in continued adverse reports % the
domestic winter crop and IN bullish
cable dispatches. Bull leaders were
predicting a renewal this year Of the
early war time pinch in wheat sup

ed further gains.

turns however, were relatively small.
After opening shade to AZ sc high
er, the market receded little.
Fairly liberal stocks and the slow
ness of cash demand prevented any
radical advance in prices. The close
was steady at shade to &c above

Oats developed f1rmness, the result
mainly of the action Of other grain.

the levee between Main and Scott
streets. A force Of Is men is work
ing today on the park and will be kept
busy until the improvements now
planned are completed. How well
lighted the park will be can be dis
cerned from the erection Of "a cleo
trio light posts, each one Of which will
bear a 16-inch light globe. The posts
are Of concrete. They were designed
and made by the park board during
the slack months OF winter. Each
post stands ten feet above the ground
and weighs 1850 pounds The posts
are finished with a pebble exterior
which will give them an attractive
appearance. The big feature of the

ula that has been observed in former
years will be followed out but it IS

probation behind the toasts to the G.

years. Moline and Davenport will CO.
operate III making the annual Cele-
bration a success The address and
exercises on Rock Island arsenal
will, as in former years, be the big

able that a salute will be fired by one

walk is made Of macadam as the
filled-in ground will settle and con-
crete would be impracticable for this
reason. 1t is expected that this walk
will be the promenade ground of
Davenport. 1t will be fanked on the
inland side by a row of trees 40 feet
apart. All of these trees have already
been planted. Laying Of the macadam
promenade and the matchmaking Of
the other walks and drives will begin
soon and will be completed this spring
or summer. The macadam will be
delivered by private contractor and
will be spread by the force employ
ed by the park board. Sod will be laid
along the edge of the macadam. Fifty
more benches are to be placed in the
park for the use of the public.

tional aspirants for sheriff hOnors

Occupying New Building first
rooms III the new manual training
building have been occupied by the
mechanical drawing classes. The
students in these classes removed the
apparatus from the high school into
the new building Monday afternoon
and started work in the rooms yester-
day morning. The rooms for the heavy
work Of the manual training depart
ment will not be ready for several
weeks as some of the interior finishing
has to be completed and the machin-
cry installed. The new rooms make
the work much easier as the students
like their new surroundings much
better than the old rooms where they
were crowded close together on ac-
count of lack of room. The new
building will allow for many more
students taking the vocational courses.
