Liberal Buying Put
Canadian Wheat Up

OTTAWA, Ont. May S. - The wild
flurries in wheat on the Winnipeg grain
market for the past ten days were unin.
tentionally caused by unusually large
purchases OF contract grades made by
the British wheat commission, Sic
Thoma, Waite. finance minister, told
the Canadian parliament.
Sir Thomas explained that there had
not been sufficient wheat OF the grades
sold TO the commission to fill the con.
tracts and that many venders who sold
options had been caught short when the
British buyers called for delivery Of the
wheat
The yenders, said Sir Thomas, are
ying TO be relieved OF their con-
tracts. They promise to deliver all OF
| the contract grade wheat in their pos
session and want permission to make up
| the balance OF their sales with lower
grades at prices based on relative mill
ing values OF the lower than contract
grades
The grain men say that a number 4

ton up with the British wheat commits

The effect that Galli-Curci has pro-

that of the divas of the past, because
she sings old Italian operas that had

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Charles
owen Of Caney, Kan, has asked the
interior department thru the Indian
commissioner to grant him an OIL
lease on 100 acres Of land upon which
oil has been discovered in drilling
for gas.
Mr.. owens companies own approx
mately 259,O0 acres of gas leases IN
the Usage nation, and under the pres
ent regulations when oil is discovered
the lease upon which oil is found Is
sold to the highest bidder.
Mr.. owen takes the position that
he being the discoverer, thereby en-
hancing the value of the surrounding
land. he should be given the lease OF
at least 100 acres without bonus.
Mr.. owen has presented very
strong argument in the matter. How
ever. some time ago, ii was referred
to Agent j. George Wright, who an
swercd that there is nothing in the
regulations to permit it," In that
Mr.. Wright was right-there Is
