UNITED STATES TO ORDER
 MORE MOTOR TRUCKS

1t is likely that several of the mak- CTS of pleasure vehicles, will turn their plants over to the. manufacture of trucks exclusively, in the event of their securing orders for these from the government.
 A number of manufacturers have already eliminated pleasure car build ing since the ever increasing demand for trucks has assumed such enor- nous proportions, and nearly all of these are working to capacity.

 NEW YORK, May S.-A new and most wonderful system of rapid tran sit is now claiming the attention of officials of the various street railway companies here. Maximum speed and minimum risk has been worked out to stage heretofore unknown, added to which it is claimed that the new sys- tenn does away with noise almost en- tirely.
 In one respect it is similar to a road that has been running success fuflly in Germany for some years, in- somuch. as it is a mono-rail system. that this system makes a speed of over 120 miles per hour possibel, they having accomplished this in the past.
 This new invention however differs from all other suspended car systems in that it uses grooved rail, and noiseless fiber tire that is guaranteed by the manufacturers for thirty thou sand miles.
 The cars are both strong and of light weight and have a seating capa- city of one hundred and ten.
 The power can be either electricity or gasoline, and grades of over forty per. cent are easily surmounted

There is no question but that one hundred and five thousand dollars of Uncle Sams money will be spent on the proposed harbor in Nome-and that at an early date-perhaps this summer-according to wire which was received from Delegate Sulzer this morning
 The wire was received by the Nome Chamber of Commerce and is self the backing of the president and the secretary of war and will go through as an emergency war measure.
 This is extremely gratifying to the people of Nome and means lot to the community For the past fifteen years efforts have been made to se- cure the passage of such measure. We have had all kinds of promises and now we are to realize what reality means.

 Fourteen years ago when a delega- ton of senators were in Nome, a mass meeting was held at the old courthouse and the subject of a harbor at the mouth of Snake river was put forward by Capt. w. w. Johnson.
 Senate Knute Nelson of Minnesota was impressed with the tenor of the meeting and realizing the absolute necessity of a harbor for Nome did his best for us at Washington but without avail.
 In the meantime Cap Johnson start ed on the work himself and expend- . ed considerable money in the attempt. Part of the old piling put in by him stands there today.
 During the summer of 1915 a party of engineers and surveyors arrived in Nome to make a preliminary examin- ation of the proposed work and in their report to the war department stated that the physical conditions did not allow of the construction and main- tainence of such a harbor without it being an enormous expense. That it was not justified in proportion to the Interests involved.
 Last summer F.. l.. Carpenter with a staff of assistants were sent here from Washington and made an extensive survey of the mouth of Snake river. He reported favorably of the project and now we are going to reap the benefit.

 CHICAGO, May S.-Still soaring and with the top not yet in sight, May wheat hit $2.S5 1-2 at the closing of yesterdays market.
 The one peculiar thing about the trading is the fact that at these high figures the brokers are still loaded down with orders to purchase. This is considered the best evidence that the new element that has been trying to wrest the crown from Patton are the ones behind these buying orders, as in all instances where wheat has reached top prices the small trader pulls out of the market, and stays out,
