CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. May 12.-Excited buying of wheat, far from being demolished took on a wilder aspect today because of drastic measures to stop the upward flight of prices. Attempts to enforce calmness appeared only to augment alarm The market rose quicker and further today than in all the rest of the week put together. There was furry close at the topmost point reached and a net advance of 22&c to 29c, with July at $2.73 to $2.75 and September at s2.44 to s246. Corn gained 1%c to 3A and oats %c to 21bc. Provisions finished unchanged to 12hc higher
 Fright seized traders in wheat as soon as the fact became evident that the overnight action of the exchange directors in barring all transactions in May delivery had not brought about any pronounced bearish effect. Issu ance of an official statement explained the action of the directors in prohibit ing all further business in May wheat contracts was construed in some quar- ters as indicating the situation was even more bullish than had been as stunned.
 The startling advances continued un- checked until the last gong, when the eNlrt me rise IIOln the LOW point or lne day was S2 cents. The biggest jumI was in the September option. The confirmation of s31S as the official settling price for May contracts was anonunced just prior to the last half hour of trading.
 Corn and oats were more or less neglected May oats reached a new high level for the season. Provisions hardened in value with grain and hogs. Quotations for hogs were at the topmost record evel touched, and until this session never before equalled Close:
 i Wheat: July, $2.73; Sept, $244 Corn: July s1495s; Sept, s1.41B.

NORTH FORK ROAD is
NEAR HORSE RANCH

Having pushed road construction
down to within q mile of the Horse
ranch, Superintendent Wiley figures
he has the worst stretch of the North
Fork road completed. This mile will
be along the river bottom where the
big tractor can get action, and around
Mt. Marcellena the country is rolling
and full of parks.
Just little more help from the
state and this road would have gone
thru this season. As it is, some ten
to twelve miles must be left for 1918.
Then we will be connected with Somer-
set and Paonia, by short cut that will
mean the opening of remarkable

ment was gone over carefully by the
board and denied. This years assess-
ment is $500, 900 less than that fixed
by the State Tax Commission for sew
ersl years back. Nevertheless, the
company. by its attorneys, ,Crump 4
Allen, vehemently protested the A.
sessment Of $500, 900 and will take the
ease to the Tax Commission once more.
The commissioners In disappearing the
petition state "the land il assessed for
