on the buying side. 1t is a market that is
dangerous at present, altho it will not sur

values. Under existing conditions corn can
do most anything and 1t would occasion
little surprise.

at present. Reports from the northwest
and from Illinois and Iowa are that the
those who are friendly to the buying Side
are taking September. Oats look too cheap
as compared with other grains. One of the
spreads advocated by traders is the sale of
September corn and purchase of September

1T WAS A GREAT DAY
Tomorrow 50th Anniversary of Fa-
nous Railroad Record Construction.

nous Railroad Record Construction.
Tomorrow will be the ffftieth ami
versary of the task accomplished by
workmen of the old Central Pacific
railroad in laying ten miles of track
in twelve hours, a feat never equaled
in the half century that followed, it is
said. 1t was during the period when
the Union Pacific was building its
road west across the continent and the
Central Pacific was rushing eastward
to meet it. The tremendous subsidies
offered by the government for every
mile of railroad made competition
keen between the two companies and
each tried to outdistance the other.
First one company and then the other
would be in the lead until the Central
Pacific workmen established the rec
ord on April 29, 1869. 1t is reported
that Vice President Durant, of the
Union Pacific, wagered $4,000 that
the feat could not be accomplished.
Old railroad men say that the num-
Der of workmen in these railroad
camps sometimes numbered as high as
10000, but altho all were armed, little
trouble was experienced with the In
dams. The Central Pacific employed
1000 Chinese laborers, but the Union
Pacific men would not work with Chi
nese and consequently none were en-
ployed by this company. The two
railroads met at a point in Utah on
May 8, and next day Leland Stanford,
president of the Central Pacific, COM
pleted the work by fastening the last
rail to its tie with golden spike.

WILL DENoUNCE JAP CLAIMS.
Then Wilson Will Stay in Paris and
Fight to End.

Washington, April 2S.-President
Wilson is expected by his friends here
to speak out in opposition to Japan's
peace conference objectives in China.
Such action, they say, would bring the
whole subject of secret treaties versus
open diplomacy" squarely up for final
decision before the peace conference.
The presidents course in Paris is
understood to have undergone one
fundamental change. It is stated by
his friends that he is prepared now
to remain in Paris and cattle to the
end for what he believes is the right
settlement. Instead of being ready to
quit the conference if his views do
not prevail, he will remain on the spot
and fight it out. it is believed. 1t is
now the official conviction that the
president spoke out on the Fiume
question to pave the way for an an
nouncement of Japans contentious.
Should the present Wilson. Clemen-
ceau, Lloyd George alignment prevail
as regard Japan the same as regards
Italy, the conference would develop a
new and clearly defined issue with the
Japs and Italians fighting for the
cause of annexations against the
western worlds advocacy of new di-
plomacy.'
On the eve of the allied meeting
with German peace delegates it de-
velops, according to information here
that there is continued difficulty in
arriving at solution of the problem
of collecting indemnities from Ger
