n. D. WHEAT GROWER
GIVES OPINION OF
PRESENT SITUATION

N. s. Blair, one Of the directors of
the North Dakota Wheat Growers as
ISOLATION, who has spent the past six
weeks at the sales agency Of the or
g~anlzation at Minneapolis. returned
this morning. He will remain in the
city for a couple Of weeks and will
then return to the Twin Cities.
Movement Of grain has been very
slow, however, he said, as the short
$50 OF rolling stock on the railways
has prevented the usual flow to tenn
inal points. This factor has had a
tendency to stiffen the! prices, and has
created an active demand from in
terror mills, which have been buying
literally.
The closing Of navigation on the
lakes will probably cause a slight re-
action, Mr.. Blair predicted, as it will
check movement east, and the sur
plus at both Minneapolis and Duluth
may weaken the price 10 some ex-
tent.
The export demand has not been
brisk of late, it was said, but that the
scramble OF exporters to fill May and
June orders for September and Octo-
her deliveries has beer a contributing
factor in the recent raise in prices.

Tho crop reporting board each
month calls in two members Of the

An which the report Is issued. every
precaution being taken to prevent the
leakage of information before it is
ready for wide and simultaneous cir
culation. The reporting board re-
mains behind locked doors while

and no one is admitted to the room
except Secretary of Agriculture Henry
C. Wallace, who visits the room to
sign the report when It is completed.
The Chicago board OF trade remains
inactive during the day until after
the report is issued.

being compiled are stationed repre-
sentatives Of the press and telegraph
companies. When copies OF the re-
port are taken to this room a copy Is
placed face down In front of each

of1cial in charge compels all to wait
until the appointed time. at which the
signal Is given, the copies are picked

There was another debate by the
members of Council over the method
of assessing property, the members
claiming that in many cases the as
sessments made this year were entire
~ too low. 1t was decided to get the
opinion of the City Solicitor as to the
best method to pursue to compel the
assessors to make more equitable as
sessments. 1t was proposed to have
the assessors make a house-to-house
canvass in making up their assess
ments if that could be done legally.
No action was taken pending a de-
cision from the City Solicitor.
Raymond Smith has been named as
a member of the Board of Health.
This appointment was made by Mayor
Charles E. c. Steelman. Council has
elected Frank Pfeiffer as a member
of the body to take the place made
vacant by the resignation of Forrest
Hyatt, who was recently appointed
Chief of Police.
The members of Council decided to
request the Atlantic County Board of
Freeholders to place an electric light
at the intersection of Main street and
New Jersey venue. In the absence
of a light there many accidents have
narrowly been avoided. This is a
county road junction and is used ex-
tensively by automobiles, and also is
a point where the Suburban trolley
cars turn. The Freeholders will also
be requested to place a light On Main
street just below George street, where
there is a bad turn in the county road.

SPECIAL SERVICES SUNDAY.

Special services will be held both
morning and evening on Sunday at St
Johns Methodist Protestant Church
on Doughty Road. AT the morning
service, at 1890 a. M, there will be
baptism of children, special music by
the new choir, and the pastor, Rev
George w. Toms, Jr., will preach a
special Children's Day sermon from
the subject, Our Children"
Elaborate plans have been made for
the evening service, and all who can
attend will be assured of a very in
teresting and profitable evening. A
fine program of recitations, exercises
and songs by the children of the Sun
day School will be given. Mrs. Toms
and Mrs. Deiling have been busy drill
ing them for the past three weeks,
with Mrs. Howell assisting with the
music. The choir will also help with
special music. The last part of the
program will be a series of mission
airy %tableauX, under the direction OF
Rev. Toms. These will depict a mod
ern churchman who does not believe
in missions. He states his views and
then falls asleep, and the tableaux
that follows give his dream, and he
awakens at the-close a convert to mis-
sions. These are exceptionally good
and it will pay all who can to be pres
ent to see them.

RILEY Shows Close
This Saturday Night
Hundreds of People Attracted
Here During Week of
Carnival Festivities.

Closing a week of festivities here
under the auspices of the Chamber oil
Commerce, the Matthew j. Riley
Shows will finish the engagement this
Saturday evening. During the week
many hundreds OF people were attract.
ed to the city to witness the eXhibi.
tons and enjoy the many attractions
presented. Stormy weather a good
part of the time kept many other hun
dreds of people away who would
otherwise have visited the city dur
ing the carnival week.
The carnival was started here with
the idea of raising money for two
purposes, to give the Chamber OF
Commerce a fund to be used for the
general advertising of the city
throughout the year, and to provide
a part of the money necessary to give
the city a community athletic field
There was considerable expense at
tached to bringing the many attrac
tions here, and because of the storms
of the week there may not be a large
sum realized when the expenses are
all met. However, the Chamber OF
Commerce will probably decide to
have some similar event each year
and in the meantime provide some
other means whereby the community
field fund can be raised.
The committee in charge of the
carnival desire to thank all those who
assisted in any way to make it a sue
cess, and especially those who assist
ed in bringing SO many out-of-town
people here during the week. The
committee desires especially to thank
those merchants who decorated theiI
business houses during the week.

Asks The County Board of FreehoLders to Place New Electric Lights

Because of the great amount of au-

Suburban Trolley Company will be re-
quested to have their cars stop on
New Jersey venue going north in
stead of turning into Main street be-
tore making the stop. This company
vii, also be requested to grant the
privilege of the city police riding on
its cars within the city limits with
cut having to pay fare.
County Engineer Nelson submitted
a resolution to City Council, asking
that in future all gasoline filling sta
tions be located at some point off the
highways as a safeguard to the tray-
cling public. This resolution was
adopted.
A petition signed by a large num-
Der of property owner was submitted
TO Council asking for the improve
ment of Launch avenue, Miller ave-
nue and kapolla avenu On tbs
petition the name of John Miller, a
member of Council, appeared about
three times, as he is the owner of
that many properties on the
asked to be improved. Some of the
members took exception to his sign
ing more than once on the petition.
The matter of the grading of First
and Eighth streets was discussed by
Council during the meeting. Contrao1
tor Martin V. B. Soul said that he
was going to start the work as soon
as the City Engineer set the proper
grade stakes, and that the work would
probably begin about the Goth of this
month.

Oil Burning Boats
Pollutimg the Ocean
Efforts Will Be Made to Have
Legislation Enacted to Pre-
vent Dumping Oil in Water.

Since the advent of the Gil burning
steamships and the many oil carriers
that travel the coastal waters of New
Jersey the waters have become SO
much polluted by the oil, tar and re-
fuse from the ships that legislation is
10 be sought to abate the nuisance il
possible.
Another concerted effort to push
yer legislation to bring to a halt the
practice of pollution will be made at
Atlantic City this summer, when rep
resentatiyes from fifty-five municipal
ties from all sections of the Atlantic
Seaboard are expected to assemble
and begin organization on an Associa-
ton of Atlantic Seaboard Municipal
ties.
The conference has been called by
Charles p. Gillen, commissioner Of
the city of Newark and president Of
the New Jersey State League Of MI
inequalities.
Last summer the bathing beaches
of Atlantic City and other coast re
sorts were polluted to such an extent
that bathing was often attended by
the d~isagreeable experience of having
the tar and oil stick to the bathers
bodies and clothing to such an extent
that many people refused to enter the
cean.
Already this season the nuisance is
apparent. This week owners of Hotels
and cottages at Wildwood prepared a
protest to be forwarded to State and
Federal authorities against the pui-
sance of the oil burning and oil carry
ing craft cleaning their bunkers and
dumping oil off the coast. Many bath
ers last Sunday found it necessary to
use gasoline after their dip in the
ocean to cleanse themselves from the
oil and tar. The Delaware River is
covered with a coating of oil most of
the time anywhere from the ferry
crossings down to the Delaware Bay.
Shad fishing has been almost destroy
ed and oystermen at Maurice River
and other places fear that their indus
try will be ruined if the practice of
dumping oil in the water is continued.
