BRITAIN TO PROTEST
GRANTS TO j. S. FIRMS
Subject Will be Aired at Approaching
Lausanne Peace
Conference

London.-Great Britain purposes en-
tering an energetic protest against the
granting by the Turkish nationalist
of certain concession in Anatolia to the
American interests headed by Rear
Admiral Colby NJ. Chester, If these
concessions are found to embrace the
Mosul oil fields, 1t has been declared
here.
In view of the official protest al
ready made by France against these
commitments to Americans as being
In contravention of the Franco-Turkish
railway and ports agreement of 1914,
1t Is considered certain the whole sub
ject will be aired at the approaching
peace conference in Lausanne.
How far the Washington govern
ment can discreetly identify itself with
the project is regarded here as prob
lematical, inasmuch as the Angora
governments action in awarding these
concessions to Americans after they
are alleged to have been given pre-
viously, at least in part, to other coun-
tries, undoubtedly will raise issues
calling for international settlement.

I Washington.-A tentative valuation
of S395, 353, 655 was fixed recently by
the interstate commerce commission on
the Great Northern Railroad system,
the largest railroad property yet to be

inclusive of these holdings, had placed
its total valuation at S6O7, 1885, 400. The
corporation valued its own railroad at
1884, 273,S53, which was slightly less
than he valuation by the commission.
The largest part of the securities
held by the Great Northern consists of
half interests in the stock of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad,
which the Great Northern owns Jointly
with the Northern Pacific, and against

RHUBARB, ONE Of
The BEST DISHES
Favorite Plant Thrives Best in
Sections Where the Ground
Freezes Solid.

In our grandmothers' time rhubarb
vas generally referred to as "pie-
plant" because it constituted the fll-
ng for the first fresh pies in the spring
Of the year. Stewed rhubarb or rhu-
barb sauce is one Of the finest dishes
that grace u tables in the early
spring time, and enormous quantities
IF the fresh stalks are marketed
throughout the northern and eastern
states.
Rhubarb does not do well in the
South, but thrives best in sections
where the ground freezes hard and
solid during the winter.
Five to ten hills of rhubarb will sup
ply the ordinary family, says the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
but it Is always desirable to plant n
few extra hills for good measure. The
plants may be set either in the late
fall or the early spring, but no stems
should be pulled the first year, and
very few the second year. After the
second year the plants will increase In
vigor, but finally get too thick and the
stems become small after six or seven
years. When this happens the roots,
or a part of them should be dug up
and divided and the best pieces used
for a new planting.
Rhubarb should be planted at one
side Of the home garden. but requires

newed buying of Cuban raws by Eu-
ropean and Canadian interests. This
brought the domestic refiners into the
market and a considerable business
was reported.
