Oklahoma City—Aa tbe result of
the action of the board of state school
land commissioners early November
2 in dlroctlug the secretary, John It.
Williams, to deposit $800,000 In Its
hutids in banks that would accept
i current oklahoma warrants at par. no
trouble was experienced In gelling
'one hundred cents on-the dollar in
' gold for every salary warrant held in
Oklahoma City.
At least three banks In Ol,lahoma
City, the Tradesmen's State, the State
Exchange and the Ounranty hank,
were paying cash for all current war-
rants presented, and in fact, the r.tll-
clala of the State Exchange bank tel-
t ephonod to a lar^. number of Iba
s afe offices th;• t more slate vrnnnn1 ■
were desired. The relief is not ->nly |
temporary, for arrangement* have
been made so that tiie siMM$lc$|
Issues will have Immediate market at I
par.
The parsing of the resolution was)
all 'hat was done, so far as any ac-
tual stepB taken, was concerned, for
althoueh the state school land fund
bas not been transferred as yet, th« i
action of tTTo board seemed to bo
sufficient. It is probable, however, !
that if it Is necessary, Sicretary John
R. Williams, will transfer some of tbe
money on hand. In the near future,
and he now has authority to use every
cent of It in upholding the state's
credit.
The board of state school land com
missloners, consisting of (JOverno-
Lee Cruce, President fj. T. Bryan of
the state b< ard of agriculture, Secie
tarv of Slate Men F. Harrison, and
State Auditor Leo Meyers, met in the
governor's office. State Superinten-
dent of fublic instruction R. H. Wil-
son, who ts out of the city, being
the only absentee. A short discus-
sion ensued after which the board
adopted the following resolution:
"Be it* resolved that the secretary
of the board, until otherwise ordered
by this board, be directed to accept
as security for deposits for funds jii I
der Ihe control of this department, '
only state warrants, and that so >°ar
as it may be necessary to protect tbe
credit of the state and keep warrants
Issued for the current year's ex-
penses at par, that he be authorized
to give preference to warrants drawn
for the fiscal year of 1911. and that 1
banks which are now holding funds :
secured by surety bonds be notified
of this action, and that money in such
banks will be first drawn upon unless
they substitute the security required
by this resolution."
After the resolution had been
adopted State Treasurer Robert Dun-
lop was called ln and apprised of tbe
board's action. He stated that be
tnougbt ii was a good thing, but that j
he could not see his way clear to
make any change in the manner of
handling tne funds in his hands. In-
cidentally, the question of whether
the stale 'reasurer or the board of
school land commissioners should
handle the school funds is now before
tbe supreme court for decision.
•The credit of the state will be
taken care of without calling on the
state treasurer," said (iovernor Lee
Cruce "The action of the board was
unanimous and it was the opinion of
tne uiciiiuera of the board that it is
the duty of the state officials to look
after the Interests of the people, abead
of tbe intersts of the banks."

There were a total of 143 fires for

ing a loss of $2,050. Deducting the

Roddy had been working for tbe

obtain work elsewhere, and that
members of the union declared that
If he'went Into court and secured

In spite of these threats he sued for

UNCLE SAIS
EVE IS BUSY
STEADILY DIRECTED TOWARD
ALLEGED WHEAT CORNER
CAUSES MARKED FLURRY
It la Charged That Sixty Per Cent of
Supply Is Held By One Clique
- Federal Agents Are Inves-
tigating Rumor
Chicago—Any man or set of men
who buy so much grain that the price
is held out of line or out of' reach
of buyers may be considered as act-
ing In restraint of trade. That is the
basis upon which. In the opinion of
President Merrill of the Chicago
board of trade, Washington agents
are orking in tjie investigation ol
an alleged corner In wheat centered
at Chicago and extending from Du-
luth and Minneapolis to the seaboard.
Although declaring that no Investi-
gation of the board of trade Itself Is
under way. to the best of his under-
standing, Mr. Merrill said:
"I do know that tho federal agents
who were in La Salle street Thursday
went to tlie northwestern market* on
Wednesday. This makes it look an
If the department of justice at Wash
Ington considered there was some
understanding between big wheal
owners here and at other large cen
ters. So far as the board of trade
as an organization is concerned, all
is serene."
Humors were current that a former
stenographer of the weight master's
office of the board had given evidence
to the government. According to re
porta. Ihe source of which was not
disclosed, 60 per cent of the country s
wheat lupply is controlled by an 11
legal Combination of speculators and
17,000,000 bushels of the total hold-
ings of the clique are in Chicago
grain elevators.
Threats that warehouse receipts fo.
millions of bushels ln store here might
be seized as evidence in a conspiracy
had a paralyzing effect on the ex-
change. The last few minutes of
trading the market broke nearly 2
renta from top figures and closed
in a whirl of excited selling within
1-4 cunt of the lowest point of the
day, 95 3-8c for December.
A statement was made that the
Armour drain company, perfected a
deal by which millions of bushels
were transferred to a group of mlll-
Ine lntes Fts. fhe millers. It was eald,
being allowed to receive the grain
from the Armour warehouse when
convenient.
One theory Is that the government
proceedings were originally started
with a view to heading off such a
mammoth transaction.
Can Do Business In New York
Oklahoma City -In preparation for

Southern Surety company of Musko-
gee, through J. H. Huckleberry of St.
Louis, made an additional deposit of
$150,000 in real estate mortgages and
approved bonds with the state insur-
ance department. This raises the
total amount on deposit by the South,

is tbe umount required by the New

Is now operating In nineteen different

he embodied bis findings In an artlcl*
for the Hard.vars Reporter. This ar-

farmers.
Tbe writer speaks of tho Importance
of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of tbe Importance of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop, as well
as bariey. Winter whrat during the
past few years bas been a great suo-
ccss, and experiments have shown
that It can be grown with success in
almost any portion of tbe three prov-
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. Rut apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who bas bad anything
to do with markets, knows or haa
beard of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article —
"In a it nd of euch great sw eep, and
of such diilerence ln soli and climate,
there are many resources, but nonn
ere at present of the satne overwhelm-
ing Importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the Interminable prairie

It Is the one absorbing topic of Inter-
est arid of conversation during Its
growing and its harvesting, for upon
Its success or failure bungs the v eal
or woe of a large part of tbe Domin-
ion. Its Influence extends far down
Into tt.e United States, drawing thou-
rr.'.ds of farmers northwards with th*
«ure of cheap lands, but likewise be-
youd the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling th*
flower of their young men to its oj>-
portunltles. Development In these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres-
sure for everything hangs on the out-
come of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all-
Important crop, and each year ther*

were regarded as Arctic wastes. Th*
Canadian Northwest seems to be on*

coffin <j! that ancient Malihuslan de-
lusion that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, since th*
only fear now among Canadian econ-
omists Is as to tbe danger of over-
stocking tbe wheat market. Only
sbout two and one-half per cent of
possible arable lands In the northwest
provinces Is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200.000.000 bushels, SO
that your Imagination and your aritb-
\ luetic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out*
come."
During the months of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production of a Sen million
yield of wheat will not likeiy be real-
ized, but even with this, the threshing
