as FARM RELIEF BILLS TO POP UP ON BOTH SIDES OF CONGR 5, Leaders See President and Mc- Nary Announces He Will Report Old Measure Washington, March 9.—(#)—The legislative program of the coming special session and the question whether farm relief legislation should originate in the house or senate was - Placed before President Hoover, to- day, by leaders of both branches of congress. Chairman McNary, of the senate agricultural committee, and Chair- man Snell, of the house rules com- " mittee, called at the white house to ascertain Mr. Hoover's views, and it developed that both house and senate propose to have a farm bill ready for consideration when the special ses- sion convenes, April 15. ij Mitpaat ig) Snell ore ee bic legislative program o! ouse first of all, farm relief, then the tariff and later, if a measure is passed by the senate, congressional reapportion- ment. He predicted that the house would dispose of farm relief within a week, Chairman McNary said he expected his committee also to have a farm bill drawn up by the beginning of the special session and he predicted, too, that his branch of congress could dis- Pose of it in a week. The senator said that hearings would be initiated shortly, with the bill which he intro- duced at the last session of congress as_a basis of discussion. This measure, which failed of ac- tion, provided for the establishment of a large federal revolving fund to assist cooperative marketing and, in many respects, was similar to the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill, except that the equalization fee had been eliminated. The view of the administration, as unofficially made known, is that the house should devote itself, first of all, to the tariff; since such legislation must originate there, with the senate meanwhile considering a farm meas- ure. The purpose of the plan is to en- able both branches of congress: to make the best of their time. It was made known at the meeting that Mr. Hoover's proposed law en- forcement commission would not be finally selected for at least a month, although it was explained that this was not to be construed as meaning the president will not approach Prospective members within that time. It was indicated that the American Bar association and similar national organizations might be requested to make recommendations as to the per- sonnel of the group. Its size has not yet been determined, but it was indi- cated that it. probably..would have nine. members. U_ Students. Select Popular Professors Grand Forks, N. D., March 9.—Stu- dents at the Univerity of North Da- kota Tuesday will reverse the time- worn custom of picking representa- tive students from amongst their midst and ha ped select the eight moat represent fapulty members - The pot will be con- ducted by the Dakota Student, cam- pus newspaper, and results will be announced simultaneously throughout the state, according to Ross. W. Phipps, Cooperstown, editor. The faculty members will be rated, knowledge of subject material, per- sonality, popularity, and general serv- ice to the school. Pictures of the winners will appear in the Grand Forks Herald, The Dakota Student, and several Twin City papers will be furnished cuts. = The move by the Student is seen as @ parody on the recent eminence contest at the school when 16 stu- dents were. selected by the students, and then from that list a faculty committee chose eight for the “Who's of the Dacotah, City-County Briefs A.

LINDBERGH IS FLYING NEW AIR MAIL ROUTE Brownsville, Tex., March 9.—(?)— Col. Charles A.

California Searches ~for 7,500,000 Acres Sacramento, Calif., March 9.—(?)— Seven.and a half million acres of land is a sizeable plot to be lost, but a group of tracts aggregating this area have disappeared from the present records of the California land office. The missing ground was embraced in treaties signed in 1851 between United States agents and Indians. Under the settlement, the land was to be deeded in perpetuity to the Indians for cession: by them of practically the rest of the ground within the state. The United States senate failed to ratify the pact, consequently the In- dians did not gain title. With a compensation suit pending, the state surveyor general's office started to find the land but discovered the parcels were described in terms now obsolete. For instance, part. was set down as bounded by the north fork of two rivers which have since changed their course. Another tract was declared to abut the west bank of a river which:has since its name. Nor could'they find land ex- tending from a trail: unction now overrun by highways to a waterfall now dry.

FINANCIAL REVIEW New York, March 9.—(?)—High money rates thig week again cast a dark shadow over the stock market, which drifted downward in the first half of the week and then made ir- regular recovery, For the second time this year, call money went to 12 per cent. Nervousness was created by the high rates’ for money. Curiously, however, the market rallied briskly following the announcement of an in- crease of $140,000,000 in federal re- serve brokers’ loans, bringing the to- tal to within $20,000,000 of the record high for all time; and the statement of Paul Warburg, international bank- er, that federal reserve authorities had lost leadership of the money market to stock exchange operators, and that the present credit situation bears a painful resemblance to the events of 1919-21. Barring an extensive deflation of stock vilues, bankers see little hope of easier money rates for some time to come. Time money, bankers ac- ceptances and commercial paper rates are now in their highest levels in eight years, or more. With a normal spring expansion in commercial and agricultural demands likely, a gen- eral increase in federal reserve redis- count rates is regarded in many quar- ters as inevitable. To date, high money rates appar- ently have caused no diminution in business activity. Output of steel} Plants is between 90 and 95 per cent of capacity, automobile production is steadily increasing, the demand for copper continues heavy and current earnings reports, of most of the lead- ing industrial and‘railroad companies continue to make, favorable compari- son with last bon Radio issues the market fea- tures this week breaking sharply on Wednesday and then rallied on Friday to new high records for all time. Most of the copper stocks reached new high Ground during the week but all of the Gains were not maintained. . Intervals of strength ajso developed in the railroad, automotive, steel, oil Y groups but public interest appeared to be small. Durum futures held fairly Duluth May declined only 1-2 cent 43 the week, closing Friday at 1.08 Rye futures continued to fluctu- ate with wheat but the market tone was a shade firmer. No. 2 rye, cash, was 33 cehts under to 4 cents over May price, while Rosen:quality was quoted at 4 at 5 cents over. Minne- apolis May rye declined 1 3-4 cents re the week, closing Friday at 1.06 The oats and barley markets showed independent weakness dur- ing the week under influence of slow cash demand and reports of rather liberal farm reserve, Cash demand for oats was sluggish and there also was quiet inquiry in barley except for best malting. Minneapolis May oats declined 2 1-4 cents for the week, closing Friday at 46 1-2, while May barley declined 2 1-2 cents, closing at 66 1-8, Quotations on cash malting barley held about un- changed, while feed grades were ‘weak. Choice to fancy ‘malting was 70 at 71 cents; medium to malting . |64 at 69 and feed grades 59 at 63 cents, Flax declined early in the week along with wheat and failed to cov- er much of its loss despite moderate firmness in outside markets. A rath- er steady cash demand prevailed and the general premium range was un- changed to perhaps one cent lower. No. 1 flax was quotable at the close of the week at 4 cents under to 5 cents over May option. May declined 8 1-4 for the week to 2.49 1-4, ———. College Centennial in Hall Century Old Jacksonville, Ill.—(®)—The oldest college building in the state of Illinois will be the scene of Illinois college's centennial celebretion this year. Nine students were enrolled in the first class ever conducted in “Old Beecher,” erected in 1829. Under its historic roof William Jennings Bryan studied. It was there that William H. Herndon, Abraham Lincoln's law partner, received his college training. Not a student in Old Beecher’s first class ever had studied English gram- mar or geography before enrolling at Illinois college. The size of the building was doubled at a time when the college cared for 25 students. Women Eager to Ride Down 6-Foot Shafts Monson, Me.—(?)—Women, says Frank Cowan, night watchman at the great slate quarries here, are more eager than men to go down to the bottom of the 600-foot shafts. Three shafts descend 575, 675 and ‘100 feet respectively. They are sunk deeper in the earth than the distance most.skyscrapers reach skyward. And down at the ultimate d¢pths tunnels extend in» many directions. All are electrically lighted. 5 The women get their greatest thrill, perhaps, by descending on the same platform that is used by the miners.
