The dock commission has power to so build public docks that they may be used for recreation purposes, ccordlng to an opinion which has-been submitted to the commission by (he city attorney, But the expense of equipping the docks snd piers for recreational use should be borne out of the park depart ment fund, continues the opinion. In other words, the dock commission has no authority to divert the money appro prlated by the people for dock purposes and. use it for recreation purposes. But It has power to so plan its docks that the use for recreation purposes when otherwise financed will give the struc tures an added value to tne community. The dock commission Is reminded that on Its own motion It made provision for a recreation pier at the foot of Stark street, and that similar action In re spect to other docks is just as possible to the commission. When the opinion, which was asked for by the dock commission, says that the park department funds should be drawn on for equipment, part of the decision la passed to tho commissioner of public affairs.

VERY HOT AND DRY IN KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA Missouri Has Two Hour Storm Today That Revives Her Crops. (Doited I'rets Letted Wire.) Chicago, Aug. 11 Rain storms which began last night were general through out Iowa today, nearly three Inches fall ing at Des Moines. It is now believed that the corn crop in Iowa will be about 78 per cent of a normal yield, possibly better. The fruit crop also has been partially saved by the downpour, and the apple crop will be about 75 per cent of normal. ' Two and one-third inches of rain fell at Cedar Rapids, one inch at Boone and two and one-fourth at Marshalltown. Rains In the corn belt of Nebraska Saturday, Sunday and early .today have Insured a good yield Of late corn but the early crop will be only about 40 per cent of normal. Cool weather was general throughout Nebraska today. High temperatures and drouth con ditions still prevailed today throughout Kansas and Oklahoma, but relief la promised soon. The situation Is most serious, and light showers have afford ed little relief. The temperature every, where in Kansas today exceded 100 de grees. Missouri's corn belt was visited by a two hours' rainstorm today, which served to revive the crop and pastur age. Corn Prices Drop. (Specltl to Tbt Journtl.) Chicago. Aug. 11.

At Omsha cash corn prices lost 1 l-2c a bushel today, Peoria lost l-2c, and IS. Louis l-2c a bushel as a result of the general showers. The reported showers caused a stam pede ot corn bull Interests and profit taking aoon brought a sharp reaction in prices, although there was little change torM.aated Jwre .-.--. After the first spell of dlixlneis the market righted itself for futures on ths presumption that the rains have come at such a late date that real Im provement In the crop can at best be only slight. Most of the damage hss already been done, according to those in charge of the recent bull campaign in the corn market, and it is too late for the crop to make any substantial recov ery this season.

The ex-senator has been busy since his term expired In working out his plan as chairman of a special committee, continued by authority of congress. He arrived in Portland yesterday. His plan involves a vast issue of government 3 per cent bonds, the pro ceeds of which shall be furnished the individual states in jeturn for an equal face value of 4 per cent state road bonds which shall be deposited with the secre tary of the treasury. The difference between the 3 and 4 per cents, he plans, will take up the principal in fifty years, so in that period the state bonds may be redeemed. In addition, the govern ment and the individual states are to co-operate on maintenance, each contri buting 2 per cent of the total bonds. 'The plan is meeting indorsement all over the country," declared Mr. Bourne this morning. "I have thousands of letters of approval and by the time the committee's prescribed work is ended March 4 next, I hope the bill either will have been well on the way to passage or else be returned to the committee for the Incorporation of Ideas suggested by the members of congress.
