JULYWHEAT SOARS 9 CENTS; LAIS FLEECED Chicago, July 31 (AP) Spec ulators paid dearly today for the privilege of selling wheat without having first got actual ownership. Before they could settle July ac counts today, wheat available for July delivery here went soaring nine eonta above yesterday's clos ing price, and touched $1.66 a bu-hnl. In the News Spotlight 4 0 ifftiMflftfrtf i)!1 Chicago July 31 Opening wheat prices unrhnnged to 3 cents high er, September $1.50 to $1.51 end December $1.62 to $1.52 14 were followed by something of a sag and then by fretd. upturns all around.

Tobacco Crop May Be Large For 1925 tobacco farmers have expressed an intention to plant 10 per cent more acreage than in 1924, according1 to the observers for the Sears-Koebuck Agricultural Index for July. An average yield on such an acreage would mean the third largest crop on record. At present, however, growth is behind nnd the stands are irregular. Prices for some types of tobacco are higher than a year ago, the Foundation finds, while others are lower. Burley prices have de clined as a result of good yields in previous years and large ac cumulations. The last crop of export types was small and stocks have been sold at better prices as a result of crop damage last year, in spite of some decline in demand. Since the two-cent decline in the general tobacco market a year ago, prices have held remark ably steady.

The Southern Pa cific has made application to the Interstate commerce commission for authority to extend its line southward through the Malin and Merrill territory forty miles to Cor nell, Cal. The Southern Pacific which has acquired all the common stock of the Nevada-California-Oregon railway is subject to the ap proval of the interstate commerce commission has to broad-gauge the entire line into Lakeview. Acquire Stvnhorii Line Second the Strahorn line (the O. C. and E.)) if the taking over of an interest in this system Is ap proved by the commission, will within six months after their ap proval, be made part and parcel of the Southern Pacific system so far as rate making is concerned; Mr. Strahorn having concurred this plan. "Third, through the applications made and such othor applications as are necessary the interstate commerce commission will be ask ed for authority to crente a line through from Klamath Falls to connect with the Central Pacific, giving a route via Ogden that will be reasonably direct and avoid the present longer haul through Weed; and upon approval of the commission we will promptly un dertake the construction of this line and build It within the time sot by the commission. "Our study .of the territory to be served, construction costs, and operating conditions are not yet complete, but we will complete these Investigations within rea sonable time and upon their com pletion wilt announce the route to tho east to be taken to connect with the Central Pacific. No Cut Off Planned "Fourth, we have been asked whether or not there is any pros pect that a cut-off between the Natron line and the Strahorn line at Williamson river would be con structed In the event we took over the Strahorn line, thereby placing Klamath Falls off the direct thru route from Ogden to the enst via the Central Pacific. It has not at any time been given any consid eration. "In fact, the suggestion did not come from us nor do we know who suggested such a route. "Fifth, if our applications are approved we will locate our ter minal for thu district at Klamath Falls. This Involves a very consid erable payroll at Klamath Falls which will be Increased aa our traf fic grows. This terminal would be located within six or eight miles of the center of the city. V wish to get as close in as mny be prac ticable, but It is impossible at this time to name a more specific loca tion. "Alt these plans and promises are ns definite ns we can make them Just at this time and are, of course, predicted upon the assump tion that our applications are ap proved by the commission, without destructive competition and the support of Klamath Falls for our program Is approved. "Supplementing , the foregoing statement of our work as planned it will be noted that not only will Klamath Falls become a consider able railroad center but that through our lines will be able to reach substantially all of the mar kets of the United States for its products with direct service. Lo cally, It will be connected with all Its tributary regions where railway service can be Justified. It will be on a mnin trunk line between north Pacific const points and California EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1 Retail prices of Milk will prevail as follows Milk - Gallons (bulk) 40c quarts - l2c l'ints 7c Half Pints i , 5c Commercial Cream Gallons (bulk) : $2.30 Quarts 6t: Pints . 32c Half Pints 16c Quarter Pints 9c Whipping Cream Gallons (bulk) $3.00 Quarts 85c Pints 41c Half Pints 22c Quarter Pints 12c Skim Milk- Gaiions (bulk).... l.rc Quarts 5c Butter Milk- Gaiions (bulk)... 25c Quarts 0c Wholesale prices to restaurants and bakeries: Three gallons and over will be at the rate of 32c for milk and bulk commercial cream will be sold at $1.50 per gallon KAFOURY'S GREAT JULY STORE -WIDE CLEARANCE SALE Will Come To An End Saturday, Aug. 1, 6 p. m.
