ot twenty indues pturday ut'.X S f Avfrage of forty bonds was 97.45. off Q~bulletin Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 31.-Lmted States Steel common stock reached new high ground on the Stock Exchange today at 175*4. P U 4 from Saturday's closing price. Bn United Press NEW YORK, May 31. —Stocks on the New York Stock Exchange began the week strong with several substantial increases noted in the industrial and railroad sections. International Nickel was an early feature, rising nearly 4 points to a new high ground. General Motois was up fractionally, white U. S. lost a shade. W News developments over the weekend were entirely constructive. They included an indicated revenue surplus of 600,000.000 this year and the suggestion of a $300,000,000 tax cut next year offering by the Treasury of $200,000,000 treasury bonds at 3% per cent, the lowest rate in some time to redeem with surplus government funds $378,000,000 short term certificates maturing June 15, and reports from Youngstown of an upturn in steel mill operations. Noon Developments Stocks responded to these developments showing a confident tone. Reading and Wabash rose to new highs at 122% and 76% respectively. International Nickel was up over 3 points, 74%. This stock opened Monday on the Montreal market at 74%. Rumors that another big increase in brokerage loans would be reported after the close by the Federal Reserve Bank encouraged bearish professionals to try for reaction in the general list around noon. These efforts were frustrated, however. by continuation of enthusiastic buying stimulated by the constructive character of the treasury financing program which emphasized confidence. prevailing in authoritative quarters regarding the outlook for sustained ease in the credit situation. Saturday’s Surplus Banks called $20,000,000 in loans ■fcarly, but this development was recognized as incident to the heavy interest and dividend disbursements • scheduled for tomorrow, estimated at approximately $500,000,000. In view of the' surplus of more than $70,000,000 shown in Saturday's clearing house statement, compared with-a-deficit of $21,000,000 In the previous week, it was felt that these payments would be taken care of without unsettlement and that the return flow of this money would be followed by restoration of the 4 per cent call rate in a few days.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. May 31.—Intimations that Cuban producers plan to flood the world sugar market next year and undersell competitors, make the most interesting reading we have had in weeks with regard to the sugar industry. The story is that American tariff policies as they apply to Cuban sugar, displease the producers there. It seems to me the market is prepared to withstand any selling which such a story might cause, but I would advise confining purchases for the time being to reees--sions.

NORTHWEST TO BECOME OUR MECCA Bu United Press NEW YORK. May 31.—The Pacific Northwest is destined to be the future center of world prosperity and culture according to a survey of the “scientific probabilities" made by Dr. J. Russell Smith, professor of economic georgraphy at Columbia University. Discussing his conclusions in an interview published by the American Magazine, Dr. Smith explains: “The more one studies the factors that have produced flourishing civilizations, the more unbounded becomes his confidence in the future of the area extending 400 miles along the Pacific coast of Oregon and Washington, and including the cities of Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Evebett, Bellingham, Vancouver and Victoria. "Basing my assertion on past history and on economic and industrial conditions of today, it is here that I expect American cilization to reacii its maximum. I expect this area to outstrip New York, overcoming soon the advantage which the metropolis has had of an early start. “In the Northwest of which I speak, I anticipate that, man. for man, Americans will eventually realize their greatest achievement, almost certainly their greatest physical achievement, perhaps their highest mental achievement in science, literature and the arts.” 1 *One Drink* Tickets Cause Liquor Arrest Did you get your ticket?

WHEAT ADVANCES BEYOND 2 CENIS ON CH|CAGO MART Bullish Tone in Accord With Foreign Grain Centers Monday. Bu United Press CHICAGO. May 31—Sentiment In wheat continued decidedly bullish on the strength shown yesterday in Winnipeg and on the sharp advance at Liverpool today, and prices on the Chicago Board of Trade continued skyrocketing, opening 1% to 2Vi higher than the previous close. However, part of the gains were soon lost on selljng brought on by the decided improvement in weather conditions over the American and Canadian grain belts. A highly nervous market with sharp fluctuations is looked for unless the weather takes a change for the worse. The visible supply statement is expectoed Jo show a reduction of around 2,0 0,000 bushels. Corn opened unchanged to *sc lower and declined further during early trading, better weather over the belt being the main bearish factor. Although the, season is several weeks late, it is quite generally believed a fair crop can be produced with the proper quality of seed corn. Oats showed more strength than corn and opened unchanged to lc higher. The season for oats is later than for corn and a marked decrease in acreage is predicted.

MOST ABLE Ml AS CITY MANAGER (Continued From Pago 1) to the main consideration of giving the people, as a whole, the sort of streets, police and fire protection, parks and playgrounds, community houses, health protection, health education, hospital program and other varied municipalities that they need. Not on Machinery The city manager form of government will place the emphasis on administration, rather than upon the machinery of getting elected. The biggest stake in city politics at present is the question, which of several groups of politicians shall be in power. The service under our various political groups as now constituted does not differ very much. The municipal politician is an expert in only one field, namely, how to get elected. He has to spend so much time, energy and money getting elected, and has to be so adroit in his technique of personal preferment, as respects elections, that he can he expected to know little or nothing about what to do after he gets into office. “The city manager movement will, by virtue of the bloodless revolution which it represents, give us a municipal personnel that can be expected to know something about how to operate government. The hope lies in the prospect that succeeding administrations will demonstrate the attractiveness of this type of government to a large proportion of the voters, and will be permitted to concentrate on the actual service that city government implies. One of the features that will help in electing good people is the short ballot. The present city ballot is so long and complicated that intelligent choices are almost impossible. No Significance “It has been suggested that going back to the convention system of nominations would help to solve this problem but the convention system is hased upon party organization. Party organization has no significance for municipalities. The contrast is not between the philisophy or personnel of one political party as opposed to another. The contrast is between those who believe in the spoils system in all parties and those in all parties who believe in the service system. “The manager form involves a concentration of responsibility which makes it more difficult for responsibility to be avoided and the public confused as to the place in which the real responsibility lies. In addition to all of these important considerations. the manager form means the introduction of professional service into municipal affairs. We depend on professional service for our effectiveness of engineering, medicine, law, social work and scientific progress." Winfield Miller will speak tonight before the Butlcr-Fairview Civic Club at the Fairview Presbyterian Church. Charles F. Coffin, executive chairman, will discuss the manager movement tonight before Modern Woodmen at 322 E. New York St.

Off Front Page The young American aviator found himself crowded off the front pages yesterday for the first time since he dropped down on Le Bourget Field, Paris, a week ago last : Saturday. Public interest in the i Derby and the British government's action in sending warships to 1 Egypt, caused two out of three London afternoon newspapers'to relegate him to inside pages. Lindbergh suffered here his second public feminine emhrace since he reached Europe when a pretty woman of 30 dashed from the crowd and thrw her arms around the 25- | year-old flier as he walked from the American embassy to a waiting motor car with Ambassador Houghton. Lindbergh dodged her kiss. He told newspapermen he had d< finitely cancelled his proposed trip to Sweden and said that when he left London he would fly to Paris and embark from France for America. Lindbergh will be the guest of Lord Lonsdale at the Derby tomorrow.

He described Lindbergh as follows: “He is the pilot who has broken the world's record and a worthy representative of our dose friends and war allies, the pilots of the United States. He is a young man who embodies the spirit of adventure which lights up the world with a flash of courage and daring and I am glad to say with success." The iunrheon guests included virtually all the leading air officials of London. Including the air council, comprising Sir Samuel, Sir Philip Sassoon, Air Force Marshal Sir Hugh Trenchard, Air Vico Marshal Sir John Higgins and Sir Walter Nicholson.

Attends Commons Captain Lindbergh visited the House of Commons today with Lord and Lady Astor and was introduced to the English tea. habit while there. "Well done, laddie." said David Kirkwood, Laborite, who is one of the most outspoken of the extremists labor members, “you have done something worth while which few of us can say." As the party walked through a corridor. Sir Martin Conway, M. P., and a famous Alienist, came along. “What’s all the fuss about?" asked Sir Martin. “There’s a chap who has just flown across the channel." replied Lady Astor, jokingly. "Really?” replied Sir Martin and passed on having failed to recognize Lindbergh. Visits Baldwin United States Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton was at Southampton preparing to board a liner for a brief vacation in tffic United States, and Sterling, charge d'affaires, accompanied Lindbergh. Lindbergh also paid a brief visit to Premier Baldwin at No. 10 Downing St. Jt was after this that he was received by the Prince of Wales. The audience with the King lasted about twenty minutes. King George always has been interested in flying. His majesty questioned Lindbergh fully about the' trans-Atlantic flight and his eyes lighted with admiration for the daring and stamina of the hero whose lithe figure towered above the ruler of Sr empire covering a quarter of the globe's land area. The difference in height necessitated Lind-

WEE ROCKY CREEK EQUALLY SQUARE TOBOTHOGEANS Aspiring Catfish May Cross U. S. in Only Continuous Water. CHEYENNE. Wyo., May 31 Eight thousand feet up in the Rockies, riding astride the Continental Divide, is a tiny creek that play3 fair to both oceans. Jim Bridger, grizzled scout and trapper, wandering in a Wyoming valley nearly a century ago, found this fair little stream that believes In dividing its crystal waters fiftyfifty between the Atlantic and Pacific. Part (o Ear’i Part of this impartial creek goes bouncing out of a canyon toward the Pacific; part of it rushes to the Mississippi and even now may be lapping at the roofs of submerged houses in the flooded Mississippi valley. Nearly a million Americans hate visited Yellowstone Park in the last eight years. But probably not a thousand of them know that a few miles south of the park babbles TwoOcean Creek. Joining the Atlantic and Pacific by water. In .Mountain Ridge The creek rises in a mountain i idge south of the park boundary and bounces out of its narrow canyon into a timbered delta of rocks at the head of a V-shaped valley which slopes gently toward each ocean. The canyon in which the creek ts born slopes southwestward straight as an arrow toward Pacific creek and the Snake River beyond, as if Mother Nature confidently intended its waters to seek the great Columbia and the western sea. Overflowed Channel But one day the boisterous littlo creek overflowed its channel. A new torrent darted southeast, eating out a terraced path around the bar.'> of the mountain. Then bewildered, the ei rant half of Two-Ocean creek was whisked away into the descending valley of Atlantic creek, destined for the Yellowstone, the MissouriMississippi and the Gulf of Mexico.
