MARKETS
HARP ADVANCES III CORN MARKET
CHICAGO. Nov. 6. Sharp advances In the corn market today resulted on hogs $15.60 a hundred -weight. It was contended that such a minimum meant $1.30 a bushel for corn fed on the farm, and therefore meant a much higher level than has recently been paid for future deliveries at terminal markets. The action of the government regarding hog values led traders to Ignore fresh weakness In Wall street. Opening quotations, -which ranged from the same as Saturday's finish to 1-8 higher, with December $1.15, S-8 to $1.16 1-2 and May $1.00 to $1.11, were followed by a decided Jump all around. Oats swung upward with corn. The December option was especially firm. Activity and strength characterized provisions from the out set It was said the minimum price on bogs was higher than packers generally had expected, and that January deliveries of packing bouse products have been selling on a basis of hogs at $14.00.

Writers of "Home, Sweet Home.' The words of the popular song, "Home, Sweet Home," were written by John Howard Payne, an American roving actor, who was born in New York, 1791, and died in Africa in 1852, and never had much of a home anywhere. The music was written by Sir Henry Bishop, an English composer, born In 17S6 and died in 1855, who incorporated the song in an or ra entitled "Clari." The song was popular In England before It was ever heard In the United States.

This was caused by a waiver being filed by a person whose land was assessed, and afterwards the party filing the waiver paidthe assessment to the Treasurer without the knowledge of the Contrnllpr. When the Controller checked
up the payments to the contractor it was found that cash paid and bonds delivered to him exceeded the amount due by some $50.00. This was paid back upon demand by the Controller, to the proper party. Books Are Open. The matter of the issue of these bonds is easily understood and the books kept by the Controller are open to the public, and Mr. Kelley, by an honest effort of a few minutes, could have ascertained the truth if he desired to give the public a truthful statement of the facts. If Mr. Kelley will give this matter a few minutes attention he will find that there was no illegal issue of bands as stated by him in the sum of $16,000,000 or any other amount, and that not one cent was lost to the City on account of any bond issue during said term. After Mr. Kelley has ascertained the truth in the matter, I still believe he Is manly enough and honest enough to make a statement correcting his false
statement above quotea.

Had Plenty of Money In the way of finances, the Citizens party has had the better of its rivals, It is admitted, the treasury of the Bavis organization being well cared for and advertising expenditures have exceeded $1,000. Whether wagering on elections Is In any degree a barometer of results, is a question, but generally it is said to indicate pretty well the way the wind is blowing. The fact that the Bavls supporters who are wagering on the result are demanding adds, is a strong
j point in the way of conceding the
weakness of their candidate. Today there were wagers of 2 to 1, 3 to 1 and even as high as 5 to 1 that Zimmerman would be elected. There were wagers of even money and a few at odds of 2 to 1 that Bavis would be third. Practically all wagers that
Zimmerman will be elected go without takers, and it requires a 2 to 1 propo
sition at least to attract the Bavis supporters.

Chin Gee Hee, Chinaman, came to I Seattle more than thirty years ago j he opened a small store in the Chinese j
district and with his modest savings started business. Recently he returned from China on a visit, the president of the best railroad in the Orient today. Upon his arrival on the Pacific coast many years ago Chjn Gee Hee had the determination to return some day to his native land and direct the construction of a railroad in the Sun Xing district where it was so greatly needed. His first Job in America was as a section hand and he later became a straw boss over a gang of his fellow countrymen. Soon he became a contractor in a small way and with work as a laundry helper and as a placer miner he saved enough to come to Seattle and start a store. When there came the anti-Chinese riots of 1SS6 Chin Gee Hee was one of those most abused in the protest against Oriental labor on the coast His store was later burned in the famous fires of 1889, but he rebuilt the building and started up his business again. Chin Gee Hee had done well In his business ventures and he consulted Judge Thomas Burke and explained to him his ambition to build a railroad In the Orient. Judge Burke interested James J. Hill, late president of the Great Northern railroad in Mr. Hee who was given the opportunity of making a trip over the Great Northera lines, studying methods of railroad construction and the operation of American railroads. When Chin Gee Hee reached China to carry out his ambitions he had many obstacles confronting him. Interesting sufficient capital was work enough but he soon found that his road, however planned, would be sure to cross many graveyards and the Chinese bitterly opposed such a desecration, But the road at last went through because Chin Gee Hee was determined. The laborers and builders employed had all been trained abroad and Chinese only are now used in the road's operation. As a result ef Chin Gee Hee's achievement he is an important figure in the Kwong-Tung province and the late emperor decorated him with the peacock feather and gave him a re-.

Much interest Is shown in the sale of pictures donated to the Red Cross by Richmond artists and which is conducted by Francis Edmunds at his store. North Ninth street A number of persons have seen the pictures and the two pictures by Bundy and two small pieces by Glrardin have already been sold, adding $125 to the chapter treasury. Last week bo much Interest In the Red Cross work was shown by the women of the city that the rooms were overcrowded a part of the time. Plans are being considered to privide more room for the workers, especially on the days when large groups from some of the churches are working. The following article made by the Wayne County Chapter of the Red Cross rooms and by its branches throughout the county were shipped Saturday to the Indianapolis warehouse: Knitted Articles 55 sweaters, 21 mufflers, 19 pairs of wristlets, 1 pair socks, size 10; 83 pairs socks, size 10; 86 pairs socks, size 11; 51 pairs socks, size 11; 24 pairs socks, size 12. Total, 196 pairs Hospital Garments and Supplies 84 suits of pajamas, 12 bed wraps, 276 bed shirts, 24 hot water bottle covers, 108 pairs of bed shoes, 1 bath rug. 96 handkerchiefs, 24 napkins, 12 tray cloths. Surgical Dressings 2.600 gauze compresses 9 by 9 inches. Owing to the urgent need for supplies of all kinds a shipment will be made each week from now on so that the various articles that are made may be available for use as early as possible. A considerable quantity of surgical dressings Is on hand but It was impossible to complete the inspection in time for this shipment so that the 2,600 compresses mentioned does not represent the entire output of the surgical dressings department. It is expected the inspected may be completed In time for next week's shipment. The need for knitted articles of all sorts is great and is immediate so that it is hoped that all persons who have taken out yarn will complete their work as soon as possible and it
j is particularly urged that all finished j articles be returned to the Headauarj ters as soon as they are finished.
With the present congested condition of shipping, a week's delay here might mean a delay of several weeks in reaching France as there are no regular sailings.
