Chicago, Sept. 30.—The "wheat
squeeze” which disturbed speculative
routine with a 14 cent advance in the
September option on the lioard of
trade here today lacked none of the
features of former years when "Old
Hutch” Cudahy, Partridge and others
were wont to explode bomb shells un-
der the trade.
Cleanest Cut Corner in Years.
It was tile cleanest cut of alty cor-
ner in many years. The Patten deal
of last spring was an open secret long
before linal delivery day but what
happened today came out of a clear
sky. September wheat had been lag-
ging toward the end with every evi-
dence of ebbing vitality. For a month
there had been practically nothing do-
ing in the option. An occasional ig-
nored bid at, or slightly above the
market price Infrequently developed
traces of nervousness in the "tone"
but the general tranquility was undis-
turbed. September dosed yesterday
at, $1.06 and sluggishly slept through
most of today:#, .session slightly above'
that figure.
in a vague way there was known to
he a short interest but that some par-
ticular individual or clique had se-
cured control of the long side was
undreamed of.
The traders in control are said to
have held about 1.000,Otto bushels
while the scattered short Interest ran
between five and ten millions, accord-
ing to the average expert guess in the
absence of actual figures.
In volume this does not begin to
compare with some deals which boaro

Hpf*‘ ial to The Times.
Fort Worth, Texas, Sept 30—The
utilization of the famous Palo I)uro
canyon as a storage basin for an im-
mense irrigation project to furnish
water for more than 1,000,000 acres
of farming land is urged by W. V.
Sterley, geneta! freight agent for the
Forth Worth & Denver railroad, He
declares the plan practicable, and that
it is one of the greatest opportunities
In the state. Blanco canyon could also
be used for retaining water for the
lower levels. Several million acres
might be cultivated. Sleriey says the
state must undertake the project
alone, as the federal government has
no lands in Texas, and for this rea-
son no federal irrigation system can
be undertaken here. Palo Duro can-
yon is 138 miles long. It extends from
Dalhart to Armstrong county. Heavy
snows in the upper Panhandle assure
an ami Ic supply of water
communicate with you by letter my
reasons for believing a debate inad-
visable.
"When a joint debate was suggested
at El Paso, T-xas. I replied to the
effect tlio I am trying to aid in the
election of a Democratic majority in
the next congress; that to such end
I have suggesed a brief but specific
tariff plank which ! ask Democrat
candidates to accept, reject or amend,
and that, believing a debate would
tend to turn attention from the Issue
to Individuals, I would not conside-
the proposition, unless it came as a
personal request.
"I might add the further reason
that a debate between two Democrat
would accentuate the tariff differences
that have embarrassed our parly in
congress and give Republican news-
papers a chance to dwell upon Demo-
cratic dissensions, instead of devoting
tlielr time to Gut contest now being
waged,between the progressive Repub-
licans and standpatters. A debate
might be pleasing to participants and
entertaining to the audience, but 1
think that the subject which I am
endeavoring to present is 'worthy of
calm and serious consideration.
"Very truly yours,
"W. .1 BRYAN."

Seattle, Sept. 30.—Speaking before

today announced that he would urge

rine, Ills utterances on this subject
were received with great acclaim.
Utterances About Alaska.
Wl|en he turned to Alaska, however,
and declared that he was opposed to
granting a territorial form of govern-
ment to that far off pusseasion, the
statement was received in silence. As
the president proceede I. however,
and outlined his policy for *he up-
building of Alaska, of rec utmandlng
government aid in the construction of
railroads, of a local government by
a commission of live or more mem-
bers appointed by the president and
co-operating with the gov prime, and
when he told of the groat possibilities
that lie In Alaska, he plainly caught
flic favor of his hen-trs and was
loudly cheered.
Plans Visit to Alaska.
Later In the day. when lie was ad-
mitted to membership in the Arctic
Brotherhood, -- an Interna il.ohal organ-
ization made up of Canadians and

ment of Alaska, the president an-
