The Grading or Grain.


Tho railroad commissioners returned yestsr-
day from their trip through the Red river val
ley. They found everywhere unanimous
sentiment that the grading Of weat must be so
changed as to lessen the number Of grades and
make the distinctions between the different
grades sufficiently distinct, 10 that any one,
farmer or miller, can distinguish the several
grades at once. As 1t is now, tho grades are
so complicated that only an expert can toll to
which grade sample of wheat belongs. Tho
commissioners also say that the statements
contained in recent Moorhead dispatch,
which purpOrt to give the information that
only three candidates are being considered for
the position of inspector at Duluth, 10 entirely
incorrect. No candidates or inspectors have
been selected. The question Of establishing
the new grade for wheat will be dsfnitsly set
tied after the meeting Of the commissioners at
tho capitol ON Tuesday next at 10 a. m. The
commissioners earnestly invite all interested In
wheat grading to meet them then, that gen.
eral exchange Of views may be had, and, il
possible, grade established which will be
satisfactory to the general public.-P Pioneer

Still Gravely Discussing the
Coming Mormon Exodus.

The Philadelphia Press of late date
contains a dispatch from New York
stating in substance that the recent eff
feet of the Edmunds law in Utah has
led the authorities of the Mormon
Church to prefer a sale of all their
possessions to a syndicate of eastern
capitalists, with view of going to Mex
leo. There is probably more theory here
than fact. Certain Mormon leaders
have explored Mexico pretty thor
oughly. An effort was made to effect a
treaty with the Yaqui Indians in Son.
ora, an Independent tribe who hold a
large area OF good valley land. For some
reason that plan did not succeed. These
Indians are now at war with the Federal
authorities of Mexico. As we under
stand the matter, the authorities there
were willing to receive the Mormons as
colonists, but they are not willing to
tolerate the practice of polygamy
Without that liberation Mexico would
be no mole attractive place for Nor
mons than Utah.
The Press quotes from correspon-
dent who formerly lived in Utah:
at has long been the desire of a
strong faction of the active leaders
among the Mormons to get away from
Utah. presume that the convictions
under the Edmund's bill have given
them the excuse for pressing their views
on the rest of the church. There is
very little common property held by the
church. The Territory is districted
Each district is given over to an apostle.
There are upwards OF 100 Bishops, chos-
en- for their business capacity. The
Bishops silent partner is the apostle for
his district. The entire scheme is to
get up monopoly of trade No other
Mormon Is allowed to start store and
the Mormons are forbidden to trade with
the Gentiles.
If an offer of property has been made
to eastern capitalists it is the property
of individuals. 1t may be big scheme
to sell land that is otherwise unstable.
The Mermens are equal to any such
trick. and the Youngs are sharp enough
to put it through"
1t is said that the agent for the pro-
posed sale is John F. Young. Such a
scheme may have been talked up by
him; but there is little prospect that any
syndicate has been formed, or will be
formed to purchase the Mormon prop
erty at Salt Lake. The mere transfer of
temples, tithing and other religious
houses would not affect the individual
property of the great body OF Mormons
in that city. However, if the leaders
once undertook the work of another
the lay Mermons would fol-
low. AT present the plan seems to be
to plant colonies in the outlying Terri
tories, and to stimulate their growth as
rapidly as possible. The Mexican coloni-
cation scheme in connection with the
sale of church property in Utah, has
just now more of shadow than sub

GRAY.
To the Editor Of the Press:
We paid visit to the Gray trotting park
yesterday and were much pleased to find
things in such good shape. Although it is
not completed yet there is enough done to
show that this will be one of the very best
arranged and best finished parks in the
State. 1t is located ON the Poland road
about three minutes walk from the hotel.
The grounds are very level and of the very
best material for good track. The exhibit
ton hall is large and well-lighted and is
two stories high, the lower floor for the
heavy goods and the upper floor for fruit,
dairy products, light machines, musical in
struments and ladies' needle work. The
dining hall is two stories high, the upper
floor being for ladies and the gentlemen ac-
companying them, the lower floor for those
gentlemen who are so unfortunate as not to
have ladies with them.
This building is most excellently arranged
being near the entrance and but few steps
from the exhibition hall. 1t has a good
sized ell with cook room above and below,
so arranged that the walters enter the hall
at the side, about midway, thereby having
easy access to any part of the ROOM
The track is so far completed that there is
quite a lot of driving on it. Yesterday Mr..
Whitman Leslie was shaking out a couple Of
colts five and six years old that showed
pretty plainly that they would make it in
teresting for contestants at the fair this fall.
The track will be ready as also the stables,
by the Goth inst for all parties who wish to
work their horses preparatory to the races.
Much credit is due Mr.. j. T. Merrill and
his brother, the late George T. Merrill, for
the energy with which they have pushed
this enterprise, and we trust their efforts
will be crowned with success.
Everything in Gray has an air Of improve
ment. Since the hotel has changed hands it
has been put in excellent condition. Mr.
Whidden, the proprietor, has thoroughly
renovated it inside and out at large outlay
of money, and the travelling community are
assured that they will find one of the best
hotels at Gray that there is in the
county. Everything is as neat as
wax, and the host and hostess always
pleasant. Everybody should plan to visit
Gray at the time of their fair the 18th and Sth
of October. LOWELL.

eral hundred people, went on an excursion
and picnic, the former going to the delight
full seaside residence of Mr.. A. F. Hanna

noticed a sprinkling of the Salvation Army
among the 'GationiSts, and to this little

Mr.. Hannaford's place was the scene of a

of shallow ground which lies about three
quarters of a mile east of the eastern light.
A boats crew came ashore for assistance in
locating the shoal, and the required aid was
afforded by the lightkeeper. Some of the
native fishermen declare they have fished in
IA feet at low tide on this shoal; but the
least depth found by the survey party would
indicate about IS feet at low water

store, Nos. 492 and 494 Congress street. 1t
seems almost unnecessary for us to call
special attention. to this event because Port
land ladies are familiar with these sales
and the great bargains they obtain at them
-as well as those of the gentler sex who re-
side some distance from the city. The goods
are offered at fifty cents on the dollar and
are always all they are represented to be; in
fact the firm state that they have never
been able to offer such great bargains as on
this occasion. The store will open at a. M
and the sale begin at $50 a. m. All sales
will be for cash.
