Wheat Going Up.

The wheat market seems to be
gaining strength, as yesterday the
Salem FIGURING Mills Company in
creased its local offer to sixty three
cents per bushel, from sixty one cts.
offered the day before. Although
the millers generally feel wary OF
buying very much, yet there is moth
ing to indicate that the market is in
danger of growing weaker Local
ly there is not much wheat offered
for sale, the mills mentioned above
not holding over 10000 bushels in
the warehouse, and that is owned by
persons who are not anxious TO sell.
The market generally, however,
looks quite favorable for persons
who hold any at this time.

Under Arrest.

This afternoon Police Capt. II.
Barndrick, deputy U. S. Marshal,
brought one Plaster down from Eu-
gene for examination before y. S.
Commissioner Walton on charge
Of sending obscene matter through
the mail. Plaster, it seems, wrote a
letter containing some very insult
ing language, to his sister-in-law,
and her mother, the language being
too vile even to beuttered in a crowd
of men. Barndrick filed the COM
plant and Il warrent was issued yes
terday. Plaster has engaged Geo.
Washburne of Eugene to defend
him, and will be arranged this even
ing and examined tomorrow.
