Gently.
The man who sends his money a.
broad should suffer the embarrassment
Of not being allowed credit at home.
Some people think the home merchant
is simply creature of convenience.
When they want credit they obtain it
from the home merchant; when they
have money they send away for what
they want.-Ex.

After reading the following from the
Harrisburg Courier, Oregon farmers
ought to feel contented: rs. r. Rogers
and family have been camped at DR..
Davis hop yard since last Saturday.
Mr.. Rogers and his people came from
Furmas county, Neb., by team and
were several weeks on the road. Mr..
Rogers says he has come to make his
home here and doubted not that he
would like this country. He informed
us that their only fuel in that part of
the country is corn. From over q hun
dred acres Of wheat, two years ago, he
harvested fifteen bushels, and that had
to be cut with a mower and raked by
hand. Last winter his stock at one
time had to remaiu three days without
food or water; the stables were only
few rods from the house, but blizzard
ofsuch magnitude was raging that il
was absolutely impossible for any one
to be out of doors, even for an instant.
is it any wonder that Mr.. Rogers be-
lieves he will like Oregon and her eli
mate?n
A Pendleton gentleman who has
just returned from the Grande Ronde
valley is authority for the statement
that the farmers Of that section Of the
state will resist the collection of debts,
ifcommenced before wheat appreciates
In price. They complain that wheat
brings from three TO four cents less In
La Grande than in PendletOn. With
the highest market price there at
thirty cents, they argue that they are
justified in demanding an indefinite
extension Of time. They will act
jointly in the matter, first asking for
consideration at the hands of the cred
itor class. Should there be any ten
dency to "crowd the mourners" they
will march In body, or by proxy In
the shape Of a committee Of represen-
tative farmers, to the county court
houses and inform the sheriffs and
deputies that attempts to serve attach
ments and executions will be met by
the most earnest protests. And any
move towards selling under execution
will be the signal for q small-sized re-
bellion, In which words will be scarce,
and not cold, but hot lead will pre-
dominate.

NIPPED A DANGEROUS FIRE.
a. Barge Lay Blazing Near a Powds
Poat.

At 1926 this morning Capt. Lorenzo
Sheppard, of the New York Central
Railroad Tug No. 9. found the lighter
Jesse CARL on fire at pier l of the West
Shore Railroad.
He and his crew OF six at once put on
a hose. and after an hours hard work
extinguished the blaze. The fire APP
peared to have started in the forecastle,
and was burning through the deck.
There was no captain or Waterman
aboard the burning vessel. A dog was
found in the hold smothered by the
dense smoke.
The arrival of Capt. Sheppard was
fortunate. as the lighter lay among the
barGes of the New York Central. and
just ahead OF her was moored a barge
upon which was about six tons of pow
der. Had not the fire been discovered at
the time 1t would have taken but a few
moments more to have reached the pow
der boat and there would nave been an
explosion and a serious loss.
Who the Jesse CARL belonged to Is not
known. She Is estimated to be worth
about $4,000. The damage amounts to

PROVIDENCE BANKERS FAIL,
Wilbour, jackson & Co. and She
don & Binney Suspend.
They Were Chased Among the
Strongest Of New England Firms.

PROVIDENCE. r. L., oct. IA great
sensation has been created in banking
and business circles by the announce
ment OF the suspension of the banking
firms OF Wilbour, Jackson & Co. and
Sheldon & Binney.
These concerns were classed among
the strongest in New England, the bank
ing house OF Wilbour. jackson e. Co.
having been In existence a score Of years,
and their standing has been A No. l.. =.
They have in the past negotiated
others those Of the cities Of Providence
and Boston and Western cities. They
have also handled heavily railroad
bonds, it being through this house thai
the recent big deal in the stock OF the
Union Railroad Company was made
whereby the Metropolitan Traction Com
pany came into the control OF the com
pany.
The present members OF the House are
Senator Johsua H.: Wilbour. OF Bristol.
Chairman of the Finance Committee of
the Legislature, and b. Il Jackson. 1t
was through Senator Wilhour's en-
deavors that the twenty years franchise
act was worked through the Le sislatire.
The house did an immense business, both

and william Binney, jr 10th members
of this firm were at one lime junior
members of Wilbour. Jackson & Co.,
from which house they wlthl-,'v and
started a banking and brokerage head
quarters of their own.
At both houses the greatest secrecy Is
maintained regarding the troubles.
From one of the officers of the firm of
Wilbour. Jackson & Co. IT was learned
that the liabilities are very large. but
the exact figures, or even an estimate,
cannot be learned except through SEN
ator Wilbour.
The trouble was the result of the firms
of Wilbour, Jackson & Co. and Sheldon
& Binney indorsing the notes of the
Denver Street Railway Company. the
stock Of which has greatly deprecated
These notes have now fallen due. and
1t vas found impossible to secure an ex-
tension of time from the banks which
held them.
Both houses. 1t is stated, have heavily
backed the street railroad companies
of Denver. Senator Wilbour Is President
Of the Highland roa in that city, and
i IL stated, is also interested in the
Denver Street Railway Company.
Business men display decided uneasi-
ness over the suspension and predict that
It will seriously affect some leading
houses.

Real Estate.

The difference between living
in a home of ones own at Gift
fords- and in a flat
uptown is very great. In the
first, there is safety, economy
and profit. In the second, there
is constant expenditure, uncer
tainty and loss.
Suppose two good lots at Gift
ords-by-the-Sea were obtain
able for, say $500, and that o n
these a house costing $500
could be built, making in all
$500. The interest on this at
6 per cent. is sos per Year,
which, with $50 n year for u
communication ticket, will make
up s16S per an um. This is
exactly S14 n mon Ii for a house
of ones own, with abundant
room for a good garden and
ample provisions for children,
such as play grounds, schools,
etc. To those who have money
in savings banks at 2 or 3 per
cent. the cost would be much
less.
The economy consists in saw
ing rent. The safety consists in
the investment in your own
home, than which nothing can
be safer. The profit is found in
the nearness of the land to New
York, the scarcity of good land
near the city and in the i'm
provements which you and your
neighbor will make, so that year
by year your lots will double up
in value.
The sale of this beautiful
property takes place on Thurs
day afternoon, the 10Th inst, by
order of David Bennett King,
trustee for creditors of Erastus
Wiman. The property adjoins
the station, is reached by thirty
one trains q day from the Bat
terry in forty-fve minutes. The
double tracking of the railroad
now proposed will increase the
number of trains and diminish
tho time.
You cannot for the money buy
