NEW YORK, May % Wall street specu-
lation today was generally strong and de-
cidedly active. Reactions, due mainly 10
realizations of profits, took place at inter
walls and there was an occasional bear
drive which sent prices down temporarily,
but there were buyers for all the stocks
offered and after each decline came rally
which established "a higher range of values.
Exceptions To this rule were found in some
of the specalties which moved erratically,
and in few cases recorded declines on the
day. London was purchaser in ropnd
amounts of :he Arbitrage stocks. Chiefly of
st. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Union
Pacific aud Atchison. Chicago was also
heavy buyer of St. Paul. supposedly for
the account of prominent railway men in
that city, who anticipate good results from
the meeting of railway managers to be
held in that city tomorrow. The general
market Was helped upward by the
expectation of settlement OF the rate
quest ton for some time to come by this
conference, and the bulls used the meeting
for all there was in it and perhaps more.
Sugar was again in hand by the clique
and moved upward on reports from Wash
ington that he senate would verJ shortly
pass the tariff bill with the clause protect
ing the refining interests, and that the
house would accept the senate amend
ments. Rumors that the coal strike was
approaching a settlement affected the
shares of the anthracite roads favorably.
Chicago gas was bought by outsiders on
the belief that there would be no further
effort to interfere with the payment of
the dividend. Cordage was stronger On
reports to the effect that arrangements
had been effected with manufacturers
outside the trust TO maintain prices. All
influences affecting the market were
read in favorable light by the traders and
hence the trend of prices was up
ward. During the afternoon the
buying was at times very stroug, but on
final dealings realizing sales caused a gen.
eral reaction and the market closed easier
at a deot,ne of 14@15s cents from the best
prices of the day.
The bond market was a trifle heavy dur
ing the morning but became stronger in
the afternoon and closed at the best of the
day

An Interesting Career.

Mr.. Pete Hensley, the hermit of the
Cascades, spent Friday night in AL
bany. The career of Mr.. Hensley is an
interesting one. When young man
he was wasting away with consumr-
ton, the youngest offourteen children,
80 he came west and located In this
county. His nature was ascetic and
be settled alone at Lower Soda, hut
people began gathering around him,
and he sold out ard went farther into
the Cascades, locating in Canyon Greek
which he left when he began to have
neighbors, few years ago locating at
his present home ten miles from Fish
Lake, and thirty yards from the sur
veyed line of the ). p, where in the
winter, without II heighbor within ten
miles, he is surrounded by as much as
seven feet of snow. He traps for a
living, now not so extensively. Years
ago he brought to Albany furs for
which he received over 81, 900 in cash,
He has twenty-three varieties to hunt
for and covers large territory in his
wanderings. At one time years ago,
, after one of his changes, he had over

city, 0. G. Mcfarland, then boy,
helped him put It IN belt previous tc
his departure for Portland, He was
not heard from for over six years, and

money; but he again resumed his life
in the Cascades, While gone, among
other adventures, he rode 1000 mile
down the Mississippi IN a skift. Hi,
money disappeared, some of it in, baC
loans never repaid, but he makes
living all right and is independent anl

but reads love stories and says he ha

A Good Joke on a Preacher.

The best joke of the season was per-
petrated on Rev. Wallace last Satur-
day by some Of the boys here. The
reverend gentleman bought q big 81
pound chinook salmon and left it lay
ing In front of a store while he carried
some things up TO Mr.. Hawley's house,
where he was stopping, While he was
gone some of the boys, headed by the
inepressible Bob Campbell, took a
three ounce vial and stuffed scrap Of
paper in it on which was a scribbled
statement that the aforesaid bottle was
thrown overheard from sinking
steamer in the Alaska waters last Feb
ruary The name of the vessel was
unfortunately (?) blurred so that it
could not be deoiphered. This bottle
they stuffed into the salmon's interior
and awaited developments. Mr..
Preacher came back and got his salmon
and took it home to clean it, and pretty
soon came down an excited preacher
exhibiting his fad The boys held
their sides to keep from laughing and
looked solemn. But the best part of il
came to to pass yesterday when the
0regonim printed communication
| giving the details of the whole. And
our friend Wallace will never know
how he was gulled until he sees this
this expose, Another funny part is
that one half of the people in the town
could remember the sinking of the
vessel until the joke leaked QUITO
| ledo Leader.
