WHEAT is A DRUG NOW.
Farmers Holding Back with the Hope OF
Obtaining Higher Rate.

The Chicago Herald publishes, under
the caption, Wheat Is a Drug" a
three-column article, bristling with
statistics, tending to show that the
esent low price of wheat is the nat
;lral result OF the prevailing financial
depression, assisted by overproduction
and the holding back OF marketable
supplies of the farmers. Interviews
with bankers and merchants are also
cited. the trend of their views seeming
TO indicate that the effect OF existing

by the Herald is extremely bearish, as

a Chicago dispatch, there was a full

stood near John Kunze near the west

THE CHANGE WILL COME.

Smarting under the action of the
senate on the tariff bill recently
before it, Mr.. Tucker introduced a
resolution in the house, providing for
amending the constitution SO that
United States senators should be elected
by direct vote of the people. This res
olution passed without objection, and by
the necessary two-thirds vote. To sub
NIT the matter to a vote, however, would
Gwo-thirds vote of both houses. It is
unnecessary therefore to say that the
resolution did not pass the senate.
Some of the senators are indignant, and
say that the passing of the resolution by
the house is reflection on the moral in
tegrity of the senate, and an insult to
the members of that body. Well, that's
about what it Is, and it will have to go
at that, yet at the same time it is but
the expression of the feelings and senti-
ment of the masses. The fight on this
proposition may be put off, but sooner
or later the people will triumph and the
principle business of the state legisla-

HANGING AT LAKEH1EW.

Lakeview had hanging by mob
Monday evening two weeks ago. A
man named VIM. Thompson had been
arrested for pulling a gun on w. q.
Moss and was confined in Jail. Friday
of last week a mob of about fifty men,
masked, stopped the night watchman,
took the keys of the Jail away from him,
and taking Thompson from the Jail
hanged him to the back steps of the
courthouse. Mob violence is always to
be deprecated, but in this case there
seems to have been but little cause for
80 grave punishment. Thompson was
said to be quarrelsome fellow hut he
had never hurt anyone. The citizens of
Lskeview feel keenly the disgrace of the
affair. The mob was composed of other
than residents of Lakeview, whose citi-
zens t"ok no part in the proceedings.

A PRESENT OWNERSHIP LIST.

The system of assessments in Oregon
is decidedly crude. We venture the
assertion that thousands of dollars of
tIxes are lost each year by every county
IN the state. Wasco is no exception.
The county should have an abstract of
titles made, both from the county
records and the records of the U. S. land
Office, showing the ownership of all
lands in the county. Deeds are made
that are not recorded, and this is especi-
ally true of patents which are taken
from the land office, but not recorded
until the owner of the land desires to
sell. We believe that present owner
snip list would add not less than $4,000
yearly to the amount received in this
county.
There is no man who can, under the
existing conditions, make fair ann
thorough assessment of this county.
s 'me property is bound to escape; in
fact does escape. Not through either
the carelessness or incompetency of the
assessor, but just because it is impossi-
BILE for him, or any other man, to find
1t all. We believe the county court
would do wise thing in having pres
ent ownership list made of all real prop.
erty, and we believe it would save every
year more than the cost of making the
list

The business affairs'of the town of Pull

for Pullman. The water, the gas, the

thing belonged to Pullman, who fixed
Pricee, rents and wages. There was no
competition. The men were little bet
