tent this morning by the Cincinnati Price Current,
which, in its summary, reported more crops were
In fine condition. The publication mentioned
being considered as good authority, its report was
accepted pretty generally, weak opening and a
later declining market resulting. Declines had
TAKEN piace To-Day IN all European markets. Berlin
especially quoting the greatest losses. onr early
trade having reference to that fact. The decline
following the lower opening here placed prices in a
position where put holders could buy to adyan-
tage. Their purchases and covering of some
"short Wheat rallied the market a little after
which everything became quiet
Even during the busy first hour there was no
large trading but rather scattered business OF a
local character. Receipts were 4S cars for Chicago

VARIETY AT COLFAN.

About six weeks ago a crusade
was begun against the gambling
fraternity in Colfax, says the AID
vocate. The officials of the city
ordered arrests, but the cases were
quashed in the superior court. The
agitation, however, seemed to scare
away the larger part Of the gam
bling fraternity, but in their wake
has come the variety and it's horde
of hangers on. The frame addition
to the Star saloon, permission to
erect the same within the fire linn
it's having been granted by the city
council, with the understanding
that it was to be used as a little
kitchen, has been fitted up as a
full-hedged variety theatre. Stage,
boxes, walters, women and all are
there, and the atmosphere is as vile
as can be found in any dive In any
city. Driven by competition, Lee
france, of the Newcastle, imported
a lot of soiled doves and couple of
broken down musicians last week
to fill an engagement at that place,
as an attraction to the degraded
element of the city, so that Colfax
can now boast of variety theatre
and dance hall, and unless the
brakes are put on soon many are
wondering where the city will stop

THE BEAUTIES OF ALBERTA

q. B. Carter, who has recently
returned from the Alberta country
is not very enthusiastic over that
country as an agricultural country
says the Garfield Enterprise. He
said that the first year he was there
they had favorable season and his
crops did very well, having raised
1900 bushels of grain. But such
seasons are not the rule. Last
summer the ground froze as deep
there on the 9TH of August as it
does here in the winter time and
on the 10th of the same month a
snow fell that leveled the uncut
grain as flat as though a roller had
passed over it. That crops can be
grown at all is owing to the ex-
tremely long days in the summer
time. A newspaper could easily be
read, he says, at II O'Clock p. m.
People go to bed before shutdown,
and sleep until after sunup. In the
winter time you can get but short
glimyse Of the sun until it is gone.
The public school system he pro
nounced the worst possible and the
administration of government far
from satisfactory. Mr.. Carter
started south with the expectation
Of going to California. Hestoppod
here Tor awhile and has about con-
cluded to remain, saying that he
likes the Palouse country better
than he ever did. He is contem-
plating the purchase of a farm near
Oakesdale, but will farm the Ander-
son Irwin farm next season.

WHEAT POOL SALE.

The announcement made last
week of the sale of the pool OF wheat
by the Farmers Warehouse COM
pany at 80 cents appears from later
Developments to have been below
the real price obtained, as 363c,
net, is being paid by the company
for the pool, this price being met
by other buyers. This is, ofcourse,
for No. 1 wheat. In the lot was
some wheat that was not graded
when it was received at the ware
house, but each mans wheat was y,
piled by itself and marked piled
separate" on receipts. For this
wheat the company offers to either
nav the owners 35 cents or let nm
wait and take terminal grades Tor
it. The great bulk of the wheat
from this house has gone to FORT
land, and Manager Lawrence mas
become able to grade with accuracy

and confidence for those buyers,
while, as it is about the first ship
ment to Tacoma, he was uncertain
whether his grades would CORES
pond with those of the state IN
spector.
The sale of the pool occasioned
some little excitement among local
grain buyers. For some time be-
fore the sale it was rumored that a
pool was being formed, but no in
formation could be gained from
Manager Lawrence, but when the
sale was announced, the other buy
ers promptly met it, although 1T
was a considerable rise above the
market quotations. In addition to
the $4,000 bushel pool, there was
large quantity of wheat in the other
houses that was marketed at the
pool price,-Garfeld Enterprise.
