A Slick Hotel Beat.

The follow had no baggage when
he registered first at the Markham
House Saturday, but bad very
GLIB tongue and told such "a pIaus-
lble story that he was permitted to
register and given room. He was
well dressed and very pleasant
spoken fellow, and his bill for
extras soon assumed startling pro.
portions, The hotel people be-
came alarmed, and after he had
been there several days a party
stopping there told them he was
beat. The clerk fixed up scheme,
and that evening he got into the
fellows room on some pretcxt after
he had retired cImly gathering up
the fellows coat, vest and pants
told him they could be redeemed at
the office fer the amount OF his Dill.
The fellows nerve did not desert
hlm even IN this extremity. He
borrowed a macintosh coat from
tue clerk which reached to his
heels, which he put on over his un
derclothing, in order to go alter
some money, and walked to the
KimbalI House, where he boldly
registered aud was shown to a
room, leaving word that when his
baggage arrived il was to be kept
until he got up in the morning.
At about S O'Clock on Sunday
morning he came jumping down
stairs, making great noise cf a
tale of robbery, in. which he had
lost his clothes and $85 in cash.
The hotel management, without
stopping to investigate the fellow,
got him a new suit of clothes and
paid him S85 rather than have such
notoriety attached to the house
The fellow then walked back to
the Markham house, paid his bill,
obtained his clothes and jumped

American Farmers Will Obtain
Better Prices or Abandon
Wheat-Raislng.


Mr. Charles England, president
of the Baltimore Corn and Flour
Exchange, submitted his annual
report recently. It is compreben-
sive IN detail and covers with iu
te,ligence every suhj 'ct of interest
to THIS commercial body. Many Of
the subjects treate are also vital
to the commercial welfare OF the
whole city. President England
saysin part:
"PrOvIdepce has blessed us with
liberal crops, but His bounty was
widely spread among all nations,
and We have not had the misfor
tunes of others to aid US in mar
keling our grain, experiencing,
more strongly than ever before,
the rivalry of Russia, India, Aus
tralla and our newest comp etitOr,
the Argentine, with its climate
peculiarly favorable for wheat and
soil comparable to the best wheat
lands Of Illinois. They have con
yerted into wheat fields a portion
OF the vast plains that had before
pastured millions of cattle, cult
waiting them with American ma
chiuery, sometimes purchased in
their markets at lower prices than
afforded our producers, thus using
the results of American inventive
genius in opposition 10 those it was
intended to serve. Indeed, 1t can
be said that the Argentine has es.
tablished the price of American
wheat this season.
"The increase in the worlds
wheat supply produced the results
natural tD over production, and
prices continued 10 decline until
until the low mark of 521 cents per
buSheI was reached during the
year, being the lowest price at

ket, thereby losing lis relation to
other grain in value and continuous
~ for several months selling at a
lower price than corn; aud, within

Department of Agriculture, furn.
lshed in December last, tue aver
age farm price of wheat was shown
to be 1873 cents per bushel, being
1879 cents less than the average for
the decade 1880 to 1899. BY the
same report theaverage farm pr ce
of corn was 45 6 cents per bushel
being G.3 cents higher than for
the ten years 1SS0tO 1889. About
the close OF the year the visible
supply of wheat reached S9,O7l, :
900 bushels, being the largest
amount ever accum ulated in that
stock. The conditions eau only
be transient and will hasten the
time when the American farmer
will obtain better prices or aban-
don wheat raising.
"Wheat becoming the low priced

to devise new methods for It's con.

this will result-ln a permanent de,

miles southeast of Baker City, brought a
dozen chickens to town the other day
and disposed of them to Mr.. Walter
Fernald, of the First National Bank, re-

them gold particles were found in the

came to town again and Mr.. Fernald in
formed him of the find and suggested
that the rancher had better do little

of his home. The rancher on his return
