year old Lizzie Goddard of Burnside,

Philadelphia Record, to be fright
ened to death by the first ride she had
ever taken on the cars last night.
Five minutes after she had arrived
here on her on her first railroad trip
she was dead. Littlc Miss Goddard
had been in constant fear of railroads
all her life, and boarded the train
yesterday only after much persuasion.
The train made a lungc few miles

THE RAISE IN MEAT.
It is Ascribed to a Combination to
Manipulate the Product.

II is Ascribed to Combination to
Manipulate the Product.
"The sudden raise in price," said
a man in the trade, "has been due
entirely to the manipulation Of the
market by these big wholesale firms
acting in concert, and not the part
ial failure Of the Western corn
crop. The decrease in the supply
Of cattle is less than Is per cent;
the increase in the price average 30
per cent. Feed was cheaper last
year than ever before in the cattle
raising section. IF corn was scarce
in some of the country there was
certainly enough cattle raised in
other places to have made up for
any small deficiency there may
have been.
Everything about this mysterious
rise in the price of meat emphasiz.
es and confirms the fact that a
combination has been formed. Beef
is higher in New York than it was
during the railway riot in Chicago,
when the entire western supply
was cut off temporarily.

OBSERVATION OF A BANKER

SamP. Sturgis Tells the East Oregon
len How Affairs Are on the Coast.
Mr.. Sturgis said that when he was
travelling toward the sound, lie
noticed at Ellensburg and in that
vicinity every sign of thrift and
industry. These good indications
are quickly traceable to extensive
and successful enterprises. Near
Ellensburg are in operation six
creameries and a first-class product
is being turned out. It requires,
said Mr.. Sturgis, but very little in
vestigation to discover that ifriga-
tion is doing wonders for that sec
tion.
Tacoma people, with no excep-
tion, are full Of hope. They have
undying faith in the future Of their
city and think the location unsur-
passed on the coast. Manufactur-
ing enterprises are looking up. One

norman, and employing 175 men.
The lumber trade is also flourish
ing and mills are running night
and day. Chinese and Japanese
trade is big item in Tacoma's
commercial life, and just now is
booming.
The retail business is chiefly on
Pacific avenue, and Tacoma avenue
once thought foremost, is practi-
cally abandoned. But people there
believe it will eventually be the
street of the city.
In Portland, q gentleman whom
Mr.. Sturgis placed great reliance
sized up the situation as follows:
"Wheat will take a small ad
vance, but next fall will be wortl
more than for two years. Argen
tines crop will be short next yea
but evidently that country will do

BETTER THAN A COMBINE.
A Strlpper invented to Thresh Grain
Without Cutting.

Without Cutting.
A gentleman by the name of
William Cooper has conceived an
idea which has found tangible ex-
preston on machine. That ma
chine, if proven successful, will do
much to make wheat cheap crop
to raise. It is infinitely better
than the common header or self
binder, and excels the combine
harvester in that it costs about one
fifth as much, and each farmer can
own one. The inventor estimates
the cost Of cutting az acre of wheat
at 80 cents. The cost with the
machinery now used from $500 to
SO. A description of the new ma.
chine is given by the East Oregon
ian as follows: The machine is
simply header with few inn
provements put or it so that it al
SO threshes the grain. A cylinder
armed with iron beaters are rugged
to run in the place of the reel, and
instead Of cutting the grain, which
would necessitate the handling of
more or less straw, the heads are
stripped off and the beaters thresh
out the grain as itfallson the drap.
er. It is then carried TO suction
fan, which cleans the grain from
chaff as in an ordinary threshinq
machine. The grain is sacked and
dumped in piles, to be gathered uT
by the hauling wagons. The ma
chine is operated by power furnish,
ed by small gasoline engine, and
the entire machine is so light thai
four hourses can pull it on ordin
| ary level ground, and six on the
toughest farm land. Two men are
all that are needed to operate it,
| one to drive the team and regulate
the height of the sickle bar, ant
| the other to attend to the engin'
and sew the sacks.
The combine thresher introduced
into this country three years ag'
was quite step in reducing th'
expense Of harvesting wheat, bu
a harvester sts$2,000 and require
| 80 horses to pull it, SO small farm
ers cannot use them to any grea
advantage, but with the strippe
every farmer can afford to own hi
machine and can harvest his owl
crop. So the development Of tn
machine will be watched with grea
interest by farmers in all wheat
growing countries.

Applicants Still Are Hanging Around.
The Board viii Be oussed,
The people are still no more en-
lightened in regard to the many
officials discrepancies than they
were before either the governor, at
torney-general, or the secretary Of
state had passed their opinion up
on them. For a while it looked
as though the railroad commission
would go, and that it either would
be permanently abolished or that
the governor would appoint new
board. The prospective turning
over and shaking up of this COM
mission was the all-absorbing topic
for some time. When it was hint
ed that the heads Of Compson,
Marcum, and Eddy would in all
probability fall into the political
basket it was surprising to see just
how many applicants there were
for these places. Governor Lord
was besieged with letters and APP
plications. but all he had to say
was, "Mr. Iddleman has that in
charge, I have nothing whatever to
do with it." So that is the way
things proceeded until the attorn-
ey-general had prepared his opin-
ion and cited the different cases to
sustain him. There were many
good strong republicans, a few
democrats and a populist or two
who could not say things mean en-
ough about the attorney, who dared
issue this edict. Like beast
scenting its prey from afar, some
OF these political vultures are still
lowering about, thinking that by
some hook or crook, MI. Iddleman's
opinion will not stand good and
that the old board will be ousted.
They bother the life out Of the
governor and secretary of state
with their tales Of woe, They tell
how long they have been true to
the parties they represent and de-
clare that they are entitled to rec
ognition. There is little consola-
tion for them given by secretary of
state Kincaid. He says IF you
are appointed you will be as bad
off as the commission now repre-
senting the railroads. They are
| performing their labor without a
cent Of recompense, and you will
be treated just the same. So you
all better let 60 and return home,
and take the old board with YOU"
The papers throughout the state
have generally upheld secretary
Kincaid in his action, and still
they do not condemn the action of
the attorney-general for it is be-
lieved that he acted conscientiously
in the matter. The attorney stat
ed that he was not personally &C.
quainted with but one member OF
the board and that he would, for
himself, like to see it lie within
the discretion Of the governor to
appoint who he chooses as q mem
ber Of the board. This is a mat
| ter of considerable importance and
of interest to our many readers,
butt is question very hard to
solve.

BUSINESS GROWING.
Cotton, Oil and Wheat Climb Above
Export Prices.


Export Prices.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Re-
view of trade says:
In every speculative department.
the business is growing, but this is
really the least satisfactory feature
of the situation. Cotton, oil and
wheat climb above the expert price
SO that the marketing of products
abroad must bechecked, and money
is absorbed which ought to be en-
ployed in productive industry and
the distribution of products to con-
sumers. Everybody knows that
oil has not risen 200 per cent be-
cause it is intrinsically more valu-
able, nor is wheat actually worth
more than it was two Or three
weeks ago, but the expansive and
uplifting force has fortunately TAX
en- to speculation rather than to
production, and so we have higher
prices in all speculative markets.
without a large demand for con-
sumption.
Wheat has advanced over 3 cents
during the past week, and the west
ern receipts are small, only, 1,OO2,-
846 bushels, against 1,766, 1929 last
year, but Atlantic reports for three
weeks of April have been only s.
666,481 bushels, (flour included)
against 5,590,367 last year, and
| there is no indication that the for
eign demand will increase while
the prospects for this years crop
are considered excellent.
The most pronounced feature is
the price in the rise of beef, but
which is largely due to the control
of the sources Of supply by strong
corporations. They ought to be
sufficient power in the hands of the
government to meet such conspiracy
against the public, and the propos-
al of Secretary Morton to admit
/ Mexico cattle on easy terms, for
| the benefit of consumers, is hearth
| ly commended. The actual DECREASE
| in receipts of cattle in the four
chief western markets have beer
100000 during the first quarter o
1896, and the quantity killed has
been only $4,000 head less than
last year, about 10 per cent. But
facts have little to do with prices
| in this case as in the case Of oil.
i In iron and steel the situation is
rather disappointing. Although
the output continues large, the de
mand for finished products doe'
not seem to increase.
The sale of wool at the chief east
ern markets have been 18,S34,00|
pounds for three weeks Of April

indicates that the product Of good
