ANexchange takes the stand tha

AN exchange takes the stand that
the farmers should sell their wheat
as soon as possible on the ground
that they are paying a high rate of
interest for borrowed money that
will eat up all the profits accruing
from a later rise in prices. This is
to considerable extent true, but
not all the farmers are compelled
to borrow money. And even il
there is nothing to be gained it
does not do any harm to take the
chances at the present condition OF
affairs. This world is but a game
OF chance and the farmer has as
good right to play as anyone; es-
pecially when the odds are in his
favor. Again IL is asserted that
his chances of gain are eaten up by
the warehouse and elevator charges.
This is true. The proper place for
the farmer to store his wheat is in
his own store houses. Once their
grain is in the warehouse they are
in d measure placed at the mercy
of the buyer. With their goods on
their own farm they will be in
better shape to dictate the time
when they shall sell,

ATHENA, OCTOBER f1th, 1895.

HOLMES the Chicago murderer,
has been indicted by q grand jury
for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel.
AS the man has but one life to for
felt, this one indictment is all that
is necessary, provided, of course,
that there is enough evidence un-
covered to hang him, but what a
disappointment it must be to the
sensational readers--those of the
class who ghoulishly feed on the
bloody deeds; the brutal murders;
the stories Of crime and rape that
appear from day to day in the tele-
graphic columns of the daily press.
The savage eagerness with which
the sensational reading public
seize and devour accounts of dia-
bolical and revolving deeds of crime,
have been fostered and fondled by
the press of the country, until now
it has assumed the proportions of
a craze. The courts of justice have
set an example to the big dailies,
by oulling out and doing away
with, evidence which is of a revolt
ing or sensational character, when
ever it is possible to do so.

ANoTHER lNplAN SCARE.
A Report Current That the Indians May
Be Dangerous


Be Dangerous.
The La Grande Chronicle Of
Monday had the following:
According to a report that
reached this city Sunday the In
dams camping in the various parts
of Wallowa have eomm@ to
make themselves rather .Fle-
some. The seat of warfar lar
has been confined to Prairic 9k.
The trouble has not reached Tat
pitch of public moment that was
given to the affair at Jacksons
Hole, and yet it only lacks few
sensational dispatches to make it
of the same magnitude. 1t is very
evident that the Indians have been
literally supplied with fire-water.
A good big jag is not an uncommon
thing. An Indian may be good
one when sober but when he is well
loaded with bug juice he becomes
like the warrior Of old and tries to
find trouble and breed scab on
his nose. One of the braves got in
that happy state Of mind the other
day. He was located a few miles
east of Joseph and tackled Ed.
Jennings, a farmer who lives near
Enterprise, for his first victim. In
this connection the Wallowa Chief
tian says: "Mr. Jennings was
journeying along home in his usual
happy and peaceful frame Of mind
when a .dusky son of the forest
jumped out in front Of Eds team
and commenced to stir up matters
by making sundry threats and
using language that is seldom
found in elegant literature. Things
looked a little squally but Ed. was
equal to the occasion. He did not
run to town and wire the author
tiles al Washington, even the local
militia were left IN ignorance of
the pending trouble, and the op-
portunity for another big scare
was downed forever. He simply
slid off his wagon and approached
Poor Lo with smile that was
childlike and bland The debate
was short and to the point. The
argument was the la Corbett
style garnished with q few Fitz-
simmons under cuts. The storm
only lasted a moment and when
the clouds lifted it showed the
worst licked Indian that ever run
the Wallowa hills. The conversion
was quick but effective. The wig
wan knows the warrior no more
but the Pickering camp fire throws
it's uncertain rays on a heap good

yHYThe Indian scare on Prairie
feek may possibly develop into
Serious trouble, Should it do so
the blame will be with those who
are selling whiskey to the Indians.
If anyone is laboring under the de-
lusion that there is no violation of
the law in doing so they are mis-
taken. Even if Judge Bellinger's
decision permits it under the
United States law the state law alb
solutely prohibits 1t. We are only
informed by rumor who the parties
are and while the business is no

The ErlIit of Orapnn

Says the Philadelphia Bulletin:
"It is n little surprising that the
Oregon fruitgrowers have not made
a greater effort heretofore to ex-
plot their fruit products. 1t is not
like them to let it masquerade as
California fruit, But there need be
no great rivalry between the two
states. for their products are not
the same as q rule. California is
the home of the citrus fruits, and
Oregon of the harder kinds. Cali
fornia cannot grow apples to equal
the Oregon product, and, of course,
Oregon cannot grow oranges, 1t is
claimed, too, that of the fruits
which they produce in common,
the Oregon varities are the finer
and better favored. At all events,
it is always best to sell a thing on
its merits, and if the Oregon fruit
is all that is claimed for it Oregon
should have the credit for produc-
ing it"
