FARMERS, to a great extent, as
sist in holding down the price OF
wheat. This is done by placing
the grain in the warehouse of the
grain buyer before sale has been
made. A few rough boards and a
little work and the result would be
warehouse at home. Then the
buyer would not have the cinch he
now has on your wheat by having
it in his possession.

THOSE little, white, feathery balls
that you have observed flying
through the air the past two weeks,
are the seed of thistle. They are
allowed to grow along the railroads,
highways, and vacant lots and out
of-way places, and if it is not
checked, it's only a matter of a
short time until the wheat fields OF
Umatilla county will be literally
covered with this obnoxious, soil
absorbing weed, 1t is a rank in-
justice to allow these thistles, or, for
that matter, any weed that is detri.
mental to crops to grow and ma.
ture, when in all probability your
neighbor is doing all in his power
to keep a clean field. There is
trouble, and lots of it, too, in store
for the Umatilla county farmer if
steps are not taken to destroy the
growth Of this thistle and the Chi
nese lettuce.

an additional source of natural
wealth.
Considering how many times
larger the United States are than
the United Kingdom, with double
the population, the prospects for
the same industry within the Uni
ted States can be measured. Trans
porI ion is measured in ton miles,
not IN volume alone. The volume
mus, be multiplied into the dis
tanc Thus viewed, it is not too
much 10 say that the call within
the L lited States for the power
road wagon is some scores of times
as great as it can be in the United
Kingdom or France. This general
truth has been amply illustrated
by the bicycle and the trolley. The
power road wagon comes only to
add a fresh instance to the other
two.
There is no difficulty in foresee-
ing the rise of power wagon factor
les rivaling some of the great car
shops or the factories for trolley
equipment, or of bicycles. Nor is
this result far in the distance. So
much for the economical aspect of
the invention, but this aspect is far
from disposing of it. AS a means
and source of pleasure the power
road wagon is of limitless possibili-
ties. 1t is needless to expatiate on
this feature of the bicycle, or, for
that matter, of the rural and semi
rural trolley. They are combining
to change the habit of the people.
But the road wagon promises, and
in France is already beginning to
realize scarcely less. 1t has been
we'll said that one no longer trav-
els; one departs and arrives. The
interval is a period of imprison-
ment in a moving Jail; it is not
travelling.
The power road wagon contrib
utes to change this. 1t cannot dis
place the horse as an adjunct to
the pleasure Of the open air any
more than the wheel can displace
him from the use of those who are
in position to taste the joys of the
saddle. But, just as the wheel now
takes its tens or hundreds into the
open air from one who went before,
SO the power road wagon will take
its ten or its hundreds for one who
takes the air in similar fashion
now. Just as the wheel has prov
ed eminently the democratic road
ster, SO is the power road wagon
destined to show that it is eminent
ly the democratic vehicle. Not
that machine of this sort will be
owned by persons of small means,
but that it will be put on the road
for the patronage Of the masses.
The railways were unable at the
outset to believe that the trolley
could interfere with their virtual
monopoly; the railroads know more
now than they did. Probably the
trolley and other modes of surface
transportation would scout the no.
tion that the power road wagon can
ever come to interfere with their
function. They are destined to
learn as we'll as to live. Transfer
ence from point to point is not all
of travel; the mode has something
to do with it, The wheel is the
pioneer ofgood roads. 1t touches
the button" so to speak, the power
road wagon is destined TO do the
rest. Give it time.

THE POWER ROAD WAGON.
A Thing of Slow Evolution, Its Future
Is Great.
New York Evening Sun. /


The power road wagon has been
q thing of slow evolution. It has
developed, it is true, in less time
than the bicycle did, still, the pow
er road wagon has already a prac-
ticable form in France five years
ago. Since that date gradual i'm.
provements have been in progress,
until now all can recognize that we
have with us a vehicle that has
come to stay. Last year Paris
newspaper offered large sum in
prizes for a competitive road wag-
on trial from Paris to Marseilles,
and now we learn that an English
technical journal has made a sim
liar offer for an English trial of the
same kind.
The power road wagon as it now
exists appears in special way to fav-
or Americna inventive genius. The
foreign models are much too heavy,
that is to say, are much heavier
than need be. 1t is entirely safe
to make the prediction that within
three years from the initial manu-
facture of the new vehicle in the
United States, one.quarter at least
of its weight will have been dispen-
sed with. This is no more than
repetition of the history of the
manufacture of every variety of
road vehicle. The American bicy-
Gle of '95 is from seven to nine
pounds lighter than its European
counterpart. When American
travellers landed with their wheels
in England this season, the bicycle
papers there undertook to deride
the tlimsy structures.
One leading authority said that
it would like to see the same wheels
after they had done seasons work
over English roads. Well, during
the coming month Of September,
the paper in question will have the
opportunity it yearned for, as the
wheelmen take their return steam
ships. 1t will then be in position
to allow that the British fact ories
have still to learn how to build
wheel. Doubtless, the American
'95 wheel is lighter than is best for
general road purposes, but, doubt
less, too, an addition not exceed
ing three pounds in weight will
give it all the additional strength
called for by durability. Assum-
ing that the '96 wheel will exhibit
this change, it will still be one
sixth lighter than the foreign mod
els.
All Of this might have been safe
ly predicted, since it was no more
than duplication of the American
precedent with every other form of
road and racing vehicle. Hence
there seems no sort of risk in pre-
dieting an identical result with the
of the future, the power
road wagon. The English techni-
cal newspaper which now offers the
very handsome premiums above
referred to, explains that it does
not foresee great manufacture
destined to come into existence in
this field, as has already been wit
messed in the case of the bicycle.
Its motive in offering the prizes is
TO promote and hasten the develop
ment Of this industry, in itself

TIE Hook and Ladder company

THE Hook and Ladder company
undertook to have a meeting Mon
day night. It was their regular
meeting night, and we understand,
by hard work quorom was drum
med up, and business transacted.
There seems to be a tendency on the
part Of the members to drag. The
city has gone to great expense in
purchasing fire apparatus, and now
have a first class equipment. A
floating or transient population can
not be depended on as members of
the fire department. The only way
city of Athena's size can have an
efficient department is for the busi-
ness men to come to the front and
take an active part. By that way
only can Athena have a depart
ment that can be relied on at all
times and under all circumstances.

is what an Eastern Oregon editor
has been preaching to the readers
of his paper for some time. With
wheat at the present low price, the
Umatilla county farmer would

HOW to get out of debt, The farm.
er once out of deb. will stay out.
The dearly acquired experience of
the past has more than the lesson:
''stay out of debt" A person ad-
vocating theory, an argument or
a subject for the advancement of
mankind, is naturally supposed to
be in manner conversant with
the question he is handling and,
consequently, is looked to for his
solution of the problem which he
has unravelled. The average farm
er, when once out of debt, will stay
out. But to get out-"ave there's
