Chicago Wheat Deal Predict Good
Outlook For the Future.

Chicago Wheat Deal rs Predict a Good
Outlook For the Future.
Walter NJ. Pierce has just retur ed
to Pendletou from trip to Chica. o,
and to an East Oregonian Reporter
said concerning what he saw in CHI
cago;
VI talked with great many whe at
men - brokers and SPECTATORS who
make prices and excitement in the pit.
Without a single exception they pre-
dict good prices for next season. 1 did
n ~ Lalk with a man who thought the
Chicago market would be under 70
cedts in 1897, and many believed that
it would range more nearly the dollar
marx. All predicted that wheat would
not be under 60 cents in Eastern Ore
gon.
"One gentleman, Mr.. Green, of the
firm of Irwin, Green & Co., prominent
me nbers of tie Chicago exchange,
D.ks forward for FIVE years into the
future. He says that for this entire
period he does not think wheat will
realize less than q cent a pound to the
grower anywhere in the United States.
Other operators also believe it will
command good prices for series of
years.
''As may be imagined, the big deal
by which Joseph Letter becomes the
owner of between eight and ten million
bushels Of high grade wheat, is topic
OF intense interest on Change. Every
body seems to be afraid of Letter and
his future movements, and many be-
lieve that Armour and Letter really
understood one another instead of be-
ing king-pin opponents. Armour, of
course, has delivered millions of BUSH
els of contract wheat and received his
cnscks, nut it is thought this may be
only a play. There is a strong belief,
also, that the L-ler holdings will be
unloaded in Chicago, and
hat it is not the intention to ship the
wheat to Europe in any great quantity.
"In the agricultural districts of Illi-
,ois times are not nearly so good as in
Oregon. Pork only nets the |
armers three cents pound liveweight
md corn 20 to % cents per bushel.
The farmers are not so jubilant as our
,wn sons of the soil, and even feel
rifle blue. They say Mckinley seems
o have been altogether too partial to
he wheat raisers in arranging his
title affairs with Providence, and won
er why corn was overlooked in the
General scheme.
"There are many unemployed men
q the coal regions and manufacturing
istricts, where short-time work is the
ule. 1t would seem that there has
een scarcely any increase in employ
lent over a year ago. Illinois land

hree vr four years, on account OF the
oor revenue derived from corn raising

upon our own Oregon than

One of The pleasantest mask balls
ever given in The Dalles was that held
at the Vogt opera house last Friday
evening under the auspices of Wasco

the number of maskers was compar-
itively small, those who were en- mask
wore some elegant costumes, and acted
we'll the parts they assumed. The
most original characters and best acted
parts were taken by Joseph Stude-
nicka and Miss Julian. The former
represented a miner, en- route to Klon-
dixie, and we'll indeed did he personate
the traveller in search of gold. The
vehicle for reaching the land of prom
ise WAS entirely original, being BIZ
cycle constructed of two beer kegs,
for wheels. so arranged that it could
be forced over any kind of roads. Miss
Julian. took the part of ''cow GIRL"
and with lariat and armed with an
ever ready pistol and knife was most
striking figure fitting about the hall
among the maskers. 1t is needless to
add tn at both she and MIR. Stukenicka
were awarded the two first prizes for
the best sustained characters. The
maskers with the characters repre-
sented were as follows.

On New Year eve a very pleasant
party was given by Mrs. N. Harris, at

games of amusement were played, but
the most Important feature of the oc-

molten lead into water and reading
what fortune had in store for them
during the coming year in the forms
assumed by the lead. When games
ceased to longer amuse, Mrs. Harris
served dainty luncn that was relis ed

Oregon will raise cotton next year,
says the Oregonian. Its cotton crop

what effect Oregon cotton will have
on the industrial conditions of the fu-
ture. The cotton production of this

operations by the agricultural colles es
of Oregon and Washington.
Cotton is successfully grown in ti
panhandle of Texas at al6it lesrang
ing from 1000 to 1900 feet above the
sea, where frosts occur from the last
,Of October to the middle of April. In
some parts of Eastern Oregon frost
mas been absent through the entire
year. Portions Of Umatilla county are
especially favored in this respect.
The experiments with cotton will be
made in the arid and semiarid sections
of Eastern Oregon and Eastern WASH
ington-in Wasco, Sherman. Morrow
and Umatilla counties. of Oregon, and
Whitman and Adams counties, of
Washington. While the cotton plant
will stand great deal of moisture, it
can also endure drought. 1t sends
roots deep into the ground. In many
places where wheat is not q reliable
crop, or cannot be grown at all on ac-
count of the lack of moisture, it is be.
Iieved cotton will flourish. II SO. it
will solye the irrigation problem for
those sections. A thorough test will

in regard to some of Mr.. Baileys state

in regard to some of Mr.. Bailey's state
rents. -
Mr. Pritchard asked the commissioner If
ne would refer to Mr.. Bailey's statement
that he (Mr Procter) had said the chair
man of the committee on civil service and
retrenchment had called only witnesses 10
testify regarding civil service, when they
were antagonistic to civil service reform
Mr. Proctor, referring TO Mr.. Bailey S
memorandum TO Mr.. Roosevelt, said:
Il have In my possession n duplicate copy
of the paper which Mr.. Bailey produced
this morning. 1 have had it in my posses
sion for a long time. 1t came to me from
a United States senator. L did not know
who was the author of that paper until Mr.
Bailey gave his evidence before the COM
mittee the first time, and L was satisned
then that he was the author or the paper.
This paper had been passed around among
senators and was made the basis OF an at
tack on the civil service commission at the
time Mr.. Bailey was an applicant Tor the
position of civil service commissioners. L
sent for Mr. Bailey and told him that he
had been summoned not at the instance of
the commission, but, supposed, at the IN
stance of some senator who had seen that
paper l Furthermore told him that hither-
to the chairman had summoned persons
who had complaints to make against the
civil service law. -
II did not tell him, because L dld not
think it necessary, that in conference
With tnis committee l had expressed de-
to make against the civil service commls-
sioners or the law would nave the 1uliest
opportunity tc state their complaints, ana
after these complaints were all In would
,eouest that leople be summoned who had
large experience in important positions con-
cerninC the cIeration of the law-nof CLERKS
WHO had been reduced or removed, put
those who could speak from broauer view
of the law l told Mr.. Bailey there was a
line to be drawn between statements OF
facts aad the giving of mere opinions that
involved criticism of heads of departments
and the President"
In regard to Mr.. Bailey's statement that
the chief examiner had, after his testimony
had been given before the committee, toid
him to sign no more papers while ne tMr-
Seryen) was in the office, Mr.. Proctor said
the commission had, during the past year,
told the chief examiner that when he was
in the city no papers were to come to them
that did not bear his signature. 1T mad
happened that some papers came TO then
that they thought should not have been
sent. and they were signed by MI Barley.
IT deyeloped that the chief examiner olu
not approve the action taken by HIS as
sistant, and then the instruction regarding
the signing of such papers was repeated,
and 1T was not because of any testimony
given by Mr.. Bailey.

Washington's swell set have
come to look upon this estab-
hsfment as the one store where
can be found all the correct
styles in evening footwear.
Our showing of slippers, of
satin, bronze, suede, kid and
patent leather, stands without an
equal. OF satin slippers we car
ry all the usual shades in stock,
ready for immediate delivery
and when some particular shade
is desired we make the footwear
to order without extra charge.
We are ready to fill every order
intrusted to our care for foot
wear for receptions, balls, par
ties, dances, teas, etc.-there's
nothing missing from the stock
OF exclusive novelties" to mar
its perfect completeness. Indeed
there's no shoe store in this
city so able to meet the wants
of the swell set.
Nowhere else will you find
anything to compare with our
line of footwear for walking,
skating and golfng. There's
nothing like them in style and
wear.
We have recently fitted out
several Klondike parties with
suitable footwear for use in that
icy region. The shoes are con-
structed in a manner which
makes them entirely impervious
to water and peculiarly desirable
for rough wear. We are pre-
pared to fill all orders of this
sort-for any number of pairs.
In order to make room for the
new spring stock we are offering
ladies' fine footwear of deerskin,
calf and kid-which sold for
$3.50, 81 and $4.5o-for $2.48.
