week across First and Second streets,
though the workmen are obliged to wait
for better weather in order to resume
their work.
In speaking OF the wheat market the
Pacific Farmer says: The most discourag
ing feature OF the market is the low
price and seeming inactivity of tn whea
market. On account of the higher
prices for other materials the shipping
trade is leaving the wheat which makes
slow demand with no prospects for
rise until the European market begins to
get on unless there is an extra demand
from across the Pacific.
A copy OF the Alberta Sun just received
contains the following item. The Mr..
Wells referred to is the son of G. B.
Wells OF this city: Seven years ago Mr..
Douglas started in with capital of $40.
He has chung faithfully to Leduc through
fair and foul weather. Now he is one of
the most prominent merchants in the
country, with standing second to none.
Mr.. Douglas is assisted in the business
by his nephew, Reuben. and his brother
Fred. Mr.. Ed Wells occupies the posi-
ton OF chief efclerk, and is not only extrem-
popular in his business capacity but as
one of the social luminaries.
A new member has been added to the
agricultural museum of the UNioN-GA-
zETTE and it is no less wonderful than
the many others among which it poses.
The lately added curio is a turnip-not
the one that Mr.. Finney grew behind
lis barn-but this one is from the farm
IF Martyr Williams, near Monroe. To
'ay it is big turnip only partly tells the
ale. The big fellow is 35 inches in cir
tips the scales at thirteen
Iounds and is sound and perfect.
The result at Corvallis will surprise
he Oregon football world, says the Asto-
ian. The University Of Oregon has SO
confidently claimed its superiority over
he other intercollegiate teams that it
vas generally expected that Multnomah
would have .walkoyer. The score
hows that the game was nearly an even
hing. Multnomah beat the U of 0 boys
to and now the same score defeats
he OAC. This will send the OAC
took up booming for the intercollegiate
mpionship game, Thanksgiving day.

Nearly everything but the products of
he soil is being controlled by the trusts
r other combinations of capital. Yet
he farmer is the man who moves the
7orld. IL he should refuse to raise a
rop for single year it would produce a
lore disastrous effect than would result
rom universal strike of all the brother
oods of railroad employees and trade [
mons combined. He, with his glitter ]
1g plowshare, furnishes substance for !
verybody, and if he should .sgo out' he {
ould paralyze the commerce of the
