REGULAR RUNS.

During the hunting season they have
regular runs twice week. which are al
ways we'll attended and heartily enjoy

do not lose sight of the profit that may be
derived from it. for at the same time they
are schooling their young horses for the
northern market, where they are much
sought after.

The Pendleton fire department will

ington Firemen's Association, as in pre-
vious years.
The Pendleton Weekly Republican,
of which ]. P. McManus was editor and
manager, the plant being owned by
Mrs. Mary A. Murphy, has been sold to
Elmer P. Dodd, owner of the Pendleton
Semi-Weekly Tribune. and the business
of the two papers will be combined, the
Tribune absorbing the Republican.
F. H. Ross, advertising agent of the
Pendleton Republican, is wanted on
charge of fraudulently issuing checks
on the Pendleton Savings Bank. Mr.
Ross was, at different times, travelling

Frank Turner and Al Keeton, who kill

hours after the shooting occurred, the
deputy sheriff having business else

they had ample time to fully plan their
escape.
William Gibson of Pendleton, Ore. a
buyer of cattle, has purchased 295 head
from three stock men on Butter creek
]. B. Saylor furnished him 1877, R. N
Stanfleld so and Jesse Moore As. They
constitute choice lot of cattle, which
have been kept by the Butter creek
stock men throughout the winter, and
came through to the spring in fine con-
dition. The Saylor lot average 400
pounds apiece, and of the others 100
weigh the same as the Saylor cattle,
and the balance average 1900 pounds.
They will be shipped to the Sound.
These 295 head constitute but a small
portion of the total OF 1000 head of fat
cattle which are neld in the Butter
creek country, and the fact that these
stock men sold yesterday may indicate
that the expressed intention on the part
of the stock men in that region to hold
until fall has been changed, and from
this time on frequent sales may take
place.

Under the laws of Idaho all property
sold for delinquent taxes becomes the

not redeemed within five years. This

United states and Turkey.

Unless the sultan of Turkey acts
very promptly Ali Ferrough Bey, the
Turkish minister, will be given his pass
ports and diplomatic relations between the
United States and Turkey will be sus
pended until the sultan pays 100000 due
citizens of the United States.
1t is understood that an ultimatum stat
ing that diplomatic relations will be sew
cred unless the claims are paid is ready
for presentation to the Turkish govern
ment. 1t is known at the department that
the Turkish minister advised his govern
ment yesterday relative to the situation
and time will be given for the sultan to
act before the ultimatum will be issued.
There has been some discussion of the
plan, in the event that the sultan still
continues obstinate, to seize port of
Turkey and collect customs to an amount
equal to the claim 1t is believed that
international complications could be avert
ed by notifying the continental powers
that it was the intention of the United
States to remain III possession of the port
only long enough to collect the money.
The administration is adverse, however,
to going beyond severance of diplomatic
relations. No serious thought has been
given to military or naval demonstra-
ton, as the administration has all
the war ON hand it cares TO deal
with for the present. Should Ali Fer
rough Bey be given his passports 1t would
amount to saying that Turkey is a dis
honest government. The state department
officials believe that the sultan will not
be willing to have his country thus ad-
vertised to the world.
Inquiries made by the Associated Press
regarding the attitude of Great Britain
and other powers towards the American
Turkish difficulties reveal the fact that
no one has any intention of interfering
in any way. The British government OF
fcials do not disguise their delight at the
stand taken by Washington.

Trade Report.
Bradstreet's report for the past week
says
More, rather than less, irregularity
in the trade and price situation is to be
noted this week. partly as the result of
weather conditions, but partly in the
case of the iron and steel trade. be.
cause of the continuance OF those eff
forts in the direction of lower prices.
which have been such a feature of the
iron and steel trade of late. That the
basic conditions Of trade remain on the
whole favorable u.s., however, evidenced
by a number of features. Railroad
earnings continue heavy and the de-
crease noted in bank clearings is charg-
able largely to religious and other holt
day observations and to restricted
stock speculation. Heavy rains and a
cool spell of weather early in the week
had depressing effect on trade and
collections, but with the advent of a
warm spring temperature improved
conditions of retail demand, which is at
present a most important element in
the general trade situation, have been
noted.
The bear campaign in iron and steel
took on new phase this week, when a
number of new wire mills were shut
down as alleged because of an over
supply of these goods. The announce.
ment has had an unsettling effect upon
general demand as was probably ex-
pected, and new domestic business is
interfered with. The strength of the
export demand previously noted In
these columns, however, is still fea-
ture, and we have the best of reasons
for believing that a very large quantity
of southern iron sold this week to go
abroad at nearly or about full prices.
| The price changes are along lines here
tofore noted, though some sympathetic
weakening of pig iron is reported.
| Wire prices are apparently unchanged.
Steel billets are weak at the decline.
| Wool is weak, but there is rather
more inquiry and now as ore year ago
relatively highest prices rule at points
of production.
Backward conditions. have affected
the lumber trade demand, but in this,
/ as Ill IL NUMBER OF OInef lines, the al
vanced prices demanded are credited
with checking business. The pressure
of heavy supplies is responsible for the
slight weakening shown in the price Of
raw sugar this week, while the refined
market remains unchanged. Weather
influences are again reflected in the
market for dairy products, which have
weakened under large receipts.

says the latest official news was that fight

of Dewitsdorp, with no results. The Trans
vaal government, ii is added, has asked
Lord Roberts to be allowed to send cler-
gyman to st. Helena and also neutral
consul to watch the interests of the pris-
oners in the same manner as Adelbert Hay
guards the interests of the British at Pre-
tOria
A proclamation has been issued prohib-
iting the working of the mines on Sun
days and inflicting punishment on man
ayers paying over one pound a month to
natives.
From Ladysmith comes a dispatch say
ing all is quiet and the Boer guns are 81
lent. There is nothing further from Bloem-
fontein to indicate the progress of the
preparations for the main advance.
At Cape Town a government contractor
named BAN has been arrested for harbor-
ing three escaped Boer prisoners, dressed
as clergymen.
The Beers are reported as mastering
every man capable of carrying a rifle and
as taking their ambulance corps into the
fghting line. They are alleged to have
from 5000 to 10000 men in the district be-
tween Dewitsdorp and Wepener, where
heavy fighting is reported Friday and Sat
urday. They are also described occupying
line ten miles long in upper Natal and
as Smelling the British positions at Glands
laagte on Saturday with undated spirit.
The motive of this activity is not clear,
but it is surmised that the Beers are
anxious to prevent the transfer of British
forces from Natal to Bloemfontein and
Boshof, which apparently is still in prog
ress.
