from trip to Harvey Valley and

with enthusiasm streaming from

of Weiser appreciate that identical

Purchaser for Blake's Old Line.
ABOUT SI5O,OOO EXPENDED
Property Considered Very Valuable, Includ-
ing Right-Of-Way and Some Rolling
Stock.

Baker City, Ore, Oct. 19.-The
Northwest railroad was sold this
afternoon by Wallace McCamant,
master in chancery, on an order of
the court directing that the property
and franchises be sold TO satisfy the
claims and judgments against the
company.
The Northwest railroad was pro-
iected some years ago. 1t starts
from Huntington, where it connects
with the Oregon Short Line, and fol-
low Snake river on the Oregon side
to the Seven Devils country and
from there has been surveyed through
to Lewiston, Idaho.
There was only one bid, that OF
Louis Rosenweig, of Erie, Pa, who
bid $35, 600. Rosenweig acted fol
Chas. n. Reed, who is large creditor
of the Northwest railroad.
About II miles out tue grade OF
the road has been completed, anc
two or three engines and several cars
were purchased and two ranches OF
considerable value belong to the
road. The property and franchise
which include the right-of-way, are
considered very valuable. Abou
$150,000 has been expended on The
road so far. The original owners o
the road also owned the Iron Dyk'
copper mine, which is one of tn
most valuable copper properties Il

without the completion Of this rail
road, by means of which the ore ca
be transported to market.

The following market letter is fur

grain, seeds, provisions, commission
merchants, No. Chamber of Com
MERGE, Minneapolis 80 Board of
Trade, Duluth
Nov 6.-During the past week
wheat, corn and oats have been active
and strong and have advanced in
price. For the week Minneapolis De-
cember wheat is up 2 cents, and the
May option l cent. The causes of the
advance are the enormous exports and
a very active cash market. The ac-
ton of France in taking possession of
a Turkish port has also had effect.
English consuls declined on the war
news, and this helped wheat. The
visible for last week increased only
one-half million bushels, whereas, an
increase of one and one half millio n
bushels was expected The English
visible supply decreased S51, 600 bushels
last week, which contrasts with an
increase of nearly million bushels for
the same week last year. At Mime
apolis No. 2 northern has sold at the
same price with the December potion,
and No. 1 northern at 2 cents over.
The Car situation is worse than it
has, been. Minneapolis millers have
bid premium of one-half cent per
bushel for wheat in cars that could be
loaded with -four for shipment east
Corn advanced on the strong situation.
Cash corn is 65 cents per bushel at
Kansas City, 5 cents over Chicago and
at st. Louis corn on the cob has sold
in small lots at so cents per bushel
The Mexican government has sus-
pended the tariff on wheat, which
amounts to 80 cents per bushel and
Mexico has taken one-half million
bushels of wheat from us, on account
of the scarcity and high price of corn
in the southwest. 1t looks like a
strong old-fashioned bull market.

grain trade, write for our free privite

NORTHERN PACIFIC TANeLE.
Authoritatively Stated That Basis Of
Settlement Has Been Reached.

New York, Nov. THE Times says:
The main points in the settlement Of
the Northwestern railway tangle have
at last been agreed upon. This state
ment was made by member Of the
Hartman syndicate and also by
James j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railroad. Many minor de-
tails remain unsettled, however, and it
Is possible some Of the main features
may be slightly modified. It is ex-
pected, nevertheless, that the plan in
its entirety will be completed by the
end of the present week.
The principal features of the settle
pent plan are the reorganization of
the stocllholding company and the de-
cision not to retire the Northern Pa
cific preferred stock. The latter
proposition was the one on which cen
tered the major part of the discus
sion, and, it is stated, that contention
of the Union Pacific interests that
permanent peace could only be OBJ
tanned by a due recognition of their
rights finally won. In the new stock
holding com pany by which the various
stock issues are to be funded the for
mer contending interests will be
equally represented.

GOVERNOR GRANT OBJECTS.
Does Not Want Military Authority In.
creased in LeYte.

Manila, Nov. 1.-THE recent devel-
opments in the island of Samar have
caused the military authorities to take
extraordinary precautions in the isl
and of Leyte. Provincial Governor
Grant objects to these on the ground
that by reducing the authority of the
civil government they set a bad ex-
ample to the people.
In a communication to Vice Gov
ernor Wright Mr.. Grant says that al
though three presidents and one vice
president have been arrested in Leyte
for reasonable correspondence with
the insurgents these people have not
represented the islanders generally,
who appreciate the blessings Of civil
government.
In the main, according to Mr.. Grant,
the natives of Leyte are quiet and
subdued. They fear, moreover, that
they may be mistaken for the natives
of Samar. They have been powerless
to refuse the demands made upon them
by Lukban for food and assistance
owing to the refusal of General Smith
to allow themselves arms for self
protection.
