OKLAHOMA BUYS EN-

lncidently the operation of thr
slot machine law has been hard on
cigar stands. a great number Of
the smaller ones, particular
ly in the resident district, have
been Obliged to close up, and
some changes In the drug trade
have been attributed To the loss of
revenue previously brought by the
machines. One downtown cigar
dealer, who, during the hcydny Of
the slot machines, kept open all
night, now closes his doors prompt-
ly at o'clock and scldow has to
ask anyone TO leave the premises.

The management is first class, Mr..

experience in the business, and
Mr.. NARROW has been in the mill
ling business from boy. The
result of this finely equipped, well
managed mill Is several fine

POTATO SITUATION.
As Given BY a Representative OF a Well
Known Eastern Commission Firm.

81 look for potatoes to drop to $l2 per
ton before winter sets in, though l will
not say that $25 or $27 per ton will not
be realized before next spring." said A..
D. White, representing the commission
firm of Mckinney Bros. & Co. of Kansas
City, to HERALD reporter this week.
Mr. White has been in the city for the
past seven weeks purchasing potatoes
and onions for his firm and has shipped
on an average of Is cars a day from the
state. He has buyers in Eastern Wash
ington who have been shipping more
than he has from this point.
"My reasons for thinking the present
high price will not be maintained" he
continued, "are simple enough. At the
present time Scotland is putting pota-
toes down in New York at from IS to 80
cents per bushel. The shipments daily
from that country amount to 1000 tons
and will continue as long as good wealth
er prevails. This is one of the causes of
the drop in prices. Colorado has this
year the biggest crop in her history and
Michigan also has big crop, which are
being harvested and sent to market.
These also aided in sending the prices
down. In the drought affected districts
the crop is short, but the shipments
from Europe make up partly for the
shortage. l look for the prices to go
down to $l2 before very long. However,
l should like to buy so car loads at pres
for immediate shipment at a price be-
low SIG per TOM
Mr.. White has shipped % car loads of
potatoes and one car of onions from
North Yakima, to his house. From the
Palouse country he has shipped several
hundred cars. He would have shipped
more from this point, but he could buy
the potatoes cheaper in the Palouse
country than he could here and that the
freight rate is much lower. He says the
potato over there is considered as good
as the Yakima product. He holds that
the Sound demand for potatoes has kept
the price high here and if it does not 90
much lower this demand will be the
cause of it and not the demand of the
east. He will leave here shortly and 60
to California to purchase for his firm.

WILL SHUT OFF EARLY.
Water In Sunnysde Canal to Be Eliminated
November I.

Water in the Sunnyside canal will be
shut off this year on Novem Der l, instead
of December, l as heretofore. This
step is taken as a matter OF necessity by
the company and everybody is hereby
notified that this rule will be enforced
hereafter. Walter N. Granger, superin-
tendent OF the Washington Irrigation
Co., was in the city on Wednesday and
gave his reasons for asking the people
down there to cease using water before
December.
at is matter of necessity with us,
said Mr.. Granger to the HERALD report
er. ave do not want to deprive any
one OF water, but it is not customary in
any place in the country to have water
in the canals over four or five months in
the year. We have been keeping it on
seven and half months, more as an ac-
commodation to the people than any
thing else. But because in other places
water is turned off earlier in the season
is no reason why we should do the same
thing.
"Our reason for so doing is to give us
more time to repair the canal. When
we turned off on December LIST, cold
weather was usually upon us and the
canal became froze over, preventing us
from doing any repair work until spring.
This delayed us so that the work could
never be properly done by the time the
people wanted water in the spring. You
understand that before any cleaning of
the canal can be done it must be free
from water long enough to allow the
earth to become dry SO we can work
with it. Now, in turning off in Decem-
Der the canal would not dry out till
February and sometimes later. BY
turning off November /, the canal will
be dry enough so we can have it cleaned
out before winter sets in and then in the
winter months the other repairs can be
made. hope this will not inconven-
fence the people along the canal to any
great extent. for | feel that everybody
will be benefited by this change in the
long rum
Mr.. Granger suggests that all those
who have cisterns to I'll from the canal

from under him, throwing him to the
ground. Both bones OF his left arm at
the wrist were snapped in two and his
hand was hanging limp when he got up
Drs. Burns and Dulin at once reduced
the fracture and dressed the wounds. 1t
will be some time before the boy gets
his arm out of the sling.

Stop Hobo Riding.

Orders have been issued by the North.
ern Pacific and Great Northern railways
to their trainmen to stop hobo riding on
all trains. Such an order, of course, has
always been among the rules OF the road,
but it was never enforced to the letter
1t is the intention OF the companies to
enforce it strictly hereafter, and if
need be, special officers will be put on
the trains to keep the tramps off. If
those companies carry out their plans,
the hobo nuisance will abate in the
northwest.
