MAY CHANGE PLANS
ELECTRIC COMPANIES POWER
PLANT MAY BE LOCATED ON
DORRITY PLACE.
Local Company Has Recently Acquir-
ed Water Power of the Athena
Gas Company.

The Northwestern Gas and Electric
company's new power plant on the
south fork of the Walla Walla river
may be located at the junction of the
two streams on the Dorrity place in
stead of the Roberts ranch as first
contemplated.
The company recently obtained the
water power of the Athena Gas and
Electric company extending from the
Dorrity place to a point four miles up
stream and surveyors are at work at
present running lines for a pipe line.
Until the work is completed and the
engineer in charge makes his report
to the head officials the exact location
of the new plant will remain in doubt
If sufficient power can be secured on
the lower site in all Likelihood it will
be the choice as the cost Of transport

HITCHCOCK AFTER HERMANN.
Seeks for knowledge of Destroyed Let
ter Books.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Sec
rotary Hitchcock has begun a deter
mined investigation to ascertain
whether the thirty-six letter books
which former Commissioner Binger
Hermann, of the genera, land office,
destroyed when he resigned his Office
contained official documents and COM
munications Of the interior depart
ment.
Mr.. Hermann, who is now a men,
Der Of congress from Oregon, declared
that all the 5000 copies Of letters were
entirely personal. Secretary Hitch
cock does not believe this, and it is
thought that the investigation has al
ready brought to light some damaging
evidence.
The law regards the destruction of
official documents and letters as a fell
ony, punishable by heavy fine or I'M
prisonment or both. Section 54O3 Of
the revised statutes provides:
Every person who. willfully de-
stroys or attempts to destroy or with
intent to steal or destroy takes and
carries away any records, paper or pro-
ceeding of a court or any paper or
document or record filed or deposited
in any public Office or with any judi
cial or public officer shall without ref
arence to the value of the record pa
per, document or proceedings so taken,
pay a fine of not more than $4,000 or
suffer Imprisonment at hard labor for
not more than three years, or both"
Section 5408 of the revised statutes
imposes the same penalties upon any
government official destroying govern
nent records, but adds the words:
And shall moreover forfeit his Of
fee and be forever afterwards dis
qualified from holding any office under
the government of the United States"
If it should be proven as a result
of the present investigation that Mr..
Hermann destroyed any official mat
ter, whether of value or not, he would
under the law not only be punished
and lose his seat in the house, but he

congress. Not only is Secretary Hitch
cock determined to find out wether
the destroyed letters were official, but
he will try to ascertain if they con-
tanned any evidence valuable to the
prosecution Of the present land scan
dals.

Il Home and Foreign Markets. !
ON TOBOCGAN SLlDE| SCARCITY OF CARS
THE WHEAT MARKET TOOK AN
OTHER SLIDE DOWNWARD
AGAIN TODAY.
Only Redeeming Feature Was That It
Did Not Go Lower-little Bust
ness Around Local Offices.

The only redeeming feature about
she worlds wheat market today was
the fact that it did not seek a lower
level Chicago and Liverpool markets
showed a downward tendency again
today Chicago making the low point
of TIA although the close was consid-
erably above this at 1874, or a quarter
off from the opening. Liverpool closed
an eighth lower than yesterday at
6 shillings As pence.
Weather conditions did not tempt
many farmers to the city today conse-
Quently business around local offices
was very quiet. Quotations changed
but little from yesterday, blue steam
being priced at y to 1912 on board
cars and club four to five cents lower.
The West Coast Trade this week says
that trading in wheat continues In a
small way. Holders are letting go
only in limited quantities, and buyers
are unable to make large purchases
under ruling conditions. The situation
wants of the mills. SO long as the
demand from this source is sufficient
10 largely absorb the wheat thrown on
the market at the interior there is lit
tie prospect of a change from present
line of operations. At this time there
is no subsistence in the wants of the
milling trade, and values are buoyed
up on the strength of this factor,
without any particularly stable basis
for quotations. At the moment club
is held at 7Sc and bluestem at SIC,
even better limits having been paid
in a small way to supply pressing de-
mands The foreign market is not
taken into account to any large extent,
though it would be possible to do bus
sness for export with comparative
now being paid.
Foreign Clearances for the week
were nil, and no new business is re-
ported in the charter market, where
tonnage is nOminally rated at los Sd
@16s Cd. Very little wheat is arriv-
ing at tidewater, the total grain re-
ceipts for the week aggregating 227
cars or 222 46n bushels wheat, "A cars

For October only 933 cars of wheat
were inspected at this port and for

ESTIMATES THE NOME OUTPUT.
Dr.. Whitehead Says .S6,000,000 Has
Been Produced This Season.

SEATTLE, Nov. 5.-Probably the
most reliable authority on the gold
production of the Nome region is DR..
Cabell Whitehead, fthe Alaska Bank
& Safe Deposit company, who makes
particular effort each season to as
certain with the greatest degree of re-
liability possible under the circum-
stances the production of each of the
largest companies and estimates with
care the amount produced by small
operators. DR.. Whitehead's estimate Of
the gold production Of the Nome re-
gion for the season just closed IS &c.
100000. This is an increase Of half a
million dollars over the production Of
1902 and an increase Of a million AND
a half over the production of 1901.

The company also has several car
loads of produce at upstate points

condition prevails there and some de-
lay will probably be experienced in the
matter of transportation.
