PLENTY OF FEED.
Monument StOckmen Well Sup.
piled for Winter.

Oscar Schafer, the Grant county
sheepman. was in from Monument Fri
| day. Mr.. Schafer states that most of
the sheepmen in the Monument country
are well fixed for feed, having plenty of
hay. and stockmen generally do not fear
losses this winter, from lack of feed.
The reports that sheepmen were short
of hay and would be forced to sell,
which were circulated early in the fall,
had the effect of bringing in several
buyers to the Monument country, but
little business has been transacted ow-
ing to the fact that the reports were un.
true. The favorable fall weather has
also had decided tendency to strength
en- the sheep market. Next to the
mountains, and in fact most everywhere
there is considerable moisture, and with
the warm days grass has grown rapidly
and sheep are looking we'll. Buyers
have been looking for yearling wethers
and lambs. Offers of $15O for mixed
lambs and So for yearing wethers haye
been made. These figures have pre-
vailed generally.
John Ambrose cold 1900 head of
mixed lambs for 81 so per head.

to say more concerning the reported
frauds in connection with the public
lands than that they are receiving care

land in some times two days, rarely
more than three, while deliveries from
Seattle and Tacoma frequently took four
and FIVE. An instance was cited of one
large local firm which has house of its
own in Seattle and still prefers to pur-
chase in Portland on account of the time
gained.
Nothing immediate has been accomp-
lished. The trip will not result in diver
sion of orders next week, or next month
or anything like that. But there seems
little doubt, though, it will result in a
concerted effort by local people interest
ed and bv the Puget Chamber of Com
merce to secure an improvement of the
railroad service.
A through sleeper from Walla Walla
to Seattle or Tacoma will be the first at
tempted step, then through train. then
fast freight service. The Puget Sound
contingent is supposed to 60 home in the
morning, but as the tickets do not expire
until Sunday, many will stay over and
pursue trade topics further.
The Seattle spirit was quite strongly
in evidence today, though the Tacoma
wholesalers outnumbered the Seattleites
in activity. The argument of "home
business" was the chief one used.

.LahD office IS TIED Up
Receiver Asa Thompson, at La
Grande, Suspended.
WILL BE ALLOWED TRIAL
The Case Against the Receiver was
Worked Up by Special Ir-
spectOr Green.
WILL BE ALLOWED TRIAL

Washington, Oct. 27.-Asa B. Thorn.
son was today suspended from the office
of Receiver of Public Moneys at LIZ
Grande until further notice, pending hit
trial on a charge of soliciting bribes
Word to this effect was telegraphed him
by Secretary Hitchcock this afternoon
The Secretary has not determined what
future course he will pursue toward
Thomson.
The suspension penalty closes the La
Grande office save for the filing of
papers, for no actual business can be
transacted unless both Register and Re.
ceiver are present. No one can be des-
ignated temporarily to act for either
officer. The Secretary does not wish
to throw unnecessary obstacles in the
way of bona fide entrymen in the La
Grande district, whose filings must
necessarily be held up during Thom-
sons suspension; nor, on the other
hand has he concluded that he is .iusti-
fled in removing Thomson on an indict-
ment and prior to trial. II Is recognized
however, that the grand jury must have
had strong evidence or it would not
have brought in an indictment, and it is
by no means improbable that the dele
CATION may soon be asked to recon-
mend some one for the office in order
that an appointment may be made and
the business of the LaGrande Office be
resumed.
No such request has vet been made of
the Senators; in fact, they have heard
nothing from the department about the
case. Both Senator Mitchell and Sena-
tor Fulton learned before leaving Ore
gon that Thomson was likely to be in
dicted, but neither had an opportunity
to hear his side OF the case. They
were none the less dspleased to learn,
however, that the man whose appoint
ment they had so recently secured
should have been actually indicted.
WHAT MITCHELL HAS TO SAY.
III Thomson is guilty as charged, he |
shall have no more support from me-"
declared Senator Mitchell with great
emphasis, but both he and Senator Full
ton admit there is possibility that
Thomson may establish his innocence.
They hesitate to believe him guilty, for
they say his past record and reputation
have been beyond reproacb. Further
more they question whether a man in
position, even though his in
tentions be dishonest, would dare, at
this time, when the state is being
secured for land frauds, attempt such
actions as are charged against him.
Both Senators have heard rumors that
Thomson is the victim Of: conspiracy
worked up by men who became in
censed because he refused to become a
party to their fraudulent schemes. They
5hink Thomson should not be dismissed
prior to trial, although admitting the
ustice in his suspension. The case
against Thomson was worked up by In
pector Green.

THE COST OF LIVING.

During the past eleven months the
gross earnings of the Southern Railway
Company showed an increase of 900
while the net earnings showed an increase
of only 1886, 2lS., For the month OF May
the gross earnings increased s269.593. while
the net earnings increased only ;50,371.
For the same month the Pennsylvania
Railroad showed an immense increase In
the gross earnings. but very little increase
In the net earnings.
This means that the operating expenses
of the railroads have increased as the
earnings have increased. The increase
in operating expenses is due to the In
creased cost of materials and higher
wages. There has been much complaint OF
late about the increased cost OF living
and some people say that they are worse
off when times are prosperous than when
times arc hard, because 1t costs them so
much more to live In prosperous times
But 1t cannot be otherwise. In times OF
prosperity there Is brisk demand for
everything and with a brisk demand
prices necessarily go up. 1t would be an
ideal situation to have wages at tho high
point and the price of commodities at the
low point, but such Il situation would
be contradictory and is an impossibility.

ONLY A BUBBLE.

In referring to some remarks OF ours
concerning the collapse of the Hampton
Roads Shipbuilding Company, with cap
rtal Of 100000. tho Norfolk Ledger
says:
I'VE are satisfied that everybody here
abouts regrets the failure of the Trige
Company and would be gratified to see
the company reorganized and continue It's
career of usefulness That was legiti-
mate venture, in which much Virginia
capital was Invested, and while we think
a better, location for 1t might have been
chosen, 1t was doing an excellent WORK
for Richmond and the State.
''About all that the public ever knew
OF the Norfolk Hampton Roads Ship
building and Dry Dock Company was
that a prospectus was Issued and an at
tempt made to get the public Interested
In the purchase of lots at prices ranging
from 500 to $3.50 per lot. before any satis-
factory evidence was furnished that the
ship yard would materlallze."
1t would appear from this that we did
not understand the fact. We thought
that this was q sure-enough sh!pbuiid-
ing company. It had been extensively
advertised as such, but as the Norfolk
Ledger and the Newport News Press
now give assurance that the company was
organized to sell lots. and not to build
ships we let the incident close without
further remark.
