GRAIN HARVEST HAS BEGUN
Yield in Polk County Will Probably
Exceed All Expectations.

Threshing of Fall wheat began in
Polk county this week, and in a few
days harvesting will be on in full
blast in all parts of the Willamette
Valley. Fall grain is turning out
much better than was expected, and
the farmers are correspondingly
happy. The Government weather re-
port says:
''The past week has been favorable
for maturing and harvesting the
grain crop. A few small showers
occurred Wednesday and Thursday
in the Willamette valley and coast
counties. They greatly helped all
growing vegetation. but caused a
slight delay in harvest work. The
stand of spring wheat and oats was
thin, and the grain headed short, but
the heads are we'll filled with plump
berries, and the yields are nearly
everywhere reported to be better than
expected. Fall wheat and barley
harvest is advancing rapidly and
threshing from the shock has begun"

SIGHTED LAST "WEDNESDAY.
Big New Five Master singleton Palmer
 sale nt That Time.

New York, Dec. SO.-The big new five masted schooner Singleton Palmer, which sailed from Boston sor Newport News December 6. and concerning whose safety much fear has been felt, was riding at anchor safe and appar- ently uninjured, last Wednesday. off the Maryland coast, This report was made to-day by the captain of the schooner John B. Goyle, which arrived here with cargo of asphalt after d regular winter passage up the coast. When he passed the Palmer half a gale was blowing, and the roar of the wind and waves precluded the possibility of communication. He passed no near the Palmer, however, that he was able to read her name on the stern board and there was no doubt sto her iden- tity. The captain said that as far as he could see the Palmer had not suf- fered from the boisterous weather which has prevailed along the coast for the past several weeks. She was riding easily at anchor and though exposed to the full force of the wind was mak- ing good weather of 1t. She had all her spars and sails. and so far as could be judged from outward appearance, was no tleaking.

BIlIOp TALBOT CASE
 CROWS IN BITTERNESS
rNrIMIDArIoN NOW cHARGED
 BY HERBERT NOBLE.

He Declares It Has Been Practicea to
 Get Huntingdon sisaers to RepudIate
 the Presenfment Against the Biahop
 Says Talbot Has an Agent mt work
 -wIn Make Statement To-day.
 Philadelphia, Dec. sO.-Herbert Noble of New York, one of the leading figures in the controversy between Bishop Tal- bot and pr. I. N. W. Irvine, who held secret conference here to-day on the case, said tonight that intimidation had been practiced in getting the Hunt ingdon signers to repudiate the pre- sentiment against the bishop.
 The friends of Bishop Talbot. he said, had an agent at work, and we know who this agent is. We have had detectives on the case and to-mor- row we will make statement and dis close all the facts to the public.
 We know this agent has done his best to break the power of the pre- sentiment and these reDudiations are the result.
 Even if the Huntingdon signers insist upon repudiating the present. ment it will not invaIidate the instru- ment which even then would nave more signers than are necessary
 Those in conference with MT. Noble were J. Frederick Jenkinson and AZ new McBride two of the Philadelphia s, ,gflers of the Dresentment, and the Rev. w. B. Bodine. who is chairman oI the board o4 inquiry that will hear the case at Reading. Pa. next month. The conference lasted until well into the evening and at its conclusion MT. out, as the matters discussed would not Interest the public.
 W. A. Wilson, another Philadelphia signer, tonight confirmed the state- merlt made by Huntingdon signers that they signed a blank sheet of paper, but added that all the presenters attached their names to the original paper. The signatures to the blank paper, he said was for the purpose of making another copy of the presentment if one was found necessary.
 Opinion Is still divided as to whether the board of inqury, owing to new StahASAi s5V1AtS AAASO C4LCOk Skt H. will have the right to take up the case. It is now believed that nothing will be- done until the board meets on January 10, when the members of that body will themselves decide the question.
 Bishop Talbot held conference tos day at Sunbury. Pa, with Colonel cs M. Clements. who is an attorney and who has been close to the bishop oil through the trouble he has had with Dr. Irvine. Colonel Clement was sec retary of the central Pennsylvania diocese until it was recently divided. He is now secretary of the Harrisburg diocese, which is the name of the juris~ diction carved out of the central Penn- sylvania diocese After the conference Bishop Talbot would not taail. All that Colonel Clement would say was: At present I have nothing to say but I may De able to give out statement a little later''

ADVANCE IN PRICE OF BEEF.
An Experts Explanation Before Ameri-
 can Science Association.


 Philadelphia, Dec. 30. The members of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science in convention here to-day listened to an interesting paper read by Frederick c. Croxten of the United States bureau of labor, in which he accounted for the advance in the price of beef during the past ten years.
 The retail price of fresh beef at the present time is about 120 per cent above the average for tn eperiod from 1890 to 1899. The estimates of the bu- reau of statistics of the department of agriculture show an increase from 1890 to 1904 of 15.6 per cent in the number of cattle in the United States, while in the same time the population i'm creased about 30 per cent. and the ex- ports of fresh beef increased 72.9 per cent.
 It is possible that commissions of packers exist which would doubtless exert steadying influence on declining prices, or a combination might be strong enough to control to some extent the prices of cattle bought for slaugh- tering, or the supply of beef shipped, which would seriously affect the price to the consumer.n

Four Of the Body Who Tossed Coin to
 pecide case.

New York, Dec. SO.-VVhsn she con tempt case of the iurylnea ,,ho found verdict of guilty against Peter Eek off by Tipping a nickel was called in the first criminal court in Jersey City to-day, only four jurors appeared to an7 swer the charge against them. Sunr monses had not been served on the other members of the jury, as the court officers and police had not been able to find them.
 After having been informed that the other jury1nen could not be found, Judge Higgins said T regret that for some reason unknown to the court, 1t appears impossible to get all the jury men in the case. Several were fre- quenters of the court, but now, when they are wanted, they cannot be found.
 '.It is beyond the comprehension of the court how men can take an oath to render a verdict according to the evidence and deliberately violate that oath, doing injustice to the state and the defendant, and making a n1ockery of the whole proceeding
 III the court had had all the mem bers of the jury here, it would have at least imposed fines and perhaps would have pronounced a sentence of tmprls- onment, but it does not seem fair to pundsf you four, who have obeyed the summons of the court, and allow the others to go. You wdll never be permit ted to serve in. this court again, You should have had sufficient intelligence to act according to your oaths."
 The four iuryrnen were then allowed to go, and nothing further will be done in the matter.
