Wheat Prices
Soar Upward

Chicago, Sept. 12.-At the start the
wheat market was very strong today.
The feature of paramount Importance
was the government crop report, issued
late yesterday afternoon, confirming in
a great degree the alarming stories of
damag by rust inflicted on spring
wheat. According to the official fig
ures, the total yield of both winter and
spring weat is 523, 900, 900 bushels, an
amount claimed to be barely sufficient
to supply consumption. AS result of
the exceedingly poor showing of the
American crop, all European grain
markets were higher. This fact helped
to increase the demand here for wheat
when trading began. In addition, re-
ports form the northwest indicated that
fresh damage by frosts had been inflict-
ed upon the spring wehat crop.
With such startling news at hand
shorts at the opening made franic
effort tocover sales. The demand was
so urgent that initial quotations on all
deliveries were up about two cents
compared with Saturdays closing quo
tations, December showing a gain of
&c to 2sc to &c, at $1.0915 to $1.10%.

ATHENA, JUNE IA, 1904

There is considerable agitation rela-
tive to defect in the Australian ballot
law operative in this state. One of our
exchanges says when laws that have
been enacted for the benefit and pro-
lection of the people are found to be de-
fective they should be amended so as to
meet the ends for which they are intend
ed, and certainly the registration law
has been found so utterly defective that
it is dead letter. II should, therefore,
be the desire Of every voter who wants
pure elections to have the law amended
so that none but qualified voters shall
be allowed the right Of suffrage This
can only be done by repeating that
clause providing for voting on affidavit
of freeholders. Such an amendment
would probably not meet with favor in
the next Legislature, since there is al
ready some talk Of repeating the regis
tration law; but thanks to the initiative
amendment to the constitution, the peo-
pie of Oregon have right to legislate
for themselves, and it is possible to en-
act new laws or amend old ones without
the consent OF the legislature. An elec-
tion is to be held in Oregon next No
vember, and il those who favor pure
ballot will interest themselves in the
matter, the registration law. can be
amended at that elec tion so as to dis
qualify all voters whose names do not
appear on the registration books. 1t
would no doubt be argued that such a
provision would work hardship on
those who were absent from their Gus
tomary places of abode during the five
months prior to an election. Certainly
it would, but it is better that few quail
fed voters be disconnected than that a
horde of non-residents, people who have
no interest whatever in the affairs of a
community, be allowed to exercise the
right Of suffrage and thwart the will OF
those who are actual residents of COM
munity and have interests at stake.

AN EARLY BATTLEFIELD.
Monument Lately Erected ON Field
of Conflict of Century
and a Half Ago. -,

At grand public meeting Of many
thousand excursionists, including repre-
sentatives of the patriotic societies of
New York and New England, the Society
of Colonial Wars unveiled, September 8,
a fine monument upon the field of the
battle of Lake George, September 8, 1875.
The governors of New York, Vermont,
Massachusetts and Connecticut were
present at the unveiling, and there were
detachments from the regular army and
the troops of the several states. Senator
Chauncey Depew delivered the oration
The bronze figures of the monument
were designed by Albert W. Einert, the
sculptor, and represent the Indian chief
tain, King Hendrick, demonstrating to
Gen. Johnson the futility of dividing his
forces. The figures, which stand on a
granite pedestal, are nine feet high. The
monument stands in the center of Battle
park, overlooking the lake. On the east
face is the following inscription:
"1903-The Society of the Colonial Wars
erected this monument to commemorate
the victory of the Colonial forces under
Gen. Johnson and the Mohawk allies un-
der Chief Hendrick over the French regu-
lars, commanded by Baron Dieskau, with
the Canadian and Indian allies"
On the south face 1t reads: Defeat
would have opened the road to Albany to
the French" On the north Confidence,
inspired by the victory, was of inestim-
able value to the American army in the
War of the Revolution" and on the west
face are the words Battle of Lake
