Arthur Rem. who was a member
of the crew and on board the ill-fated
Bennington when she blew up yes
terday, was not injured particle.
About . O'Clock last evening a mes
sage was received from the young
man himself, saying that he had been
aboard but was unhurt, though many
had ben killed and injured. A little
later messages were received from
Captain Young of the gunboat and
from the chief of police of San Diego,
saying that the boy was uninjured.
Both of these parties had been wired
to by the anxious relatives here as
soon as the news reached them of the
disaster.
This morning another message was
received from the boy saying that 20
had been killed, 81 injured and tina;
he had not received a scratch, AL
though he had been aboard.
The last letter received by the Rem
family from Arthur was mailed al
Honolulu. and the vessel had evil
IDENTIFY just reached San Diego from
that place. In one of the late letters
the young man had said that the Ben
nington was to be abandoned on ac'
count of it's age and unseaworthiness
Consequently, it is thought that the
gunboat was doubtless in poor
shape.

Where in Umatilla county is there
tract of from 10000 to 10000 acres
of irrigated land that may be secur-
ed for colonization purposes? A let
ter has just been received by T. G.
HALEY, who is the secretary of the
state irrigation commission, asking IL
such body of land is procurable in
Oregon, and IL so which is the most
desirable part of the state for the
colony to locate. The letter to Mr..
HALEY is from one of the officials of
the Colorado Bureau of Information,
and it is believed that the colony is
not to be composed of any particular
sect or nationality.
In reply to the letter Mr.. HALEY
has written to the official and has
referred him to several propositions
in this county which he believed could
be successfully developed. 1t was
stated in the letter that the land
might be some that was reclaimed
under the Carey act. However. Mr..
HALEY is of the opinion that better
| opportunities are offered here than by
any of the Carey act companies that
now have lands on the market.

Ernest Evans Skins Ont.

Ernest Evans the sheep man, on
small scale, after borrowing all he
could on the 1900 head of sheep he
owned and mortgaging a field of grain
in which he is said to have only own
ed half interest, has departed for
parts unknown, says the Pilot Rock
Record. Mr.. Evans has had domestic
troubles and was given to gambling
which combined, proved his downfall
He was generally considered an
honest man and a good manager, but
was unable to curb his passion for the
gaming table. 1t is said he has left
behind several unpaid grocery bills
Herbert Boylen has taken charge of
the sheep for the mortgages.

an investigation that resulted in a
disagreement, Mr.. Headrick declar-
ing the off color" birds to be young
grouse, Mr.. Miller that they were hy-
brids-half China and half grouse,
while Gene maintains that they are
all China and nothing else. These
fanciers disagreed SO strongly that
the cigars are now hanging in the
balance. The little fellows will soon
be feathered sufficient to settle the
question and somebody will smoke.

LITTLE WHEAT SOLD YET.
Growers Are Holding for Possible Ad-
vance.

Although harvest is now on and
some grain is being hauled to ware
houses already, almost no wheat is
being sold. 1t is said that practically
all that has been purchased so far
has been taken by the Byers mill, for
which it is said So cents was paid.
The majority of the growers are
holding back in the hope of a higher
price in the future, and remember the
advance that occurred last year after
many of them had disposed of their
holdings. They believe that they
should receive in the neighborhood of
from 20 to rs cents per bushel, and
this the buyers say is impossible. Ac-
cording to their statement wheat
should now be 61 cents here, gauged
by the price now prevalent In Port
land.
AS result of the deadlock 1t is
not thought much selling will be done
for a few weeks yet

A Good Crop of Barley.

Charles Carpenter has finished cut
ting 65-acre field of Chevalier bar
ley says the Adams Advance. From
this ground it yielded 1000 sacks Of
barley which averages 100 pounds
per sack in weight This makes 5000
bushels or an average of about II
bushels to the acre. Mr. Carpenter
is now harvesting wheat which is
making a good yield of first class
grain, but there is not sufficient cut
to get at the average yield.

WILL NOT DAMAGE WHEAT.
Grain Is Practically Immune Against
the Heat.

In spite of the extreme hot weather
during the past few days, wheat buy
ers nearly all say that little If any
damage will result to the wheat as IA
result. The reason for this is that all
of the wheat of the reservation coun-
try is fall-sown and is now being har-
vested, while the spring wheat of the
country north and west of Pendleton
is also said to be so far advanced that
no damage will result except in rare
cases wheer the seeding was done un-
usually late.

RAILROADS WIN.
Missouri's Freight Rate Fight Against Railroads.

Kansas City, Mo, July 12.-Judge John J. Phillips. in the United States District Court here today, granted the temporary injunction prayed for by Missouri railroads. restraining the State Railway and Warehouse Commissioners of Missouri, and the Attorney General of the State from enforcing the maxi- mum freight rate law enacted by the last Legislature When the law went into effect on June 18th, eighteen rail- ways in this State petitioned Judge Philips to restrain the State officials from enforcing the act, the railroads making the claim that the rates pro- vided in the new law were prohibitive and would amount to the confiscation of their property. The suit was directed against three Kansas City shippers, in- tended to cover shippers a class and to forestall any suits they might bring against the railroads The court issued an order al that time preventing the enforcement of the law until the mat ter of a temporary injuhction could be argued This order which was argued last week, was continued In force today by Judge Philips, who, after delivering an oral opinion. granted the railroads

Jnp Loan Oversubscribed.


 New York, July 12-The subscription lists for the Imperial Japanese gov ernment 1-2 per cent sterling loan. second series, were closed by Kuhn. Loeb and Company. the National City Bank and the National Bank of Com merce and agents throughout the country at the close of business to- day. The bankers had announced that the lists. which were opened yester- day would be closed on or before July IT. The applications were so heavy. however, from all over the country, that 1t was soon seen that the $50,- 900, 900 of bonds allotted to the United States had been heavily over-sub- scribed and 1t was decided to limit the taking of subscriptions to sin gle day.
 Following the precedent of the for mer Japanese loans, every effort will be made to discriminate between spec ulative and investment applications and subscribers for small amounts will probably receive the full allotment. In the case of the large subscribers. 1t Is probable that the allotments will not exceed 20 to 25 per cent of the amount of the applications. It may be a week or ten days before the allot- ments are completed. The new bonds were traded in on the curb at sS and S7 3-4.
