LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN
All But the Post Holes of q City Car
Line Disappears.


RIVERSIDE, Ca. Sept. S.-Four
miles of city electric transmission is
lost, strayed or stolen. Poles, wires
crossarms and insulators have dis
appeared. The post holes are fast in
the ground, but the rest is missing
from the right of way.
City Electrician F. A. Warthier has
reported the loss to the city trustees.
The line ran from Hermosa ranch to
Phalanx Corners. 1t was part of the
power transmission line between
Redlands and Riverside. Possibly the
Edison Electric may have appropriate
ed the city property for a cutoff
recently run to Riverside from Pha-
lanx Corners. If so, no report or COM
pensation was made to the city. The
missing property consists of four miles
of new cedar poles, about II miles of
heavy copper wire, crossarms and in
sulatOrs.

Fish Wier Invention.

Phil Harris is constructing the fish
wav at the Canyon dam. Several
thousand feet of lumber will be re-
uuired for the work. There was
convention of the tribe Of Fish at the
dam when Phil went to work, for the
purpose of suggestions as to the style
of architecture. Mr.. Lazy Whitefish
wanted an elevator put in. Mr.. Squaw-
FISH demanded a political floor, cut low
so he could slide over belly buster,
while Mr.. Speckled Trout insisted on a
stairway with a pitch Of As degrees or
he and his family would leave the dam
site. The meeting broke up in row
and Phil will build the contraption to
suit Mr.. Forshay.-Emmett Index.

ASPHALT HID 4O-FOOT CAVE.

and good deal more dangerous to hu-
man life.
The Drake school children are very
much grieved over the abrupt termina-
ton Of a long cherished mystery"
Investigating the mystery" the
city officials foud that a broken sewer,
combined with leaky water main, had
washed out a subterranean room forty
feet square, having the pavement as
lis arcned roof. That this thin layer
IF Uushed stone and asphaltum did
not give way and precipih ate a car
,iage or wagon into the abyss was
subject of wonder to the men who I'M
Jertook the work of repair
The "bottomless pit" was CHANGED
uron by the Drake pupils before the
terra ended last June and they prompt
w Gained it as their own. A small
hole rear the west sidewalk, the first
sign OF the mystery, was promptly
filed with sticks, stones and rubbish.
Only as rare privilege were the
girls permitted to throw things down

This grudging admission of the
gentle sex to a knowledge of the secret
caused the end of the romance. The
girls reported it to their mothers, their
mothers to their fathers and their
fathers to the commissioner of public

TWO PROMINENT LOCAL FIRMS
TAKE OVER STOCK OF PEN
DlETON MILLS.
Transaction Of Considerable Import.
anee-cIose to $25, 10000 Involved
In the Deal.

1t has just leaked out that two
prominent local firms have comple1ed
an extensive purchase Of blankets from
the Pendleton Wooden Mills. The
amount involved in the purchase runs
close to $25.OOO.OO.
The firms interested are the Chicago
store and the Davis-Kaser Company.
Both firms are equally interested in
he transaction.
Connected with this important pur-
chase is a story that demonstrates
that Walla Walla can boast Of few
business men who know a good thing
when they see it; who know how to
act promptly When an opportunity pre-
sents itself.
1t seems that the Pendleton Wooden
Mills have been in trouble recently;
couldn't NEE; their obligations at the
banks The result of this was that the
banks got busy and closed out under
mortgage a great stock of the very
choicest products of the mills.
The big retail houses in all the coast
cities were notified of the sale. The
latter formed pool among themselves
and agreed to take all the stock at
the mills if they could get it for a GER
ain price Believing that they mad
no competitors they felt safe that they
would get the blankets at their own
figure. But in this they were badly
mistaken. On the day of the sale Gen
eral Manager JaycoX of the Chicago
Store was in Pendleton and in combi-
nation with the Davis-Kaser company
he bested the pools price and secured
the entire sock much to the chagrin
of the latter.
At the price paid for the blankets
the local parties interested pulled off
great stroke of business.
The immense stock purchased, which
includes Indian robes, shaWls, robes,
blankets and covers OF every descrip
ton, mas been brought to this city and
are now stored in the Chicago Store
and at the Davis-Kaser company's.
The reporter had a peep at it ana it
is safe to say that taken all together,
it would make a display of blankets
the like of which was never before seen
in this city. The management of these
stores intend to reail and wholesale
the blankets just as soon as possible.
Already they have sent two travelling
men east with samples. 1t is also like
ly that a retail sale will be gotten up
for the benefit of local people and the
patrons of these two stores, residing in
Walla Walla county.

WHEAT MARKET STILL REMAINS
VERY INACTIVE ON THE
PACIFIC COAST.
Mills Past the Stage Of Pressing Needs
and Foreign Demand for Grain
Is Small.

The wheat market is gradually get
ting into position of normal activity.
There have been increased sales dur
ing the week. larger arrivals at tide
water, and there are reports of sever
al cargoes sold in Europe at the basis
Of present quotations. to cover which
exporters have already made provi-
sions, says the West Coast Trade
Holders are inclined to relax some
what in their IDEAS and are coming to
accept the situation as one in which
export values are to be the dominate
ing influence. and a steadily increas-
ing number are offering stocks upon
the basis Of present offerings. That
the price is not satisfactory particu-
larly in view of the quotations prevail
ing last year, when eastern buyers
were bidding up to obtain relief from
comparative famine conditions, goes
without saying but there is very little
encouragement to the belief that they
will be better in the immediate future.
In fact, the steady trend of quotations
since the opening of the season has
been toward lower level in the lead
ing markets, and the occasional rallies
are not of sufficient moment to relieve
the weak unded{one to the situation.
For the present the principal export
call is for Europe. Japan has made
some purchases and will probably want
some additional wheat. California must
buy more grain in order to make up
for the shor1tge of the crop in that
state but the San Francisco market
has not been offering much encourage
ment of late. The mills are also past
the stage of pressing needs, and the
enormity of the export surplus in
Washing on, Oregon and Idaho makes
it apparent that Liverpool prices will
ure, after several seasons during which
the local market was comparatively
independent of this source.
Local receipts during the week ag-
gregated LAG cars, exclusive of some
thirty cars handled for Portland an
San Francisco account as against 319
cars handled this week last year. For
August 223 cars of wheat or 214,0S0
bushels were inspected at this point.
For the crop year which ended with
August the wheat receipts at Tacoma
were the lowest for many years aggre-
eating but 4,411,360 bushels, against
5,S16,410 bushels in 1904 and 10, 714,921
bushels for 1908.
Further crop reports nave been
largely of a favorable character, the
latest commercial estimate of the
Washington crop being 32,SO0, 900 bush
els, while Washington, Oregon and
Idaho are credited with a probable har-
vest of 5O,OOO0O0 bushels an increase
of 600, 900, 900 bushels over last year.
and of 16, oOO, 900 bushels over 1903
Exports are off 1c again this week.

Give Valuable Evidence.

One or two have turned states evil
dence and have furnished sucn valu-
able information to the government
that it will, it is said, be a compare
lively simple matter to apprehend
scores of men who are mixed up in the
frauds and thus break up the prac-
tice.
According 80 the information sent
the United States attorneys office from
San Francisco, the captains and mates
of the several vessels that will be raid
ed are more guilty than the men under
them, and the bulk of tine secret SER
vice mems activity will be towards
bringing the men higher up" to JUS
tice. 1t is stated that one or two of
the masters Of ships now under sus-
piciOn and against whom warrants are
out, are among the best known seamen
on the coast.

SHIP CAPTAINS CHARGED WITH
FRAUDULENTLY SECURING
PAPERS.
United States Secret Officers Hold
Warrants for Some Of Best Mari.
ners On the Coast.

Wholesale arrests of masters, mates
and seamen, accused Of having OBJ
tanned naturalization papers fraudu-
lently, are about to be made by Capt.
B. w. Bell, in charge of the Seattle
United States secret service Office.
Acting on orders received from
Washington and warrants from Cali
fornia, Capt. Bell and his assistants
are planning to make raid on half-a-
dozen coast steamships as soon as they
reach that port, is a report that comes
from Seattle. At least two-score ar
rests of men, from captains down to
ordinary seamen, will resule. The
secret service men have a list of the
vessels on which the suspects are and
the names and descriptions of their
men. The moment the vessels reach
mere the officers will be on hand to get
the men.
1t is stated at the office of United
States Attorney Jesse Frye that the
arrests mere will be numerically
greater for the same offense than in
any oher portion Of the country, al
though in California there have been
large number of cases made out
against seamen.
Many Sensations Promised.
The serving of the warrants here
will start a period of activity in this
state on the part of the secre1 SER
vice men to apprehend men who have
secured papers Illegally. The work
promises to result in many sensational
arrests. The government has awak-
ened to the fact that the illegal work
has been going on for long time and
has assumed enormous proportions on
the Pacific coast. All the govern
ment machinery will, therefore. be
brought to bear to weed out the fraud
ulent certificates and arrest their
holders.
1t has been The practice of the sea-
men to secure their papers so that
they would become eligible for service
as mates and officers on American
ships. In California several seamen
have voluntarily surrendered their
bogus papers and the certificates as
ships officers that they secured upon
them.
