IN FINANCIAL STRAITS.
Pendieton Woolen Mills Pressed fol
Capital and are Sued.

Capital and are sued.
The Pendleton woolen Mills, at
which the famous Pendleton blark-
cts are manufactured, are now iu
financial difficulty and action is being
taken by 81. G. Judd & Root of Hart
ford, Conn.,, creditors to the amount
OF about $4,000 to throw the com
pany into bankruptcy.
The company has been in poor con-
dition for some time, not having
capital sufficient to operate its plant
to the best advantages, and matters
were further complicated few days
ago when the Baker Boyer bank of
Walla Walla filed an attachment for
the collection of $3,759.62 due for
money loaned. The papers in the
case are now being prepared by J. H.
Raley, attorney for the creditor COM
pany. The total indebtedness of the
company is about $4,000, which is
said to be more than the present value
of the plant.
The mills are now being operated by
Charles J. Ferguson, who holds lease
for two years. It is believed by many
that with plenty of capital and proper
management the plant would pay
handsome profit.

Discharged Revolver He Was Showing
to Customer.
Ex-senator William Reeser, Of
Walla Walla, narrowly escaped being
shot by the accidental discharge of an
automatic revolver which was being
shown him yesterday by salesman
for the Davis-Kaser company. The
hammer snapped, followed by a loud
report that startled every one in the
large store. At the same time Chris
Hill, Russian laborer who was pass
ing in front, uttered a loud cry and
was about to sink down when he was
assisted by passing pedestrians to a
store snear by and an examination
made. It was.found that the bullet
had passed through his clothing and.
grazing the lower part Of his stomach,
had raised blister the size of silver
dollar. He was not seriously injured.
On further investigation it was
found that the bali had narrowly
missed ex-senator Reeser, after which
it struck stove in the store and then
plowed its way through $3.50 plate
glass before striking the man on the
sidewalk. The force of the bullet was
spent by striking the stove, which b
probably saved the latter's life.

Couldn't Shake It.

Louis Audette made supreme
effort to shake the dust of Athena
from his feet yesterday, but made a
dismal failure and right in the pres
ence of all the people on Main street,
at that. Hitting the hike for Alberta,
the train about ready to pull out Of
the station, Louis made the race of
his life-and lost. Blowing like a
blacksmith bellows he was lett on the
platform with his eyes glued OH a
negro porter who tauntingly blew a
kiss to the exasperated Frenchman.
Mr.. Audette Wednesday loaded his
stock and farming implements. His
family went to Alberta several weeks
ago, where he has purchased body
Of land and will engage in farming
on large scale.

A STEADY INCREASE
o. R. & N. BUSINESS Is THRIFTY
In ATHENA.
Freight Traffic and Passenger Busi-
ness at This Point Office
Short Of Help.

Perhaps there are no two men in
Umatilla county more overworked
than Agent Smith of the o. r. & N.
and his one assistant. It's one con-
tinual grind with them, and there ap-
pears no immediate prospect for re-
lief, for as long as it can possibly
keep from it railroad company was
never known to add penny of expense
to its payroll; not for clerical help
at way stations at least.
Such are the conditions existing in
the local office and have existed for
some time. This, too, in face of the
fact that the company's business here
has been steadily on the increase, in
both departments of freight and
passenger traffic. Agent Smith yes
terday gave Press reporter figures
that prove conclusively that Athena 8
business to the o. r. q N. is worth
more and more each succeeding year,
and ranks we'll, and in some instances
ahead Of other towns of like popula-
toin along the line.
AS an lndlcat10n OF the prominence
of Athena as commercial center and
the amount of business transacted
here, it only remains necessary to
give the figures referred to. Taking
for example, the month of August,
1904, shows an increase of business
over the corresponding month of any
previous year of $l.328.23 and less
than carload lots, an increase Of
$291.09. The month of August 1905,
over the month of August 1904, in
carload lots, shows an increase of
$1,846.84, and less than carload lots,
1,157.43. To this increase in freight
business, add the increase in passenger
business. as result of the Lewis and
Clark fair, and it will be seen that
Athena amounts to some pumpkins to
the O. r. & N. and a pretty fair slice
also to the Northern Pacific.

TO SHIP MANY TONS
NEARLY THREE AND A HALF
MILLION BUSHELS.
Oregon Grain and Flour in Great De-
mand- Number Of Ships to
Handle Product.

Evidently it's the Orient vs. Liver
pool this year in grain expectation,
and indications would seem to make
one believe that the Orient has the
long end of it.
Mitsul d Co. of Portland, has char
tered the British steamship Laban,
2,294 tons, to load grain and flour for
the Orient. It is believed that the
same firm has a number of other
freighters engaged for the same pur-
pose. San Francisco steamers repre-
senting 10000 tons carrying capa-
city have been chartered to load at
Portland for the far east. The names
of nine vessels are known, but the
ships are not able to handle more than
$4,000 tons of freight.
Sixty thousand tons of flour are
equivalent to 100000 barrels Of pro-
duct, and would represent 1000, 900
tons of wheat to San Francisco this
fall. Including the amount that the
regular coasters will handle, fully
100000 bushels of grain will be
o"noh W N"AAAoAhAu lIOm OI6BOu D6-
fore January /. SO the total ship
ments to the Orient and California
this fall will approximate $500, 900
bushels, including the amount that
the regular liners will carry to the
far east. This will represent the
hesviest shipments to those point ever
known in such limited period. A
report from Portland says:
The American ship Berlin will leave
up the river today to begin loading
wheat for San Francisco at 81 ton,
20 cents less than is charged by the
owners of the steam schooners. Il is
understood that the American bark
Star of Bengal has also been engaged
to take grain from this port to San
Francisco. She has carrying capa-
city of 1880 tons. The steamer
Eureka is en- route up the coast for
another cargo and will be kept in the
grain trade between here and Cali
tornia all fall. She handles nearly
5000 tons at trip. In addition to
these nearly all the regular coasters
are taking out part cargoes of grain
every trip.

Paid Off the Crew.

ABE" Jones says he has liquidated
his obligations to the neversweat club
for any and all labor performed in
his behalf during the present season.
He divided watermelon in equal
parts and distributed it among the
mem bers. All seem to be satisfied
with the settlement except "Chief"
Estes, who from all accounts is hard
to get along with anyway. The Chief
kept choring around in the hopes of
getting another slice of melon or a
few cucumbers, but Abe didn't see it
that way, SO the old gentleman left
for Portland in huff, and member
OF the club intimates that the Chief
has the job of catching dogs for the
Igorrotes at the exposition.

In Some Branches.

According to Senator Pierce, says
the K. O., the herd of fine cattle at
the Union experiment station will he
taken to Portland and sold at the COM

This will be done under the recent
order of the Agricultural college, and
the money derived from the sale of
the stock will be turned into the state
treasury. With the stock disposed of
the station will then he conducted

Although the appropriation given

up by the referendum petition, there
is still sufficient money on hand with
which to conduct the farm until re-
lief can be secured from the next
legisla ture.

Scared by Auto.

Hugh Bells hack team ran away in
Pendleton Tuesday. Hugh left his
team for moment in front of
business house, and when he returned
to the street the horses were gone.
: sBystanders informed him that the
team became scared by passing auto.
No damage was done either to team
or hack, which stopped in collision
with telephone pole. A dog that
got mixed up in the runaway lost his
life, but as it was Pendleton dog
the loss is insignificant.
