NEW YORK, April 17-There was
considerable unsettlement manifested
in the stock market today, which was
partly due to the carrying over of a
bad impression from Saturday on ac-
count of the rather urgent pressure to
take profits on the weeks rise. This
impression was partly dissipated by the
buoyant opening this morning, but the
high prices made then invited renewed
selling and served to discourage the
confidence of operators for higher
prices.
The market for the rest of the day
was spotty and irregular. The selling
on the opening rise was of such vol
ume and character as was not to be
ignored. 1t was generally supposed to
be due in part to the necessity of pro-
tective measures in connection with
the wheat speculation.
Various publications pointing to the
hazardous position of those committed
TO the wheat deal made opinion sensitive
on this point. In the wheat market
weather news helped to sustain prices
and to that extent relieved apprehen-
sion over the immediate situation of the
yield.
But on the other hand the possibility of
damage to the crop by the unreasonable
weather is a disadvantage to values of
stocks and had its part in cooling the
it's threat of damage to other crops as
well and was one of the appreciable
factors in today's stock market.
Another was the assembling of the
senate committee to investigate the
problem of railroad rate legislation.
This topic has fallen into the back
ground during the recent enthusiasm
in the stock speculation. The reports
of the committees intention served to
bring it into consideration again with
it's ultimate possibilities when congress
assemblies.
Railroad officials continue to talk in
very confident terms regarding traffic,
but their usual weekly interviews were
of a more restrained tone than for
some time past.
While these minor considerations
played their part, the market continued
to give the principal attention to the
question of the Northern Securities
distribution and the readjustment
growing out of it. While the mandate
of the supreme court was issued as
was expected, there was still the abso-
lutte lack of official announcement or
confirmation for any of the many
stories of deals supposed to be await.
ing this event.
The situation proved a strain to
speculative confidence, especially in
view of the highly concentrated char
acter of much of the selling of Union
Pacific and the fears aroused as to
what it might imply. This stock and
Northern Securities on the curb reacted
with some violence after the openine
and carried depression into the other
stocks which have moved in sympathy
with them.
The renewed strength in the United
States Steel stocks was of much in
fiuence and seemed to be due to sat
isfaction with the proceedings at the
annual meeting of the corporation.
The preferred rose easily to new rec
ord level.
Money here was distinctly easier, but
sterling exchange was steady.
The closing tone of the market was
heavy and uncertain as it had been for
most of the day.

To the Public:

To the Public:
1t has been falsely reported by
interested parties that, when I have
been unable to make a sale, I have
been in the habit of running home
seekers out of the country. I de-
sire to say that all such reports are
unquali6edly false and without
foundation. I have lived in Ben
ton county through a period of
more than 80 years, and have done
an humble part in aiding to upbuild
it. I am not the man to seek to
tear down the community that I
have made my home through so
many years. The statement that 1
ran Mr.. Brandt out of the country
is its own denial as few weeks
will prove. I sold him a. farm with
in few miles of Corvallis, and as
soon as he can close up his inter-
ests in Iowa he.will be out with his
family to occupy it.

BIG ALFALFA YIELD
Six and a Half Tons Of Hay per Acre
"A College Farm Crop.

Alfalfa on the College farm made
a yield of green feed this season
that measured in cured weight
would have made six and one-half
tons of hay per acre. 1t is yield
strikingly at variance with the
grain crop, because it is fifty per
cent larger than any former crop,
all in spite Of bugs and the drouth
conditions Of the late season. 1t
inspires wonder that more farmers
do not grow alfalfa, since this col
lege alfalfa crop was produced on
land no better than the ordinary
wheat land. without a nicke1s
worth of artificial fertilizer, and un-
der circumstances applicable on
nearly any wheat farm in the Will
lamette Valley.
The two acres yielded four cut
tings of alfalfa, that all told aggre-
gated 82,775 pounds of green feed.
The highest yield in any former
year since the field was seeded to
alfalfa was 55,744 pounds of green
feed. equivalent to nine and one
fourth tons of hay for the two
acres. The average yield per acre
during the four years that the field
has been cropped is four and half
tons of hay per acre. The yield in
green feed during the four years
has been as follows: 1902, 27,142
pounds; 1908, 55,744; 1904, 5000;
1905, Salts. The field was cut
during the season of 1905 on the
following dates, April 10Th, when
the yield was 10000 pounds; May
31st, 22.o3o; July 14th, 1o.525;
August 25th, 10. .14o.

recently, and there were large
number of students who, like my
sell, were trying to get practical ex-
perience in surgery and other
branches Of the medical profession.
Among the younger fellows was a
student apparently without any
nerves. He could stand up before
the most trying operation from the
very first without the culver of a
muscle. We all decided that he was
destined for greatness by the short
road. In the meantime one of the
leaders among the students (there

Accordingly, just before the ap-
pointed time one of the bravest Of
our set started for the operating
room. All was dark and otill as he
crept under the operating table

should be explained that wire had
been connected with the right arm
Of the dead body and led down un-

leader pulled the wire again. Again
the arm shot up as before, and again
our student friend put it down in

lunconcern, while he resumed his
work as before. Now, we who were
watching behind the door began to
get impatient, and SO did our leader
