FLOUR TO JAPAN.
Dumbarton Carries $4,000 Barrels to
the Orient.

With a cargo of 5e,O5O barrels of
flour, valued at $201,7S0, the British
steamship Dumbarton, Captain Ret
tie, cleared for japanese ports yes
terday evening. and will sail tomor-
row morning. She will carry 1890
barrels to Yokohama, $4,000 to Kobe.
and 1880 to Moji. The vessel has
shifted from the Portland FIGURING
mills to an anchorage near st. Johns,
says the oregon Daily Journal.
The next flour shipment to be dis
patched from this port to Japan will
be taken out on the British steamship
Frendene, due to arrive from the far
east shortly after May /. It was
learned this morning that the export
ers who have her chartered are ex-
periencing difficulty in securing or
ders to fill her space, lacking fully
1000 tons. Japanese importers have
made no purchases of foodstuffs on
this side of the Pacific since the Bal
tic squadron's arrival in oriental
waters, and it is not believed they will
do so until decisive naval battle has
been fought.
Some small orders for flour are re-
ceived from Hong Kong importers.
but all of this business is taken care
of by the Portland & Asiatic Steam
ship company. The officials of that
line stated this morning that they
had $4,000 barrels engaged to go out
on the Nicomedia, due to arrive on
May ~. Consequently only about 500
more tons are required to fill her. A
big portion of her cargo will be con-
signed to Hong Kong, and 1t is be-
lieved that contract for the balance
of her space will be closed before her
| arrival.
]. H. Dewson, local manager of the
line, received a wire from San Fran
cisco this morning stating that the
Numantia reached Hong Kong, and
the Arabia yokohama, both outward
bound from Portland on April 23
The former sailed from the mouth
of the Columbia river on March II,
and the latter on March 81, and they
made unusually long passages.

Testimonial to Mime. Modjeska.

New York, May 2.-The Metropoli-
tan opera house, spacious though it
is, was scarcely able to accommodate
the crowd of players and playgoers
that gathered there this afternoon for
the big testimonial given for Nine.
Modjeska, who recently announced
her permanent retirement from the
stage. Among the prominent musical
and dramatic stars who took part in
the performance were NJ. Ignace Pad
erewski, who gave piano recital;
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Mr.. Otis Skin
ner Mr.. James O'Neill and Miss Ada
Rehan. The aged Polish actress her.
self appeared in scenes from Mary
Stuart" and Macbeth" and was
given a most enthusiastic reception.

MINNESOTA AND THE TRUSTS.
Standard OIL and the Railroads Are
Under Fire.

St Paul, Minn., May 2.-The state
today began the hearing of the argu-
ments in the case of the independent
oil dealers of the state versus the rail-
ways doing business in the state. The
Independent oil dealers allege that
the rate on oil products in less than
carload lots is excessive.
Although the name of the Standard
Oil company is not mentioned in the
formal complaint, the fight is practi-
cally against that company. Under
the present classification of oil prod
ucts as freight, the Standard Oil is
the only company doing business in
the state that is in a position to take
advantage of the carload rate. which
is so per cent less than the rate on
less than carload lots to local points
within the state.
The independents on their small
shipments are compelled to pay third
class rates, whereas the Standard can
take advantage of the first-class
rates. The Independents ask the
commission to reduce the rate on
shipments in less than carload lots
from third to fourth-class. 1t is urged
that if this is done thousands of dol
lars will be saved the consumers OF
the state, as the price of oil will be
materially reduced. 1t is claimed
that the Standard does not base the
selling price of it's products upon the
cost of production plus the cost Of
transportation, but upon the inability
of the local dealers to take advantage
Of the lower freight rates.

Detroit, Mich, May 2.-The Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers, one of, the strong
est and most influential labor organi-
cations of America, began it's thirtieth
annual convention in Detroit today
with delegates present from nearly all
the state of the Union.
Momentous questions concerning
the internal affairs of the association
have arisen during the last year and
their settlement promises to make
this the most important convention in
its history.
In addition to taking up matters
relating to the wage scale and condi-
tions of labor, the convention will
choose a successor to President
Theodore Shaffer, who has been at
the head Of the organization for nine
years. President Shaffer has de-
clined to allow the presentation of
his name for reelection, and this has
led to lively campaign for the pres
idency. There are a few avowed or
active candidates, but the friends of
numerous state and district leaders of
the organization are pushing their
claims. Among those whose names
are mentioned most prominently in
connection with the honor are NJ. F.
Tighe, the present assistant secretary
of the association; William NJ. Glib
son, of Allegheny, Pa. Walter Lar
kins, of Martins Ferry, o.; P. ]. Nc
Ardie, of Muncie, Ind; Richard Fitz-
gerald, of Greenville, Pa, and w. ],
Young, of New Castle, Pa.
Probably the most important of the
proposals submitted to the convention
for discussion and action is that pro-
viding for the abolishment of the an.
nual national convention of the asso.
citation and the substitution of the ini.
tlative and referendum system fol
conducting the affairs of the organi'
zation. This proposal has many sup.
porters and talks with prominent del
egates today indicate that it may bt
adopted.

Baseball at Echo.

A baseball game will be played at

game was played between these teams
last Sunday at Heppner, the score be-
ing 13 to 7 in favor of Heppner.
Both teams are practicing hard for
the game and a large crowd will
come over on the excursion from
Heppner.

months to come, but it is stated that
at the next legislature an effort will
be made by the Utah breeders to have
the law repealed. Utah does not
charge wyoming a tax, for sheep
coming in from that state, and the
breeders of this state think they
should have similar courtesy.

Wool to Come in Yet.

The following sheepmen in the But
ter creek and Echo country have not
yet delivered their wool at the ware
houses: Howard Brothers, 10000
pounds; Joe Ray, 100000 pounds; A.
H. Sunderman. 100000 pounds; Geo.
Rourke, 100000 pounds, and Mike
Urban, 10000 pounds. Most Of this
wool will be held until the sales days,
most of it to be shipped to this city.

The shearing of sheep through
Utah was resumed Monday, and from
this time to the first OF May it is ex-
pected there will be no further cessa-
ton in the clip, says the Salt Lake
Herald. The shearers were busy in
the corrals at Black Rock, Fairfield
and Milford. and it is expected that
the clip this week will be a record
breaker
Considerable enthusiasm has been
aroused among wool men because of
the price paid for 10000 pounds at
Milford last Friday. 1t brought 20
cents per pound, the highest price
ever paid for Southern Utah wool.
There were dozen competitors at
the sale, and the owners, Packard &
Lisondee, were much pleased at the
result, inasmuch as 1t was a tacit ac-
knowledgement of a theory they
have worked on for some time. The
successful purchasers were Eisemann
Brothers of Boston, Mass, of whom
Ludwig Eisemann is at present in
looking out for the interests of his
house.
The Milford firm attribute their
success to the inbreeding of domestic
sheep with high grade imported stock,
and rival breeders in that section of
the state, 1t is reported, have already
ordered highly registered stock from
England,
At Price during the past week, a
number of large clips were sold at
IA S-4 and Is cents per pound. The
same quality was sold last year for IL
cents. 1t is anticipated that the clip
this week. such of It as has not al
ready been taken under contract, will
command an even higher figure.
Antagonism From Wyoming.
Considerable feeling has been
aroused among the sheep breeders in
the northern part of the state over
the new law enacted by the Legislature
of Wyoming. This law provides that
a tax of cents per head shall be as
sessed on all sheep brought into that
state for grazing purposes. 1t has
been customary during years past fol
Utah sheepmen to send their flock!
to Craze on the ranges in Wyoming
during the summer months, and th'
Wyoming breeders have been taking
the reciprocal end of the matter b!
turning their flocks loose on Utal
grazing ground in the fall months.
OF course, nothing can be done to
wards repeating the law for man

UNIQUE CHARACTER DEAD.
Jerry McCraith of Walla WaIla. Dies
a County Charge.

Jerry McCraith, an unique figure
in the early day history of Walla

early this morning, says the Walla

DIVIDED BASEBALL OPINIONS.
No Alacrity to Accept a Subscription
Proposition.

To ascertain the sentiment among
the business men in regard to the
formation of iPendletonWall
Walla baseball team TO enter the
Northwestern league, some half dozen
of them were seen today. AS a result
it was found that, while no one wishes
to throw cold water on the scheme,
there is no violent enthusiasm to be
observed among the men who would
be called upon to subscribe to the
fund. The remembrance of the $11OO
men two years ago. while others who
had subscribed declined to produce
has not yet been effaced from the
memory of those men.
However. in spite of all unpleasant
recollections, there is still an under
current of interest in the subject,
and there is scarcely man who
resented by a good swift team that
would bring credit and respect to the
city. Provided that this same can
be brought about without too much
expense upon a few individuals, and
all would hail the thing with delight
if it was thought to be self-sustain-
ing.
w. E. Brock, Lee Teutsch and M.
a. RAIDER were all of the opinion that
If a team is formed it should be upon
such a basis that would insure its
financial success. These men be-
lieve that If a subscription is to be
made those who go upon the list
should deposit the amounts given at
that time. Then. should surplus
remain at the end of the season. II
could be returned pro rata to the
subscribers. There are others who
do not favor baseball team unless
1t can be made to pay its own expen'
ses out of the gate receipts. How
ever, they are not in the majority

MERCHANTS MEET TONIGHT.
VIII Organize for Betterment OF
Business Conditions.

Tonight a meeting of merchants of
the city will be held for the purpose
of organizing a merchants alliance,
the meeting to be held in the Despair
building after the retail clerks have
adjourned. All merchants of Pen
dleton are invited to attend.
The object of the association, ac-
cOrding to c. f. Roosevelt, will be to
work for the betterment of the busi-
ness conditions of the city and vari-
Gus matters pertaining to the mer-
camille business will be taken up and
discussed. One of the objects will
be to bring the business men together
so that they may work in unity when
such is desirable. However, it is
said that the work of the alliance
will in no way conflict with that of
the Commercial association.

Needhnm Meetings Growing.

Since the partition between the lee
ture room and the auditorium of the
Presbyterian church has been remov-
ed both rooms have been filled to
overflowing at the Needham meet
ngs now in progress. Last night
standing room was all taken, and u
large number of visiting ministers
occupied seats on the platform.
Among the ministers attending the
meeting were Revs. Corneilson, Div
en-, Johnson and Harper. The after
noon meetings continue to attract
large crowds. The meetings will
continue indefinitely. All are cor
daily invited to attend the services.
The musical features are interesting.
Rev. Needham is convincing and
forcible speaker and has attracted
larger crowds of men than have ever
attended meetings in this city be-
fore.

SOME REsEEDING OF WHEAT.
'.seare" Found to Be Justifiable In
limited Localities.

Already farmers in the section Of
the county lying northwest of PEN
dleton have commenced reseeding on
the land where wheat was frozen by
the recent cold weather. Among
those who commenced reseeding this
morning are L. E. Penland and M. M.
Wyrick.
Reports as to the extent of the
damage done to fall wheat are very
contradictory. However, it is the be-
lief of those who are well informed,
that the injury will not be as great as
was expected a week ago. The warm
weather of the past few days has had
the effect of starting the grain to
growing, and much that was thought
to be lost has been shown to be un-
injured. In some portions, however,
it is not possible to tell how much re-
seeding will be needed.
While there is supposed to be
enough seed wheat in the warehouses
of the county to do for reseeding
those who will have to buy their
seed will be compelled to pay an ad-
vanced price for it. Bluestem is now
