The year 1905 is ushered il
with bright prospects, especially
in the Inland Empire. Never II
the history of the country mas The
outlook been more encouraging,
The prosperous year just closed
has had great deal to do with
the good feeling that now prevails,
especially in the line of agrlcul-
ture. The wheat crop which was
very large and which was turned
off at good prices hhs added en-
encouragement to the farming IN
dustry and farmers have exarted
more than usual energy t. put IL
another big acreage ia a we'll
founded belief that next Fall an
other good price will be realized.
Nature is lending q helping hand,
for climatic conditions are about
all that could be desired With
plenty Of moisture and sunshine,
winter wheat is growing right
along and is becoming we'll rooted
thus giving the tender young
shoots sufficient strength to stand
little brush of severe weather
that might yet occur.
The prospects for high wool
prices have not been better with
in the past twenty years. While
it is very early for buyers to COM
mence operations, still the repre-
sentatives Of the large Eastern
houses are now in the field and
are eager to make contracts for
the coming clip at prices that are
high. Already large amount of
wool has been contracted for in
the Wallowa country. There is
much activity in the market for
the reason that the supply is short.
There is no question as to this.
This condition forces competition
among the manufacturers who
must bid up to get what they
want.
All wool buyers freely admit
that there will be q material in
crease over last years prices.
The wool growers have good
foundation for the belief that the
lighter grades of woods will reach
the 20 cent mark before the sea-
son closes. The high price for
wool has also stimulated the sheep
market and sheep will also show a
decided advance.
Within the past two weeks there
has been a strong and favorable
change in the cattle market, and
the long period of stagnation in
this important industry assumes a
much brighter hue. This is es.
pecially applicable to Morrow
county and the Butter Creek feed
ing district. The appearance of
Seattle buyers in the field, thus
causing sharp competition which
for several years has been unknown
has helped materially in raising
the price. Portland buyers for
several years have practically con-
trolled the output of the Butter
Creek feeders, but owing to the
scarcity in the buying field of the
Seattle butchers and shippers,
they have invaded the Butter
Creek territory making a much
better market.

With good prospects for wheat,
wool, sheep, aud cattle which is
practically all that we have to sell,
the people of Eastern Oregon
ought to enjoy great prosperity.

THE TEST FARM.
Special Committee Here to Inspect
Lands i'm This Vicinity.

The committee appointed by the State
Board Of Agriculture to visit the differ
ent desirable points in the state suita-
BILE for a test farm and to report on
the same, arrived in Wilmington last
night from Fayetteville, where they
viewed some lands yesterday. Those
composing the committee are: Profess
sor H. II. Hume, state horticulturist;
Professor 3. w. Kilgore, state chemist;
Mr.. MoCollum, of Red Springs, and
Mr.. William Dunn, Of New Bern. Hon.
S. l.. Patterson, commissioner of agr!-
culture, is a member of the committee
but he was unwell and could not &C
company them.
Professor Hume visited the localities
suitable for a test farm early in the
year but he was to give no recon-
mendation until the committee report
ed. The committee will inspect lands
ON the Castle Haynes road and also out
the market street road. They will be
accompanied on their inspecting tour
by several citizens Who are interested in
the welfare of Wilmington and this
entire section. After inspecting the
proposed sites here the committee will
go tt points near New Bern On the At
lantic and North Carolina railroad.
The test farm, it will be remembered,
is to be located by the state somewhere
in eastern Carolina and will be for the
testing of all manner of crops and es-
pecially truck crops. The state wishes
to secure a farm of about 200 acres
Of the points under consideration, Will
mington is far better for the trucking
interest and the business. men of this
city are going to do all in >their power
to get the farm located in New Han
over.

Washington, March S.-Bishops a.
Grant, Alexander Walters and B. W.
Arnott, OF the African Methodist Epis-
eopal church, headed a delegation of
members of the sociological congress,

tives of a large constituency of negroes
in different churches and other, organ
izations to thank him for the splendid
position, he has taken of equal justice
tic all men, regardless of color, creed,
section or race. Continuing Bishop
Grant said:
I'VE have come to request you to rec
ommend to Congress the appointment
of a commission to investigate and con-
slider every phase of the race question
in the United States. with the view Of
suggesting some plan for the better
nient of the condition Of the colored
people and to bring about a more har-
monious relation betrFeen the races i'll
this country"

to the President the subject of the re-
ducing of the representation in Con-

Cleveland, O., March 8-The case
of the government against Mrs. Chad
wick was completed this afternoon.
One witness for the defense, an ex-
pert accountant, was worn but ar ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow,
before he had given any testimony.
The entire afternoon session of the
court was AIKEN up by the introduce
ton, as evidence. of checks, deposit
slips, books of the bank and two let
ters written by Mrs. Chadwick to
BeckWith and Spear.
The most important point made by
tie state in it's entire case was gain
ed this morning When District Attor-
ney sullivan, after a hard fight with
the attorneys for the defense. secured
the admission as evidence of two
drafts, ~aggregating $4,000, issued by
tiIe Oberlin bank in favor of Mrs.
Chadwick August Gath, 1908. On his
same day Mrs. Chadwick obtained
from the bank a certified copy for $12,-
500 n Receiver Lyon testified that
there was nothing ON the books of the
bank ITO show hat at the time of re-
ceiVing the drafts and the check, Mrs.
Chadwick had a cent of money in the
bank or was i'm any way entitled to
credit. The drafts were entered on
the o of the bank one month n
five d,yS after being issued. During
this tine the books of the OberIin
bank showed that the money was held
to its credit ct the Importers and
Traders National bank, in New York,
while it was in reality ir the possess
sion of Mrs. Chadwick.
The letters written by Mrs. Chad
wick to Beckwith n Spear were
a during the afternoon session and
afforded considerable amusement to
the court. The letter first read was
written Jointly to Beckwith and Spear
n related to a loan which Mrs.
Chadwick had secured from Mr. Fay,
of Elyria, Ohio. 1t declared that the
writer mad given a check to Fay and
when he came to see them about it,
all they had to do was to say that
they had agreed to extend her the
papers,. It would not be necessary
for them to say anything beyond that.
The letter c~oncluded:
"He said that you would be sur
prised to seq the check in his hands.
so you better be surprised. If you
don't say it you can lookIt."
The second letter was written to
Spear alone. In that Mrs. Chadwick
',sked him to certify a check to be
given by her to Henry Wurst, of Fly
ria. saying that she would get. the
goods in the east to meet the check.
S draw a check for $4,000" the
letter said, 'and I will sign it, and
Fay you we'll for it. 1 am about to do
something Of great interest to us all"
District Attorney Sullivan laid great
stress in presenting the letters to the
jury, to the apparent fact, that Mrs.
Chadwick was asking for the certifi-
cations of a check not only when she
had no funds in the bank but ven
before she had signed 1t.
1t is practically settled that Andrew
Carnegie will not appear in the case
at all. There has been nothing in the
evidence as presented by the govern
ment that bears in any maner on the
papers signed with his name, which
bore so large a part in the financial
transaction of Mrs. Chadwick, and it
is not expected that the defense will
offer any testimony that will call him
to the stand to testify in rebutta1.

ly see those visitors whose business can
not be attended by anyone else. Also. for
the present 1 am afraid that | will
have 10 let my mail go by the board.
There is lot of work to be done pre-
lminary to the meeting of the Iegis-
lature, and the more that is done now
the less there will be to do during the
session
/ am beginning to wish for the re-
turn of the Secretary from the main
land, as his presence here now would

When will he get back? 1 Shink
that he will return as soon as he can.
IN fact, 1 do not believe he will stay
in Washington during the whole % the

Doubtless the Governor is beginning

Of the Governor, it was. And nobody
has heard from the Secretary as to
his return since
