All kinds of feed are cheaper in
Pendleton now than at this time last
year. although hay is much scarcer
and more difficult to secure.
Chopped barley is now selling at
$22 per ton, while last year at this
time it was worth $24 per ton.
Bran is worth S1g and shorts $50.
while the former was worth 500 and
the latter S22 at this time last year.
Baled hay is now worth from SIS to
$l7 per ton and there is very little
in stock in local feed stores. Loose
hay is plentiful but baled hay is al
most out of the question.
The movement in all kinds of grain
feed is very heavy now, as many of
the combined harvesters feed chop
ped barley almost exclusively. Four
and six horse teams are loaded in the
city every day for different parts o.
the farming district and shipments
from this city to various parts of the
county are also made every day.

FOR HIGH WHEAT PRICES.
Prosperous Year Ahead for North
west Farmers.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 26.-
Everything in sight indicates that the
wheat farmers of the Northwest are
in for another year of remunerative
prices, whether or not a big crop is
raised 1t is doubtful if there ever
was time when Minnesota. North
Dakota and South Dakota were so
thoroughly cleaned out OF old wheat
as at present. The high prices that
ruled so long drew the grain into
market, and many a farmers bin was
scraped clean.
When the new crop begins to move.
there will be so many holes to III
that conservative grain men do not
believe prices can go down very much
unless the farmers are obliged to
throw all their early wheat on the
market, which seems unlikely In view
Of the prosperity Of the average
Northwest wheat raiser

FEDERAL AID CUT OFF.
To Receive Allowance Must Live i'm
the State Home.

Olympia, Wash, July 36.-The
state board of control has been noti-
fled by the national board having con-
trol of soldiers home funds that SOL
diers who live with their families
outside of the soldiers home and re-
ceive aid therefrom must be dropped
from the rolls upon which the appor-
uonment of government funds to the
home is based. The home receives
800 year for each inmate.
The last legislature passed a law
permitting old soldiers to reside with
their families in Orting and receive
clothing and subsistence from the
home to the amount of 500 per
year. The government regulation
providing that homes giving aid to
soldiers not inmates of the institution
could not receive aid from the gov
ernment aroused fear that the home
in this state would be cut off COM
pletely fom government aid, which
to $4,000 yearly. The new
law and regulation will cut down the
amount to n considerable extent. but
will not be fatal to the successful
maintenance of the institution with
funds provided by the Legislature.
