The Democrats need not try 50
nard to enGender bitterness among
Republicans in this county. There
will be no blood shed over the selec-
ton of Republican candidate for
Congress. The question is up to the
people to decide and however they. de
eide it will be satisfactory. So don't
worry, You VIII likely have enough
to do to find victim for the slaugh-
ter after the Republicans have
signified their choice between Captain
Doveuer and Mr. Hubbard.

New Era In the Vatican.

Now that the Spanish three-men
power" has been dissolved by the
death of Father Martin, general of
Jesuits, II is surmised that Pope Plus
may inaugurate a more liberal era,
says a dispatch from Rome. General
Martin was associated with the secre-
tary of state, Merry del Val, and Car
dinal Wives in the power behind the
throne" These three mighty Span
iards welded much influence from
the time the pontiff was settled on the
papal throne, though they were care
full not to show their hand.
As to the person of the new general
of Jesuits opinions differ, but it is al
most certain that neither an Ameri-
can, German or Frenchman will be
chosen, since the church favors a citi-
zen of lesser power, like Spain or
Portugal. The late general was, on
more than one occasion. called a great
strategist by Pope Plus, and 1t is a
well-known fact that he held his
forces well in hand.

SALOONS CAUSED DISORDER
san Francisco Has Been a Model OF
Dcccncy With Closed Saloons.

Immediately after the earthquake
and fire at San Francisco the mayor
ordered all saloons closed. The San
Francisco Chronicle thus commented
on the results a few days ago:
"San Francisco for the past fort
night has been absolutely free from
disorder and virtually free from
crimes of violence. No drunken brute
has beaten his wife. No gamblers
have murdered each other in low re-
sorts. Except for some dealings with
sneak thieves the occupation of the
police court is gone.
1t is a most impressive object les
son of the value to society of the re-
striction of the liquor traffic. We are
promised continuance of this peace
full condition for considerable time
TO come, save only as drunken men
drift over from Oakland, where the
authorities have been so reckless as to
allow saloons to open. We may be
compelled to renew the quarantine
against Oakland.
This absolute demonstration that
the saloons are responsible for all
crimes of violence makes 1t imperative
that, whenever they shall be allowed
to reopen in this city, their license fees
be fixed at rate which will support

CATTLE TO TACOMA
Big Hole Basin Feeders Send 80 Cars
TO Tacoma by Way of o. II. & n.
to Glut Northwest Markets-Portion
of 10000 Head Fed in That Section
During Past Year.

Six hundred head of Montana cat
tie passed through Pendleton over the
o. r. & n. this morning en- route to
Carsten Brothers of Tacoma. This
is portion of 1900 head of fat cat
tie which have been sent of Big Hole
Basin during the past two months and
is practically the last shipment to be
made from that place this season.
There were 80 cars in the shipment
which passed through here this morn
ing and the lot will average about l.
800 pounds each. They were driven
65 miles from the feeding grounds in
the basin to Red Lodge, the shipping
point.
Most of the cattle fed in the Big
Hole asin during the past winter
went to the Chicago and Omaha mar
kets, about 5000 head going to Seattle
and Tacoma over the Northern Pa
cific.
The Big Hole Basin is feeding dis
trict strictly, there being but few cat
tie raised there owing to the scarcity
of range. An abundance of excellent
wild hay is raised in the basin, which
is high altitude, and most of the
farmers buy cattle in the outside dis
tricts, for feeding purposes.

THE YAKIMA WOOL SITUATION.
General Prospect in the Direction OF
Stiff Prices.

In reviewing the status quo and fu-
ture possibilities for the wool market
in the North Yakima section the Re-
public of that city says:
The wool market is looking up. An
advance in the London market has
had tendency to bull the eastern
market. and the reaction has affected
the west to such an extent that the
growers and buyers in the Yakima
valley have locked horns again. The
result is that the buyers have an in
clination to loosen up little and some
of them are paying good prices for
wool.
The wool growers are feeling jubi-
liant over the situation. They say that
wool will go higher than 25 cents per
pound. and Ernest Berg declared with
buoyancy that wool was worth &c
cents now. Mr. Berg is one of the
largest wool growers in the valley. He
told a reporter for the Republic that
he had sold $4,000 pounds of wool for
2Oh cents, and he was sorry for hav-
ing closed the deal because. he felt
confident that the market would ad-
vance. Koshland Bros, of San Fran
cisco, bought Mr.. Berg's wool.
A number of sales were closed Sat
urday. Pete Agor sold $4,000 pounds
TO the Portland Woolen Mills for 29
cents. James Wright sold large
consignment of wool but the terms
were private. Coffin Bros. have dis
posed of about 100000 pounds to the
Portland woolen mills, obtaining 19
cents. Much of the Coffins' wool
however, was exceedingly heavy and
the price paid on the entire lot is said
to have been good.
The wool buyers are 10th to admit
that there has been any material ad-
vance in the market. They admit that
the London market has gone up per
cent but this, they say. is so slight as
not to affect the price in the United
States more than one-fourth of a cent
per pound. An advance of Is or 90
per cent In London will cause an ad-
vance I'm the eastern markets of prob
ably l cent, and this being the case
the buyers fail to see upon what
grounds the wool growers are basing
their claims for big rise in the mar
ket.
