1000 GALLONS OF ICE CREAM.
Pendleton is Making Preparations for
Warm Weather

1t is estimated that 1000 gallons of
ice cream are being made in Pendle-
ton tonight for the Fourth of July
trade.
At eight pounds to the gallon this
means 5000 pounds of ice cream for
Pendleton people tomorrow and to-
morrow evening. At three dishes to
the pound 1t means that $4,000 dishes
of ice cream will be made real ly for
Pendleton's celebration.
All the various ice cream parlors
and drug stores and the Blue Noun
tain creamery are making the supply
of cream tonight and it promises to
be good ice cream weather tomorrow
1t is believed that nearly all of this
entire supply will be consumed. The
prospects are that an excellent attend
ance will greet the celebration in this
city. Milton, Athena, Weston, Adams.
Echo and Helix have all signified
their intention to send good delega-
tions to the city.
The supply of refreshments will be
ample. The committees have arranged
/ for free ice water at every available
place. refreshment stands will also be
| situated at various places about the
| grounds on all the streets and there is
no probability that any one will suffer
| from thirst. $4,000. 81,

WHEATRAISER'S WOES.
Trying to Get Even With Buyers-Dry
Versus Moist Grain,

1t may be poor consolation to east
ern wheatraisers, who have little trou-
bles of their own. to learn of some of
the woes of brother graingrowers on
the Pacific slope, says San Fran
cisco dispatch.
They have long sought to thwart
the smartness of grain buyers who
seemed to have the art OF combining
and controlling the market down to a
nicely that some men would call a
science. While it is very evident that
combines have existed among buyers
it is quite another thing to put a
finger on the guilty ones and reach
Years ago the farmers of the Sac
Years ago the farmesr of the Sac
ramento valley, in California, gave up
trying to break up the combines by
resort to the law. But they made an
arrangement that at first they were
sure would work out solution of the
difficulty. They organized farmers
warehouse companies and put up
storage buildings at the railroad sta
tions to hold their wheat until they
could dispose of It at the top of the
market Here again they were thwart-
ed.
The season of harvest is followed by
several months of excessive dryness
and the grain in storage dries and
shrinks with the advance of the sea-
son. Then the shrewd buyers come
and buy the wheat usually paying a
satisfactory price. But the grain is
sold by weight and what they pur'
chase is practically devoid of all mois'
ture. 1t is shipped to San Franciscc
and there held in storage close to the
waters of the bay until by the absorp'
tion of the moisture ii has recovered
its original weight. 1t is then sold a
a good profit and goes to the mill ol
abroad as the condition of the marke
may dictate.
The farmers of the state of Wash
ington are at the present time wrest
ling with an alleged combine of grail
buyers, but the attorney general of tn,
state says there is no way of reaching
those in the combine except through
the federal statute. The state law
are ineffective.

ASK FOR AN ORDINANCE.
Would Keep Young Boys Away From
Cigar Storc~.

That boys under the age of 16 or
Is years should not be allowed to lott
er around cigar stores is the convic-
tion of District Attorney Phelps, and
that official says he will request the
city council to pass an ordinance for
bidding cigar store owners from al
lowing boys to hang around their
places.
There is now state law upon the
subject, but it prescribes a severe pen
atty for the boys. This, in the opinion
of the district attorney is wrong, as
1t would only harden boys to give them
jail sentences, whereas by having a
city ordinance forbidding cigar deal
ers from allowing them around their
places the burden would be placed on
the dealers as in the case of saloon
men.

PUMPING \ COUNTY DRY.
Peculiar Condition Alleged to Exist
Near San Francisco.

Alameda county lies just across the
bay from San Francisco, says the Ex-
aminer. A long panhandle reaches up
on the east shore of the bay and takes
in Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda.
High hills rise above the bay not far
back, and on the lowlands south of
the three cities are many orchards and
rich lands of high value.
But the value of these lands has
been imperiled, If the allegations in a
suit at law to be instituted in the
courts of Alameda county are substan-
tiated, by the exhaustion of the water
by a water company.
The company owns $4,000 acres,
but 1t is asserted that in its endeavor
to supply water to its customers in
the city it has rendered valueless 200,-
| 600 acres of orchard lands.
Practically the whole county has
been drained by the hundreds of wells,
it is asserted, and the suit is for the
purpose of securing a permanent in
junction preventing the drainage of
the lands. Experts were sent over the
county and found that in some places
the water which had been within five
| feet of the surface had fallen to SO
feet below the surface owing to the
| system of underground drainage
| brought about by the use of the sub
! terranean pumps by the offending
company.
| 1t is calculated that the company
will require 10000 600 gallons a day
but by that time if the people of Ala
media county continue in the state OF
mind that now possesses them the OBJ
| jectionable pumps would likely be out
| OF commission.
