STOCK MARKET FEATURES
DIVERS OPINIONS AS TO LAST
 WEEKS RISE.

Easier Money Brought Renewal of Am
 bttiOn to the Bulls--Some of the
 Opinions in Wall Street.
 The rise in the stock market last week in the face of, at the start, of ap- perent very tight money and of cries to Secretary Shaw to help out, puzzled many in Wall street, but it was seen before the week was out that the prime movers in the up-turn had advance knowledge as to the easing up of the money situation, both in London and here, and as to the heavy increase of exports from this country to the for eiGners.
 The market, of course, is trying to make some response to the many man. ifestations of prosperity. It is not in the nature of an American to regard passlVely such indications of great corporate wealth and earning capacity as are illustrated in the disbursement of stock to Pullman shareholders with a market value of nearly S7O,OOO, ,OOO; in the purchase of $62, ,OOO, ,OOO freight and passenger cars and in the $50 1000, GOO tackled on to wage account of railroads east and west of the Mississippi. There is possibly some excuse, too, for the

attempt to secure fresh credit abroad after month in which the value of our staple exports to Europe has amounted to SOS 100000 with S65 ,0OO, ,OOO due to us loom cotton alone.
 And then, when the Nothern Pacific semi-officlally promises shareholders rights valued at $3O to $40 and so on, and soon Wall street cannot however go into reckless speculation for the rise without striking the snag of tight money again.
 Then the big inroads into net earn ings by the big increases of wages all over the country by the railroads will "cut some ice,' if not soon, then later ca,
 No doubt the big men have the stocks and are optimistic and have only some bonds to sell and new Rotations of stocks to make.
 A few of the Wall street oninions are as follows.
 John H. Davis, of John H. Davis & Co.,: Money is scarce; 1t has been scarce for more than year, and the outlook for any material and sustained relaxation is problematical.
 Leopold Zimmerman. of Zimmerman X Forshay: "The coming year promises to be amost prosperous one. If such re- ports, based on close study of cJndi- lions are borne out, the stock market 1t would seem, must respond to the sus- tained or enlarged revenues of the vari- ous railroad and industrial organiza- tions.''
 George I, Malcom, of Malcom & Coombe: we, therefore, still favor the maintenance of a. trading position, buy ing stocks only on good declines and selling them on rallies"
 Henry Clews letter is bullish on the country: Tt seems quite certain, there fore, that a very considerable expansion of mileage must be expected until our traffic system is brought up to public requirements This means continued activity in one of our leading industries that of iron and steel. The develop ment of electricity as a motive power is also creating a large demand for iron and copper. What the effect of the continued heavy production of gold, likely to be greatly augmented will be remains to be seen. There IS already much imitation in both security and commodity values, and the increased production of gold will tend to accel- crate rather than retard this tendency.

late hour this morning.
No one was killed. but a mail clerk
is said to be fatally injured.
The cause of the wreck is not

Wrecking trains and doctors were
sent from Sparks, Winnemucca and
Carlin. and in a few hours the injured
were being cared for and line being
cleared.
The four mail clerks most seriously
injured were Chris Denzing, Thomas

Washington, Jan. 6.-The methods

Purchase Exposition company may yet
be a subject for national investigation.
Senator Carter. OF Montana, presi-
dent of the national commission, is
prepared to turn loose a broadside in

is that Carter's commission is indig-
nant at the treatment fair officials are
said to have accorded members of the

throughout except at the end to tell
loudly OF the great scientific and eco

the federal law permitting and financ-

position Of salvage after the fair is
criticized.

That Washington sheepmen were
given land in Oregon TO which they
were not entitled. when the Wenaha
reserve was divided several weeks ago,
is claimed by many sheepmen Of
Umatilla county. When the land was,
aprortioned at that time the basis of
the division was presumed to be the
former use CT the range and the own
ing of adjoining land. Those who had
land bordering on the reserve or in
the vicinity and had previously used
the range, were placed in class A.
However, the arranging of the
classes was left largely to a commit
tee of IL, of which the majority were
Washington men, and it is claimed the
division was not made according to its
merits. According to one sheepman,
class A, as arranged, really consisted
of the committeeman and their friends
rather than those who held adjoining
land, or had been using the range pre-
viously.
So great is the dissatisfaction over
the manner in which Umatilla county
men were kept out to the advantage
of Washington growers, that it is
probable a protest will be sent to the.
secretary of the interior AS the
leases will not be issued until March,
there will be opportunity for such to
be done between now and that time.
On January % another meeting of
the Cmatilla county sheepraisers as
sociation will be held in this city, and
it is said the above matter will furn-
ish one of the principal items of bus
mess. Whether or not the associa-
ton will decide to make a formal pro-
test against the manner in which the
reserve was divided remains to be
seen. However, it is certain that such
would be very pleasing 10 some MEM
bers of the association,

Baker City, Jan. 6.-The coal
shortage is becoming very serious,
Within the past week a number of
houses have been closed up and the
people moved to the hotels and board
ing houses where they can get rooms
that are warm and meals that are al
ready cooked and do not have to wor-
ry about fuel,
Also a few days ago a big boarding
house was forced to shut down and
turn away the boarders and roomers
because no fuel could be secured.
The extreme shortage in coal has
created such a demand for wood that
the dealers cannot supply it and were
fuel must be had imme ediately, such
as in big boarding houses they have
been compelled to shut down.
Wood dealers are working almost
continuously to get wooo to the most
needy but cannot keep pace with the
growing demand. The wood is be-
ing distributed in small quantities
here and there where there is the
most urgent demand.

lection of Indian photographs, just is
sued:
Lee Moorhouse, Of Pendleton, has
gathered into an album his unique
collection of Indian photographs, made
by himself during many years, at
Umatilla reservation and elsewhere.
AS an amateur photographer, Mr.
Moorhouse has shown judgment and
skill that may be called actual genius.
His famous pictures of the Cayuse
twins has had more vogue, perhaps,
than any other pictures of Indian life
ever made. "The Last outpost OF a
Dying Race" is a remarkable photo
graph of a lone Indian tepee, with
background of dark landscape and
horizon of flocculent clouds-a pic
ture that is history and poetry to-
gether.
In the collection are several new
pictures of Indians and of Indian life
never before offered to the public
Descriptive matter in prose and short
stories in verse, lend interest to the
collection and give expression to sem
timent that the pictures create.
Though most of these pictures were
shown at the Lewis and Clark fair
everybody couldn't see them; and be-
sides, the collection has high value for
permanent possession. The price is
