ing promoted by the New York branch of
the National League of Commission Mer-
chants for the establishment of COM
mercial treaty with Germany, whereby the

League.

HORSES IN DEMAND AT PENDLETON
Five Thousand Have Been Shipped
Out of Eastern Oregon During
Past Year.

PENDLETON Or, Feb. 20.-Five
thousand draugnt horses have been
shipped out of eastern Oregon during
the last II months, at prices ranging
from $40 to 500 per head, is the esti-
mate of prominent horsebuyers in this
lection.
OF these 5000 horses gathered from
the ranges of eastern Oregon it is es-
timated that two thirds of them have
game to the cities Of the northwest.
including Tacoma, Seattle, Portland
and Spokane, to be used in heavy
trucking and streetwork, and the re-
mainder have gone into the farming
districts, where horsepower is still
used almost exclusively in place of
steam.
1t is estimated that following the
construction of the north bank road
and other projected railroad branches
and extensions in the inland empire
within the next few years, work
horses will be very plentiful and very
cheap, since a large number will be
released from work and will be
thrown upon the markets of the
northwest

ADJUSTMENTS
"Her Double Life"

Our people will have an opportunity
of seeing one of Wilkie Collins plays
at the Keylor Grand, February "a,
when the brilliant actress, Laura
Frankenfield and a splendid company
present Her Double Life" Wilkie
Collins was a literary artist of no
mean ability, even if not the highest;
with an eye for salient effects, a skill
in touching the more obvious chords of
emotion, and large knowledge of life
and books, no one enjoys greater
popularity in England and America.
He exhibits remarkable dramatic
power; his plots, though always IN
tricate. are never obscure or perplex-
ing. Miss 'Frankenfield enjoys an en-
viable reputation as an actress far
above the ordinary, and whenever an
announcement is made that her COM
pany is coming it is hailed with de-
light by the theatre goers. Her play
this season is stronger than last and
the scenic effects and costuming are
particularly fine. A large audience
will greet this talented actress and her
company.

BRIDGE GANG STRIKES At LEWISTON
Thirty Throw Down Their Tools
Poor Pay and Poorer Grub,
Say the Strikers.

LEWISTON, Feb. 20.-Thirty men
employed on the Clearwater bridge
threw down their tools yesterday
morning and made a demand for
higher wages and were paid off by the
contractors. There are about sevein-
ty men employed in the construction
of the bridge and the remainder re-
fused to walk off the job. The men
state that the pay, which is from 81
to 1925 per day. is not enough. They
also had several minor complaints
including hospital fees and food.
Contractor Peterson stated that the
men did not give him notice of any
grievance they mad and he knew
nothing about it until he was in
formed that they had left the bridge.
Mr.. Peterson says that he treats his
employees in the best manner possible
and that this was the first trouble
that he had experienced. A crew OF
tnirtyfive men will leave Spokane
today to take the places Of the men
who quit and no time will be lost in
putting in the piers.

wheat belt has made rapid growth
the past two weeks and Unless cold
snap should occur farmers say the
indications are excellent for another

is nearly two inches deficiency in the
rainfall, but this apparently has not
retarded the growth of fall wheat In
many fields the young wheat stands
five inches high and shows a fine

Wasco county Judge Henderson was
made chairman of the meeting and
Councilman Mcdonald, secretary. The
meeting was unanimously in favor
of the division and indorsed A. A.

tive to present the bill if elected
Two propositions were before the
meeting looking to the creation of a
new county. One that the bound
airy line be put between Mosier and
The Dalles and tne other that it be
placed this side of The Dalles and ex-
tended down to the Big Sandy river,
in Multnomah county, provided the
matter could be satisfactorily ar
ranged with the citizens and authori-
ties of that county.
Judge Henderson said that Hood
River should be more closely ident-
flied with Multnomah than WascO as
its interests were nearer those of the
former than the latter and that it
was time to break away from Wasco
and organize a county more in touch
with the progressive ideas of Port
land After a discussion, it was de-
cided to let the Mosier people deter
old county or the new.

Fears Felt for Grand Ronde Fruit


LA GRANDE, Ore, Feb. 20.-For
two years past the Grande Ronde
orchardists have failed to raise the
usual large fruit crop in that section,
but this year they are determined to
have a crop if any exercise of indus
try and skill and scientific methods
will help in any way to secure it.
While the weather mas been quite
cold in Union county the orchards
have not advanced. yet there is fear
among orchardists that the buds will
swell and be killed later by cold
weather, as for the past two years,
and so to prevent this disaster it is
estimated that 5000 loads of manure
have been scattered in the various
orchard districts of the county, in
hopes of holding the frost in the
ground and thus preventing the trees
from making an early advance
This method is now being diligently
pursued all over the valley and every
effort will be made TO prevent a
third failure of the apple crop.

Yet, the Canadian Pacific is power

kane to Seattle, there will be trouble
If it links up with Hartman mad the
Oregon Short Line into Portland, there
will be just as much trouble for it
would mean much to the twin cities to
get that route into Portland Not
many of the shippers of the twin
cities are so welded to Hiss as to care
whether their stuff goes out from
Seattle or from Portland When new
trade routes are opened, the chances
are good for heavy traffic over them,
particularly when, as in this case, the
rival has been a monopoly over a

Anyhow, the first gun in the new

friendly line to Chicago. 1t will be
