LAST ASCENSION FIZZLE.
Aeronaut Paul Scores Another Fluke
With His Balloon.

For the fourth time a balloon as
cension was attempted again last
evening by Areonaut Paul. and like
all the other trials resulted in a dis
NAL failure.
1t was about s o'clock last evening
when the balloon was cut loose from
its moorings in the ball grounds and
it rose in the air until the swing up
on which sa the balloonist was per-
haps so feet from the ground. Then
the balloon began to descend and in a
few minutes had returned to the
ground again inside the ball grounds
A large crowd had gathered at the
ball grounds to see the ascension, and
the people living on the hills were all
out watching the sight. Consequently
the failure was disappointing. The
failure is attributed to the construc.
ton of the balloon, as it was appor.
emily we'll filled last night, but was
unable to hold the air.

The Grand Ronde Lumber company
of Perry, is now building five miles of
railroad grade out of Meacham, to
tap the timber belt to the north, and
within the next two months the COM
pany will build a mill at the head of
the canyon just west of Meacham, on
the line of the o, r. & n.
The o. R. & n. ice pond just west of
Meacham will be used as a storage
pond for logs, and two or three log
ging trains will be put in service on
the branch to supply the mill with
logs.
The new line will be five miles long
at first, and will run along the sum-
NIT of the mountains through new
and untouched body of pine and fir
timber. 1t will be extended indefin-
itely as the needs of the mill require.
1t is possible that other branch lines
will be built next year, and large
sawmill industry will be established
there. 1t will also open up a new
wood supply, as much of the timber
that will not be fit for saving will be
used for fuel.

CAPTAIN BRUIN IN TOWN.
Is Captain of Detectives on the Port
land Police Force.

Patrick C. Bruin, captain of detec-
and a much attacked man as a result
of his position. is in Pendleton today.
Accompanied by his wife Captain
Bruin arrived here yesterday to visit
with the family of his brother-in-
law. Judge Thomas Fitz Gerald.
The family of the latter is now at
Lehman Springs, and Mr.. and Mrs
Bruin will go there tomorrow. How
ever, the captain intends to return to
Pendleton and pass the greater part
of his vacation of two weeks in this
city.
AS his position in Portland would
indicate, Captain Bruin is a .detec-
tive of high standing. He received
his first experience in the profession
in the famous Scotland Yards of
London.
Previous to his coming to Portland
Mr.. Bruin was in the service of the
government in the Philippines, where
he was an officer in the constabulary.
Soon after his arrival in Portland he
entered the police reserve there and
rapidly rose until he became chief of
the detective force.
Ever since his appointment Captain
Bruin has been hotly assailed by the
enemies of Mayor Lanes administra-
ton and also many efforts to under
mine his work have been made by
men over whose heads he was pro-
NOTED.
However, in spite OF the assaults
that have been made upon him. Cap
tain Bruin has held on and has
earned an enviable reputation for
competency.

At session of the county commits
sioners held this morning bids for the
construction of a new bridge across
the Umatilla Just above pendleton
were opened, and the one submitted
by Il. Eberhart, of Walla Walla, was
accepted. The price for which his
firm offered to construct the steel
bridge was $3.50. The bridge is to
consist OF one span of 100 feet and
is to be IS fet wide 1t must be
November l. The contract for the
bridge is now being prepared.
When the bids for the proposed
bridge were opened this morning, II
was found that four companies had
entered the field. From these the
court accepted the one made by Eb-
erhart & Co., who were also the sue
cessful bidders 70 rthe two small
bridges that are to be placed across
Wild Horse, near Athena.
Road Change Must Wait.
AS result of the courts action in
ordering steel bridge to replace the
one now across the river above town.
a quietus has apparently been placed
on the movement for a road down the
north bank of the river to Lee
street. 1t was the supposition that
should the court decide to build the
new road the old bridge would be
repaired instead of new one being
ordered.
This morning the popular petition
asking for the north bank road was
rendered the commissioners by It. C.
TAYLOR, But as the paper is not n
legal road petition, 1t was taken by the
court as merely showing the senti-
ment in favor of the road and no
action is required on their part.

JUMPED FROM THE WINDOW.
Disastrous Effect of a Disagreeable
Dream

While I'm the throes of nightmare,
and believing himself in burning
building, a man named Lee jumped
from a second story window In the
Queen lodging house last night and
suffered a dislocated shoulder as a re-
suit.
Lee is a farm laborer and has been
about Pendleton for some time. He
has been rooming at the Queen lodg-
ing house and went to bed as usual
last night. However. the hot night
was evidently too much for him. for
about midnight he got up believing he
was in San Francisco during the big
fire and that his only safety lay in
jumping from his window. Jump he
did. It Is 25 or 80 feet from the win
dow to the ground where Lee struck.
and he came down with such force as
to dislocate his shoulder upon which
he struck.
The shock of his fall caused Lee
to awaken, and he discovered that
though he had been hot enough for a
fire, he did the wrong thing in jump
ing from his window. He was picked
up Immediately and taken to DIR. Nc
Faul's office, where his shoulder was
attended by Drs McFaul and Smith.
As he was painfully hurt II was
necessary to give the injured man
chloroform before his shoulder could
be readjusted and the operation re-
quired some time. However, the

LOW WOOL PRICES.
Boise Paper Reviews the Situation at
Home and Abroad.


The Boise Statesman reviews the
wool market in the Following man
ner:
1t looks as though the price of wool
has sought lower level, Sales made
here recently have ben at concessions,
though many owners are holding out
for better offers, The sale recently
held at Shaniko recorded prices about
one cent below the preceding sale and
all offers were accepted.
The cause of the drop seems to be
shading of prices at the London auc-
tions, though other influences have
also been at work. 1t is claimed the
high prices of the early part of the
season resulted largely from the fact
that old stocks We're well cleaned up
and manufacturers refused to buy at
the prices then established.
To what extent the combination
among buyers may have been influ-
entail in depressing prices is not ap-
parent If they simply foresaw that
conditions demanding lower prices
would soon develop, they were act
ing on the defensive.
But II their determination not to
buy while quotations in the east called
for higher offers arose from some
other reason, it is quite probable they

1t is possible the wool houses under

should become necessary for the mills
to stock up. The London sales then

HALF A BILLION IN HAY.
Total Product OF Meadows Last Year
Valued at S5I8.OOO. 600.

Last year the product OF our 3d.
100000 acres of hayflelds and mead
ows was e0,531,617 tons of hay, hav-
ing a value to the farmers of s5l6,-
600, 600 in round numbers.
The average yield was one and one
half tons per acre and the average
price $3.50 a ton.
Comparisons between widely separ-
ated states can not be fairly made;
for instance, the high average OF s16
per tor in Rhode Island is rot due
to the superiority of the hay there, but
to the fact that local supply satisfies
but a small fraction OF the market
demand; whereas, the low average
price of 81 per ton in South Dakota
does not indicate inferior hay, but
that the local market is so fully sup
piled that the price falls nearly. IL
not quite, to the actual cost of pro-
duction.

TEA AND THE JAPANESE

With us Japan has covenanted at our
earnest request that she will not subsi-
die certain industries-for instance, tea
export. Some years ago she set apart
an annual appropriation for the Jap
anese Tea guild. Subsidy? Not at all,
said the Japanese government, nothing
nothing in the way Of a subsidy. It
was merely to advertise japanese teas,
advertisement having been made nee
essary by the serious and growing com
petition of Ceylon and Assam teas. I
am told that about l per cent of the
money was actually used for advertis-
ing. The rest went to pay the expenses
of branch tea houses opened in New
York, Boston, Montreal, Chicago and
elsewhere.
Why were these branch houses de-
sired9 Because for years foreign firms,
chiefly American, had possessed the tea
exporting trade of Japan, and the gov
ernment was determined to secure that
trade for Japanese interests. Foreign
governments protested at Toxic. They
wasted their time. With that faultless
politeness that is one Of the charming
traits of the Japanese, the government
officials gave assurance of their most
distinguished considera tion-and re-
newed the appropriation. 1t lapsed
while the war was on, because Japan
had need elsewhere for all her funds;
but now the government has in hand an
act that will finish the work begun by
the appropriation and effectively put
the foreign tea houses out Of business,
