eUDeEoNs ALWAYS PLENTIFUL

"What is the USE" ask the conf
dence game people, "of working
hard for a living when there are so
many easy marks at larger" What
is the use, indeed? The world is
full of easy marks. Take, for in
stance, the case of the woman in
New York, who engaged herself to
marry a long list of men from whom
she obtained large sums of money.
Looked at calmly, without prejudice,
it seems like a transparent game.
She advertised in the personal col
umns of the New York newspapers
that make a speciality Of such adj
vertisements, proclaiming herself as
a rich widow pining for matrimonial
companionship. Her victims were
numerous. They came tumbling
into the net from all directions.
Working in collision with confeder-
ates, she could move from house to
house-the gang had three richly
furnished establishments-and pose
under various names, and it is be-
lieved that she was engaged" at one
time to four different men and get
ting money from them all at once.

According to a Washington
despatch, it is Mr.. Roosevelt'S
ambition to become a senator from
New York after his retirement from
the White House in 1909. Atpresent
there are two vacancies, so to speak,
from New York. Technically, Mr.,
Platt's term expires March 4, 1903.
The state has got out of the habit Of
sending first-class men to the Senate,
and IS not, perhaps, likely to revive it.
Would Mr.. Roosevelt be as free in the
clustered air of the Senate chamber as
In the HouseP Would he not be
csbined, cribbed, confined? Who
knowsP The free man stands a better
chance there than in the House, where
you dent amount to much, unless you
are the Speaker or q member of the
Committee On Rules. Even the Old
Man Eloquent might have hard
shedding in the House nowadays.
But it is unnecessary 10 worry about
Mr.. Roosevelt's future; nor can be
have time TO worry much about it.
When be loses his present Job, he may
like to ge abroad strange countries for
to see and to meet the soverelgns and
statetmen whom be keeps a.guesslng.
Finally, so long as be has a voice, a
pen, and a gun, he will keep healthy
and happy and not let the public
burst in ignorance of his opinions,
whether he has an of1ce or has none.

AMATEUR PREsTIDIGTTATORs.
Five Pendletonians Learn Magic Art
mt $40 Per

After having given a course of in
struction to class in this city, c. S.
Bennett, the prestidigitator, left last
evening for Baker City. Mr.. Bennett
is magician of rare ability and did
some very clever work while here.
Among those who took instructions
in the "kleptomaniac" class were Roy
Alexander, Allie Knight w. H. Lytle.
DR.. f. A. Vaughan, who denies the
same, and Roy Raley. 1t is under
stood the last named was admitted to
the class free on the ground of being
a booster" ,...@ ~
The course given by Prof, Bennett
consists of instruction in 10 different
prestidigitator tricks and the price
charged was $40 per man. While the
instruction given was very thorough,
none of Prof. Benefits pupils have
acquired that complacent manner
which characterizes the professor and
which is said to be necessary to sue
cess in that line. Consequently none
of the boys have been applying the
newly acquired art to any extent.

WHEAT TESTING WE'LL.
Helix AMI Athena Crops Are Also
Yielding Better Than Expected.

Wheat that has been threshed In the
vicinity of Helix and Athena is test
ing extraordinarily well and is also
yielding better than was expected.
Farmers from that district are in
the city today and say that most of
the crop so far as threshed is testing
from 80 to 6l and 60 pounds per BUSH
el and is yielding from 35 to AZ BUSH
els per acre.
The quality of the wheat is excellent
there being very little shriveled grain
in it. The farmers are happily sur
priscd with the result of harvest so
far and hope to secure about the or
dinary yield after all.
Many large threshing outfits are
now at work in the wheat belt and
harvest is at the full tide. While there
is scarcity of men, yet most of the
outfits are working full handed and
harvest will not be delayed by the la
Dor question.

This is the day schaduled for n con.
ference between the local wheatbuyer.
and the executive committee of the
Wheatraisers' association upon the
subject of sales day rules and ware
house charges. However, up to 8
o'clock the members of the farmers
committee had failed to meet and so
no conference had been held.
During the forenoon Dan p.
Smythe, secretary OF the wheatrais-
ers, was given a copy of changes in
the sales day rules desired by the
buyers. Some of these are regard ed
as reasonable and will doubtless be
granted. The complete rules will be
published after adoption.
Regarding the matter of warehouse
charges the buyers have intimated
that no concessions will he made by
the companies having warehouses over
the county. At present the warehouse
charge is so cents per ton for storage
of wheat ana 10 cents per ton extra

when they sell their wheat in the field
and the same is delivered directly to
the warehouses, no charges should be
made.
Should the warehouse companies
continue to refuse concessions 1t is
very probable that independent ware
houses will he erected over the coun-
ty by the farmers. Under a state law
they may do so. and railroad compa-
mics are required to lay sldetracks for

teed.
II is held that Independent ware
houses would be of benefit to the far
mers IN numerous ways. At present
they declare the buyers decline to
purchase wheat when stored in an
other company's warehouse, thus leav-
ing farmer at the mercy of the COM
pany having his wheat. BY having

held that a farmer would be in better
position to sell to any OF the local
buyers, and would also be free to sell
