men would not be human did they not
waver toward the side in which their
interests and friendships lay vested.
The only way to overcome this condi-
ton Of affairs is the appointment Of a
national commission, the members of
which have nothing to do in baseball,
no financial interests at stake, and let
them decide cases purely upon their
merits.
The bowling of 'soutlaw'' at the Tri-
State is something like the barking Of
rat terrier at a mastiff. This league
goes ahead, attends to it's business and
pays its players good salaries. Be-
cause the club owners do not care to
come In under the rule of the national
commission and sign the national agree

IN the "organized' settlements pour
hot shot into the league, It's officers
and players. ~ ,--..s. -.
The outlaw league is good thing for
baseball players. It keeps the organ
lied forces from ruling the game with
sway as arbitrary as that of czar.
It affords players a place to 90 whom
they get tired of being traded around
like cattle. The league pays good sal
aries. It looks as solid financially as
the others. It's craftsmanship is Just
as high, if not higher.
Baseball has become more or less of
competitive business proposition, and
under this rule the " outlaws,n so
called, have just as much right to do
business as the "organized" forces.

This has been profitable year for
vehicles, too. Large sales have been
made in wagons, buggies and hacks.
1t is notable that there is growing
demand for a better grade of vehicles.
Especially is this true of buggies and
carriages. Nowadays when sale is
made on buggy the price seldom
figures less than 800, and the buggy
must be up to date, having rubber
tires, well painted and of good con-
truction and material. Runabouts
lead the sales in vehicles.

will be watched with deep interest all
over the northwest.
Several million bushels of wheat are
marketed in this county every year
and the farmers feel that if the small
fraction of a cent on each bushel is
saved, or if small saving is effected
in the purchase of grain sacks, that
the organization will have accom-
plished its purpose.
Umatilla county alone will use over
1900 900 grain sacks this year, which
with the present price of 10 cents each
means an expenditure of over 5000, 900
for sacks.
Other Eastern Oregon counties will
use at least 1900, 900 more, making a
total of over 1000, 900, for this part
of Oregon. At an average of 10 cents
each this means an expenditure of
over $400, 900 or nearly half a million
dollars for sacks, to say nothing of the
other expenses of harvesting.
Farmers who are interested in form
ing an inland empire grain growers
association will investigate the situa-
tion III the sack manufacturing in
dustry with a view to relieving this
heavy expense which is imposed upon
the farming communities.
Most of the sacks used in this por-
tion of the country are made in Cal
cutta, India, where the seaweed used
in manufacture of burlap is produced
in enormous quantities.
The Philippines are very heavy
producers of this same article and
Formosa and Japan also yield large
quantities of it. The production of
the various kinds of sea weed used in
the manufacture of burlap and bind
mig twine has been especially stimu-
lated in the Philippines since the
American occupation of the islands,
and it is not believed by farmers that
the scarcity of the raw material has
caused such an advance in the price
of sacks.
Sacks have heretofore ranged from
Ia to cents each, and this jump
to 10 and 10 1-2 cents each in one sea-
son is alarming. This increased ex-
penditure of about $4,000 in Una
tilla county alone for this years sacks
has caused farmers to wonder if there
is really scarcity of sacks or sack
manufacturing material, or if it is
the combination of the manufacturers
which has caused the advance in price,
The price of wheat is not advancing
and this extraordinary expense of
sacks, the constantly more a s.
ing price of labor and other increasing
expenses of farming brings the profit
down to minimum and unless some
thing is done to relieve the situation,
the farmers feel that the wheat grow
ing industry will soon become over
burdened with expenses.

WHEAT SALES DAYS
Farmers to Hold Sales in
Various Centers.
WHEAT BUYERS TO IDONGRAIN
Preliminary Steps To Form Perma-
nent Organization at Meet
ing in Pendleton.

The farmers of Umatilla county
will hold wheat sales days this year
at the different wheat cepters of the
county, says the East Oregonian, at
which bids will be received on the
different crops and varieties of wheat,
just as the woolgrowers sell their
wool. in public competitive sales.
A meeting of the farmers of Una
tilla county has been called for Sat-
urday afternoon, June lat th pa rlors
of the Commercial association in PEN
dleton, at which time temporary
organization will be effected and pre-
liminaTy steps taken to organize and
name sales days for wheat in the var
ious wheat centers of the county.
This meeting is called by leading
farmers Of the vicinities of Pendleton,
Helix and Athena, who have request
ed the East Oregonian to announce
this preliminary meeting and urge
farmers to attend.
Farmers from every part of the
county are urged to be present, that a
full expression from all may be re-
ceived. 1t is desired to bring all the
farming communities together in this
matter for mutual interest and at the
meeting to be held next Saturday, one
of the chief features will be to name
sales days at the various wheat GEN.
ters of the county.
Not only will the matter of public
sales days be discussed, but the matter
of purchasing sacks, freight rates,
farming implements and other sub
jects important to the farmer will also
be discussed at length.
Especially will the subject of grain
sacks come in for discussion. Sacks
are now 10 1-2 cents each and the
price is constantly advancing. The
farmers feel that this is an unreason-
able price and steps will be taken to
investigate to ascertain if the. condi-
tions warrant such prices.
It is the beginning of the most i'm
